Ascents of Samarkand by Paul Frothy Thomson

Repeat, this time with a view to ticking the crux pitch. Despite being apprehensive, I ended up ticking the crux P2 solidly placing the gear on lead. Clean Lead: P2, P4, P5. Clean 2nd P1 and P3. THE best Trad multi in the Blueys, and one of the best Blueys multis regardless of style. Outrageous well-protected steep tradding.

The best Trad Multi in the Blueys? Every pitch has something RAD to recommend it. Great gear, great rock, amazing position. Steep! P1 - Clean 2nd (funky corner and slab); P2 - 1 fall at the end (last 5m) when I placed a cam in the crucial slot and tried to carry on (extremely steep varied corner and crack); P3 - Clean 2nd (strenuous tips laybacking); P4 - Onsight (Enjoyable easy steep stemming); P5 - Clean 2nd (great, sustained vertical crack climbing). Thanks JengA, this one was Mega!
