Ascents of Trade Route

Took more sessions than expected. The beta seems solid now. Time to get on with Camel Filter

Quick burn on the in-situ draws. Sweet moves up to the fourth bolt, hard beyond that.

Whoa. Way harder than I was expecting. I struggled a lot with the the big undercling move. Hopefully can work out a more efficient sequence next time. III

Another exciting red cliff send! First burn was a mess of bad beta and rope burn, but went buttery smooth second time!

Super fun line - definitely packs the quality in to a few moves! Burly as crux on the undercling. Would get another star if not for the shitty scramble up.

Felt a bit easy for a 24, but think the pre-placed gear helped out.

first time pulling onto this, almost went clean, just popped off moving into the gnarly undercling once!

absolutely top notch sequence, only spoiled by trudging up the muddy slab to get there and bring lowered directly into the scrub

Almost got spooked in the rib feature however Brodie provided some key left hand beta which got me through. Motored up the rest and surprisingly got this clean second burn. Very fun climb if you dont mind the start scramble and the lower in the plants.

The dirty scramble and lower into the plants was a little less than ideal. The climbing on this however is worth the two stars. A cautious start for me and hanging at most bolts. Felt like I spent more time figuring out how to pull back on than climbing. The moves all went in the end.

Went second go, felt good. Will need to optimize to start working the extensions

Brutal flash pump. Couldn’t climb anything else after

Revenge at last!

Damn it feels good to be tall. Amy Trinh

I usually don't log re-ticks but this one I will Done on the way to Malboro Red

'twas a bit of a mess but happy to get the send!

Wasn’t that ard’- via some new beta went down easily today.

Satisfying send

Turns out just need to give it more beans on the undercling!

Thanks Raph for the short person beta! Feels a lot more doable now ☺️

Came back to working on this. Made progress to the undercling using a high heel hook but it felt really hard!

Got it second burn after dropping the onsight a month or so ago

Love this climb- short and strong

Sat and fell trying various beta but could not get to the undercling Help

Took the Trade Route but then it went south...

Such an awesome climb!

Feels proper messed for 24. Definitely missing some beta but usually I can onsight this grade. Felt more like 26 the way I did it

A tough prelude to the smoking routes above it.

Large jug between second and third draw blew off landing me in the bushes. Helmets are handy for belayers
