Ascents of Arnor

Got caught by a thunderstorm. Lowered the second and abseiled down

Climbed out with pack as a single pitch. Way too much rope drag to do that again. WATERMELON-SIZED ROCKS LOOSE halfway up first pitch, on right face. They're sitting in shallow dirt and will come out on the next pull

Allowed myself no use of either section of left-facing corner. Probably made it climber closer to 10a that way.

A little wet yesterday at the lower crux. Always a great climb. Didn't use the right edge this time.

Lead P2.

Nice climb out to end the day.

Lead first pitch for the first time, followed up the second pitch.

Finally completed Arnor pitch 2 on lead on the whole route with pre hung draws.

Lead P1, Su lead P2, then we backed off due to losing the sun.

Seconded the first pitch on a caterpillar setup, super fun to learn. Loved the fun parts to a crux right before the belay.

On pitch two lead up the sport bolts except for instead of going to the last one, went left for the last two bolts on the prow. Didn’t have long draws on them but would have been better to have one especially on the “second last one” done that way to reduce rope drag. Didn’t want to do the long runout to a ledge then last to the slab, the second crux of the actual route.

Went to the bolted anchor that is shared at the end.

Was the first ever time I lead part of a multi pitch and it was amazing. Learned about guide mode and blazing up a second different ways on the ledge. Will always be a good Halloween memory!

So much fun! There was a bit of water running down one section but it wasn't too bad.

P1 is excellent -- well worth doing as a single-pitch sport climb. P2. Isn't bad, and makes for a fine 2-pitch climb, but P1 is the money pitch.

Great climb, second pitch felt pretty easy, or it was the pressure from it starting to rain while climbing it.

Took a fall -- mostly because my rope needed to be flicked over something in the middle of the crux.
