Ascents of Halva as Hang dog by Mark Gamble

1 rest at the lower crux. About 3 rests at the upper crux.

A bit less falling this time.

Basically; every single crux 3-4x. Fell my way up it. A solid work-out for sure. GF in the background, and 5hrs sleep, hmmmm. 😞

3x at the crux. Was today's work out.

Didn't think I'd make it to the anchors. :-|

3 rests I think, but good to get to the anchors.

I find this route more challenging than Pass The Bosch. 3 rests to get it finally.

3 rests. Pretty smashed from Pass The Bosch.

Got all the way up, thru the crux & above, almost got the mantle, but had to rest. Damn it. :-/

Too pumped after the 4 laps on DD.

Whoohoo, only 10 rests!

Belayed John Deb, then he belayed me. 2 rests at crux.

Birthday shot. A ton of rests.

with Damo. The crux still eludes me :-(

With Damo. Can't get thru that crux clean.

With Damo. Couldn't do it without a rest. Left wrist problematic :-(

Can't even get up this without a rest :-(

Not so much discomfort, Chiro might have helped....

Right royally stuffed up that crux clip a few times & had to take a rest. Had a few practice falls, always good stuff. Dave belayed.

Helen belayed & had some arresting-a-fall practice, which was good, whilst I took a few practice falls.

Thought I'd chuck Ron at this one and take a few practice falls at the same time. I think I took about 6 in the end, getting longer each time, but not more than 1m above #4 FH, but it was a start at least. Perhaps next time I can increase this distance again if I'm not too scaredy cat?

2nd Dave up it, but had to rest at the crux.

With Dave. Pumped at the crux & had to rest.

With OPG. Several rests but got there in the eventually.
