Ascents of Grace

Techy goodness 💦 have wanted to try this one for a quite a while now, didn't disappoint

All the moves first go! found a good sequence staying on good hands to get my feet lets at the crux before committing to the small pinch/crimp. 2nd clean to crux a few goes to stick the move and them clean to the end.

Excellent!

What a beautiful climb

A few top solo laps to try and learn it. Very insecure, and technical, engaging most of the way. but seems plausible.

A true techy face for the mountains that doesn't require excessive pulling power. Balancy

Second go, beautiful technical arete climbing

Didn't pick the right feet at the top and popped off

awesome technical arete climbing

Graceful indeed

Love this one, super technical and crimpy.

Warm-up inspection bolt to bolt. Pretty tough in places, one move I didn't figure out, but was half-arsing it as my shoulder started hurting.

Such a cool climb! I didn't really try the very start moves but i think i could do all the move but not the last big RH reach to the pinch block on the arete. I tried to put my feet as high as i felt in balance. It was my first try though. Will try it again!

Understandably popular. Weirdly endurancy for such a short route. Heartbreaker finish.

13 years after my previous attempt in 2008. Fell on the last move on this Alzheimer's OS try.

What a beautiful line. So tecky, beta-ful, sustained. Love it all. Rad to flow through the traverse, have some fun, then get serious through the crux then to the anchor. New and refined crux beta saw it through.

This climb is excellent!! Loved the traverse, loved how technical and sequence it is. An absolute delight

Worked the moves but couldn't put any sequences together on a 2nd lap. First bolt has been replaced at some point for those staying off it.

Very delicate and sharp crimpy arete climbing. Definitely need fresh skin and a cooler day for this one

Can still only make it half way through the crux!

Don't know what to say. Far beyond the hardest rock climbing I haver ever experienced.

Sorted all the moves, good one almost as good as lactictoc. Don't have to walk that far for it though

4th shot today (7th total, over about 8 months). The 2nd shot went perfectly until my footer slipped on a sandy footer going for the anchor jugs. 3rd shot I sandbagged myself trying to avoid the sandy footer (and completely messing up my sequence), so: 4th shot it is. The dangerous (though not uninteresting) start robs this climb of perfection (and soon becomes tedious). Great technical moves and sharp crimping with a pronounced crux. Doesn't climb much like an arete, but DOES climb rad.

Interesting moves of the arete, but the traverse is kinda horrible.

Awesome arete, shit traverse. Might have ticked it on my second shot, but only had one. Next time.

2 shots and linked to top crux. Happy with this effort considering its my first venture into the 26 realm. Hope to tick this by the end of the year... Amazing line

2 shots. So damned close! Fell off with my fingers on the clipping jug after the crux (didn't grab the hold properly before committing to using it, and slipped off) on the second shot. With good conditions, this one HAS to go. Thanks for the help on the crux sequence, Gene.
