With some TLC, this could be a classic in the same vein as Walking Wounded. Very thin and technical climbing up an appealing red face, broken up by two roofs, worth a lap.

2nd shot today. By far the hardest of the "Grade 25 Trilogy of Face Classics at Cosmic", and quite a fair bit harder/more sustained than Aesthetic Images. Very sustained, with four demanding cruxes, but all of the bolts are in really bad condition, and the runouts on this at two points are downright dangerous.

2 laps. A brilliant route. Like Images, it is proper hard at the grade (like 1.5 grades harder than Toyland), and very runout, but stunningly powerful face climbing, with 4 distinct cruxes. Felt like I would put in a good showing on the 2nd lap, and had rad linkage... but the dyno in the middle (which I could sort-of-do on the first lap) totally shut me down on the 2nd lap, and is a bit of a deal breaker for me. The traverse in particular is engaging and demanding. I did a weird number of "foot hops" on this route.

Few tries to figure out correct feet position for the first bolt crux then onsight to the anchors which gets easier as you get higher if you have endurance. Quite curious to know if anyone is using the side pull crimp out left to go direct (seemed hard) .. Or everyone is sneaking around a bit to the right and up after Forst bolt

Second shot, had to figure out a sequence for the start moves. On the Send shot it was onsight from the 3rd bolt to the top. Really hard, sequency, start until you get to the third bolt, then it gets progressively easier all the way (with a few 22 and 21 moves thrown in for good measure). Really long, and bloody brilliant. Had tonnes of fun on this.

Speaking of bolts - this looks like a prime contender for some new ones! I have a few to donate if somebody rises to the cause. |
