Ascents of Gumbo Akimbo

awesome long climb split by massive jugs

Whoaaa, almost didn't try this after watching Diego's onsight. Very intimidating, but so good!

Second shot, messed up the onsight getting into the roof after all that struggle on the slab.

A wild journey of hands free slab tip-toe nonsense followed by a overhung bright orange jug highway.

Thank Ewbank for the marginal hand jam rest before the mantle topout otherwise I'd have been logging a dog.

One of the coolest roof sections! 2nd go. Didn't feel too far off a flash which was motivating.

Real funky moves under the roof! Need to work it, but feels very doable.

After Jason McCarthy 's mega onsight of this, I was hoping I could flash it... nope: bungled the moves to gain the lip, and it was all over. A very weird start leads to a long pumper on generally good holds. Quite the long and varied adventure. With some reinforcement of the key flake in the roof, this could be almost classic.

What a battle! was on the route for ages. Crazy moves under the roof and quite a tricky upper move.

Wacky. Weird. And beautiful! Definitely coming back for the tick!

Great! techy slab to long juggy pumper.

It seems there are some mixed opinions of this climb but I enjoyed it. I found the top of the slab and and under the roof pretty hard so I was glad when I got to the long pumpy wall above. Lots of recover spots but it not over till the last moves.

3 stars? I don't think so but its ok. Not a fan of the slab to roof section. I would not want to fall there at all. The holds through the roof and at the lip don't seem like they'll last and the clip in the middle is really hard to get to, unless you go past it. The top half was pretty nice

That's a really cool line! Fun fun fun. Quite a hard sequence of moves just below the roof, then a long, pumpy and absorbing steep section peppered with jugs. Thanks for the rebolting ( Matthew Glendenning ?)
