Amazing route - well worth doing on its own if you can find the top of it. Have to say it felt exceptionally sustained for a 15. There's a decent 12 to 15 m section of continuous jamming/laybacking with no rests. I had to bump a few cams and if you told me it was a 17 I'd believe you! Made it about halfway up before resting. The top stays very wet after rain and I basically bellyflopped onto the slick belay ledge for a break. Jason did a sterling job grunting his way up, spurred on by threats of having to rap back down to the bottom and walk out! Starting P2 is also much more challenging after rain. Everything was glassy smooth but somehow neither of us came to grief. Awesome experience and one for the repeat tick list if I ever get stronger.
I am actually really loving cracks now!! This crack was hard but so fun. Thankful I had Dylan to lead and hype me up through the crack! Even got a couple of hand jams - crack addict!!
Had a fall on this one! Can't remember the last time I fell on a 15! Foot just didn't have enough pressure on the nub and it popped! Got back on and sent though I was wigging out and wish I brought more cams lol. My corner crack technique needs some work lol. Erin killed the whole crack part of this climb. crack addict! Was fucking windy and freezing up top but what an end to an epic day. Went skiing day after
Finished Determinant up this line. Incredible corner crack, such a hoot to grunt my way up it with minimal style and maximum effort - I definitely need to go to crack school. Accidentally combined P1+2, rope drag wasn't great but manageable. Well worth getting on!
Henry's birthday and pre-Easter egg hunt up Determinant and then Terminant Corner. Really goodjamming on Terminant. Would have liked it if I had some more cams in the Black Diamond sizes 2 to 4. Instead, I shuffled gear up as I climbed.
