That low crux is definitely a tough one! Took a couple of goes to get it worked out. Ended up doing a thumb press on two tiny pebbles to help with the stand up. Hopefully they stay there for a long time!
Overall an awesome climb, can't wait to return to try the extension.

another send at the Theej! not totes sure about the anchor placement though? I ended up topping out at top of the fridge kind directly above last bolt. but did feel easy for 23 once i knew what to hold
I am on my way to climbing every route here! (glacis is gonna be a toughie though). I have said it before and I will say it again - bury me at the Cathedral |
|||||||
19 | ★★ Vitez - with Anton | 25m | |||||
Oh woah this gets 19? maybe? feels stiff for 18 down low sure, but 19? probs checks out. this climb is delightful though! thin hand crack start, to 3D nonsense, to sport climbing past a few bolts. it may actually be the best warmup here! so bring a rack folks and stop warming up on wacky tabacci

|||||||
25 | ★★ Imogenation - with Anton | 22m, 11 | |||||
Back on the horse. I would be honoured for this to be my first 25. All moves go, and honestly was pretty stoked to link to the penultimate bolt. The next lil sequence is wild, and there is one move that surely is not the beta but it just might work?
|
|||||||
23 | ★★ Imogen - with Anton | 15m, 7 | |||||
climbed this to attempt the extension, but seeing as i got this clean, im ticking it! esp considering my shocking attempt the other day. moves from second bolt to third are probs my second fav sequence at the Theej

Took 4 sessions to finally piece the crux together! It was a long process, but the sequence is really cool. I know a few strong boulderers have talked about a dynamic method, mine was fully static.

wahoo! stemmed and hand jammed to clip the 6th bolt. then a few moves in the crack before coming back onto the face. maybe 21 this way? or easier? was i meant to do more of the overhanging crux face? maybe? but could i? no way so why bother

I was suprised to get a clean repeat of this after having a heat death on vitez. But the highlight of the day was then catching Jake Delaminate on the Longest Survivable Whip™ on his greenpoint attempt. fell from the chains to just below the first bolt. jeez louiz.

easily the biggest whip i have ever taken. perhaps my first true 'fat winger'©. punted from the chains onto a TEARRIBLE .75 totem that ripped. guess the only way to truly know if your piece is bad is to fall on it. yep. it was bad. If the route is 15m, I fell at least 10 of that. terrifying. caught by a delightfully small 5kn peenut tho! felt a fair bit pumpier on gear ugh
