Ascents of Adagio

Climbed probably the 'alternate' version of the start with the weather. Prepared to multipitch then it was too wet.

Backed off the traverse under the roof. Need to sort out this head thing? Real proper climbing here, like in my dreams

Very nice climb. Took the alternate first pitch. Last pitch is not that great. Would rappel after the 3rd next time.

Airy moves, very fun.

Had to bail out since my seconds freaked out at the traverse pitch

Forth pitch is so short that I'd skip it next time. Adds one more rappel if that's how you're getting down.

Generally good protection, a lot of variety in the problems, and some outstanding views. I led pitch 1 (5.7 variant), which goes well with good protection. I sent Phil up pitch 2 & 3 to link them. He got the traverse to belay 2, and the crack up to the roof fine, but backed down from the traverse under the roof. I took over, finished the traverse to a belay on a platform on the arete. Pitch 4 goes hard right off the platform, on small nuts, but, the hard bit is fairly short.

Followed pitches 1, 3, and 4. Lead pitch 2 which I followed the previous time I climbed it.

I had forgotten how good this climb is. Good climbing on all the pitches, and excellent positions.
