Ascents of Zorba le Gros having Beta

Fell two Times. Fun rout!

Too good to be a 7b! No hard moves, just endurance.

Did it bolt-to-bolt and then sent it on the first redpoint attempt. Eaaaasy

Great!

Put the draws in

End of day redpoint, 3rd shot overall

2 falls, sweet climb.

This really should have gone down quicker. The first 3 bolts felt like they had been olive oiled.... So hot and humid. Nothing like thinking you're gonna slime off a jug. However, awesome kneebar and splits move helped me bypass the crux!!

And off with the wheels. I really wanted to onsight this stiff little unit but the wet tufa and total lack steep power prevented me. The top after the no hands knee bar is big punchy moves that are a lot of fun but hard for weak arms.

The most inspiring line here. Sweet, steep tufa. Climbs differently than you expect.

I will remember for a long time...

good route, a little pump. short.
