Ascents of Poupetskaia

My anticipated to the death on-sight fight lasted about 1.5 metres, ending in predictable failure on the steep bouldery start. Reading other comments, apparently people use something called a "knee bar", which sounds like cheating. I need to study the tactical genius of Parkyn. He is useless at spotting knee bars, but I had just seen him somehow manoeuver his way to the head of the queue on DNA and get to run a convenient top rope lap on someone else's rope, which was a remarkable effort. After a second failure on the start, I solved it but pulling on a quickdraw. The wall above is excellent, a little thin and sharp on a couple of moves, but engaging. Felt a little run out by Kalymnos standards, but safe falls.

Nice bouldery start. But awkward and sharp broccoli part in the top part

Pretty happy with my first 7a+ haha Loved the technical bits

Well.... got scared at the jugs ... classic!

Techy

really cool drop knee higher up. a bit squeezed now.

Did the hard boulder start with kneebar and crossmove, failed in the upper part… painful small crimps

Bouldery start then enjoy the wall
