Ascents in Kathmandu Area

Excellent finger pockets through the face. The elephant trunk at the top is steeper, and pumpier, than it appears from the ground. Onsighted while hanging draws.

This right variation is more interesting when climbed right of the bolt line throughout. Climbed the easier left variation first, making this a more laid back climb with no possible onsight. Very happy to redpoint whilst fatigued and emaciated from high altitude! The crux hold really cranks!

First route of the day so I had a little juice in the tank

Tried twice, 2 months without climbing and I didn't have the gas
