Ascents of Lone Star

This is the type of climb that needs two ratings 19 for skills but 20+ for required power & endurance.

A nice long and sustained 19 with some precarious sections. I had to reach very far around the corner at one point which felt like I was off route or bolt was simply too far. Really rewires a clear head as your body is tilted awkwardly for 3/4 of the route, after which there is a truly rad section where you move out onto the face. It is intimidating but doable at the grade and well worth a send. Tough moves through lots of pinches on big pieces and then standing on them in a slopey fashion. Very cool! Next time 24 wink
