Ascents in The Winter Wall

tough crux section between huecos. Give a session on top rope to work out the right beta. straight up probably won't work; work left then back right

decent holds, and some fun moves, but the wandering nature of the route and alternate paths (some of which are dead-ends) make this just an okay route

fun route. crux comes at the middle: right and left hand side pulling on crimps, stand up on good edge, right hand into press, work feet, left hand to crimp above undercling, work feet, then to great pocket

probably not as good as it once was, but still a couple fun moves. no stick clip required. totally possible to clip old bolt #3 around corner. work feet onto arete with left hand in pocket, bump up right hand side pull, then big move left to rail. decent edge at the top. top out left or right, just commit.

fun sustained route. beta notes: high left foot, left hand into small two finger undercling pocket. layback left on decent edges, then right foot out right to a good foot hold, then right hand to pocket. right hand side pull, left hand pocket straight up, right hand out right to good friction pinch, work feet, right hand bump to side pull, work feet, then left hand high to large pocket?

watch out for hornet nests on the ledge before the traverse

fun route really cool moves and very sustained

really wet and well, found a snake about half way up.
