Ascents in Asia as Red point by Justin Case

Apparently I had done this before. Felt like the first time! Really enjoyable climbing with a potentially confusing middle section.

Really sandbagged and not suitable for warm-up. Also, polished. That being said, it climbs really well through good holds on an overhang. Sustained till the end!

Easy climbing until you get to the reachy and pumpy crux. Once you know where the holds are and what to do, though even this guy with no endurance can do it

Great to get a 7a in SE Asia finally... Easy climbing on a juggy groove until you mantle and get to the cave; then a bit of a crank through the roof to gain the delicate balancey vertical section, after which comes the redpoint crux, not too hard, just need to keep it together. A classic! Last send of the Yangshuo trip... Bittersweet. Igor took a 12m+ victory whipper from the top! The b*lls!

2nd shot. Cool boulder problem first 3 bolts into exposed beautifulness! White Mountain is amazing!

Tried this last year and got denied... Different story this year, 3 shots to get this hard boulder start that I sent 3 minutes after the second attempt. Hardest send so far in Thailand!

Repeat. Great feature, easy, and excellent views!

So we (Igor and I) were shitting ourselves since like 2 days before upon the prospect of going up this king line... It was only going to be Igor's second multipitch and I my hardest multipitch was Humanality... On top of that, we knew we had to take 2 ropes; one of which we were advised to take on a pack, which meant that the seconder had to climb with a 5 kilo pack while climbing hard grades one after another! Therefore, I was in panic mode when I lead this first pitch, as it didn't feel easy..

Got up at 6 am to get stuff on Tonsai before Maria, Pe and Marcelo arrived. Got up to the ledge, then Igor felt the previous night meal, and so did I... After that, we attempted the Tonsight, but failed to find the right beta first shot. Both got it easily second shot- classic overhanging Thai climbing!

This time this felt not as good as last time, but I guess the polished rock is made up by the fact that you got pretty good pockets and amazing features and views!

Repeat RP. We tried it after doing Humanality on the 10/10/12 and were too exhausted (Igor and I), then returned next day and smashed it! I told those guys that this was a classic, and didn't believe me after we ghosted it, but quickly changed their minds when we sent it... Classic!

Repeat OS. Setting up TR for Diego and Peter. Nothing too good...
