Truly what dreams are made of. Incredibly stoked to top off 5 weeks at araps with this mega classic on the last day.
Got to take the famous whip punting the lip, then lowered off and pinkpointed it. Couldn't have gone better. I was even lucky enough to have Coedie and Donna as support crew taking photos, and Laura on belay/second to cruise the lip and prove how much of a wuss I am. |

21 | ★★★ Kachoong - with Phoebe, John Capretta, Samuel Francis, Jason Lu | 25m, 1 | ★★★ Mega Classic | ||||
This route has been on my mind since I first saw the legendary photos. It was a privilege to hop on and live out a climbing fantasy. Getting to the roof, I found myself increasingly intimidated and fluffed the beta on the traverse to the lip, requiring a sit. On the next attempt, I committed and pulled through, power screaming at the top of my lungs. Yes, it is as good as everyone says
|
|||||||
21 | ★★★ Kachoong - with John Capretta, Phoebe, Robert Varno, Samuel Francis | 25m, 1 | ★★★ Classic | ||||
On the backs of fallen Kachoong-rades and drenched in beta spray, the moves up the face came as they do in dreams. Many minutes passed resting before launching out into the glorious roof, monkey mode at full steam. A swift heel toe cam and the continued support from Kachoong-rades nipped the thought of cutting loose for a piccie, and pushed me through the lip! The real Kachoong is the friends we make along the way

The stuff of dreams. Did not have my feet sorted for the quest to the lip and took a small whip. Re grouped and turned the lip with no fuss immediately after.

Some awkward beta through the lower corner, but moves throughout the rest were otherwise a delight. Impressive lead by Josh, I would have been squirming. Good composure.

No idea what the difference between this and one day hero is to be honest. The grade probably sits at 22/23 for whatever line it is.
Very sustained and pumpy. Threw a rope down from Kachoong, for a lap. Just managed to hold it together, but would be hard on lead.

we all hopped on birthday boy's project. i dogged it on the overhang and had to ascend a couple metres to get back on. would be good to try it with preplaced gear next time, after i figure out the heel hooks and get over the exposure.

Also not a great route to climb in the rain, very soapy holds and the gear is a bit thin at the start making it all more spicier than I would like. But didn't weight the rope(didn't dare lol) so guess I can still come back to onsight it
