Ascents in Pinnacle Face having Beta

Getting more trad hours in, my gear placements are feeling better.

First time on Tip Toe simul climbed as a party of 3, started up on dusk camp to camp in 1:53 at a comfortable pace, perfect climb to practice moving together.

w/ laura and a worried ollie

Wouldn’t normally free solo but better with friends

Arrived to 3 parties on it already, and another in line! We got about halfway up and got sick of waiting in traffic. Made up our own 2 pitches to avoid the crowds and top out before we lost the sunlight. Quite fun actually!

Weird start, with a bush growing in the crack that I got a mouthful of trying to navigate. Ended up escaping into the line to the left to top out.

Great route, plenty of traffic on here. Protection option abound. Great for beginner leaders.

Did in 3 pitches

Led pitch 1 and 3. The step across was daunting, I feel it’d be easier for a taller person. Also not a great fan of the traverse and the slabby bit. Also not a fan of the walk off. No country for old men

That stepover and that corner finish! Simul'd with extra grade 11 corner.

Don’t waste your time on this when siren is just round the corner. Pitch three was kinda sick tho, rest of them not so much...

Someones name that rhymes with rat forgot to climb the pinnacle. Great climb but you are really there for the main attraction. Got passed by four soloers humbled the mental game for sure.

I have achieved enlightenment

Great way to start the trip, a chill fun outing despite the rope getting stuck behind the bock on the Pinacle!

Ange fell on the step across on the 3rd pitch. Bit of a nightmare for all who climb this. Only fell about 2 meters and she climbed up with ease. Fun outing

So good! First ever climb in Araps with the best crew. Managed to get our rope stuck while rappeling from the mini pinnacle.

4 nude fellas under moonlight, one modest affair with zoe's poor chalk bag

zoe lead the pitch to the corner for her second lead did very well

What a beautiful route! Absolute ⭐⭐⭐

First climb at araps to see how the rock was. There was alot of talk of a powerful crux guarding the top of the second pitch. Really cool belay spot for the top of the second

Look, I didn't enjoy the traverse but the 4th pitch is super quality and the 5th would be amazing if it was abit longer. Highly reccomend the 12 variant, very cool!

modesty chalk bag

Simul

First benightment... bailed at the bolts and put some alpine rap skills to use.

Moonlight ascent was enamouring

Barefoot ballsy climb

Nude in the moonlight. Got pretty scared when we thought there might be another party behind us.

Pretty nails

Starting the trip off right

Loved the step out! Linked pitches 4 and 5, did the 12 exit.
