Took at the first bolt trying to go direct. Stemming worked much better the second time around. Onsighted the rest of the route. Pulled a number of sequences out of my ass on the upper wall. Thought this was quite a stiff little unit, probably still would feel stiff even if you knew the moves. Very worthwhile! The name seemed appropriate, as I "kicked" up a high right foot at least 3 or 4 times
Both the things I was holding broke when I was less than 50cm off the ground, then I lowered and did the climb, lol. I get why this was bolted, but best to climb the other stuff first. A couple of cool sequences and a name that provided wisdom at just the right time.
Some very nice and beautifultechnical climbing! Like most aretes I climb, I tried to layback and smear on nothing on that blank bit after the first bolt, had a fall! Lowered after the fall and got the rest clean/onsight. The jug around the corner of the first is the beta hahahha. Stoked to get on
Pretty much an onsight, but fell sacrificing skin to the tough direct start before eventually starting up rhubarb like the guide suggests. Pumpy sequence straight away to a nicerest and cool finish!
Don't climb this is as sport. Take a No.4 or 3. A mantle onto slopers is probably the juice farmer here. Tear your pants before the second clip for a no hands, no pants rest.
Right as I was building feet on the undercling, my right hand pinged off the deep edge it was holding... sigh. Lowered off immediately, pulled the rope and went again. This time the hand stayed put and I powered through the move. Pretty sure there'd be a more elegant, less powerful way through, but what I did worked. Like it's neighbour, the rest of the climb was pretty straightforward
Great climb! Second time I've been on this and ticked P1 today putting draws on. Pumpy steep number that doesn't let up. Great position. Love it. Need to try P2 on a dry day
