Ascents of Snowflake

More long fun.. Paul had talked about a nails crux move, thankfully long arms help.. The tops sand roof isn't great but finishes the route nicely.

Gets a star for the position, but not my jam.

Backed out 3 times on the crux before figuring it out, and i think it’s probably a bit tough at the grade

No crux gecko today.

Crux had me confounded! Really liked the sequence once I found it.

3rd Shot. I found the crux of this hideously nails due to my height, necessitating a shoulder-busting powerful iron-cross maneuverer. The upper roof was complicated by the "crux lizard" (a leaf-tailed gecko) that did not want to leave the crucial mid-roof hold, and had a propensity to bite anyone who's hands strayed too close. The lower section (to the crux) is great, sustained climbing, and the finishing roof is entertaining thugging.

Bailed on it as I killed my rope on a fall.

Great climbing before and after the crux, the crux feels just hard for the grade. Next time with climbing shoes. Barefoot accent.
