Ascents of Quetzalcoatl

Clean to second last bolt. Super techo crux.

First red-point attempt today, after another quick rope-solo lap to find where all the holds were hidden. Really cool low-angle slabbing, with some awesome thin and technical moves at the top. It's a shame the hard-ish slabbing is only about 8m or so. I find this hard to grade, because it's so very slabby that I can take my hands off after every few moves, but the crux contains some extreme body positions (square-heel rockover on a slab?) to make it go at a reasonable grade. Let's call it 22.

3 laps on Top Rope Solo, all of them clean. The first time I've been on this in over 2 years. It felt desperate last time I tried it, but today it simply felt awesome. Short, thin and techy with some very weird moves. Marred by its shortness (10m or so), and a shale-ledge topout. Probably worthwhile when combined with Quetzal to make either a giant pitch, or a 2-pitch multi with a hard finale.

Top-rope solo lap putting together the moves and verifying the final bolt placements. About grade 20 for MOST of it with a few hard moves surrounded by easier slabbing, but the last 8m or so is desparate, and probably 23-24. Could be pretty worthwhile.
