Super classy hardish move at second bolt. Crux is the whole traverse, but especially going RH to glued on crimp rail thingy and then matching it (and then clipping somehow? lol). Another heartbreaker move right before the cave under the anchor. So much harder than it looks from the ground. My brain will never learn that big chalk =/= big hold.

Figured with the draws on I’d have a fiddle - didn’t want to commit to getting to the top of something with the finger playing up.
The parts I did were super fun, but a few too many crimps to be happy pulling. Keen to come back when feeling strong |
|||||||
25 | ★★ Captain Kurko | 22m, 12 | ★★ Very Good | ||||
Punchy start, then pumpy to the top. All this time off has got me getting pumped on everything. Fun and full value, but not enough long sequences - just 2 moves to break repeatedly

Fun corner smearing, but it’s all jugs after which is a bit sad.
Might be a bit easier with my secret new beta of “jump to the jug to avoid the hard moves”. Said jug then pulling off the wall a couple minutes later was a little bit engaging though |

Top rope hero! Pleased with this, given it was fourth day on and skin was running low. Two attempts, first on lead to work it, then decided to TR - didn’t think I would have it in me to lead and send, but thought there was a chance on TR. Really nice climbing!

This def felt a bit hard for 22 but maybe it's because I found it quite reachy and hanging the bolt plates felt a bit rough in places. It's a great pitch but I was def feeling the weight of all of my shit hanging off of me!

This route is good but also contains loads of loose rock and is quite runnout, even with a rack. You want to be solid at the grade and the gear worth bringing on this to place would be a 1, .5, .2 and/or a .1.

Rocking rock certainly does rock. Tried not to step on it however was tricky not too. Very cool pitch along the arete with some nice exposure. A bit sandy on some of the horizontal breaks and a crimp move or two along the way.

After the bizarre are scramble and traverse (we did it unroped), we found the start at a chimney. The bolt looked quite high but the chimney looked safe. Certainly an interesting slaby move on crimps near the old carrot. Enjoyed this last little bit. | 130m | ★★★ Classic | ||||
What an adventure to just get to the line. Traverse around into the slot is pretty cool and exposed. We roped up for it. Reminds me of an easy squeeze test.
Doing this in a party of 4 takes a good deal of time.
Overall I think the exposure and journey on this route might have added a grade to it. |
