Ascents in Choc Chip Chai Sector by Paul Frothy Thomson

Trad Ascent with Gene. 2nd P1 (Gene lead ALMOST the whole pitch on sketchy, sandy trad). Onsight P2 ENTIRELY on trad gear. 2nd P3 clean. P1 is pretty chossy, without any memorable moves. P2 is slightly better rock, but stunning exposure and moves, and an insane finale (particularly when you're 5m above your last piece of pro, hanging over the void). We got lost on P3, and I ended up 2nding it barefoot, chalkless, in the lampless dark and in the rain, for a proper epic exit and escape to the top.

Repeat. Warm-Up. Good. Interesting.

Jugging and a bit techny, but quite overhanging for the grade. Onsight in the rain except for choosing to grab the rung that serves as an anchor in order to avoid the wet crimps. Still calling it a tick, but I'll forfeit the onsight.
