Ascents of The Reality Dysfunction

Good.

Just joking, Andrew! Never been so proud of dogging something to the top. The most sustained thing I'ver ever been on. The rain and wind came in while I was getting up so I pulled on draws and did not do all the moves to get to the top, but was happy to get to the anchors before the rain got stronger.

I very rarely log dogs of a route but this thing was too good to not comment on the quality. Incredible moves, nice airiness, and solid pump. Had a red point crack on my second attempt pump was too strong up the top to get through those tricky moves.

What a rig.

Warmed up putting the draws and trying the knee bar I didn't know existed. On second go I felt really fresh, the knee bar was a game changer and the whole climbed just flowed. Really cool route, happy to have ticked this one.

Finally jumped on this today, what a climb, interesting but not super hard moves, but it keeps going and going and going. Will definitely come back for this one

Repeat. Revisiting this one was fun! Used the knee bar this time, pad not necessary but it definitely maks it hands free if you had one.

Centimetres away from the onsight, fell going to the jug at the anchor. Went down easily second go. I rescind what I said yesterday about Magnitude; this is the best 25 I’ve done in the Mountains.

Fun climb. Used a kneepad.

Stoked with this! Absolutely my antistyle in every way. Scabbed a kneepad off Josh and needed every second of every kneebar. Double handjam below the top crux was a lifesaver. Definitely the best steep route I've been on

Coming back .. snatched defeat from the jaws of victory this time.

Off the top holds twice

Absolutely gold

So stoked on this! I was almost gonna bail from the cold and wind but instead decided to give it a shot before we left, armed with 2 jackets and a handwarmer. Found possibly every kneebar there was to be found and was still pumped out of my mind at the top, very nearly dropping it at the second or third last hold. I'd claim the amnesia flash on this but a surprising amount of the climb felt familiar once I got on the wall.

With a better beta, some calm, and a kneebar to clip the third to last bolt, it suddenly became the way I guess it should have been. Still baffled as to why it takes me so long...

I suck. Don’t know what kneebars people talk about, but I have found a hand jam. Maybe improved the crux. Did not think it would take this long 😭

Two attempts, both lost at the final crux, with two different betas. The last beta--which I think it's what i originally tried in May?--seems a bit better. Maybe.

Put draws up then gave it a go. Got lost in between the two rests

4 laps, not the most exciting day at the cliff... but Ben sent!

end of day

First crux move for me was over the first lip into the right side pull jug. After that it’s more of a power endurance game and finding kneebar rests. Top part gets pumpy.

Nice, especially the last part. Difficult to onsight some of the sequences. Second go was not too hard to get to first big rest, but had no plans for next clip. Would like to come back and remember some of the moves at least.

Dangerous amount of jugs on this thing

Forgot how to let go and surprised myself with a second shot send falling upwards the entire way. Probably the messiest it's ever been climbed

Pumping off even the biggest jugs.

Absolute mega classic! So stoked to flash, crux is rad, and the moves just flow

What a mega climb, so much fun.

Didn’t unsend! Nice warmdown
