Ascents in Malabar as Tick

It's not my style to grovel in shaded caves on a fine winter's afternoon, sit start, or flail with fast failing forearms for heavily eroded, albeit solid, slopers. Yet here were a few more steps to success in the faithful marathon shoes.

If wet, provides a slightly harder but straightforward ascent.

Attacked the obvious line on-sight and drove through on the second attempt. You might want to tape up for this shredder.

Scrabbled at the flying sand and finally ground over the edge - thin times!!

Eventually layed away the underhang to reach the summit lip after getting knotted on inverted fist jams. So strange it's good!

Gets the tick for aesthetics if nothing else.

Testing times!

Very weird, but good!

A perplexing voyage through geometric constructs.

One hard move to step past the pocket, then a fraught jump-off. V2-V3 depending on your slabability.

To borrow a metaphor from the nearby 90-degree block: "easy as pi".

Harder than I remembered

Most of the start hold has crumbled away, now it's nearly a solid lip (range fit all coins near odin's eye)

Stuck between eroding cliff and tidal barnacles .. err

Ditto Waterever

Footholds erode as you scrabble ...

Pretty straightforward
