Ascents of Vril

re onsight

Absolute sketchy 2nd clip - if you accidentally slip you will deck into some serious rocks.

Had looked at this a bit and was always wet. Had a chance to climb and it was completely dry. I think the wet wall gives this a harder grade. Cool climb!

Start holds were horendoulsy humid, lucky to have made the onsight. Went left under the roof cause there was heaps of chalk there but reading the description again I wanna go back and go right.

it's got some moves. I went left round the bulge. relatively good rock quality for Rosa, didn't find it slippery either (though some avoidable holds on the right were obviously wet).

Slippery AF 😬

Was sopping wet, all the way. Made this my grandest onsight ever. Would be a good climb if it ever dried.

Punchy and sustained for the grade (despite its short length), but continuously interesting. Great rock and moves. The hard section past the rooflet was a waterfall, but I got through it with some "alternative" holds.

Would be great if it ever dried... How was it ever considered 18, before the bolts?!

Still wet after the rain, needed to hang at the crux while I searched for dry-ish holds

So wet and slippery. Feels like 21 at roof, prob due to slopers being wet.

I knew that it was damp when I started so I am not sure why I carried on. Fell at the roof but got everything else ok.

So damp even though it had been a while without rain.. made it a few bolts up but didn't finish.

I have to admit the rock is filth. Like climbing greased ball bearings. Desperate.

Only made it to the overhang (third draw) but what an awesome climb to that point! Had to scrub the first major sloper hold as it was covered in salt residue but after that it was highly satisfying. The moves! The holds! I'll be back to tackle this one again!

Had a go, but was seeping too much between 2nd and 3rd bolts.
