Ascents in Mt Ngungun by Daniel Rantala

Wouldn't say it's a great beginner lead, pro could be better

Fun pockets up top

Was too wet to get past the first bolt

Easy

When everything else is wet this is one of the only dry ones

Overhang is a little committing when all your holds are wet!

Committing start when moist

Fun moves around the overhang.

Good for a 7 I suppose.

Plenty of nice holds on this one.

I discovered an even easier way of cleaning these climbs, down climb!

Almost ticked all the climbs here...

Not bad.

Yes, I did bother to bring a trad rack to Andromeda. Not the best crack, though I did just come back from Araps so perhaps I have lofty expectations.

Great climb for a 13.

No comment.

Possibly the easiest 16 in the world?

Very easy for a 17, just a couple moves off the ground.

Best climb on this wall.

We were going along this wall doing a bunch of climbs. Instead of cleaning we'd traverse to the next anchor and climb it. Until the next anchor was too far to traverse. Very efficient day with 9 (albeit easy) sends.

Runout but easy.

Good start.

These climbs are starting to feel the same...

Bit run out for the first climb of the year but quite easy

First lead of the year!

Second lead of the year!

Felt quite hard for an 18, had a much easier time with the 19 next to it...oh well first day leading for the year

Had to skip the last bolt cause it was too big...

Nice warm up

Had to bail to get bigger bolt plates, wasn't keen to solo to the top.

another climb another tick

My bolt plates were too small for last bolt...so had to bail off bolt to the right and get bigger ones

Scary but satisying
