Ascents in Lugarno by Tom Bes

Used 2 cams and the second one was probably an overkill. Bumped a #6 the whole way. Love the offwidth footwork lessons that this climb has taught me.

Finally sent on lead. You basically only need a #5 to bump. Jake Delaney didn't like the topout but I don't mind it. Boulder start was also enjoyable.

Still a pleasure. Cleaned up the top and removed loose rocks so top out is now possible. Left a sling around tree for rap off.

Becoming more pleasurable as I get better at baggy knee/thigh locks and strange arm bar + cupped hand combos.

Practiced my frog foot techniques, found some good palming spots and some tight chicken wings and it made the difference. Also support from local kid walking the dog was a big boost.

Felt harder this time, I think I was less straight on. But what bomber stacks

Trsolo ascent cause my climbing partner is stuck in a different LGA. Great climb though!

Need to practice this size....
