Ascents in Upirngassaaq Boulder

The start is quite difficult without the added height of the snow bank. After a few more ascents and feedback, I think V3 is a fair grade. Minimal options for feet and slopers for the first handholds make this more than a beginner climb.

More interesting than Chilly Fingers. Might even recommend merging them as the climb is very similar.

Solid climb. V2 might be a bit sandbagged.

This climb is much harder when there is no snow drift at the base of the boulder. A snow drift and crash pad can bring you up to the juggy side pulls in the crack but when there is no snow drift you have to climb tricky slab with minimal options for feet. Recommend upgrading this to V2.

Maybe VB if the snow is high and you can reach the first hold in the crack, but holds are pretty sparse if you start from the ice. Snowy conditions did not help. Will attempt again in the spring and suggest a new grade.

Good warm up for this boulder.

-7 degrees Celsius, wind chill -13, wind NW at 16-18km/h.

For those that don't want the climbing season to end or are eager for it to start. Crux and compact start.
