Ascents in Armeos by peta barrett

Has a scary looking loose flake above the 3rd bolt. Can be done without it. Otherwise, apart from all the prickly bushes, the crux was really fun...in a crimpy sharp don't fall or you'll get cheese grated kind of way! Did I sell it for you???

Wowee! Tufaliscious! Straddles the tufa in a scary way for the boys....

ledges look a bit dangerous. dont fall!!

Repeat. Glad they have added two extra bolts so you don't die if you fall off. Still not worth repeating.... (oh the irony!)

awesome!

really run out! not so good when the crux is wet.

can be a bit flowery in spring... interesting finish

active rest day. unfortunately the figs were all gone...

love this type of climbing. crimpy and balancy. blew the onsight on a tr last year running out of time and just wanted one more lap on something... and got it clean... oh well

awesome! again, one move but persevere

tricky move but persevere!

Wore my old comfy, large, no edged shoes... Made it a bit more exciting!

6c in the new guide. Potentially the scariest thing I've done here! Thought I was coming off most of the way. Lucky it was short!

thin and crimpy

Had to find one more climb to log 400 new climbs for the year... This was it!

Super technical, crimpy and good!

Repeat. Warm down.... On a hot day...

Definitely 2nd type of fun... I crimped so hard off my nails I got a blood blister under my nail. Glad I don't have to do it again though.

Super easy then super thin and sharp. More exposed belly fear at the top.

draws up for Rumi

this is only good if its not in the sun! in the sun its greasy impossible holds, in the shade - or when the sun goes down - its a delicate crimp fest.

Scary to 2nd bolt.

Repeat. Scott hadn't done it. Extra bolt in it now takes all the fear away..... Or does it???

Committing! Awesome and slightly scary all the way. Really good.

Scary hard at the start, really nice for the rest.

Good. Crimpy and a bit exciting.

repeat

repeat

horrible. hard for the grade and a real knee scraper.

Crumbly broccoli up top which did make me fear for my exposed belly. Otherwise an ok climb. Jammed between 2 other climbs which you share the holds.

good fun

fantastic! jug hauling crack and laybacking fun. just as the sun was setting

repeat

Post flight warm up. Pretty hot and severely jet lagged and also scored the swollen feet from the winter to summer transition.

Super easy with one or 2 tricky moves.

Nothing amazing but not bad. Bit tricky at the top for the grade. Non QuickClips anchors.

Found a yellow scorpion 5cm from my foot while belaying Scott.... Luckily I kept my trail shoes on!

Became windy as we hit the second pitch. Swung leads so I got this one. Pretty good but there are a few big loose blocks about still. A little run out if you are at the grade. Ended up lowering into le coeur des armeos cave to get out as the wind would have wrapped our rope around numerous blocks otherwise.

Loved it. Bit of crack climbing, bit of crimpy goodness. Harder than the 6b+'s at this crag though. You need an 80m rope!!

interesting moves on sharp rock. watch those knees!

Pockety goodness.

Occasionally not sure of what climb I was on as three converges but otherwise good.

still a bit crumbly. good practice for perfect feet while wearing short shorts... no knee scrapes here... a lot of feet broke off though, made it rather exciting!

Fun with a few tricky spots.

repeat. this climb is actually not that good. I forgot...
