Ascents in Yamanashi as various tick types by James Frith

FFA.

Fantastic Slab route, the moves are tenuous and feels run out which adds to the excitement. The 2 finger pocket hold that you need to pull on with all your remaining strength in order to create enough friction for to smear and stand up for the anchor caps of a great route.

This is the way this line should always be finished. A superb route

Nice moves and great location. Just enough good holds to keep the grade at 5.9. any less and this would definitely be a 5.10a/b route

Work out all the moves. Now I just have to link it on lead

Great climb overhanging Finger and thin hands for the first half then slowly widening to hand and fist size crack.

Red Point try successful. This now ticks off Pitch 1 of Hara Lara.

Easy second pitch finish for "Original". Pitch 2 is a lazy afternoon type of climb. No stress just good protection and a nice amble to the anchors.

Fantastic example of off-width technique

One of the best and most sustained and continuous crack routes that I have ever done. This is a real classic.

This is my first true 5.12a clean ascent. I climbed this route twice in the same day to make myself sure that the first effort was not just a one-off. Clean ascent both times. Yeah!!

My second ascent of a 5.12a route, 1 hour after the first ascent.

Would be better once the lower section is cleaned. Some very lose rock for the first 1/3rd of climb.

Would be a great route if we took the time to give this route a good clean. There are some interesting moves on the route and could be more popular if this area saw more traffic.

Foot slipped out on the first try . This wasn't surprising because the route had only seen less then 5 ascents in the last 4 years and so was very slippery and dirty. We did a bit of a clean and then got it the next try.

Off Width. The is route is one of the gate keepers that is a must do before you can venture into the world of OW. A real test piece for the grade.

This was my first Multi-pitch rope solo. The total round trip took 12 hours.

Very thin and technical boulder moves to reach a good stance parallel with the second bolt. The location of the second bolt loos wrong but you will find that it is located at the perfect location to prevent a ground fall. This is a very committing climb.

Nice sequence of powerful boulder moves to obtain the first three bolts. After this it is huge jugs all the way to the top. Nice fun climb worth a repeat.

Succeeded on my 2nd try. This is a classic climb that should be more popular.

Great climbing, slightly overhanging to begin with some interesting moves of the ground to a massive handle like jug. From here go up and traverse left under the overhang and then blast straight up the hand to fist size crack above. This is a great line and should be more popular.

Got it on my second try

This line would be much better if it was cleaned a bit. The scale and dirt on the route takes the edge of what could be a great slab route. If you don't like slabs stay away from this route. Pitch two of the climb feels much harder then 5.11c.

Only climbed the first 3 pitches.

Climbed the 1st Pitch of Pegasus. Next time I will have to try the Onsight for Pitch 2
