Ascents in Schnecke having Beta

Unusual problems, feels like a ceiling route. The spiral tufa is lovely from below.

Some cool moves!! Fun sequences, nothing crazy hard but it builds. Definitely contrived though which is a shame

All the holds are worse than the look.

Hard move between the first and the second bolt.

Not the best warm up. Hard crimpy start

Classic 6b+ Thakhek sand bag. Bit blind climbing through the crux, didn’t enjoy.

2nd go

#2ndGo Almost fall at final cross move to the white tufa.

First day, feels hard, how to tufa?

Pumpy, interesting start with chimney. Cool!

Had to do the boulder start because I wasn't tall enough to start on the left pinch. Featurey afterwards, requiring a bit of interesting beta but worked through before heading towards the middle. A little pumpy before the finish, but manageable. Try to avoid the heat for a better cruise

Dang - pulled poorly, and missed good hands before anchors! Otherwise, cool chimney start before fairly good middle. Pumpy overhung finish, taxing. Need to trust the holds and search better before commiting to low percentage moves

Bit contrived, but a rad sequence when you force it right. 2nd go

Tough start for me

Hard start and a tricky move higher up.

Cool moves.

Thin and hard at the crux then some muscles needed to get through the roof.

clean on 2nd. some parts are abit sharp.

Beware of the thorny branches and red ants near the top.

Somewhat contrived but good 👍

Sharp

Climbed in the dark with a headtorch, collecting a friends draws.

better to traverse to "Breakfast same same" when cleaning the route

I went left of the bolt, (face climb) did not use tufa on the right

Nice move at the crux, find knee bar with is help a lot

#2go hard start, difficult to find beta

Nice and tricky at crux

Nice route with good rest area

23/7/2020 for warm up

scary roof. Not sure if my technique is good enough for this climb. May not come back for it. Or maybe I’ll come back for it....

I sent it. Knowing the beta makes it much less scary. So my fear was about the unknown. I knew I was panicking in that cave in the beginning of the crux, so I took my time to rest there before climbing forward. Nice hand jugs all the way through the crux. Happy that I sent it on the second go! Ian was my belayer.

I found this route very scary; the start was tricky for me, the middle part was ok, the overhanging part right before the ledge where the anchor is at was so scary. Keep cool and calm when you are at the crux - there are good jugs all the way up, trust your feet and trust that the nice hand jugs are coming!

It’s interesting how scared I was on this climb. I was in total panic state - I was over gripping and my heart beat was sky high, super sweaty... in the end I let go of my hands and took a fall. Good place to fall, the fall was not scary. After rest on the rope I climbed over the overhanging part and got on the ledge.

I thought this climb is hard for the grade. Damien was my belayer.

Wow super nice actually! Great moves on jugs. Sweet start on nice rock.

"Warmed up" for Kiss off and very nearly fell!! Hard sequence below the tufa. Maybe easier if u go right but for sure 6c if u go straight up!

8th try with 2 working goes. First in this grade!! Unexpected send as my skin was shit and i was in 2nd day of climbing + sun was creeping on the crux. I kept getting highpoints tho so motivation was high. Perfect for my style! 4 boulder problems, progressively harder and the rest between them progressively worse. Still the rests are very very good i saw ppl climbed on top of the tufa - come on this is not the line at all! The upper crux goes with drop knees and could be among the most amazing boulders ive ever done - even on the ground!

Super nice! I loved this climb. This climb got me really excited for climbing again.

I saw this climb when hanging out and felt like climbing it. It was such a struggle due to my shitty footwork. But I sent it. I felt strong. Imagine it, Ronja with good footwork.... My climbing would be so much better with good footwork. This route is more overhanging than it looks like. Good hand jugs almost all the way up. Keep your feet high

try this last day before back to BKK., Nice one.

Stretchy :-D
