Ascents in Wawa - Montalban

Do I really have to cut loose?

Lovely flow, but damn that boulder finish

Couldn’t get past the overhang pinch crux with my sore finger skin.. will be back for it!

Lots of monkey pee and poop.. still a good climb though

Such a good climb- pumpy, cool moves, felt harder than a 6A to me

Great warm up climb to a slabby crux right before the anchors

Overhung pinches on tufa with good feet and holds except for a short crux section. Up onto the face for varied and technical slab climbing to challenging anchors.

2nd attempt blew the crux and had to rest. Went a lot better than the flash attempt but the crux not so much.

This is definitely not 5.8/16. Especially without knowing the beta. With the beta it's a 5.10a/18 at least

Fun route, takes a bit of thought to get up

It was a bit wet, climbing straight up the tree roots on wet rock, made this feel a little scary (are the roots going to hold? are my feet going to slip?), but after climbing up the tree roots the climbing gets significantly easier.

A fun squeeze chimney, found it tough and scary exiting out the squeeze near the top.

Thought it wouldn't be too hard, but as usual I was really fighting and wrestling to get up it...

Should have flashed this... one move wonder, lot easier than it looks, I blame the wet and slimy footholds...

Very cool route, felt pretty easy after figuring out the moves

The tufa was wet and slimy/muddy, made it a lot more difficult than when it would be dry...

Beta was narrated while I was climbing like a meditative experience!

Memorable route: Project when I was 1 year into climbing. Sent 1st try post pandemic.
