Ascents of Blonde

Beautiful technical climbing on pockets and crimps. Favourite climb of this style!! Mega

First 2 bolts

My very first 7c outside of switzerland. So happy about that my style, small holds and very technical in slightly overhanging wall. 4 goes in two sessions.

Hard. Sun + no wind.

Seemed doable.... But apparently not after 8days on.

Sick biscuits, second shot today... Took a bit of a whip from the end of the crux first shot, solid the whole way on the send. I can't see how this used to be 8a, unless your short.

Did all the moves this arvo and am looking forward to a bit of project time on this one. Sweet line of pockets and small crimps up the middle of this Stella wall. The three finger split pocket at the crux is tricky to get just right. Stay tuned!!

Kent convinced me to keep climbing up this extension just before the rain started. Sweet reachy pocket moves for as far as I got. I will be back to try the whole route soon when it's not raining...
