Ascents of WAY RAMBO

Managed it second shot, soft for 5.12 but wicked climb!

Probably should've done this thing but peeled off the final traverse

Took a few tries to piece together a sequence for the top. This is the closest thing I could compare to a blueys 25. Really sporty moves on a zigzagging and slightly offset crack leads traverses into tight hands and then balance and pump management right underneath the ringlock crux. Here I found a face sequence that seemed quite obscure and hard to remember at first but ended working well. Dart out left on the final crimp horizontal and huck for glory with some sweet creek smears. This doesn't feel much like a pure crack line, but as a route that takes gear only I think it's pretty special.

3 or 4 takes. Much better than the first time!

Whoa. What a line! Also, ringlocks are hard. Pulled through a lot of moves but made it to the chains.

No send, two attempts to dial in the crux ringlocks. Will have to come back to it someday.

Good route, with crux at the top, had good go on my onsite shot, but blew the last move, will go next shot

Nice wavy hand crack thinning to Hard finger stack finish.

a Must climb
