Ascensioni di Gift of the Gab

fugging 'ard! Got up to the 2nd sloper up the arete, then could not work out the beta, I knew where my right foot had to go but goddamn I just couldnt hold the swing, def missing something

This is my nemesis.

A few rushed goes. First move still proves hard to me.

Enjoyable line. Very tense.

First move... grrr. But from there feeling dialed. Try it again not in middle of the day.

Always walked past it but today had a few cracks and it goes! Very interesting movement

Got a little closer this time but still no send.

V4-5 finishing on the RH side. Took me a long time figuring out the beta to squeeze off those low side-pulls. Humped the arete for finesse.

Found easier beta than the heinous compression oliver did. Feels more like V6 tbh but it's also very much my style. Night temps definitely helped, although the lack of light is not very helpful when it seems like there are several paths back...

Could reach the sloper, but couldn't hold it and catch the second for the life of me. Confusing, but really cool movements.

Quick 5 min burn. Worked out how to get my arse off the ground, and reach the slopers. I think it's gonna be awesome fun figuring out the next sequence

Worked this to vary degrees. Will take many more attempts to send. Definitely not a style I'm used to. [5]

Not sure on the date but sometime last year. Such a great problem considering its finish is no taller than me when standing :p

2nd asc back in the day
