Why is Odin not that popular?? Cracks here are all time!
Forgot boltplates so used nuts on all the carrots. |
||||||
19 | ★★★ Joe Blake | 60m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Beautiful crack ranging from perfect hands, to tight hands, to fingers. Consistently 1s for a fair portion. Felt hard for 19.
Top pitch has a fairly hard undercut start to get established in the corner then east ground with barely any gear until the top out. Probably not 18 and probably only 15m. Next time I would rap from P1. |

So so good! Definitely an alpine outing with a decently snow covered scree approach and bombs coming down once the sun was up.
Approached staying high, exited down to the bottom of the valley then back up to the saddle due to rockfall. P2 very pumpy 10c, P3 one move of hard 10c but otherwise easy. P4 is absolute money on great edges, felt like easy 10c if you can find all the holds. |

Fantastic day out. One of the rare Blueys multis that really give you the feeling of being on a big face.
The 23 pitches are hard, the rest is probably a tough soft except for the moves off the belays. Highlight was watching Raph yard on micro edges to get through the P4 reachiness. 5hrs car to car with about 30min basking in the sun at the top. |
