Ascents as Attempt as trad by Harrie Van de Linde

wasnt going to get on this one but Dyl convinced me with his pshyc to climb hard!! think this deserves more than one star even though I didnt finish it. great moves up through the roof up to the dyno. tried the dyno a few times and was close but didnt land it, then bailed off bolt. headwall above prob gives this climb the grade, looks techy AF. ill come back another time.

1 cam is definitely necessary, but could be changed to a sport climb.

whoever graded this either has very small hands or doesn't know what 17 cracks should be, maybe it's just old-school 17 idk. It's mainly green size (which is too small) and pretty steep and it was getting late, so only got 3m up and decided to down lead the crack. also the walk-in and belays had snow so fingers were freezing.

ill come back in summer again and try these then.

my goodness, this is pretty cool but i just dont like going above an umbrellaed #6 cam, for 3m or so. with a bigbro or something id have a bit more confidence to give it a proper shot.

Oooofff this is damn hard, need a bit of head game for these bold slaby face runouts. But I downclimbed, so I’ll come back for a flash eventually

Couldn’t find the hidden hold🙁 but finished on top rope.

Awesome route that stands as a test piece in the centre face of the south gorge. but unfortunately you get a false sense of confidence with the great jams turning to steep #4 offwidth. i did try some new stacking techniques but it's above me now unfortunately.

I WAS DEFEATED!!! what a great climb though, I just couldn't go up through the second mantle, had to leave a draw. nice strong moves up the top half.

Very hard start. Didn’t want to waste time on a shit climb

Too small, fell on first nut then gave up.

Sad days, average holds
