Ascents of Where Angels Fear To Tread by Alexei Drummond

Putting up the gear for Alex. Took a rest after clipping 4th bolt.

Repeat. Full red point. Put up the gear for Alex and managed to do this one clean again Feels so good to have the top moves really dialled in. I still managed to slightly botch the boulder sequence and I got a little pumped at the end, but nice to repeat it. Makes it feel real.

Putting the gear up. Climbed beyond the third bolt cleanly but still hadn't worked out the beta to clip the fourth bolt. After a take I found a nice sidepull for the right hand and worked out the left hand and feet to go to the far right edge for 4th bolt clipping position. I was trying to conserve energy so I grabbed the fifth draw after I put it in, hence this is not logged as a hangdog.

Red point! Second go of the second trip. Sixth go overall. I had a long rest after putting in the draws during the check out, had some food and water and thought about the new beta I had learnt. This time I was only trying to get a high point (i.e. clip the fourth bolt cleanly) so I hadn't set up the camera. But everything came together beautifully and it went down really smooth and clean! So stoked!

First attempt of the day. Third attempt overall. Went for the intermediate crimp rail without the toe hook. Whoops.

High point clean. Climbed to below fourth draw clean. Took a rest then clipped 4th. Took a rest. Then up to 5th and anchors. Did all the moves on lead. Happy with that for my fourth attempt.

Second attempt. High point. Climbed to one move from 4th bolt clipping stance. Hand above 4th bolt when I fell. Really happy to get through the crux between 1st and second bolt on my second attempt!! But then pumped so grabbed a draw to get to anchors to clean

First attempt. Couldn’t do the moves through to second bolt. Climbed bolt to bolt after that. Calling this working since I didn’t climb section between 1st and second bolt.
