Ascents as sport by Mathew Hutchins-Read having Distinct route

Led P2, P4

Crux getting off the ground. Much easier after the first bolt.

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.

Definitely no harder than 20

Nice tech slab

Stiff for a warmup.

First section is great, the rest is just ok. Careful of the big overhanging flake at the end, sounds like it’ll go soon.

Felt soft for the grade starting right. Jugs all the way.

Nice jamming.

Got lost trying to do Tension Pneumothorax. Not a bay route but a faff stick clipping if you don’t have a long stick.

One move at about 20, the rest is more like 14.

There is a family of owls living in the crack about halfway up. Maybe give this one a miss.

Very worthwhile doing the harder variant. Beautiful slabbing with a few holds on thenarete for good measure

Amazing climb! Pitch two is the money pitch. Done in a group of three, managed to rap done in one pitch with two 60m ropes. So good!

Would get a Mega Classic I it was longer.

Is this Murmel Snooze in the 2010 guide?

Good overhanging arete

Just the second pitch

I guess I didn't tick this last time... Pretty interesting moves.

Still awesome. Not a fan of doing the last three pitches in two as the description suggests. Drag was pretty bad at the top.

Beautiful climbing, done in a single pitch.

Foot slipped while I was sidepulling...

Fell just before the final mantle. Quite an adventure for a sport route!

Sport.
