15 | ★★ Carousel - with James Waugh | 50m | ★★ Very Good | ||||
I expected way more from this climb, but I think I just didn't find the route well, started on the wrong ledge (still not sure about this), traversed to the other route on the right, and then back to Carousel, climbed half way between them a lot of the time as well... The idea was going for the lead (since I had already top roped this in another trip, even at night!), but since I felt so lost this time, I also self belayed on the static as a back up cause I didn't find enough pro (clearly being off route). So it was basically a mild epic Next time I'll try to find the dignity I left at the bottom of that wall...
