Begehungen von Asimov

First pitch grade 16, second pitch 18. Two varied pitches of interesting climbing. Definitely classic and so much fun. Done under a full moon.

First pitch only.

Excellent, aside from a little plant growth in the first half of P1. P2 is harder than P1, and maybe a little sandbagged, with tricky moves through the square, hanging chimney at the start, and then thrutchy moves and jamming up the V-chimney over the ledge after that. Adequately protected with doubles of cams up to DB #2, but a #4 might make the final moves more comfortable. Led P2.

Nice 1st pitch if you stop at the goldfinger chains you'll miss the nice taipanesk scoops. We skipped the last pitch and escaped on the right.

Nice layback up the crack, just seconded the first pitch.

Only P1 to finish the day.

Excellent gear and lots of rests. Just what I needed!

I want to lead...

Awesome!

Another great climb

Only did pitch 1

Only first pitch and abseiled off the Goldfinger Chains

Got the first pitch clean, but abseiled off given the horror stories we'd been told about the second.

Cool
