Begehungen in Stalbata

Love and Thunder baby! Waited out a massive lightning storm for 2 hours underneath the route in hopes for a safe 20-minute sending window. Manky as hell from the rain AND it was getting dark, but somehow managed to pull the send out of my ass. 1st try after hanging draws yesterday.

Had to hang at the crux to figure it out. I can’t tell if the giant flake ripped off before, or after it was FA’d. If it broke after then it makes sense why the crux is harder than 6b.

Once my partner and I both pulled the moves we agreed the crux felt 6c+ but the rest of the climb was quite a bit easier, apart from the final move that demands some power and commitment. 6c/+ but kind of short-lived difficulty compared to the left route.

This thing looks like ass so I TR’d for a secondary warmup but man what a cool line. There’s no move on it as hard as Ita’s crux imho but it’s way more consistently on you with multiple cruxes and reachy sections. Don’t pass on this one! Very well-bolted.

Felt about 5.8. Cruisey technical warmup that makes you use your feet. Not bad at all!

Amazing and really fun climbing with great holds the entire way. At the start use a cheater stack to get the first hold in the crack. Otherwise it’s quite a bit harder.

Very hard compared to the left variation. The crux where the route splits feels more 7a. Then another pumpy bit up higher. TR’d this as a secondary warmup. Glad I didn’t lead it, the runout after the main crux is a little ridiculous.

Super good route.

That was fun
