Juuuust missed the onsight on this, breeze second go.

Super fun and crazy long!

Slipperrrry

Climbs better than it looks.

Punted at the chains (yet again).

To me, the route is 22ish right up till the end and then the crack kicks into an almost horizontal off-width/stemming problem. Felt on par with some 24/25 (7a+/7b) roof cracks I’ve done in Aus.

Who knows, grades are all just made up anyway! 🤷‍♂️

PS: One of the crux bolts needs a hanger but you can easily skip it. Just a heads up.

Such a hard Boulder sequence at the top 😱

Holy heckin moly, this could be my favourite climb ever. Every aspect of this climb was amazing. I couldn’t recommend it enough!

Juggy stalactite roof traverse. Very cool! But not really any hard moves and plenty of good rests.

Such a cool route!

Awesome climb with a punchy last move

A big fight!

Fairly easy with all the rests

Awesome climb

I felt like I tried just as hard on this as I did for Morgan

Soooo good! Adds to the value that it ends with a funky mantle.

Hard boulder problem after all the jugs of the first pitch. Cool moves and a fun and engaging runout.

Never have I climbed a route with so many stalactites! So cool!

Beautiful techy route

Cleaning the draws off

Poor climbing into a really cool sequence

Sharp, I found it quite a bit harder than happy boyfriend and less fun

Fantastic, riding the giant dong was a hoot

What a journey, probably my fav climb of the trip. Pumpy questing through steep stalactites and tufas, crawling in the hole for a hands free rest was a highlight!

Took off my shoes and had a nap in the hole.

Soapy on the verge of Slimy, makes it much harder.

8a.nu gives this consensus 7b which is hilarious. There are so many rests! It’s a solid letter grade easier than Armata but if you have bad technique this is gonna eat you for lunch especially on the slopers part. Really cool line.

Yikes that was a hard warmup. Committing crux moves with polished as fuck feet. Soooo manky. More like 6c by Kalymnos standards

Mega!! Had zero motivation to do this line with end-of-day tiredness but somehow pulled it out of my ass and flashed 😂 Falling and boinking was more work than climbing I guess 😜

Extremely polished

Scharf

Easy climbing until the last bolt. No carabiners at the anchor, bring your own gear to clean.

Just barely kept it together through the cruxes. Pads on both legs and used the left one a lot on the big tufa in the middle. Amazing route, but summer is probably not the best time for it. The rock was still really hot at 15:00 because it is so far right.

repeat

Made it harder than it needed to be

2nd go. Felt fairly straightforward once I knew where the holds were.

Couldn't figure out the first boulder. Hard!

Fun sequences broken up by no hands rests

crux à la fin

Nice easy slab, then a bit reachy ~9 move font ~6C+ boulder sequence to clip anchor.

Cool moves. Yr very sharp.

The boltplate at the crux is missing....

Good mix of pockets, pinches and flakes.

Nice variety of climbing on this. Hard getting off the ground and a tricky Redpoint crux at the end
