Begehungen von The Gift haben Beta

Got properly bamboozled at the top. Ended up bailing haha

Made it up to the crux move in the second try (the part up to the crux is around 5.12a maybe), but I climbed too inefficiently. Received good beta from another climber, and I might try the route again if we get back.

2nd go. So the crux beta that for me was high feet, right hand to the TINY gaston, left hand to a tiny sloppy crimp, deep breath & long right hand reach to a good hold. The sequence was crazy.

Did two attempts. Have to manage to get to the crux less pumped to be able to do it.

Went down fast, both in number of tries and speed of climbing. Grades easier than The Glitch for me.

Finally most notorious one hang in Red Rock sent. Power endurance nightmare. Starts with a chill 12a to get the pump going and punches you in the face with a V5 boulder problem to top it out.

10 year project. Felt like 13c. The Gift was like: via GIPHY I was like:

one of my proudest climbs

Omg so sickkk! Power endurance crimp fest... Can't wait to get back on it!
