Ascents in Hyperbole Buttress

Yep, fairly committing move around the lip for the grade

A little steep and a little fun

Had to use the big gear for something, but doesn't actually need anything over #3 cam

Quite pumpy

Thrilling, would do again and try and place a better piece at the crux

quite pumpy

Almost mucked up the sequence out and around.

Half a quality grade better than Hyperbola.

Ran it out 😅

Nice airy moves coming under the roof.

Felt very pumpy on lead.

Good, quite pumpy

Failed - Backed Off

Quite the mini epic. On half ropes, easily up to the corner and roof, clipped the old piton (don't), traversed nervily across to the arete and up the first move of the headwall without further gear before realising I was a bit pumped and a fall would produce a horrendous pendulum smash. Reversed all that back down to the bottom of the corner, out to the arete for (not great) gear with the other rope, back in to the corner and through it all again to pull the headwall easily enough. Phew.

Thoughtful

Spicy

Maybe 23?

Great climbing - a little runout at the top, which is the crux I guess.

Not as good as Hyperbola
