Ascents in Hyperbole Buttress as Onsight

spooky and committing! but with the most glorious of victory jugs!

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.

Spicy

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

Ran it out 😅

Interesting and worthwhile climb. Really delicate traverse under the roof and then a few commiting moves to finish

Maybe 23?

Yep, fairly committing move around the lip for the grade

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

Felt very pumpy on lead.

quite pumpy

Good fun.

Done with Justin K and Col Reece early on.
