Another crack at TRS, this time on something harder. Figuring out some efficiencies in my setup & getting more confident.
As for the route, found it absolutely nails. The layback crux was brutal, and I think even without midday sun and shit condies I’d have had a nightmare on it. Ended up aiding through it, couldn’t get any purchase at all on the slick rock w my dirty shoes. |

Got it! Man that crux move (at the bolt) is tough. And I have no idea how you'd do it if you weren't 6 foot tall. Then finishing up the mini buttress is really desperate too, with one particularity sharp crimp. It'd be worth an extra star if it wasn't such painful desperation. Maybe when I'm stronger!

Not sure what category of climb to grade this as. I climbed it TRS to suss it out as a high-ish boulder, as all the hard moves are below 4-5m. The anchors are solid though so you might as well use them, although rope drag could be an issue.
Probably a V4ish reachy crux with a great undercling-kneebar on the rooflet and a committing high left heel hook to big reach for a jug. Maybe 18-19??? |

I climbed this a lot more direct than the topo shows. Dam hard at 23, but that could be because of the way I did it (except the top move is likely the crux) - need a rebolt. Bottom bolt ok, top one = rusty pox.

But then fumbled it on my last attempt(just forgot the sequence).
In saying that the second half of the runout I've got every time I've tried it so that should be sweet as long as I'm fresh.

Beautiful line with good gear, facing a potential deck if you bugger up the last moves of the run out. Belayer should be ready to jump off ledge to take in slack.
Its a bit of a mission to pre rig a fixed line to rope solo on, big S bend and overhung. Maybe one more session then I'll hopefully be ready for a lead. |
