Ascents of Jets Over Jordan by Paul Frothy Thomson

With Gene. Both pitches went first shot today after I scrubbed about 1kg of lichen and dirt of the crucial holds with a wire brush. Made for a brutal warm up, but was excellent climbing the whole way. The first 10m of P1 is still intense! Get on it while its clean!

With Gene. COULD be a classic if it werent covered in dirt and lichen. The most sustained pure arete I've done in the Blueys. Lead both pitches and dogged both, struggling with one move on each (knowing the sequence and cleaning the holds mean it should go next time. P1 is 23 in the same way On Edge is 22. Hard first 10m, then sustained 21 to the belay. Bring #3 and/or #5 cam for the death runout. P2 has a hard, scary section during the traverse and immediately after, but is otherwise great fun.
