26 | ★★ Raisin' Hell — 2 attempts - with Irene | 8m, 4 | ★★ Very Good | ||||
Definitely, the hardest piece of climbing I’ve done to date. Some progress 1 year after the first session. The last clip is now doable. The move to the last mono before the anchors is no longer impossible but still very difficult. The only move not done yet is to reach the two-finger pockets before the second draw. Skin goes quickly on this one

Would not recommend unless you can manage super rope management and a good few potential ground falls while getting the rope where you want it..

This was the worst route I have climbed in just over ten years. Let me list the ways it sucked:
-the bolts alternate between under the roof and the wall above it, so as to maximize rope drag -the bolts are well below where you actually climb. You have to lower yourself purely to clip -many of the holds are soft and break -to get to the anchors you have to top out and then downclimb? -the rope drag is atrocious -one bolt is on the inside of a stalactite. You climb past the other side??? You have to pull out a huge amount of slack and lower the rope under the stalactite as you go. -to top it all off WE COULDN'T LOWER THE CLIMBER FROM THE ANCHORS.the rope drag was enough to hold the belayer off the ground. Guide for climbing this: -long draws for every clip. No, longer than you're imagining. Nope, still longer. Take runners. -belayer has to be on point, so you don't hit the ground due to long draws -take an equalette so you have an anchor you can actually lower off -Don't |
