Ascents of Kubanka

Stoked! Lock off was higher than I thought. Poked at the crux three times before I finally committed.

Pretty fun 3D crux sequence, quite hard to read initially. 2nd go

Pretty good route that I doubt gets much action, potentially as putting the third draw on can be a bit intimidating. Some great moves through the crux section. A fair bit of loose rock so belayer beware.

I really enjoyed this one. Deserves more attention

Tough crux moves, but super cool

My most desperate and the ugliest tick ever. Got on the rock just after is was pissing down with rain for 20 min. I got through the crux and then tried to do next move around 5 times almost coming off - the holds were damp and there was no friction at all. Gosh, I'm glad it's done

Crux at 3rd had me stumped

Feeling ok now.

Phew some scary moments on this one, good rests though and interesting climbing through the 3rd and 4th!

Awesome pumpy bouldery start out of cave. Made it to the third bolt but wasn’t confident committing to the 4th out on the roof as there was a lot of loose flakey holds. Deffinatly needs a good clean up but should be a quality climb.

Can get ground to bolt 3. Then bolt 4 to chains. Haven’t figured out the crux from bolt 3 to 4. Was pretty wet and slimey today but I’m thinking it’s some jamming and knee bar to gain a big sloppy side pull. Keen to work for the send.

What a cool climb. First go after pre placing draws for the second assent. The link from Any Colour You Like in to The Hat is the business. Commiting move to gain the sloppy side pull after the 3rd draw but relief with a really good knee bar to clip the 4th. Can be a bit grimey through the crux but well worth the pre cleanup and brush down. Should get better with more trafic. Will definitely return to it.

2nd lap

A bit scary but happy to get it second go!
