Ascents in Wheatbelt as Pink point

Gear pre-placed by Ashley Felton. 1st pitch - lead 2nd pitch - second 3rd pitch - lead

Again, I feel like some important holds broke here, otherwise the clipping is very committing and it feels hard for the grade. Second best climb here though - thanks Jorge for figuring out the crux!

Knowing the moves makes it all much easier. A heavier belayer helps run it out with less fear, and I still extended (hugely) that draw on the third bolt. This was my favorite climb here by a long shot.

Lots of heel hooks is the secret

Good warmup.

Good. Took a few goes to get past the 2nd bolt.

Could have been an onsight if it wasn't the end of the day and I wasn't smashed. Loved the long moves and the challenging start.

Dogged the onsight, got it second go. Spicy first clip, then beautiful face and arete climbing, then onto some thin slab. Probably soft at the grade, but spectacular all the same.

very cool start

Another trad lead experience, again making shameless use of Kym's gear. Top half: faaaaark, it's pretty thin holds. Better trust your feet and those stopper placements. Felt like a 19 today.

Always a pleasure, climbing someone else's (good) cam placements.

Getting Ashley's gear back.

Awesome climbing. Great moves.

Heady first clip. Hard crux moving weight over the right root.
