Ascents in 广西 Guangxi by peta barrett

Had to get inventive with the crux as I couldn't hold the usual holds. And then it's just a pump fest!

Wow. A little exciting in the sun. Guidebook says afternoon shade but not in November. Sun tracks the crag all day. Awesome climbing! Nails for the grade.

Another wow! Might be easier to clean on tr in hindsight....

So long but soo good!!

repeat

So close! Got past the crux but was just too hot to climb in the sun...at midday... Not sure what we were thinking! Cool climb though

to clean at the end of the day.

Found the crux really hard first go... And super pumpy all the way. Pretty easy once you have a good sequence.

Felt like I would never be able to hold the crimps but second shot could do all moves, just no gas. Really cool climb.

Thought this would take ages since its taking ages to get over the multiple flus. First shot I could do all the moves but no energy in the tank.

And then I just sent it... In my usual loud style..... At least I was quiet afterwards... As I had lost my voice..... Hehe

Wet licheny tufa and lots of trees in the way but otherwise good.

i think if we had taken a rest day today we would have come back and flashed this. too tired. gave up and went home after this pitiful attempt. its actually not too hard at all but couldn't be bothered to get the send. warm up for another day

not too hard at all.

not too hard at all.

repeat

Warm up with crumbly sandy tufa!

pitch 1. someone had to clean the roof on tr.......me it is

One hard crux move and then super pump!!!

A couple of spicy moves!

(3) spent an age working out the crux. But think I have a workable option....now... To get fit enough to finish it!!

can do the crux move but just get nailed on the top section. Having just had yet another tummy bug probably doesn't help my lack of endurance...

Repeat

3 laps on tr. doable!

3 laps. Clean to the mini crimpi hold twice. Just can't hold the mini crimpy one.

2 more shots to realize this is not going to happen this trip.mini crimper is just too small for my injured finger....this trip.

So good but Soo tired!

Nice and juggy.

Thought we would try it at the end of the day. Very sweet crimpy moves! This is totally possible!

Glad my contact strength is returning as I really didn't want to fall at the crux... And smash on the ledge. otherwise really good climbing!

2 shots and a lot of skin later....

3 shots with a high point of the last draw! One more move!!!

Devastated. Pinged off last crimp on the last move, as my taped fingers were too slippery! Not pumped or tired. Might have to wait til I have skin before I get back in it.

Repeat.

2nd shot. First shot I felt that I could do the moves but would be too weak from a week in bed not eating anything. 2nd shot I realized I had lost enough weight for this to be ok! Got to the top feeling fine!

worked out a super sequence for the last cruxy move.
