Ascents in Philippines as Red point or First free ascent

Still dirty but the line is great, I like it! 👌🏽

First part required some creativity (using the cave), middle part is burly but beautiful, and the top just needed composure.

Helmet recommended.

It was just wet at the top, but otherwise a really nice line. 👌🏽 Was just forced to use a more difficult beta due to the conditions.

Be careful with the first moves. There's an in-cut on the sloper below the first bolt, you can use it for clipping (or just pre-clip the first bolt before climbing).

Watch out for bats by the big tufa towards the top.

Struggled my way up this today, think I had an easier time on my onsight years ago... Fun route

Repeat, felt this climbs diffent now that it has new bolts, I think it was slings last time I did it.

Do I really have to cut loose?

crux is a 3 step sequence to a jug. Good scare after a nice series of holds.

First 5 clips was a cruise until you have to break right into the series of stalactites which is a bit of a scare until you get the hidden jug to mount the last stalactite where one can clip the chains from.

climb through a series of good jugs on tufas and a solid rest before the crux. Crux is more mental than actual hard moves.

pockety feet reliant crux.
