18 6a | ★★ Main Wall Bolted 1 | 22m, 10 | El Chalten | ★★★ Classic | Thu 15th Dec 2016 | |||
Excellent. Balancey slab to start, then steep jugs high up. A proper onsight (well, at least a proper sport onsight?)... found the bolts while going for a walk during a bad weather day, straight back to the hostel to get our gear and up we went.

Really good climbing. Made me forget all those beautiful mountains behind me, which is the reason we're here. When's the next weather window?

Really enjoyed this. Had a couple of "stop & think" moments at the final test at the scoop before the anchors

Testing side clings for first 2 bolts, then easy up. Awkward to clean again as it wanders so far across at the top.

Cold windy day, climbed in gore-tex and beanie. Had 2 builders at Koonek Hostel watching us.

Rain was blowing-in from the north, moved quick to finish the climb so we could scamper the ~100m back to our hostel ;o)

I used the big flake thing, but Mel said that was cheating, oops, just like the rules at St Leonards gym ;o) I liked this climb.

A couple of bizarre bolt placements at thigh height on ledges - although maybe this climb is for 5 year olds? Well... it was really windy and I had to cling to the cliff like a small child who didn't want to go to school...

Really awkward to clean, should've thought about that and had the second top-rope. We cleaned using a tension abseil, could've lowered the second but was concerned about the rope grating on several edges.

Easy, nice 2m of side clings past 2nd bolt, but rest was forgettable. Pointless 1st bolt, should've been 1m lower to protect scramble, not at knee height on ledge.

Bizarre, 2 anchors at the top. Even more bizarre, I walked-off left so didn't use either!
