Ascents in Gran Boveda as Hang dog

one rest because tired from previous routes

6m of 7c+ over 30 meters of climbing... Found the crux hard to work out until I figured out how to hold one of the holds.

Got the back 3 pocket very badly and couldn't power through it. Higher crux sorted and is now waaay easier.

Wow such an amazing route! Tufa, knee bar, tufa and a cool slab (I hate slabs but not this one) what more could you want... must get back on it! So good...

Wow must of been flash pumped and sweaty

Complete punter. Foot slipped while clipping the post crux draw.

Pumpy climbing with a less than secure finish. Felt strong until I went the wrong way at the roof then got an instant pump. Several sits afterwards.

Warm up.

Easy idle up scoping the moves.

Missed the bump from the heel before the crux. 2 sits to the top.

Did all the moves straight up after someone 'warmed up' on it putting my gear in.

Highpoint. So powerful

Highpoint. Marginally higher. 2 more sits to the top.

Strong burn. 1 hang. From pre crux to anchors. Very encouraging.

Worst. Effort. Ever.

No kneebar pad no send.

Took bat and ball and went home. Dismal attempt

Somehow got to the top. Powerful climbing through a short roof then it just keeps on coming.

Stumped by the top....until I found the obvisious hold.

All moves sorted. The top will be the heart breaker.

All moves sorted. The top will be the heart breaker.

Warm up to halfway.

Foot slipped going to underling first crux. All sorted to to the top. Bomber knee bar before final moves to anchors.

Good flash beta from my friend Matt! Got close to sending it, but without the draws in it felt like much harder...

Fell at slimpers at the top. Good friction required. Or super strong digits. Finally found the path through.

Couldn't clip at gaston. Easily sorted the rest of the moves out.

Fell short of L/H bump in crux. NB: Doing it the same way as everyone else.

Took ages to figure a way to do the crux.

Which didn't work.

Then forgot what to do after.

Tricky crux sorted with a little twist here and there.

Foot slipped in crux.

Close but no cigar. Killer final moves.

Worked the moves!

Fell off near the top, got some new beta so it becomes a higher percentage move..

Fell off on the last move... how heart breaking.. felt so good all the way up... then had an epic cleaning the climb in the dark.. hahaha

Way too hard for me since I am not used to climb overhangs at all But in iso the moves where super nice but linking them was a fight Need to come back WAY stronger for a line like this. In the end super crimpy crux, which is quite mean after the wrestling all the way up.

Just an amazing tufa system! So many knee bars and a spicy moves at the end!

Fell before the crux

Fell before the crux again but sorted this out with a double knee bar rest woo! till next time Sopas De Ajo

Bad idea as a warm up but I had to remember all the moves...

If you want to learn how to place kneebars, this is your line! Kneebaring the first half up and then you enter pretty steep and super pumpy terrain. For me, who is not used to climb steep AND Tufas at all it was more like wrestling But we had so much fun in this line, and definetely learned a lot!

“Which knee-pad do I need?” I ask after watching a smooth send. “Both” was not the answer I wanted since I only own one.

As I’m getting set up, I realize that I actually have none - I left it back in Aus.

Already sandbagging myself, I set off for the flash burn that, despite watching someone else, felt like an onsight.

I’m not sure what I enjoyed the most, but it was a marathon of not finding the holds, spoogy knee-bars, and pumping out.

In the end I punted going to the last bolt - not finding the mega-jug until I was cleaning the route.

This kind of stuff is the reason I came to Spain!

Dropped the on sight after all the hard climbing apparently. Pulled on and went to the anchors. On lowering figured out a direct finish. Very crimp though.
