Ascents in The Lounge

Top Rope attempt. Managed the 1st 4 moves and then bailed.

very long and requires a lot of endurance.

5th try send

Pumpy right from start. Nice but reachy crux around the chopped hold. Not gonna project this one though...

Super fun moves up high

Balance but a bit reachy. so longgg route.

pass the crux, then get in heel hook trap make it too much swing when release, that fall before the anchor. 😆

Just try! But I am not send yet

Second try. Missed a rest between the two cruxes, had to try pretty hard fighting the pump to get to the anchor.

Super nice! Dealt with all two cruxes, working on the link up!

The hardest project what I've ever tried before! Really technical! Superb cruxes! The most precise footwork. It took 20-25 attempts to finally sent it, it is also high point to me because what I projected before took 10-15 attempts (but even that is rare). So happy to send it!

Found my beta for the first crux. Next time send!

Barefoot!

Missed the pocket 🥲

The coolest of climbing. Will stay a favourite of the grade for sure.

Pretty cool movement through the crux. Work the crux sequence through 3 clips, find a really good rest, and power through the huecos.

Normally I would be very happy about sending a 7b like this, but the drilled hold kinda changes it from happy to "meh" for me. It's probably a bit irrational, because that one tiny hold presents such little impact on the rock compared to developing routes and of course climbing itself. From sport climbing perspective it's a pretty good climb, I guess, but I cannot get rid of the bitter aftertaste.

Vertical endurance, not my cup of tea. Anyway, awesome route!

Working on moves

Yay!
