Ascents in Alabalık as Onsight

Juggy.

I was too exhausted to even try the second pitch, but it looks nice!

unclip all the 6b bolts till you get a straight line if you want to do the 6c, if not there will be a lot of rope drag, I skip the first 4 bolts and there was still quite a bit of rope drag after the roof on the 6c part. The crux is just right out of the 6b on the overhang where you have to do some tensiony moves on 2 average holds before you top out, the first bolt you clip after the 6b anchor is also the last, if is possible unclip the quickdraw on the anchor of the 6b as well, its kinda run out towards the end but the top is nice enough that its alright to the anchors.

The extension with ropedrag and just one QD made this a scary fish

Cool climb and sequence, a bit contrived as it share some holds with the two neighbours but regardless still a fun line.

Nice one. Very soft.

One of the best. Jug jug jug

Endurance

Super cool. Top was too wet to complete but it gets juggy, just too slippery to hold.

Hero rooflet

hard move jug hard move jug hard move jug hard move jug, the constant battle with loads of rest inbetween

Endurance

Wicked long ramble up a steep juggy wall of massive chockstones and pebbles all cemented together in the limestone matrix that is alabalik. 25m's of fun.

A long traverse through a black cave drippy in all types of holds, back climbed to clean. Great start boulder problem.

One of the best here i reckon at this grade, a very varied route

warm up bit tricky traverse, mostly perma draws but unclip some as you go for better rope drag management

Cool and techy for grade. Pretty long for the routes here.

‘Fun’ to clean. Smarter to do it seconding. But where’s the fun in that 😝
