Ascents in North Face

Heady first pitch to a thuggy second pitch. John went first on the second pitch but lowered down, so I took the reigns.

Led only the third crux pitch by using Werk Supp as an approach. Great leaning finger crack.

Another rope solo. Reworked the two cruxes, now only one move is giving me trouble. Doesn't mean it's easy though

Rope soloed this route. So much respect to Brad for soloing this. Managed to get it clean on my third go, although I'll need to work on it more before I can go for the lead.

Three Tries, hardest gear climb, but crux protected by piton.

Followed the first two linked pitches, then onsighted the third. Bailed right due to sore feet and weak minds!

tricky for the grade as with everything else here. got scared and stitched this up - there is decent gear to be found amongst all the rock that seems to want to come off

gear retrieval mission part 2. led p1 only - bulge was very exciting for a 5.8

Ouch. The chockstone holds, but the swing hurts. Done an ankle. Take big gear, the guidebook says gear to 3”, ignore it and take gear to about 12” for at least the first pitch

led p1 and p3. slick and overcrowded, but some good bits. second sat on most pitches to (attempt to) retrieve booty

Collected a bunch of gear, turned a hour or so sojourn into about 4, but added a new .5c4, a tricam, and a new nut tool.

Tip: Don't rack up at the car, or 2 Australians will beat you to the start of the route

Tough move you can easily stuff up

3rd crux pitch only. Found it hard

Led pitch one, second the wide flaring crack pitch 2, it wasn't as bad as it looked.

Awesome climb. excellent 5.7!

A classic, fun
