High first clip. Exposed second but slope makes it ok. Steep moves to third but sunshine on the rock warms shoe rubber to grip on those crystals.

did it in one long rope strecther pitch. Runout on arete!

for some reason i am quite incapable of recalling this climb even hours after i did it. im sure it was good they all are.

has approx 10 bolts now. and i hung on many of them. great slabbing. still can pop the #3 cam in the volcano spot if you want but not essential

First pitch not great but the second is long and sustained

Amazing climbing! Footholds seem almost non existent however it goes. In shade after 3ish. The small pocket takes a medium sized nut although you can reach up to the rustic bolt from that position.

One foot slipped on a tiny foothold. I could feel it, I knew that was coming, I had a good 3 seconds to enjoy knowing I'd fall. Amazing slab aside from this. I guess the description of the climb could be updated as sport with the carrots.

Went through the obvious chimney for the second pitch. It was pretty physical but extremely fun. Bring large cams for the protection (at least a number 5 and a 4). There is an anchor after topping out on the left

Fantastic slabbing. No trad gear required. Favourite climb of the day.

Wasn't quite sure where the start was but picked the cleaniest crack+slab line that'd get us up to a DBB just right of a gorgeous slabby arete which I assumed was P2. Great slabbing on P2, all FHs but bring 2 plates for top.

Real good slabbing

Done as a long single pitch. Awesome line 👌

Just brilliant. Incredibly aesthetic line, sustained and typically run out.

Sensational climb! Great moves on a beautiful line.

Lovely - take cams. A little soft?

Very full-on. Lead both pitches. P1 Trad P2 Bolts. Run out even for Tarana.

lovely balancy moves, sustained, well bolted

First pitch is ordinary, but second pitch is frigging AWESOME! So glad I got to take that lead! Amazingly runout with some pretty manky carrot bolts to take epic falls on, but the climbing itself isn't TOO hard.Committing, airy, scary, and a bit dangerous... But outweighed by the funky climbing and position.

Onsight but for the first moves.The log you used to use has broken, so now any ascent is literally off the ground. Nails start to high first bolt with cruxy moves and worrisome groundfall potential. Then nails sequence to high second bolt where any fall will also be a messy groundfall. After that you've mostly safe, though the climbing remains really tough, somewhat wandery, and scary. As per below, there are NO rap anchors. We made up a route to escape this climb. Masochistically great climb!

End of the day, too tired to make it up LBM or SDOTT after retreat from Moscow? Why not just traverse halfway around googleplex to the more pleasant Field Commander Jagusch and finish up it. Quite technical safe-ish climbing on minimal trad gear, and a pleasant end to the day. The simplest solution would have been to just sack up and go up LBM/SDOTT.

Delicate through the bulge.

Went left when I should have gone right.

Seconded 5 or 6 years ago. The advertised rap anchors do not exist

Felt exactly as described, still not 100% if this was the route or not, done alot of cleaning on the second pitch, glad I hauled up the number 4 and 5 cam
