Ascensiones de Claw Away

1 lap not clean. Skin gone

fuck I must have been good at crimping back when I did these climbs. though the TRS setup is somewhat distracting.

Found some lost gear please get it touch which what it is so I can return it if you're missing anything

Assuming the arete is in it went second go. Tried to do it without the arete on first attempt. Pretty confusing route, could also go right using the crack? Definitely need your crimp gain on point.

Working moves

Very nice route

I can see how you'd do an undercling move on the face if a bit taller than me, but the left crimp move is also quite hard and very satisfying, I don't think I ever pulled on something that small before!

Am assuming the arete is on near the top. Should have got it second go, held the crux crimp but slipped a foot going for the arete. Third go was a bit tired to do that move to that crimp slowly enough

Another lap because everything else busy.

Hardest warm up. Everything else too busy.

Great climb. Disappointed not to get the final move clean. Next time! Don’t use the arete! I feel like the arete lowers the grade. It’s all there on the face.

Great technical climb

Been projecting this for months - probably since late October/November 2020. Spent all that time trying to figure out the beta at the second ringbolt. Today it all fell into place.

Left hand gets to a thin pinch-crimp; swapped my left foot for my right foot and flagged the left foot put to the arete; got my right hand to a heinously thin ‘Spok Crimp’ and pulled my body into the wall; The left foot goes out to the arete for a toe-hook; keep pulling on spok-crimp and throw the left hand over the arete.

Classic moves. Felt so good to tick this one today. Thanks ChrisO for the belay- you’ve got this one in the bag.

Great second bash at this today, surely we'll crack it next week!

First attempt after a few warm up climbs, seems to be a very rewarding climb once ticked. Keen to project.

Nice to get it done

2 laps

This used to feel impossible, now i'm questioning if the holds are bigger another one to confirm with a partner.

Tried a number of sequences but still haven't get the move, hopefully it will be different when i try in earnest.

Self belay. ok to the second dray then i think its out to the arete through the sharp and small pocket but couldn't get that move.

Fun moves with a doozy undercling. Struggling a bit with the last third of the route.

Couldn't hold the crimp to get to the arrete so ended up stemming in the corner.

Dunno why this doesn't get more stars!
