Ascensiones en The Ramparts

Good climbing and well protected but sandbagged with moves well exceeding the listed grade.

Led pitches 1, 3 and 4.

Went for the direct start (15) in guidebook with an awkward move to get off the ground. Great climb! 4th/5th pitch was worthwhile, with easy scramble down to rap chains at the top of the buttress to the right. Double rap (50m + 50m).

Fun last pitch in the dark!

I was sooo scared 😱!!! Took me 3 goes to get into the run out section, on my 3rd go I finally pulled off the move to gain the run out and onsighted to the top!!!!

Been saving this for a while, glad i stuck the onsight! Certainly felt endless hahaha, thought the original 24 felt pretty right, mega regardless!

The 16 part of the arete is so fun its worth the sandy hard start. Misread and pumped off the 22 traverse pitch at the end, which is insane and committing climbing! Whole wall could use some rebolting tho...

Holy shit this felt hard. So glad Justin led this and I had the opportunity to second, but I can't imagine getting good enough to lead it. Did all moves clean, but needed a rest after the traverse and before the techy crux on the slab. Pretty runout and dangerous if you're not super solid. There are some serious no fall sections on this.

what an amazing route, the moves are awesome and the gear is adequate. but the climbing is hard for 23 in my opinion

All pitches onsighted by the leaders, but only Justin did the crux clean, and Will and I had sits on 2nd. That's a really hard crux for 21 BTW! Cool classy route.

had to solo up to get a stuck rope, was a fun climb would reccomend.

cool line with lots of traversing under roofs. the crux is a very short 2 move wonder (which could be easily aided) hard move for 21 I thought

very fun climb with a short crux at the top.

Absolutely crazy climbing, this and Durban are the main goals for next trip

An absolute must do. Will be back to lead this next time

Amazing climb. Very stoked to get this one. 24 in the book and thought this was my first 24 send on gear at the time so sticking with that hehehe

Left a couple of bits of gear in the easy climbing in the crack before joining the route proper from the previous attempt

Led pitches 1 & 4

Tough moves in places well exceeding grade 13. Led pitch 2 and 3

Struggles psychologically on the first pitch with fear, but did it clean. I could never haved lead the second pitch, Nik did a fantastic job! The chimney was very enjoyable.
