Ascensions dans Daydreamer

Finally completing this long chapter placing all gear from ground to end. This climb is one of a kind.

Was and epic battle. All trad gear pre-placed. Very, very unique climb. Such an improbable line.

Got advised to upgrade to 24. Although all holds are big, half the gear is tricky and suspicious and this thing is horizontal. Would be three stars at piddo.

Second shot with all gear pre-placed, first shot was epic with passive gear pre-placed and felt soooo much harder, I gave up when placing a bad #5 breathing in a chunky gain of sand. The climb still needs a lot of cleaning.

First Free Ascent. What a line, what a climb! First shot of the day, boom!

Warming up, got a bit more pumped than expected

A bit of an exaggeration calling it “perfect rock”, but it is an incredible climb.

It’s not often you come across a 15m overhanging route, protected by gear, with no crack climbing.

Awesome bit of jug hauling, on surprisingly solid rock. Pro the whole way, and not a crimp in sight. Ticked with pre-placed gear, but suggested grade is to account for extra pump placing.

Sick find Anton Korsun and great job establishing it

It's pretty rare to come across a climb like this. This line is obvious and screams to be climbed, it's perfectly protected with traditional gear, all the holds are great and interesting with some truely amazing features, length is good, rests are helpful but not lie down type of thing, it's steeeep as, protected from rain, drizzle, sun, wind, name it. Thanks to Anton, outstanding work. Finally something I could redpoint 😂 My ascent was with previous knowledge as I've been up it few times taking a gentleman sit before the crux, then I had the chance to snatch the second ascent with extensive description of gear placements and provided gear so in some ways I wish I would have had the chance of getting this climb onsight but supporting Anton for the first ascent was even better. Again, top work Anton!

FFA. A consistently high caliber of climbing that gets pumpier as the gear gets more spaced (although all within reason). Thanks to Brandon, Zi and Chris for the looong aid belays required to clean this last summer!

Gradewise, I found it harder than Vascularity, Disbelief and Supercrack, but given that I generally find jamB cracks easier than their hold-bearing counterparts, I think soft 24 is fair. Especially on a redpoint/onsight.
