Ascensions de Karma Gettin

Dumb mistakes on my only fresh burn I had in me today

High point at the gaston after the high traverse but had a stupid foot slip.

From the ground to the end of the traverse. End of day 2 fatigued af so I’m happy with that. Keen to come back.

Pre siq. Happy to just about one hang from Toast anchors on first sesh

Just the one exploratory lap. Way too sweaty and humid to get serious about it, but I really rated this extension. punchy moves between good rests all the way to the anchor. The downside is that you have to lap Toast to have a crack at this. I'll bet that gets old fast. Maybe in winter?

I found 4 no-hands kneebars on this extension to make it manageable for weak climbers like me.

Started up 14th Phalange and had a crack because draws were on! Few sits up to traverse.

Hanging draws on top section to warm up.

Good to put this one to bed. Cracker of a line with some stellar climbing above the anchors of toast. I cut about 3 or 4 times during toast. Wouldn't worry about it.

Warm up on section from last bolt of toast.

Full attempt, fell above last draw pulling onto the face. Can't be too upset, will get this soon!!

Warm up, hanging the draws

Fell on the last move

Bit less faff with the beta at the top and it's done! Stooooooked.

From last bolt of toast. Sussing holds/moves again as I forgot pretty well everything.

Last toast bolt up. Glad to have finally figured out some kneebars that make me feel like I could get something back on the send.

Last toast bolt up. Done in 3 sections. Such powerful final moves! Will try to make some links from the ground next time. A shit to backjump.

Fell at the heartbreaker finish and took a mad whip yay. 1-2 more sessions to put it to bed.

Hanging the draws to warm up

2 hangs plus a new high point. Nice.

To the top of toast, then hanging draws bolt to bolt the rest of the way

High point just below the kneebar rest. 3 hangs total. Consistently getting through toast fairly pumped but able to recover. Feels a fair way off but achievable

Hanging the draws, learning the moves

Small linkups

Slightly less small linkups but still feels miles away. Psyche is high though, it's a cracker of a line

Yeah...will take some work. Could be a heartbreak final sequence, but some really good climbing past the anchors of toast.

I need so much more endurance my god

2 more laps to last bolt. Wet up top. Clean from toast crux to half way across traverse when my foot got stuck. Lucys knee bar pads are great!

More laps trying to get fit enough to link one day....

A brief session last week and one today. Just working from the crux of toast to start of traverse. If I’m ever going to get this, then it should be this year with Lucy and Mel. Have to work those knee bars.

Didn't quite sit on every bolt. Had forgotten how painful it is.

Still no luck....

Another lap after warming up. 1 rest, getting close. To smashed for another shot.

This thing is nails at 26! A great long line with a super tough finish. It just keeps going. Got to the 2nd last bolt on 2nd shot, then too wasted.

Pommy made me do two laps on it. Major dogfest and more enduro needed

More endurance

Steep 45 degree wall/roof of mainly juggy goodness - fun fun

12 rings to wiregate L-offs, enduro pumper, not 1 hard move, just survive the pump factor!

Old ascent

Another lap, more fitness required.
