Ascensions dans Los Pinos

it is 6a, not 6b+

Quite cool. Practicing mantling on the rope 🙃

Very sharp holds closer to the top. Didn't think I had power left for this one 😊 2nd

very soft for the grade. 7b+ would be more appropriate in my opinon

6c+? Maybe some holds broke out with leads to some huge jugs

Did the crux, fell moving to the final jug. Pumped silly!

Second attempt, slipped...bad try.

Surprised to see I could do the crux! Have improved since last trip.

Super.

Super.

The "lots of beta" end of day flash. A great line of tricky slopers and big moves, with 2 bloody stupid bolts that rob it of being anything truly great. Genuinely pleasant steepness.

THE line of the crag. 3 shots. The 3rd lap at the end of the day I made it to the final hard sequence near the top before pumping out for a 1-fall lap. With more refinement this WOULD go for sure, but no more time =( . Powerful, very steep, sustained and painful pocket and finger crack pulling which doesnt ever relent. Some touch moves to undercling pockets at full reach which you then need to stand up into. Hard crimping and tic-tac footers at the final crux.

After blowing the onsight (as a warmup) pumped silly at the last bolt, I didnt take it seriously on my other 2 shots (didnt look at the crux sequence, tick anything, or wait longer than 15min between shots) and I paid for it. Couldnt afford to waste any more time on this epic sandbag beauty. Hard slopey technical start to gain a seam, then hard steep seam climbing to the crux move right through a bulge at the last bolt.

A tricky sequence at the start, then just okay face climbing. Not terrible, but utterly unmemorable.

Still figuring out the feet.

Improving. Fell on setting up for the crux

Fell on the crux move; dynamic into a sharp pocket. Result; bloody fingers! Will come back when the fingers can take it.
