Ascensions dans The Old Woman contenant Bêta

The first 20' can be protected perfectly fine to prevent a groundfall. I found a yellow totem, blue totem and a .75 Camelot to protect these moves.

Followed this back in October 2021, today I lead this as my first ever trad lead. Took ages to find the right placements, but I made it up there cleanly. Still a nice climb.

Warm-up for the day.

Another line that demands to be climbed

Really nice rock climb

Very nice route, two cracks, but no jamming required. A bit more scary to me than Wind tower, because the climbing is a bit more weird, but nice weird .

Really good trad route, the last crack and slab part is not that easy.

Nice, not really traditional but I think more 5.9-5.10 one high foot move that feels harder than 5.8

Could not do the one move when going from last good hold of the flake to the crack. The move exactly was matching the right hand into the crack. Did not try very long though. For next time, try switching feet first and jamming left hand more so that I am already turned in when matching right hand.

First an overhanging flake and then the crux, protected by a bolt: getting from the flake into a crack on the left

Nice sport route

Scary, because the outer layer of the rock is crumbling off in many places, decided to go back down at the third bolt

very cool movement, placed a #2 and a #3 after the last bolt

Tricky start with fun moves.

So sooo good. Jams for days. Spicy start.

Silly fall after first bolt otherwise it was fine. Would've done it again for the redpoint but too many other climbs around I want to do!

Onsight rope solo

Ropes tied around our waists, simul climbing, many points.

In big wall style... We clipped other people’s gear and hauled.

“We’re trying to do this in a day, do you mind if we pass you?” Double Cross in a day with Eric, many shit list points were gained!

Second go on top rope. Cedar was on it so i thought I might as well join in as I wasn’t doing anything. Very fun, bouldery, intense crack climbing. A sandbag.

Seeing what all the hype is about. Toe Jam TV is better than Toe Jam the climb. At night.

Excellent for the grade, albeit straightforward.

Good, tricky crack climbing for the grade. I think 8+ is a bit of a sandbag. Make sure not to miss your first .75 placement if you're at you limit.

Great for the grade and I don't know what the "X" is for on the start of the route. That is just dumb.

What a blast. Absolute bomber jams once you establish yourself in the crack just under the bulge. I feel the runout to the first piece of gear is a bit exaggerated, it's very easy terrain (I did the direct start, straight up) and the first piece is perfect.

Nice, easy route. Bring a #2 if you want to protect a small amount of runout on easy terrain before the anchor, but in my opinion no other gear is necessary with three well placed bolts and two solid-looking pins. The crux, to me, came just beneath the first bolt rather than pulling past the roof.

A single staunch move that is a little harder if you dont use the flake. Okay with small hands. Then scarily up.

climbed the left side of the flakes to access the top crack. A nice pitch.

Dont remeber OS or second go ...

down

Great climbing with some funky moves for the grade.

Classic. The unprotected bit isn't that hard. Just bring a #4 cam to protect the transition into the crack and don't fall off at the bottom

Heavy snow during the climb. Fun movement.

Run out.
