Ascensioni in The Sanctuary

First ascent on Father’s Day. Nice.

Really fun 3D climb. The hold out of the cave is massive, grab and cut loose. Take care until all of the loose stuff comes off.

Repeat. Scouting for new routes

Nice to come back and tick this after dogging it last year.

Pulled past the crux then came back down and climbed the crux clean on top rope. I'll be back for the red point. Great climb.

Best chimney climbing one could hope for. Managed to get out onto the face with grace rather than squeeze through the gap like a beached whale. Used the adjacent 17 lower offs by accident which made the climb even better as it gave me some air time when traversing over to them! Highly recommend this accidental finish. Simply a brilliant climb!

Start was balancy with a few good pockets and ledges before getting to the bones of the climb and finding out that the move to the final legde didn't agree with me. Looked left and found a more appealing variant. Toes on the iron stone ledges and use all the awaiting holds. Had to climb further to the right by one move before being able to traverse across to the anchors. Variant route=AWESOMNESS!

Hard start then easy up to final crux. Need to get left hand into secret hold in chimney up high then bump hand to make the deadpoint on bomber jug. Right heel hook to get to anchors

The small holds are all there. Much easier on top rope but very thought provoking on lead

Chimney is quite good. Easy to move up inch by inch. Crux was moving out around to the face
