Ascensioni in Vietnam come Hang dog

All moves, very hot.

First 5 bolts are fine then you hit the sloper holds. The lichen doesn't brush off and goes green or orange if you do try. Weird. No friction on these holds. 3 moves I could not do at all. The tree got trimmed back today. Maybe some air on it might help?

Spent a bit on this one, worked out the moves. Would need at least another couple goes before the RP I think. Stout, thin, tweeeeky.

Ooh interesting!

The weather predictions don’t look good so got the draws down today. At least I can do all the moves and clip all the bolts. Next year.....

Ok so not quite taking it too easy but... top roping, so kinda restful?? Trying to remember the moves. Had it so wired last year but luckily I took notes. Just got to remember the nuances.. only 2 shots as I’m feeling the fatigue of a lazy injured week.

(3). Finger injury is actually getting worse. I think my projecting is over for this trip. Cleaned the gear off.

many takes 🥲

Super cool route

Wow , what a line , powerful moves all the way up ! One of the best I have ever climbed . Tricky boulder problem at the bottom, Big Dino move at the middle! And then a hard boulder problem on the over hang .

A bit sad that I found this line only on my last 3 days , and I didn’t had enough time to send it . I Felt so close on my last attempt. Any way now I have an open project in Asia .

First working burn after bolting. Freakin awesome. Could not yet solve the transition out of the crack. All other moves done. Simon also had a burn.

Unlocked crux, but couldn't link to the following campus move. Weird that.

first shot was promising. thought I had worked out the moves...

second shot was actually worse. can really feel my lung infection slowing me down. two parts of the crux, I have the second part worked out and will try the first part scotts way... when I have some more energy. really flailed at the roof this shot. no juice in the tank at all!

3 shots. Nearly got crux. Can't reach hold like the boys so have to add a finger lock plus 2 more moves. Makes it very exciting but bruises my fingers. Pain will be the decider on this one...

Second shot, got the girly version crux move! So marginal. But fingers are so bruised I can't climb anymore today.

First shot At putting on the draws. X2

1st shot to get the draws on. 2nd shot can get to finger lock but fell off trying to get hand on crux hold. From crux hold to top clean. Frustrating... Having to add 3 more moves than the boys is going to slow me down on this one.

Deja vu. One fall. Frustrating. Either I stretch my arms by 5cm, somehow find extra contact strength or I think I'm going to have to give up... Easy to the top again...

Scott's project. Gave it a go, tired from yesterday. Could do most of it just needed a lot of rests!

Scott's project. Had another play. Made a lot more linkage.

Hard crack section, painful jamming! Can do the moves just not all together. From the top of the crack can get to anchors clean.

Misty weather and previous days of rain made the top section wet. Just worked the crux to top of crack. Best attempt was clean to top of crack where I fell off the last move to the jug. Hands are feeling a bit battered from the handjam... Weather permitting...this could go!!

Way way too hot for this and then I got swarmed by ants climbing through the tree at the top. First shot felt impossible. Second shot on TR to clean put a lot more together but still too fried by the sun and heat. I'll wait for a weather change.

Working on the lower bits. Seem to have found a sequence that works

Worked out moves for the start. Pounding headache today so nothing too strenuous

Ten minutes before sundown so just a quick lap of the first few bolts to keep it in my head.

Scott cut back the tree so I could work this but today was muggy. Areas that I thought I had wired came unwired... such a disappointing try.

(3). Finally can do all the moves. Nearly Bolt to bolt at the crux to top of steep section. High point twice throwing to crimp sidepully thing. Trashed now....

One dog and a couple of rather pathetic laps on TR. feeling totally wiped out today and elbow is really hurting. Time off perhaps?

One dog to get the draws up then 3 trs. Bit muggy today, felt like I was going backwards. Tired now.

Took some mega wingers today. Luckily wore calf sleeves and the helmet for the inevitable spin off and get the rope under my leg. All good though. No rope burn thankfully. X4

Working the section I couldn’t do on lead. Being 12 degrees, perfect weather and friction. Just worked the 2 crux sections. Got it sorted now. Let’s see how I go in less ideal conditions but pulled each crux 5 Times.

First shot bolt to bolt to ‘warm up’ for it. Pretty muggy so not best conditions but still stuck all the moves so progress there. Took a couple of practice falls to get myself into the zone for the mega whipper... but no mega whipper today.

Couldn’t stop my heart pounding so got to crux then rested before the last two bolts. Definitely warmer today though. Still stuck both sections pretty well though. Still got a few days left...

First shot bolt to bolting... all the moves are good it’s just so damn humid.

better but can’t control the heart palpitations!! Too muggy. Clean to juggy pocket and all moves good above.

First shot bolt to bolt. Felt ok

conditions are finally good... but alas, I’m obviously not. Got a high point though

pretty useless. Still, got to just below my high point. 6 months off climbing, no training and nothing steep... I shouldn’t be surprised really
