Ascensioni di Firedance

Managed to get pumped before the crux, downclimbed to gear and sat. Crux took some working out, look for the feet. A ball nut was handy. Must revisit.

led after seconding a few months ago

A but serious at the first crux, quite interesting

Thought provoking and balancy

Had to sit on the rope to get a horribly cammed piece

very nice climbing, but still get very unconfortable protecting trad

The crux of this climb is the lack of pro as placements are sparse, but they're pretty good once you find them. Definitely deserves a 19 on lead, even if the moves are fairly cruisy; wouldn't be the same experience on top rope that's for sure. Recommend micro cams if you've got them because being 5m up over only a #1 and #2 nut isn't confidence inspiring. Enjoyable climb.

Clean but still tenuous.

Quickly realised getting on this to warm up was a bit of a silly idea. Fluffed the sequence low.

Tricky but good gear. Nice delicate climbing

Bloody luvly innit

Pretty interesting moves -- quote of the day from Hannah --- did I just climb a 15 or a 21?

retro log - good

Really fun climb. Slabby goodness all the way. Guidebook says 20, 19 feels about right.

Thought it was a soft touch at 20, obviously it’s been downgraded since the guidebook

Small fiddle gear. Most likely trustworthy but delicate nonetheless

Surprise whipper off the balancy crux. Took some time and got it second go!
