Ascensioni di It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry

Didn't manage to stick the crux move.

Went very close to send it second day with almost 100% of umidity. Third day with few days of sun and wind it felt so much softer. Very good route.

Did all the move on the first go. Such a good line. The crux is my style. Hopefully is gonna go next day.

Couldn't quite stick the crux. The roof crack is super fun

2 attempts. Couldn't sort the last few moves of the main crux, and not sure I'd ever be able to essentially. Essentially gains the 2 grades that earn it 29 in those few moves alone. Otherwise, linked most of the route on my 2nd lap. A really fun route, with wild steep climbing, and plenty of funky moves. The roof crack is hilariously fun, and the finale is thrilling. Shame its a bit beyond me, but I had fun.

Checking out the moves. Got stuck at the crux before the roof crack!

Stuck at the crux

Dog and clean. Jesus. Found the sequence below the roof crack to be the hardest. Felt hard for me personally.

Just a investigatory try, up to the roof crack and couldn't figure out the sequence. Awesome climbing.

Pulled past lower crux crimp and then a draw to get established in the upper crux roof along with a few good rests.

Took a bit of time to work out the crux. Very rewarding.

Mega. All the moves worked out bar one or two. The roof crack is a hand shredder.

Went up for a play. All fairly straightforward except for the crux which I found quite tricky. The top roof is a mega way to finish though!

Such a rad climb! All the moves bar the roof move. But think I know how it will go. Looking forward to a rematch

I could NEVER manage to do that one move in todays spooge. (Top of the flake with the left hand on the slopey gaston, and the high right foot).

First time climbing on a 29. Got spooked at the traverse.

#2go fun

Really should of just stayed at home today. Decided to put the draws up and chalk almost every hold. Remembered the move first shot, had to swim up the draws second. Probably the worse wetness and conditions I have ever tried climbing in. Dialed in that top hand jamb move.

Well that was unexpected! Was so pumped on the top jugs I started to black out. Wild jug dyno desperation = palm flappers. Ultra steep, ultra my style. Condition report at time of send: Sunny, 12°C and 54% humidity at 3pm! [2]

Getting the project draws on.

Well. First shot after equipping, climb past the crux through to the jugs only for one of the summit jugs to snap off in my hands. There should be a tick type = 'robbed'

Good fun. Worth more than 1 star though. Great moves down low, interesting crux, lots of fun to the end.

A bit of a tasting lap in the heat. Climbed up to the crux clean. Had a sit, fired off the crux but then had trouble commiting to the roof crack jamb above. Great route, very steep and fun.
