Ascensioni in Snake Cave

I really enjoyed this, but its probably not for everyone. Went really easily today, so its probably not as hard as I thought it was. A really funky, fun, steep finale with some very weird moves

No chance! Even with the beta explained to me this climb is beyond my physical strength at the moment. A really good line. I am keen to try it again after a lot of hangboarding. It seems harder than other 23s I've climbed so I think 24 is more likely.

Repeat. Rather stop-start, but the upper moves are my favourite of the crag.

Another lap. Love the upper half steepness.

FA. A "Lowers Mountains Classic" (with all the caveats that statement encompasses).

A climb of many components, but the technical finale is definitely a show stopper. No boring bits, that's for sure.

Repeat. Absolutely cruised this. No way it was ever 23 (not sure what I was thinking?) Awesome technical climbing on weirdly good rock the whole way.

FA. A super cool hard start up steep jugs, and a tricky face on great rock... then easier, but less inspiring climbing to the top.

FA. Some great climbing at the start and once you start turning the cave roof, but the escapability into the choss cave, and the rock surrounding it knocks a start off. Might be hard at the grade? Though the grade is contingent on following the line of the bolts on the good rock, and not straying off into the choss.

Repeat. As I said before, if you stay out of the cave, this is actually quite fun, and the crux is enjoyable.

Good climbing on good holds. I struggled to move past the cave due to strength limitations. Need to climb more! Holds are good and moves are really fun. 👌

2 Laps. After a long morning working one of my upper mountains projects, this one felt hard today. Fun enough for what it is.

Clean repeat. Lapping!

Ugh. Sand.
