Ascensioni di City of Peace

Sick line, sad to find it at the end of the trip. Will be coming back for this one. All moves done but the pocket match, 2 attempts.

Really good, linked crux.

Great fun power pulling between pockets, keen to come back. Haard

Wow, another mega dream route ticked off the list. Thanks to the whole team today for helping make this possible

After a clunky warm up, I managed to one hang it. Strung the full crux together and took it to the top, just need to add the start now! Psyche is high

Must be about my third day on this and time to start documenting attempts. Rapid progress across three widely spaced days. Initially the crux moves felt kind of impossible and way harder than 29. I’ve since managed to do the moves (last session) and today made awesome links through crux, nearly stringing it all together. Need to get on it a bit more regularly and start having proper attempts from the ground

Beautiful line, had one more session since the last log but couldn't be bothered typing it up.

Put the draws on yesterday but was way too spooge then, first burn fell at my Redpoint Crux for the 6th time, second burn stuck it for the first time but hit it poorly and feel adjusting it. 3rd burn stucket like a bucket and enjoyed the rest of the victory lap to the chains 😊

Had another whirl on this a few weeks back with G with the goal of going to the top, made it and top rope cleaned after. This time I did all the moves to get the draws on pretty quick then tried to iron out the crux a bit. Got a new high point day 1 and came back Sunday had 2 burns, got the same high point (fell on drive-by both times) and second time went to the top clean after pulling back on for the 1 fall ascent

Went up to suss how the moves feel on a 29… they felt bloody nails. 😂 Couldn’t do any of the “hard” moves, think 29 is still a ways off for me.

Getting up to the crux felt much much easier this time and with a few pointers from Scotty I was able to do all the crux moves, lowering off at the bolt after the canpusing. Definitely on the list of things to do now! Stuck the drive by first attempt off a sit.

Powerful crux with amazing climbing either side. So fun. Did all the moves in my very short hang dog on the only rest day at the gramps. Would love to come back for this.

Some fitness training

Fitness lap

Made it to the 3rd bolt but couldn't clip it so down climbed and stick clipped it, worked out how to clip it and carried on to 4th bolt, played around here for a while eventually getting into the first pocket and going up to the second, next time aiming to hit the first pocket clean and make the move to the second pocket (may need some stronger fingers though?)

Great route. Pockets are better than they look from the ground

I'm too weak for this pocketey nightmare. Super fun to try though

FFA. Seven years and countless days in the making. Bushfires, multiple surgeries, broken bones, Covid and it finally went down.

Getting a little closer each time, made a link from mid crux to the top

Found more beta for last move of the crux

Really good link again.

Holy shit, found beta to statically do the first crux move.

Making slow progress, was tired this day, try again in May.

Progress - finallylinkage of the crux 6m section. So stoked.

All the moves worked out now, 25, V9, 26

Lead top section in one section.
