Ascensioni in Rockaway and Amphitheatre

2nd shot. Really good techo arete climbing, quite insecure and good value. I used the "off limits" rock on the right at the start as it was too contrived to avoid - sue me.

The first half was fine, but a crack that stays wide blue for ever in the second half is my anti style and I’m not that interested in embracing the pain.

Awesome

Managed it in the first sesh thanks to Pats beta, what a beauty! Very classy, wish it was longer!

The Gnome being gone almost dropped a star...

substantially easier than 19 if you have big hands, just hand jams the whole way.

Nice little route!

Warmup

Very classy climbing. All the moves are doable, but linking them without a foot slip while placing gear will be the challenge. Well done Chris, you're a cool cucumber 🥒

Very good, very doable for most of the cimb, just gotta bring your strong arms. However if you can't off-width (me) good lucking finishing this sucker. Even if you bring a six.

Amazing line of hand jams to large hands/fists. Fell near the tricky part at the top. Will climb again.

Great route.

Second lead burn and it went. Great climbing.

So good.

Thanks to Zac who convinced me to go ground up rather than take the soft option and check it out on the way down. Proceeded to dog it like an absolute mutt. Had a clean toppy lap once I ticked a few holds and then seconded Zac on it and had a couple sits. Seems doable. Next lead should see it happen I hope.

winter climbing through snow! bit of a heinous grovel in parts. mini epic, got benighted in sub zero condys!

Awesome climb. Missed out on the onsight because my glove broke, but as Scott pointed out really the only thing that broke was my will. Ended up coming away with a sobering redpoint. Thanks Scott.

Sick ! 2nd shot

Gave that Gnome a big smooch.

Glad to finally put this project to rest. Longest project so far, and ill keep cutting laps on it for training. Happy to log some airtime of this today yesterday aswell.

awesome route! I really enjoyed it

could be an 18 as well

fun, strenuous, and oh man my granite crack game needs work. finally broke in the croll and enjoying how it runs

Good fun, although a little dirty

Good fun. One rest at the very damp crux

Great climbing, felt pretty easy but we'll have to see what reality says.

First 25 onsight on gear. If only the finger crack were longer!

Ooooooof! Great line. That off-width section is brutal, uncompromising, and desperate. Had to pull out all the tricks for this one, including many hand/fist stacks. The driest mouth at the top of this. Total sandbag and totally excellent. Flashed as we rapped the line to check we had enough big gear.

Warmup.

Delectable.

Nice jamming.

So bloody good.

Tough and "on" the whole time, very sustained. Makes you work... Was bamboozled for a while testing different beta but eventually figured it out. Will be back
