Ascensioni di Brown Hornet

Much easier this time, not being in the sun

Got spooked on near the second bolt

Stick-clipped first bolt for Hyakatan's lead, then I followed on top rope.

Popped off a hold fairly low down, then did the rest in one go. Nice climbing, fun moves, quite sustained all the way to the anchor. Some of the clipping positions seem tricky so probably a fair bit pumpier on lead. Some rests which are probably great if you're better at resting than me. Nice big horizontal crack mid-way up makes for easy and secure jams even for someone as bad at crack climbing as myself.

Excellent climb!

Hard start, excellent route

Went to the wrong direction and couldn't find holds. Spicy bottom crux clipping the second draw

Warm up

Bouldery start into some nice consistent spanning

First day back out 'sporting' after long lay-off. Definitely bouldery start, seemed to have got that dialled but need to get transition from there into next section (3rd bolt). Enjoyable climbing and keen to come back to it.

Didn’t realise you could use the left pocket on the bottom boulder until the 10th attempt / playing with the beta. Got it straight away once figured out! Super fun climb

Cold hands.

Got through the bottom crux and then blew it at the top

Taught myself to rope solo. Scary. Did this about 5 times

Found a sweet little crag. How cool
