Ascensioni in Montenegro come Hang dog

Padla na stantu😔

Maybe I went off route but absolutely dogged this one, not normal for a 5!

Everything felt 7a except the crux move off the sidepulls into the black undercling block. That felt pretty damn hard. Good technical route with a cool slab finish.

Did every move except the third move, falling into the pocket LH with the RH on the bad crimp. From the LH pocket I took it to the top clean. This crux is nails hard and not worth trying unless your pulleys are healthy. With healthy fingers I could only try the crux moves 3-4 times before my tendons gave up. It all comes down to good foot placement and tendon strength. After the crux which felt like a 7c/+ move personally, it felt 7a+/b for a few bolts then once you are established on the arête feature it’s easy to anchors. I would not argue with 7b+ for the grade based on the crux alone.

Ouch. There goes my pride.

A frustrating and hard tufa crux probably around V3/4 gets you over a bulge then it's still got a few weird moves to the top. 5.11a/b

Really difficult crux move above the anchors after a small rest. Final bulge is exposed and committing! 5.11d
