Ascensioni in Montagu come Attempt

Short route, but excellent sustained climbing! Well bolted! So bummed I couldn’t send it, but looking forward to going back for it.

I really need to put work into this. Came for a quick burn, fought all the way and was eventually thrown off at the top. HARD, sustained, pumpy and excellent route! 🥵 There is no time to waste by guessing and faffing.

What an awesome route! Cool grips and moves, good boulder problem at the beginning so climbed with 2nd draw clipped in for safety (for me crux is right before being clipped in where I fell a lot and too close to the ground). Seth’s beta helped me finally manage the crux, but I was too pooped during the send attempt. Wild runouts further up but good holds. Deserves another star ⭐️ Lovely walk in through the kloof.

Couple more goes at the bottom at end of day. Did the dyno again but also found undercling beta which works better.

Just trying out the bottom dyno, stuck 1/3 times. Seems cool

Humbling.

Couldn’t clip at the top of the crux, not sure how, and if necessary 😀. Also couldn’t decide between going left or right at top of the crux. Anyway, great route, wish had more time to finish.

I freakin love this route!! Gave it two solid goes and fell both times before the chains so am finally getting close to sending. Never felt so excited about NOT sending a route knowing I’m gonna get back on it again soon, it’s that much fun. I leave feeling I’ve accomplished something even when I don’t send. What is it with this route 🤣🥰🤩

Such a fun route, dang it’s pumpy!

Was ready for the send on 3d go but popped off before the chains, caught myself, felt so good, solid and calm, surprisingly popped off again and fell whaaaa! Enjoyed the route a lot. 4th go everything felt hard and I was out of energy for the send so will have to go back.

Another solid session. Couldn’t feel my fingers first go, quite essential to feel your fingers 😆 Damn cold in Winter here (go later in the day). Second attempt wanted to work out beta but ended up almost sending, messed up at the top. 3d attempt went for send but wrong footwork popped me off at the top 🙈 4th attempt I was pooped and useless haha 😂 Hardest route I’ve ever climbed, sustained 23! Fun day. Will be back soon. Only 4 routes left of my 20 23 challenge taking forever 😅

Sad to say that I broke a foot hold at the bottom of the route I don't think its critical - I could still work the first few moves without the hold.

The hardest 23 and most stellar crimpfest of a stunning route I have ever attempted! Worked it for two days and messed up before the chains at the last attempt. I lay awake at night thinking about this route!!! Looking forward to going back there 🥰

Great route with a clear and tricky crux. Hope to nail it next time

1 go lead (felt harder then 21)
