Ascensioni in The Royal Arches

Cool route. Some nice undercling moves. Easily protected.

led 1st & 3rd with steve

never said this before but........beautiful crack climb. absolute classic.

Lead every pitch clean. Super fun crux!!! The first pitch was really painful on the feet.

2nd pitch was hard. I seconded it clean.

hard slab traverse for us crack climbers!

beautiful jamming up second pitch

First day in the valley. Simuled this climb in 5 blocks. I lead the whole time. I used the fixed gear for the penji.

Partnered with Bill. Lead pitches 1&2. The bolt was removed from the first pitch protecting the first 30 feet of climbing. Managed to get in a .75 with two lobes at about 15 feet, and good piece right next to where the bolt used to be located.

only one move of .10 and the rest is ok

Mega classic when done with sons of yesterday

Sketchy slab to crack.

We were the first of 11 parties to do this route today! Most people's experience of this one is either having someone up their arse or being up someone's arse. I managed to lead the whole thing aswell as son's and keep the guide who was following us at bay. (He'd done the route 50+ times.) with Taylor Zentner (PN)

some of the best crack pitches I've done. No wonder it's so popular. with Taylor Zentner (PN)

the last 2 pitches were ok. We ended up doing 17 pitches today. (with Taylor Zentner (PN)

I led the 2nd rope in our party of 5. We did the pendulum, not the 10a slab moves.
