Ascensioni in Vịnh Lan Hạ come Hang dog

Slipped off the ridiculously polished footholds at the crux 😑

took a long break at the crux (to cry), just didn't know how to get my feet higher. found some jugs on the left and zoo wee mama

Polished down low on the crux move

Was disappointed to not send this route but our group just got cooked off the wall. First up I missed the top rope flash by about 1 meter during the warm up and it was looking like it would go down very fast but then the sun came over the the top of the cliff and there was no shade to hide in. We suspect that it must have been close to 40C at the base of the cliff and the wall got so hot that I could not rest my body against the wall on the two red point attempts and yet it was still one of the most beautiful 5 star climbs I have ever tried and is calling my name to come back...the view alone was worth 5 stars but the climb was possibly even better, and what made it great was that the climb really built slowly meaning that the less experienced climbers in our group could still get in 10-15m of amazing climbing.

All round good route, struggled with the crux in the moisture and heat. Take time to soak in the in the view from the top!

Possibly easier than license to climb. 2 laps. Good holds all the way. The rain made it a bit more exciting. Anchors are a bit crap. First shot to get the draws on but no falls.

Very nice line, that follows the weaknesses of this section of the wall. Three harder parts with nice rests in between. I enjoyed it very much.

Fantastic climb in an unparalleld scenary. As Lee writes: it's like climbing on melted wax. Loads of pinches and small tufas, unique. Up to the last quickdraw it is fairly easy (max 6c?), but between the last bolt and the anchor there are four or five really hard moves. Especially the last move. I grabbed the sling after taking a huge fall at my first try, beacuse the last bold is far, far below the anchor.

Amazing line on a spectacular overhang with tufas over the sea. Good restin point after the obverhang and then sustaind climbing til the anchors. Clipping the achor is not that easy because they are far to the left, find the tiny sidepull!

Photo lap.

Fell off second last move. Argh!

Fell off third last move. Super pumped on the pinches.

One the finest routes you could hope to climb. 1 fall. Super memorable.
