등정들 Asia에서 peta barrett에 의한

Discovered I can't drop knee and my knee still hurts from that incident in Kaly. Stemming to the tufa was out so made the last move impossible today... plus I was a bit worried I'd broken it so babied it.

Our tarps absorbed the humidity in the air and were wet from the bone dry ground. ... which is probably why we found this pretty greasy today.

First bolt is pretty high for the grade given that we broke off the first hold....

Way way too hot for this and then I got swarmed by ants climbing through the tree at the top. First shot felt impossible. Second shot on TR to clean put a lot more together but still too fried by the sun and heat. I'll wait for a weather change.

Warm up laps chasing the shade. Sun kept coming out of the clouds as I left the tree shade... I swear I'm jinxed.

Warm up laps.

Warm up day. Jet lagged and heat stroke.

2laps to warm up.

Kept getting fried by the sun only peaking out of the clouds while I was on route. Didn't get a tan though...

Had bigger plans for the morning but just too hot. I could have slept in but figured this was the last time I could get out of bed, walk 5mins and fit in a few sneaky laps before 8am!

Warmup for our last morning here. So hot and humid!!

Too hot for me! Stomach feeling a bit too gurgly to be upside down. At least I got on it. And then watched Stefan flash/onsight it!

Had bigger plans for the day but just so hot! Finished by 8am.

Really good. Would have enjoyed it more if I wasn't sweating profusely...at 8am! As the guide says, difficult to clean.

Repeat. Active rest day. 40 degrees but this may have been one of the cooler crags today.

A day off to counter heat exhaustion and this went on my warmup! Had to clean it on tr which was slightly (very) petrifying. 5th bolt had pinged off so had to try and replace the nut. Exhausting!! Check with Uli that the bolt has been replaced. Loose thread!

1 shot bolt to bolt to check it out. 2nd shot got to last bolt... My usual style this year... Pretty hot day even in the cave. First shot I hated it but it comes together really quickly. Don't inhale the dirt at the 4th bolt... It's horrible.

Repeat. Not much easy stuff left to insight so had a mileage afternoon. 3 laps on this.

Scott got the hornets in the extension so just repeated the first pitch.

Early morning shop. Unfortunately now in the sun at 8am mid March. Good but hard.

Sleepy resend at the end of the day. About all I had left in me and glad I didn't brown point...

Super sharp.

So much easier with nicer temps! The crimps felt like jugs!!!

Repeat. Warmup

Wow. Mega!

Warm up. Overheat. Haha. More sweating into my eyeballs!

I don't care... It's too hot to climb! X2. Sweating into my eyeballs at 9am. I am very impressed by all those people who can climb in this weather.

Sweaty spaghetti.

Really good apart from the wax bees trying to enter our ears and eyes. I was lucky and only had to fight off 3 or 4. Scott had about 20. No breeze means they get in when you are climbing, little buggers!

A good one to finish the day on. Easy juggy and cruisy. And that's another crag ticked... Until they bolt more!

Another goodie. First half is still pretty dirty but the top half is awesome. Another toughy for the grade.

Super crimpy surprise!

Best one here so far. More like 6a+ though

Warm up

Same high point but oh so greasy! Pinged off the crux move from sweat. At least I can still get to here in this weather. X2

Early morning ascent was probably the best shot. Came back after breakfast for my second shot when it was in the tree shade but got blinded by the sun going for the first crux hold. Came back again at 4 in full shade but first shot was way too hot and last shot I was a bit fried. Hot Temps coming may mean I've missed my window but I'll keep trying. Can only make me stronger. I feel I've put all my eggs in one basket trying for a route that's totally against all my strengths but you gotta try!

Well, it got me out of lying in bed all day. Rest day sneaker, chalk less ascent. And all the fours ticked.... And yet another crag!

Rest day sneaker chalk less ascent. And that's this crag ticked.
