등정들 West Face (Main Area)에서 Red point로서

Probably one of the best climbs I’ve done at this grade. Such fun, unique movements. Even a double Gaston ! Epic !

After cleaning the route, decided to get back up to get some footage and did a second clean lap putting the draws, which was pretty cool.

And it went this time =) , not in the warmup as my fingers were still frozen at the crux, but it felt pretty good second shot, the crimp and bump to the pinch was the winner beta for the crux.

Great route, not the best warmup with that boulder at the start! Including the tree didn’t really make it easier for me, so ultimately went for the 100% rock option.

Pitched it out with Chris. So good, first time getting the top half clean - pumpy!

Don't go up for the left hand at the anchor it's no good the right is way better 😅, good warm up for some of the other crimpy stuff

Repeat

Repeat

Classy

started left but mcdougaled at the lower rooflet.

Cool crux and another binary beltah - fair at the grade, but a bit of a one sequence wonder as far as the grade goes

Repeat, violently pumpy crimp ladder.

Repeat, such a gem.

Repeat warmup

3rd shot, 1st RP go after figuring out lip pull beta.

The beta: RF heel hooks pyramid while walking hands up on left sidepull until RH is on a crimp on top, toe LF to back of pyramid to make cut more controlled, cut feet and place RF on big edge on lip, throw RH to sloperjug. Then walk hands up and hold it together until the rest.

Really brawny somewhat inelegant crux beta, but it’s the first rock climb I’ve ever sent with an actual toehook, so that’s pretty cool!

If you split up pitch four you can get away with fewer than 10 brackets for the carrots.

Warm up lap

First ecopoint after taking mum for a walk, probably last for a while unless I get a bike. 2 laps

For sure one of the best 25s going. Cracker climbing. Alzheimer onsight ?
