Ascensões em John and Ron Cliffs

Laser cut!

I gave it the old college try: the finger locks are fantastic, and there are some really cool challenging moves on very thin feet. Got about halfway up before it wiped me out. Next time, Gadget, next time.

This was an undignified climb for me. Can't believe I flailed it. But in part this might be because you are constantly changing styles as you go up. There is no one approach that works for this route - it has a little of everything, from dihedral work, to jams, to burly underclings, balancey sidesteps and a high rockover move.

Such a beautiful splitter crack. The edges are nearly square, and a little offset, so laybacking the whole thing is an option, although I went the less physical route of left-foot jams, right-foot small edges, and fist jams. Geometrically square in a way that made me think of trying to climb a building, but with a slight curve to the right to add interest.

I took several falls on this one. I found it harder than "Johnny Rock", but buddy said it was easier. We agreed that "Johnny Rock" was more technical, but this one more physical (strength based).

Good climb - very technical on small holds.

A lovely hand-crack -- solid at its grade if you're comfortable with crack technique, but might feel sand-bagged if not.

Lots of fun, with a bit of grunt.
