攀登 in The Fossil Cave having 攀爬攻略

Such a good route

Working high point. Couldn't do one of the middle moves that I did last time, grrr. But got the moves to the jug and up to the big scoop on the headwall. Funky beta off the jug worked a treat.

Came off on the flake, head jam slipped, even though I had flashed it on the previous route. Rest of the route is really nice, and surprisingly clean and dry. Don’t forget a jam is a jug.

I think the flake move is 19 and the crux of the route proper felt 19 but maybe 18 if it was not so humid…

Pulling on jugs seemed like a good idea in the humidity, and it was. Fun route. Moves under the cave all turn out to be feasible. Got to the big jug out of the cave, great move, but could not keep the feet on to release the left hand.

I think it was the most efficient beta?? but man were there a lot of moves through the crux

Superb roof climbing requiring lots of core tension. Crux clip and draw are quite hard to use Gave it a second burn but didn't have the endurance. Awesome bouldery roofing

Felt pretty desperate coming up through the underling, squeezed in to a tight spot. Pumpy after with some open holds

Went up and put the draws on, then sent first shot! Bucket sized jugs the whole way, the big moves give it the grade

2nd go, perhaps used to be a jurassic pump, but there are multiple no hands rests which make it easier than rabbit trap imo. Great fun though!

Reworked out beta and then had an attempt but the conditions were to bad

Belay tick!!

Rad route that sadly seems like more trouble than it’s worth, Kez and Pat worked out beta that works tho so might have to try it again

I must have missed the jugs on this 17

Dunno why it’s contrived out left - went that way, but didn’t feel like it added anything

Powerful start for me but moved through a range of different styles of climbing. Enjoyed this but also got really confused by the single large lower off ring bolt. Expected to find two at least. Almost climbed up past it onto the next line

Very powerful bouldery start. High tension move to gain the face of the main climb. Flipping that left hand get some good. Sloper hold I used to clip from was cool. Only one fall on the Boulder move before sending

goosed it under the roof

went very clean moving out from the roof, class line!

That was scary but awesome. Also..where did all the holds go (for a 17)?

woah super fun horizontal maddness. love to get back on this

3x laps, dropped it post crux.

hard. No idea about that span...

Jugs

Thuggy roof climbing at its best , I’m coming back for more!

Had a go at roof climbing, made it to the 3rd bolt felt very accomplished, no way I could get to the 4th

Abit dirty today with all the rain.

oh soooooo good. exploration of the jugs and will be back for more.

x2 shots a wild feature with big holds

Good. To clean this up today. Great climbing to a hard lip turn. Good fun

End of day redpoint attempt ended at throw to the lip. So keen to get back on it.

Putting the draws on and working out the moves. Super cool climb

Second go, on second day. Cool knee bar beta.

Finally went down after 3 sessions.

4th shot of the day, around 12 tries overall.

Great moves, none of them are too hard but the pump adds up near the end.

Hard start!

Very interesting start to get out from under the roof, then easy moves up the main wall.

Silly start

The type of route with no chalk but enough glue and scars that it's not totally certain whether the FA'd route still exists. Not a classic but not that bad...just really nails cruxes. Out of my league even getting the moves sorted. Maybe 30?

A bunch of stretchy moves and awkwardly placed bolts. My onsight ended a move before the chains with the type of mega body pump you only get on juggy-ish rooves with mediocre heels and weird stacked kneebars. It then took me a few goes to work out the final couple of moves - which area the hardest on the whole route. I didn't bother coming back for the second go...secretly I wasn't sure I'd actually tick it...

I couldn't do the big move from the rail to the jug on the lip so instead i used the small sloper edge on the lip with many toe hooks to stop the pendulum cut.
