攀登 in Dengue Section

1 warm up burn, 2 redpoint attempts

Didn’t think I was close to sending, went up a couple of times working out individual moves and dialling the crux, then sent first red point go! What an awesome line, the way I did it felt at the absolute limit of my reach too, imagine it being way harder if shorter

Beautiful movement

Changed beta at the crux. Getting smoother on the redpoint attempt

Dogged to the top relatively smoothly. Worked on the top section

Focused on finessing the lower section. Managed a new high point to reach the crux relatively fresh

Topped the route for the first time 🥲

Opening a new project

Lower part dirty and wet, upper part nice. Anchor not the best.

Ouh yeah o.o

Shiiiit Fuuuuck I love climbing

First time passing the crux

In heavy rain. Wow great route.

As Salty Plum said when he sent it - "Pure joy".

The process of sending this line is like the route itself - a long but rewarding journey. 36m in all, a full-value climb that features tufa-wrestling, face/slab crimping into more tufa-wrangling to gain the top. All that with some jamming rests to manage the pump. Surely one of the best lines in Malaysia.

Lost track of the number of tries this took, but the attempts spanned multiple trips, separated by a pandemic. I must have climbed the lower bit to the crux at least 20-30 times, yet it never felt like a chore or got unenjoyable. A truly worthwhile line to project and take down.
