Found some time to polish the route- with good chalk management this is potentially free-soloable.
Thanks @rough topaz for putting on the Competion to push me to do this 🙂 Fun route.
Got the FS
And what a gorgeous goddamn pic. I bet you hate the fact that you placed that piton huh? 🤣
Gg dude insane work. I’ll put you down as FR
Did you use that chalk technique to get it? Any other new techniques that made it easier?
I had actually already used that chalk technique you mentioned, cause I start with inf. climbing, add 2 chalk, then turn it off to start the route
so this was with the og amount of chalk I used the other day
Gotcha. That’s nuts dude. I knew someone would get it, but I didn’t think it would happen so fast. My God.
I bet the end had you nervous lol
I want to put as main pic but this Discord forum has been finicky about allowing me to change original post pic
I was out of chalk completely before the top out
Crazy work brother. Now go hit the slabs. Your soon-to be-favorites 😜
Imma hit the hay lol
Respect
vid soon
Polished a bit more and was able to squeak out a true Free Solo of Crown of Thorns (9 / 8c)
Damn y’all killed it
Plus the down climb- nice.
About to try this! No expectations of doing it FS yet.
Nice
I wish I did a downclimb so I didnt have to watch Aava's dream cutscene every time 😭😭
