Not every day you cop a 50m limestone pitch with this much going on. Awesome dihedral climbing. Done at 6pm with full moon out and sundown views over north west arizona. Accompanying this over the 2 unplanned days at the grail were some 11d slab pitches with exciting edge dancing, another cool 3d pitch in the lower 11s and the crag classic, 2 pitch route vesper. Shit name but very unique route. Verdon-grey limestone blankness with a sloper layback rail leading to a bulge. Stopper crux shut me down but nice that tony and i both squeaked leads in on the crux pitch before the rain came in and chased us off to utah.

5.12c | ★★★ Sunburst — 5 attempts | 30m, 11 | ★★★ Classic | ||||
Super great route. Almost did it. Only had one fall climbed the reat without break. Beta for later tries: In the tufa section take the left tufa, step higher and take right sidepulls left next to the right tufa. Then step to the left of the left tufa and take left tufa where it goes a bit into an undercling. Then turn in to the left and grab with right hand to a super hold next to the QuickDraw. Right foot right high and clip. Left foot higher on the left to small foothold and then to take the good hold right on top of the tufa (it's a bit brown), then turn in to the right (left foot far right) and take the left sidepull (more at the bottom of the hold), then left foot high and left on the good foot hold (I put a tick mark) and right foot hooks the right tufa. Then clip and go with right into the finger hole. Left hand into intermediate side pull. Then left foot left on great foot holds, right foot high into the middle of the tufas (it is black and usually very wet). Then bump into undercling. Match and clip. Right hand to crimp, then right foot a bit up and left (turn in to the left) to take sidepull with the right. Then left foot a bit higher and slightly more tight than the right foot (it is black and a great foot hold, but not visible from above so has a tick mark). Then right foot very high right below the crimps there is some crumbly foothold. Then left hand to intermediate and then better hold. Left foot higher to something. Right foot on lower slightly smaller crimp. Move up hip and then move with right hand a bit higher up (only some centimeters) to reach the best undercling ever. Then left foot slightly up onto some non existent foot hold and clip the next draw (it's quite high at that point). Then left hand into great tufa side pull. Right foot up and right hand into even greater tufa side pull (it is more a side pull. Then left hand into undercling and rest. Right and left foot a bit up and right (not too high) both footholds are ticket. Then left hand to the side pull (take with shoulder)right foot very high up to the small black foothold (very close to the middle of the body). Then left foot on foothold to left. Take sidepull with right a bit above the sidepull from before. Reach with left hand far left onto very good side pull. Then right foot up to very big foot hold (it is also a hold) and clip. Relax a bit then go up with left to good hold. Feet a bit right to footholds. (Left foot goes left) and go to sloper with right. Left hand goes to good hold (a bit smaller). Then right foot a bit up. Left foot a bit up and left and go to sloper on the left with left hand. Then keep close to the rock and go with right into smaller hold (it's brown and also looks a bit like a side pull). Then right foot high up and move hip onto belly.

Great route but for me not the greatest warm up since it is already a bit hard. Its crux is a far move and then traverse to the right which is not easy to figure out. But luckily there is a rest right below. You can go back there from the crux any time.

Last route of the day, wanted to give it a quick go. Extremely overhanging and long for such an overhanging route, but also mostly jugs. More kneebar opportunities than I've ever seen before in a route - kneepad on right knee is a good idea. Came a bit more than halfway in my onsight, then I hesitated too long trying to get a better grip on a hold when I should have just gone on to the jug. However, I probably would have fallen at the crux anyway which consists in reaching the final jug at the anchor - the holds just before are the worst of the route.

5.13a | ★★★ Boyle's Route — 3 attempts - with Klara R | 38m, 18 | ★★★ Classic | ||||
One try for optimizing the moves, then one go with hanging on the rope twice: once just before the small ledge before the upper part and once before the crux move; a final try climbing all the way to the crux move but then falling halfway through the move (I take an undercling as intermediate, this is where I fell). Maybe I could have done the crux with a bit more conviction. There also is a kind of lower crux for me which is not a hard but takes some energy, and the rests after this lower crux are not that good.

Consistently nice more than 30 meter route with a crux just before the anchor. The moves are all not that hard, except for maybe the crux move, but I will have to optimize quite a bit in order to have any chance of sending. Definitely an endurance route.

5.12c | ★★★ Sunburst — 3 attempts - with Klara R | 30m, 11 | ★★★ Classic | ||||
Really nice route with a double tufa in the middle, and then a harder part on smaller holds after that. Unnecessary fall in the second try: skipped a hold because I thought I could, but it's easier with the hold. The double tufa part was wet, but the holds are so good that it didn't matter.

Probably one of the most beautiful places I've ever been, shame about all the rich people with cooked houses ruining the area.
We decided on the mace as our route of choice - a strikingly visible from the highway sandstone tower.
Listed as 5.9+ on Mountain project - big emphasis on the plus at parts. Who knew 1954 FAs might be even thrutchier than the Aussie equivalent. Sick climbing, incredible positions, and the step across the void to gain the true summit on pitch 5 is particularly novel. As well as the rap off the logbook bollard with a rattly lid. Rad day out.
