Ascents in Durmitor

Probably my hardest technical send, ever. Thank glob the bouldery crux is right off the deck. 2nd crux is the most committing, and third crux is technical slab/vert. 3 sessions. 1st go today.

Everything felt 7a except the crux move off the sidepulls into the black undercling block. That felt pretty damn hard. Good technical route with a cool slab finish.

I thought this was by far the best of all the 5’s here.

Basically just a bunch of 5.7 ledge-mantling with one 5.8 move or two.

I thought this route was really nice. It’s a challenging onsight, with a lot of the key holds being sort of hidden. Being taller helps. It felt about 10a/b to me at 6’4”.

Vert/slab moves after halfway, all the holds are super small and requires a lot of balance and route-reading. There’s no resting on jugs anyways so hold onto your butts! Probably one of my hardest slab onsights. Felt closer to 7a for me but I’m 195 lbs.

The OS warm-downfelt sandbagged, I read it super poorly at the start and finish. A few days later came back for a repeat and it felt 5.9 with better beta.

Amazing climbing. Reminiscent of Ten Sleep, WY. Perfect moves on hard, compact rock with bomber pockets. Power endurance flake down low with a more technical sequence towards the top. One of my favorites in Montenegro.

Really cool flake lay-backing with a crimpy traversing crux at the last bolt.

180m slab. Approach was 45 min from the farmhouse. We abseiled down, maybe there is a way down but did not bother to look for it. Beautifull view.

Odličan smer. Zahteva različite pokrete.

Very nice technical route

Very nice technical route

climbed in the huge crack in the end not to ruin my onsight. if redpointing, climbing straight would be more elegant

very happy I could onsight it. it begins with an obvious power-endurance section, than the good holds require some thinking to onsight it. very nice line

one bad foothold. far. in wrong direction.

The rout itself is nice, really tricky to find the start point, but the most interesting is finding the way down.

Crumbly start, nice route otherwise.
