Ascents in North America by Anton Korsun having trad-cpr or ascent-date

Cruiser than expected but would be something else on lead! Flashed the first crux transition and finished the bottom section with 2 sits.

Then a loooong sit to work out the roof. Pretty pooped on that one but it went. Double kneebar. Rad.

yay

Went up with 6 cams and placed half of that before running it out to the lip.

Then had a funny moment when I forgot how to mantle (now decently runout) and sat sideways, awkwardly toehooking the nose for probably a good 5 mins, too pumped to stand up or clip the anchor, which was now 3 inches from my face. Like riding a horse but sideways. And 40 meters in the air. Fun.

Hoolyyyy where the feet be at?

Didditttt.

Toppie, but I’ve learned so much on this climb that I’m actually pretty ok with that!

One hang. This is becoming an oddly ringlock focused trip and I only got here lol. Why?!

Flashed the 11+ to the first chains, and it looks like the party is just getting started there.

One hang on the flash. Better rests than Swedin, but also like 3 Swedins stacked on top of each other.

Almost did it this time. Slipped moving past the last bad lock.

Note to self: hitting bumholes with alternate hands is way less pumpy than swimming through them… make of that what you will I guess 🤷‍♂️

probably the single most splitter crack ive done!

Was told this was 5.11 and kept awaiting some heinous crux monstrosity. Easier than chokky corna for me.

Up was fine. But Sloan-bagged once again, we simulrapped straight down the wrong gully (apparently marked “NO!” on mountainproject).

What was meant to be easy raps with a 60 became absolute ropestretchers with our 70m, mostly off little shrubs and requiring exposed down-aiding, unbelayed because the shrubs would probably rip.

When the trees were bomber we would simulrap again, comically running across the wall in search of further non-existent anchors for the “easy raps with a 60”.

Had a bad time. I don’t know if this counts as an offwidth (was told it’s not), but I do know that I went up with two 5’s and a 6 and basically shat myself from pure terror.

So yea, it’s probably an offwidth.

The snow cut the first pitch in half - so good!

Thought both pitches got .10c - it definitely felt that way.

Later we got on a bolted .11 and bailed after one bolt due to scary runout. This place is hard.

Yay rock climbing again!

Repoot. Warmuup.
