Ascents by Anton Korsun having Distinct route

Linked the first two pitches which was flowy and honestly feels like the best way to climb them. With two 70's and (un?)wise skipping of bolts, it may be possible (and enjoyable) to link the whole thing, cos we got down in one 70m rap with plenty of rope to spare.

Now that would be rad!

Very pleasant linking followed by very unpleasant shivering, followed by very pleasant crimping to restore the score.

Climbing the orange goodness between sleet showers felt like we were being beamed up by aliens (bald-headed ones, naturally).

Up and downclimb

Long time scheming finally comes together!

Did this, plus the top Mirrorball pitch, Bunny Bucket, Randy Rabbit and Hotel California (via Cows) for a 1100m day in 7 hours car to car...

...and 31 seconds, but I could've parked 20m closer near the toilets, so it's safe to call it 7 hours flat 🙂

Insane to see Will free the lot, as my frenching speed was often still slower than his freeing.

Times were as follows:

West Face (plus Mirrorball top pitch): 49 mins

BBB: 44 mins

Hotel Cal: 1h 38 mins (the bonk begins lol)

RRR: 1h 24 mins (neither having done the headwall before)

Awesome day out

Cripple rehab. Came off the very first move because right knee is still spaghetti in certain positions. Clean to the top.
