Ascents of The Reaper

Damn you Reaper!

Too tired to pull the beginning cleanly at first

Enjoyed toproping this again today. Hung the long draws to lead it but ultimately didn’t feel like it due to the sparse bolting and the ground fall potential. Very fun climb.

Set this up on toprope after clipping the anchors of “Krispy Kreme”. It was partially wet and wasn’t motivated to lead it on sport due to the aforementioned ground fall potential. Fell the first time before the “second bolt”, and continued onto the top.

Climbed it again from the ground up clean on toprope sliding around a few times in the water. Was a super fun climb with excellent features and fun dynamic moves. Would be fun to repeat when dry, especially on TR and with more time than at the end of a day.

Glad it’s easy to set up from Krispy Kreme anchors with a belay. Has a two bolt anchor linked with a chain and a rappel ring for easy cleaning (Saturday October 24 2020).

Messed up the beta and took a real big whip above the second bolt.

First climb of the season!

Missed a hold...

Basically a bolted highball boulder problem. Super fun regardless.

Wasn't feeling it.

Went smoother than last time.

Ok on the technical bits, but didn't find the right foot at the physical crux, so that took a couple tries.

I really liked this one. The lead looks sketchy!

Keep your head. It's all there but you just got to find the right set of moves. Actually a real shame not to onsight because there is only one way up.

Climbed it wet -- might go better dry.

Looks like ground-fall potential at 2nd bolt.
