Begehungen von Aurum

Really fun. Definite crux 3/4 of the way. Took a bit of figuring out.

Wrong reading

Wasp hive developing left of first or second bolt.

Hot and humid, sunburned and running out of willpower. Still good.

Easy fun cruise until the cave of doom then solid for a few moves after that.

Great, long climb. Only one move at the grade. The rest is a jug fest.

Awkward move at crux, otherwise fine. Holded onto one quickdraw for clipping, otherwise clean.

Enjoying this more and more, easy exposed arete ramble to strong off balance crux after passing the cave of doom.

Got a bit confused where to go at crux so took a rest. Basically keep going straight up! Pretty sporting for 18, id say more like a 19 and steep at crux...Also is closer to 30 metres than 25...

Good exposure at the crux.

Finished at the anchor for Carpe Diem, but did almost all on the correct line.

Hot. Hothothot.

Fully bolted now, thanks Bryce. Nice climbing and exposure out on the arete. Stay on the arete, don't go right into the tempting cave of doom near the top, and if you do, don't decide to just punch straight out the top of it, which adds a couple of grades and no bolts. That got the heart going.

Guide says 18. There are two bolts with hangers then it reverts to naked bolts, which is incredibly stupid. Whose stupid idea was that?
