Begehungen in The Monument

Couldn't touch the ring lock section. Managed to almost flashed the roof crack section. Epic !

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.

19th try, 5 session.

I sent the "12d" crack leading up to the roof years ago and many times since only to repeatedly fall off the "11d" roof. Finally figured out a good strategy: At the expense of a hand jam rest after the crux, meaty tape gloves gave me a bit more security for the final moves of the roof.
