Ascents in The Balkans as Send by Chan

Finally!

Really fun moves all throughout this.

All about the feet.

Crossed into Hotel a little bit but the route doesn't say it's off and they're jammed up next to each other so it's hard not to. 🤷‍♂️

Sent it left to right. All it cost me was a chunk of by pinky finger. 😬

Moves weren't as big as advertised. Fun though!

Scary top-out.

Very tenuous transition to Eastern Bloc Arete.

And that's all it took haha

Well that's much, much easier when pushing with my right foot up high instead of trying to toe hook.

Yes!! First time I've ever used a full crimp legitimately. Also had a fun crossed-arm beta that was probably really poor form. 🤷‍♂️

Heel hook let me transition my left hand up higher. Walk in the park from there. 👌

This climb has 3 important and really fun moves, very good!

Finally!! My own beta too. 👌 Getting to the second crux for the first time, was a lot trickier than I thought and incredibly slopey.

Powerful first move to get my foot up on the ledge, then it was easy (albeit exposed) sailing.

But of a sketchy top-out, really needed to scrabble around for holds at the top.

Satisfying deadpoint, not a V0.

Not nice enough for approach shoes. 😂

No idea why I couldn't send this last time! Definitely a V0.
