Ascents in The Frontline by Chan

A little pumpy but not very interesting.

Literally just reach for the top-out and pull yourself up. 🤷‍♂️

I realised my previous "attempts" at this were actually just an alternative beta for Golf and not this route at all. Fun, sketchy top-out.

And that's all it took haha

Very tenuous transition to Eastern Bloc Arete.

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

All about the feet.

Really fun moves all throughout this.

Finally!

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

Scary top-out.

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

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. 🤷‍♂️

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

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

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!

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

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

Satisfying deadpoint, not a V0.

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

Not nice enough for approach shoes. 😂

Need a very specific body position to properly get on the start hold for my beta.

Back to my original beta. 🤷‍♂️

Improved my heel hook greatly and used a different beta in the top half that's a lot easier.
