Ascensioni in Kazakistan come Red point

First pitch only. Short bouldery crux followed by delicate moves on tiny crimps.

Very happy to get this one after a few falls near the anchor. Despite being somewhat (mostly?) manufactured, the climbing is engaging and sustained. Very worthwhile.

Made sure to eliminate the rib to get the grade. Pretty stoked to do it on the second lead attempt after some toprope sessions. It's a fantastic climb with two demanding cruxy sections that reward good balance, technical tweaks, and strong fingers.

Nice to come back and tick it after one year. 5th pitch is the most enjoyable.

Came back to tick the 2nd pitch.

2nd Go. Weird shouldery crux at the start, lots of stemming after. Closer to 6c than 6b+ with beta I have used. Gardening skills are a must at the top.

Cool weather helps. Feels like climbing on razor blades, but it's a lovely route!

Just as fun the second time round.

Opted out for left diagonal cracks. Wee bit stiff for 6b

Nice route. I always like a hand jam on a sport climb.

Lovely crack. Not as lovely when it's seeping.

Really fun crux. You can climb it in a powerful, or a careful way.

Interesting crux and slightly bold top section. Enjoyable.

Crux can be negated by having a longer reach. Got completely pumped in an unexpected place, luckily found a sneaky kneebar. A decent climb!

Interesting moves, but very sharp.

Last crux is rough for short climbers.

Tricky finish.

Figured out the crux.

Enjoyable stemming.

FFA. Another good route. tricky moves off the ledge. Apparently there was a route here for a mountaineering competition, but everyone bypassed the crux by grabbing the belay, so maybe FFA?

A few nice jams.

A few awkward moves to gain the chimney.

Nice climbing

Not bad
