● Strictly From Nowhere
Nov 1, 2026 · Lead / Redpoint. With Reka. I kept more right like the guidebook says. Low down, it’s fine, maybe even a little more 5.7? High up, nah, it sucks. I think moving onto the face after a few moves is way better! Less ledge fall risk. I forgot the crux gear was .3 and .4 (though .2 and .3) and forgot to save a 0.4. Oops. I got a bomb 0.3 behind a constriction in the roof. And a mediocre 0.3 to the right of it Down low the gear was less sparse than I’d remembered, but also the ledge fall risk is pretty bad

● Lakatakissima
Nov 1, 2026 · Follow. Followed Reka on P2. Fun climb! The roof was surprisingly harder than I expected. Some loose blocks above and below the roof were not inspiring. The top was quite dirty.

● Directississima (aka Doubleissima)
Nov 1, 2026 · Follow. Reka lead both pitches, linked. I fell many times, partly due to pump, partly to recover gear This thing was cool, but really hard. The holds are often mediocre and it’s sustained and overhanging. The feet are mediocre as well. Pulling off the ledge was surprisingly difficult, then there’s a crux section with a finger lock against a loose block (yikes). After that it eases up but the pump clock is going and the holds aren’t great. Eventually you hit the roof — a fingerlock on the left or a huge throw gains a jug After the roof, the angle lets off enough that I could rest on the wall Great climb. Unbelievably sustained and pumpy. The crux moves weren’t really that hard — just hard to keep going

● Moonlight
Nov 1, 2026 · Lead / Onsight. Reka lead P1, I lead P2 Up to the traverse is chill, maybe 5.3. Gear before the traverse is pretty hollow sounding. There’s a manky pin and a fixed black tricam. Then no more pro until it’s over. It would be a nasty swing A #3 can be placed after the traverse but it needs to be back-cleaned or quad-extended. The rope line needs to go on the right side of the corner The crack after the traverse is nice Cool climb. Don’t think I want to do it again — falling at the traverse would be nasty

● No Picnic
Oct 10, 2026 · Lead / Redpoint. With Artem. Couldn’t get any HBs in the roof crack; I guess you need the straight nuts (or maybe it’s just garbage idk). Put a mediocre offset cam under the roof, a yellow totem below that, and a bomb 0.75 by the sidepull jug Above the roof the pro is garbage until the overhang is done — rock is quite marginal
