Gilgamesh
Nov 22, 2024 · Lead / Pinkpoint. Belayed by Paul Poulet. One year after trying it for the first time with Oli. Second try on the last day of the trip! BETA ALERT: (I'm 6 ft 1 and my hip mobility is kind of bad.) I spent many many tries trying to figure out how to reach the crux pocket above the end of the tufa. At that point, the route felt like a 12c or even harder. Eventually, I managed to place a heel hook on the far left of the shelf (the flat part that is really chalked and where some people rest). It allowed me to reach the pocket with my left hand, almost effortlessly. With this new beta, the route's grade now feels a lot more accurate.
