Ahhh how good have the last 2 climbing days been! Lucy and I started concentrating on 1 day projects and some harder onsighting!
Illiada was our first destination! I finally walked past climb that I knew that I wanted to get on! This steep short roof called Dolonas (7b+) after a couple of really good warmups it was on... There is an awesome cut lose move, thats kinda risky but I was able to stick it first shot! I fell off shortly after and figured out the rest of the beta... On my second shot I had gotten to the last tufa clean, toe hooked and clipped the chains while slipping off the tufa!!! Ohhh such a good route :) Photo below.
Iannis for our second day on. Did some awesome technical climbs that were slightly slabby and required some thinking! Lucy onsighting them all was quite inspiring! Then we got on Tufa King Pumped this 7b+ that looked amazeballs and was amazeballs! Techniqual start then jug haul on mini tufas, cool sequence through the crux and really varied easy jug haul and hand jamming to the end. Lucy put up the draws, then I had a shot and only fell in the crux... and didn't listen to lucy's beta as I was too in the zone. Lucy got on it again and killed it, made everything look easy! Then I finished off the day with a dog fest, I just ran out of energy... then realised we did 150m of climbing today more than any other day here! Heres to a rest day :)
