The Offering, 19 | 19 | 191m | 10 | ||||
Take 10 quickdraws, 1 x 60m rope. Very good to superb quality rock. Scaled, bolted and red pointed by Mt Cook Ski Club.
Start on the right of the arete, some slabby moves left around the corner to good holds. Bypass the first Double bolt anchors to a large ledge.
Straight up ridge on low angle terrain
Step left onto face, good climbing on good rock.
Great face climbing, with a steep finish on juggy holds
An impeccable pitch on 5 star orange slab, move left off the belay to gain the slab, move upon rails over the small roof, amazing moves and the pitch isn’t over continous grade 19 to the anchor.
Climb up and left around the roof on good holds and side pulls, continue up thought provoking climbing with multiple crux sections.
22m, 7 Bolts, grade 18. Great climbing on a prominent aret / hanging block, steep off the block and commit to the roof, climb up and left to break the roof, easy climbing to the top. |
