One third of the pitch was full verglass, which meant armbaring, stacking and kneelocking in ice.
The cams kept tracking out and the only way to keep them in was point the stem at 90 degrees to the crack (rather than stem pointing down), so the lobes would engage on the 6 inch of outer crack which wasn’t iced. Definitely a tricky set of scenarios to overcome this one… | Posted on 11/Feb/2023 00:43:05
