That didn't take long!

UK Climbing - Early days on the Dawn wall for Ondra

I would like to emphasize that I am not free climbing everything yet. The goal right now is only to go ground-up to the top, free-climbing and using a little bit of aid climbing, to fix the whole line with ropes and start working on the pitches properly to have them ready for the final free push later.

So if the crux is around the protection, I just touch the holds to see how the sequence would be and continue.

That pretty much summarises my ascent of Andrew's Bulge at Banger.

Pete Zabrok (aka ptpp) used Ondra's ropes in an epic retreat from New Dawn :

"I owe Adam Ondra another beer. His poorly rigged fixed ropes saved our soggy asses."
