Ascents

3 successful ascents recorded.

Climber Style Ascent Date Suggested Grade
First ascent.
Second ascent. Easier than Burden of Dreams.

I have the feeling, Burden of Dreams [the world's first 9A, put up by Nalle Hukkataival] is a bit more difficult than No Kpote Only.

Third ascent.

With climbing shoes and optimized betas, it looks more like a solid 8c (v15).
