Second ascent.

Aid solo.

I made the second ascent solo over 10 days. A phenomenal route. It makes the Reticent and Sea of Dreams feel like A2. It made me realise the limits of what tipped out #1 beaks can hold and had me convinced I wouldn’t be able to make the moves multiple times. Took 4 falls, 2 of which were at least 30ft and one of which was stopped by a hook. There were multiple pitches when cleaning I felt lucky not to have taken even bigger falls. [1]
