Third ascent.

Together with Jernej Kruder we started working on it right away only to find out that the lower part was soaking wet. And this struggle with the conditions continued for almost the entire trip. And as so often it ended up becoming a last day best day kind of situation. A key hold entering the crux just wouldn't dry up so I had to put tinfoil on it to prevent my fingers from getting wet and like this make it somewhat climbable. The ascent was quite epic then. I had my crew of friends there supporting me and cheering and on my first go of the day I stuck my previous highpoint on the absolute limit saving myself through to the saving right hand jug. The last moves to the lip of the wall were thankfully all in control and I got to fully experience the rollercoaster of emotions hanging on the top jugs of Alasha so high above the sea. Definitely a dream come true. What a King line! [2]

Second ascent?

Climbing Inconvenient Roof was probably one of the best moments I've had deep water soloing so far. Complete focus, full throttle, but also pretty much at the limit.
