Starting up pitch 2 of Diedro UBSA. Those first 3 or 4 pitches were really polished and super slick esp. in the hot and humid conditions (Sept. 2017).

Leading the 6th and crux pitch of Diedro UBSA. Here’s the key beta: aim for that lower/smaller (dark) roof, clip a bolt there, move down a foot or two and make an exit move to the right. Pretty hard climbing we thought (Sept. 2017).
