P3. P4 was painful. P1-3 fun. Med KK & MA. Ropes stuck on rappel x4. Ran out of bewerages.

Med P. Second last pitch is nice climbing. Good times on Baugen!

Med J. My lead on the odd numbered pitches. OS with a small caveat (knew the "reasoning" for the route name). Consensus seems to be N6+/hardish/(?). Quality climbing, easy to read line. Missed the scramble part so next time prolly just rappelling all the way.

Med flu-ridden J. Topo was sold out but had a picture. Single back pack. Double/triple rack of #0.3-2 + a single #3. Could prolly have utilised two. A single 70 m rope, though in hindsight a 60 m would be better. No need for wires. 4.5 l of water in total for us desert rats. A couple of candy bars. Start at 04 am. 16 h climbing, 23 h total with about 5 h hellish descent-reapproach due to missing the red dotted path and spending some time whacking the deep bushes on the slopes too far East. Maybe 4 pitches of honest climbing. A lot less crack climbing than I was expecting. Most of the rest of it is solid one legged squatting up and unendingly manteling sparsely protected slabs the 1125 m route. Due to the slabby and wandering nature the rope drag was at bruise level. Prolly could have shaven 1/3 of the time if the weather wasn't +27 in the shade (which the south pillar does't get a lot of during the day). Do the approach/descent prep! The "50 m of easy climbing to the top" also needs some 15-30 mins of scrambling. All in all quite a dramatic difference coming from an Åland bouldering trip!
