Has End of the Affair had a second ascent yet?
caffs excellent blog on Choronzon for background
Steve McLure has done Choronzon ...
Maybe he's not trying problems from the correct start and when being asked why says the first move feels impossible that way! Is this the same guy that did Fatman without any holds in a session? But if he is then it's a good trip indeed!
... there’s lots of really hard, run-out obligatory climbing...It’s crazy, you never have a good hold, it’s always a really nerve-wracking game of balance, of unperceptible sensations, of tiny body movements that make all the difference...Marc and I agree on the following for the five pitches: 7b+, 8a, 8a, 8a, 7b+. But as I mentioned, don’t be fooled by the grades on paper, as soon as you start up Hannibals Alptraum you enter a completely different dimension
Looks like Robbie Phillips has made the 2nd ascent of Dave Mac's Project Fear.
Nina Caprez and Marc Le Menestrel repeat Hannibals Alptraum in Rätikon
After two really relaxing days at home we returned to Hannibal on Thursday. This time conditions were great and Marc was super motivated! We still had to remove all the gear from the belays and take out the quickdraws, and this was reason enough for Marc to lead it all. And, would you believe it, he climbed all 5 pitches without a single fall! What a technical master!
