iansmith
| 1. | I had a clean, if tentative route to 1 while getting into the map. I went low, just left of the swamp, and attacked up the reentrant. | ||||||
| 2. | +00:30 | Slow crossing the stream and getting up the little hill. I had a small hesitation, but was otherwise clean. | |||||
| 3. | +00:20 | North to the big line of cliffs, then up onto the small plateau and into the flag. Small hesitations. | |||||
| 4. | +00:30 | I went right of the marsh and left of the cliff on the line, but I was too high approaching the circle. Seeing the little hills to my right, I pieced things together. | |||||
| 5. | I went past the knoll with the north cliff face and down the spur. Saw Katia ahead of me. | ||||||
| 6. | I went very nearly straight - across the marsh, up the reentrant, past the three cliffs to my left that I used as handrails, and down the reentrant into the control. The vegetation and climb were sluggish, but my route was clean. | ||||||
| 7. | Down the spur; rocky. | ||||||
| 8. | I went right of the big cliffs, left of the marsh just SW of three, and down the spur into 8. It was clean, if perhaps suboptimal. | ||||||
| 9. | I skirted the southern edge of the marsh, then went up the hill until I could see the rock wall to my right. I used that as a handrail into the control. The hill was very slow. | ||||||
| 10. | +01:00 | Leaving 9, I started going to 12 and moved up the hill 10 vertical meters before I noticed my error. Otherwise clean, if somewhat hesitant on my approach. | |||||
| 11. | Straight; I saw the flag from some distance. | ||||||
| 12. | Straight over the hill. My stamina was disappointingly low on the uphill, though I was fast on the downhill section. | ||||||
| 13. | I charged down the hill and attacked via the rock wall junction. | ||||||
| 14. | Straight. | ||||||
| F. | Fast. |
