Ascent Notes for: Valhalla - 5.11a Average Rating : 4.60/5

This Journey song should be the theme song for Valhalla. The mental aspect of sticking the moves on this climb is huge!

After the crux, the climbing is super fun with little risk of falling.

P1 was wet, I had to A0 2 moves after the last bolt, then I onsighted P2. Happy Easter

Don't forget long slings for tie-offs and drag management.

Nuben loven, I'l have to come back for more

The crux on the second pitch was pretty hard for me. Climbing the last pitch in near darkness made for an interesting game of "find the bolt".

I'm finally a stonemaster! I swapped leads on this previously, but fell once leading the 2nd pitch crux. However, I came back and styled the hell out of the route as "Team V2" with Michael with a pimp linkup of The Vampire in the morning, lunch in Idyllwild, and Valhalla in the afternoon. What a GREAT fucking day!

The holds around the first bolt on the second pitch has been greased up quite a bit. The rest of the climb is simply high quality.
