TR: Alive in a Bitter Sea (Katoomba Cliffs) 5-Dec-2016 At 10:27:03 AM PThomson

Message

G'day all,

In my latest Blog Update at The Climbing Obscurist I've included a TR about my journey to tick Alive in a Bitter Sea (90m 25 R/X) at Katoomba Cliffs.

From the page, just scroll down (past a section about some new routing I did at Sublime Point East Face) to find the section on Alive in a Bitter Sea.

The Climbing Obscurist: Swansong Part 1 - Journey to a Bitter Sea

I've had some mixed feedback about my approach to tick this route (I fully disclose my tactics in the blog) which is very much a headpoint, though I placed all the trad gear on the Send, so this TR may or may not be a good read depending on your stance on headpointed routes.

Enjoy.
