Ascent Notes for: Te Dum (5.7+) - 5.7 Average Rating : 3.71/5

My leader ran it all in one pitch. Interesting crux. Fun climb. I will go back and lead it.

Did the direct start, and led the entire route as one long pitch. The direct start and the crux both have thoughtful, committing moves, but are fun.

Fun Climb to warm up.

Followed Peter, who connected both pitches.

Tricky finish to P1. The offwidth start to the left seems contrived, but I bet that is how the route goes due to the direct start being wet most of the time. Still, if the direct is dry, do that because it makes more sense and the grade doesn't change.

i loved this climb. climbed with Douglas - i led P1 and he led P2. in retrospect if you have doubles (and are doing the direct start, as described here) just do the climb in one long pitch and dont deal with the awkward belay spot.
i did the direct start which is described here (not the offwidth crack that dick williams includes) which seems more natural for the route. the climbing and pro are interesting and thoughtful throughout the climb. and the crux seems more awkward then it actually is once you commit. great climb!!

Variety of climbing all the way to the top

just did what I assume is P1 (to the tree around the corner).
