May 14, 2025 - Manyata reopened.

Two weeks ago, I spent a whole session trying the upper part of "Manyata", starting from a pile of stacked crashpads, but I couldn't figure it out and was unable to do it. I had given it a break since then, but this evening after work, I decided to go back and try the upper part again.
After some time, I was finally able to figure it out and was able to do the upper part. I suddenly felt psyched and realized that it could go.
A few attempts later, from the start, I almost flowed through the moves, executed the upper part nearly perfectly and topped out.
This is the first known ascent since a key hold broke, back in 2016. I really enjoyed the process and am almost sad that it's over. It was a perfect evening after work project.
The direct version is harder and more delicate than the right exit, so I'm giving it 7C.
