Ascents of Barefoot in the Head

got real scared and bailed onto 80 Minute Hour

Cams?

Great! Bit of down climbing and working out gear.

Started up this as a way to get onto 'The 80 Minute Hour'; put a #3 in the low break then traversed left over 'Pretty Boy Floyd' using the ramp for hands. I finally got my hand on the horizontal break above TEMH direct start and it felt smooth and disappointing. At that point I was already looking at a certain groundfall, but the final traverse moves seemed risky and I wasn't confident locking off while fumbling pro in blind, so I decided to bail instead. Having to downclimb unprotected from there with sweaty hands felt nails.

Exiting for the grade.

We accidentally linked most of this into some of Pretty Boy Floyd. Either way, some very reachy carrots, having to pull on crimps with tiny feet to clip or unclip carrots.. just be aware. If you're 6ft2 you'll be fine. Good if occasionally burly climbing, burly mainly clipping bolts. Think I got it clean after falling at the start...

Yeah - got a bit pumped and wimpy at the crux so had a bit of a rest!!

Beautiful, long, face climbing.

Need to get my head around lead climbing on runout protection. Bailed to save time. Will be back for this!

Probably not the best warm up, fiddled about with tiny gear placements for too long. Extend the carrot anchors at the top for smooth lowering, a couple of 60cm slings weren't enough to extend the master point over the cliff edge.

Didn't realise needed cams - good throw Sam (y)

I really enjoyed this. Great mantle

Worth the journey. Has a few interesting moves

Good fun moves, broken up in sections with good rest, worth a climb!

Really easy at the grade, with 2 hard-ish moves that only just barely deserve the grade. Might be great without the ledges, instead only "alright".

Not the warm up I was looking for but a great route, linked into the top of the climb to the left by mistake.

Sweet climb with nice moves.

=D
