5.5 5.7 | ★ Dancing Sasquatch - with Allen | 80m, 21 | Average | |||
Led pitches 1 & 3. Felt quite over graded, particularly when compared to Le Soulier at the same crag. At one point I could literally touch 3 bolts at the same time on P3 😂. Definitely great for a beginner lead but otherwise uninspiring.
|
||||||
5.8 5.6 | ★ Le Soulier - with Allen | 90m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Alternated leads with Allen, I led P2 & 4. Pitches 2 and 3 were the most fun. 4x 25m sport pitches as per the updated tabvar beta.

5.7 | ★★★ Joy - with Lisa | 610m | ★★★ Classic | |||
A never ending slab in an incredible position. Some excellent lay back moves for a sustained period around half height were great. Lots of loose rock but mostly avoidable. We climbed it in 10 pitches on 2x 60s with some soloing at the beginning. The 3rd gulley scree ski descent is the way to go... So quick. Highly recommended.

Decent route in a nice position. Ran pitches 2-3, 4-5, and 6-7 together. Pitch 8 was pretty contrived. One move then a walk off. Could easily just walk off around climbers left instead.

We climbed this as an off route self sandbagged first pitch of Banished. Whoops 😂

20 | ★ Banished For Infidelity | 170m | ★★ Very Good | |||
A fun adventure. Much more enjoyable than what some comments had us expecting. We mistakenly climbed Into Darkness as the first pitch 😁. Avoided wasps on the second.
3rd pitch was nice and exposed exiting the cave. I thought I had it in the bag but celebrated too soon... Dogged it a bit at the end. 4th pitch 17 variant was pretty good too. Some loose rock on the last pitches but avoidable with care.

Fun adventure route. Linked pitches 2-3,4-5,6-7. 9 was the standout pitch for me, great moves up awesome grippy rock. Even got a pink tricam in which was the highlight of my day 😁. Despite taking a full rack we only used a few cams, a couple small nuts, and the odd slung shrubbery to reduce run out fear.

Climbed it in 6 pitches with Lisa. The wind got up on descent (we did it in 5 raps with double ropes) and made rope management quite problematic. Some loose rock but most can be avoided. A very nice spot and a fun easy day out.

Did the 6 pitch option of this epic new route with Lisa. Well bolted and lots of fun. Some care needs to be taken with loose rock, but this will clean up with future traffic. I can't wait to come back next spring to do the whole route.
