Ascents as various tick types by Ben Jenga

Better than I was expecting for sure. Few too many bolts down low but a fun piece of low angle rock. Didn’t touch the corner.

Access.

Not bad but not great, one pull and a little pump at the top.

Warm up repeat, got pretty boxed at the top.

Booo unticked. Much harder than I remembered and the first time I have ever fallen off. Fitness low

Good to be back. 21

Super last route of the trip. Steep trad. Collected 68 stars on 31 routes in 7 days

Redemption, almost 10 years after I back off it due to wet holds. Felt pretty easy on Paul’s gear.

A great crack that should see more repeats. Don’t worry about the bees, they left us alone. Plugged a few C3’s in the narrow crack for the move then easy jugging to the top

Great long warm up in approach shoes. Lovely rock.

Crazy route in a wild spot. Took a couple attempts to establish on the line including a down climb. Steady climbing with great gear and lots of memorable holds

Just the first pitch to access the ledge. So many crazy holds in one pitch

Another trip objective goes down without too much of a fight. Happy to flash on Paul’s gear. Plenty of different styles on this but the heartbeat on the pod was a bit surreal.

Lap on simo’s gear. He made it look 24 but turns out it is 20 and good chimney practice. Up to the lower off.

Fun but very short. Tricky at the top.

Fun warm up adventure with Mitch. Access pitch and then linked 2nd and third the the top.

Another off the want list. Slick slab made more slick by the down pour mid climb. Glad it dried quickly. Good hear the whole way, but glad we used twins. Did as two pitches

I thought this was great, climbed as one mega pitch with paul

Did it with paul on my rest day. 2 pitch’s Missed the upper chimney and went straight up the face.

No pressure lap on Paul’s gear. Fun enough with plenty of run up top but over good gear. Would be 21 at Shipley with bolts

I worked myself up expecting a solid lead, turns out it’s easy and a lot of fun. So much so I did two laps.

Well I almost fell off the start by jamming the crack instead of lay backing. Great steep corner above

Quick lap on Mitch’s gear, great easy trad route

One of the best routes I did this trip. Both pitch’s challenging my mind and skills. I lead both pitch and got a bit lost up top of the second.

First and third with Mitch. Super rock and a great position on one of the best walls. Loved it. I thought the second pitch was harder than the third.

What a route, full commit fun. Got lucky in a few spots and very pumped by the end of the traverse. Good gear in all the right spots just wish there was move of it

One off the life list. A great challenge in a wild position. Must do.

Great route, I will climb it again no doubt. Keeps you working the whole way with plenty of funky movement.

I have always wanted to do this route, tricker then I had expected

Harder than it looks from the ground but fun enough. The only no star route we did all trip

Took me a couple up climbs to commit to the start, then just hang on.

Tuff at the grade, great route to get into the style. Mitch lead the second pitch

Classic fun, one pitch In approach shoes.

Great to do this again after being rained off 20 years ago.

Good to put to bed a three visit 5. Punted the first, scrapped through on the second. Cool route.

Just two moves really, hard but brief.

Almost pumped off the traverse and had to really hold on to the top. Not the best endurance at the moment.

Bit of a surprise really. Tried the start years ago and couldn’t do it, figured it out pretty easy today, placed the draws and sent second shot. Was really working for it at the top, both arms failing.

Great warm up lap in the sticky wet Connie’s

I feel this is the harder of the two but same awesome rock. The slopes down low are sick.

Cool new route on some of the best rock at the brae. The crux is hard but short so give it a lash.

First lap was a bit of mission finding holds and more importantly feet. Surprised myself with a second shot send. Very boxed at the top. Some pretty sharp and untrafficed holds at the crux but fun sequences.

Second shot today after a refreshing lap. Great route with funky moves and unique holds.

Don’t the warm down I was looking for but great regardless. Almost got rained off the top.

Did this mss flash many years ago, goos to see the grade is correct these days.

Cool 25, I really enjoyed it. Got lucky at the crux with plenty of fun jugs above.

Beta flash placing. Started with second bolt clipped, and first logical holds. Granted this reduces the grade but very contrived forcing the clip as part of the sequence after the Batman start. Fun route, short but sweet

Something different

Retro Onsight, good straightforward crimping.

Pretty fun little route, felt stiff to me.
