Ascents as various tick types by Jason Nguyen

Placing draws for Van and Caitlyn

Repeat, warm up

Via the new (to me) direct start, only placing first two draws (after Jack did the OG start)

Honestly not too bad, nice little warm up.

Started up direct, but got scared and just started traversing and kind of ended up on this line?

Nice climbing, 50m rope leaves plenty of rope spare

Repeat, nice

My 10th lap of this, and it had to be with Ben - BEN TEN!

Lead 1/2/4/5 Exited on Left 17 variant

Rpt, the only free route on this side of the wall

9th lap, nicer than walking out! In the dark, led p3 and p5 (left variant)

Alzheimers onsight! 10+ years later. Felt much harder than Little Red Riding Hood. No necessarily hard moves but the pump steadily builds!

Placed 26 pieces of gear adding to the pump and making Jacks top out harder, doubles .5 to 2. A single 0.4 & 4, set of BD wires (10), two chickenhead slings and small totems (4).

Carried 2 3s to the top but didn’t use them. Left them at the crux for Jack!

Bit scared at the start on the small gear but settled after a 1/3rd or so.

I must say, I like this more than the direct version! I came here to climb trad after all 🤷‍♂️

It’s definitely much easier and extremely pleasant! Plenty of great holds, moves, good protection and epic position! Another point perp arete ticked with whales frolicking behind me😍

Struggling for comments at this point

Reachy start, very slabby

Following Jack end of day; the start was nails for 17 !! (in the dark with a head torch)

There’s a nut stuck in one of the cracks, spent some time trying to get it out but that ain’t going anywhere. (How did you even get that in there mate?)

Jack had a monstrous run out from that nut (just after the second last bolt) to the last bolt where he decided not to place any of his double rack of cams. Dumbass. 😂

The arete at the top was bloody marvellous, didn’t expect to be pulling those kind of moves on a 17, so damn awesome.

Very keen to try the original during the day and compare.

Finishing up left 17 variant; taking caitlyn up her first blueys multi

Nicest easy route here

Awesome looking line! But just average climbing.

Not as easy or as nice as I remembered!

eod lap

Compulsory jamming to pull some of the moves; and was super stoked to have pulled it off. Harder than Eternity.

Ran out the entirety of the off-width / chimney section after not being able to find a placement. (It was there and obvious apparently).

The #4 I plugged in after run-out felt incredible. 11 cams. I'm glad I had extra #2s though! Lots of shuffling on this.

Linked pitch 1 & 2; got spooked at the start of the layback (and down climbed some of it). Had to wait around for a bit until I psyched myself up and ran up it!

Rested for a while with some odd knee-bar, head-jam before the roof; then pulled the moves so quickly I can't remember what I did...

9 cams; 3 on pitch 1? Much better than my 20 pieces on Eternity!

I don't like this one

Mileage

Apart from Leaping Shortarses; I have now done the whole wall!

My hardest tick today!

Something like this line?? Lovely day!

Had bolt plates today, so why not? Would be more popular if it had rings for sure.

Up then down climbed, cleaning seemed annoying if I were to lower

C-c-c-cold warm-up lap! Better than I remember?

Repeat

Freezing. Repeat

Ah, forgot I had done this one before.

A tough 17! repeat

Repeat, best easy route here

Not a fan of this wall; but it's easy I guess...

Bit of a reachy move at the start, and some dodgy rock towards the top, tread lightly

Awkward start, felt a little desperate. Cool piton! Still pumped senseless from Judas...

Clean repeat.

Pretty sure I did this... Bolts all over the wall! Pockets down low, balancey towards the middle-top (but jug haul in the last 2 metres) and has a bit of everything!

Repeat, pleasant and easy climbing after the rooflet (which is fun!) Brought first timers out and thought this route would be a good top rope!
