23 Smegadeath - with Matt Miller
1 23 Sport lead by Ben Hanley

Didn't read the description and started up a difficult face rather than up the easier corner crack. Sustained technical face climbing with a few good resting positions lower down. Battled some severe rope drag up high.

A tough mantle move then easier face climbing above

Thin face gradually heading out to some fun arete climbing in the upper half

Technical and reachy face climbing. Ended up not being quite as difficult as it looked to be from base.

Heading out the roof was one of the wilder positions I've been in for a while. Pretty juggy on the traverse and getting around the corner, with easier climbing above.

Amazing route! Easy access and easy walk off. Definitely appreciate the recent rebolt.

Overall pitch 1 felt like the crux of the route, but I can see that pitch 4 would be for anyone shorter than 180cm.
