19 Octavia - with Brett Williams Trad 30m Very Good
Very traddy and consequently, brilliant. Loved it. Few stiff sections, bit of crusty rock, vibrating blocks, great jamming of all sizes, some exposure and long enough to get right into it. Engaging throughout. Take a no.4 or two and don't leave your micro-cams behind like a did.

19 19 R The Fear - with Mathew from Mathew the Musical fame Trad 47m Mega Classic
Mega classic for the whole experience. Great approach...we didn't read the 'new ladders' beta and ended up descending via the old route until the ladder hanging from the chain was deemed a bit too much. We rapped from a load of rusted metalwork above the rock fall only to work out we'd gone too low after pulling the ropes. We ascended the sketchy bottom ladder climbers right of the rock fall to the start ledge and made our way over. Climb was brilliant...I'd say there are some thin balancy 18ish moves even on the first pitch if you go direct/slightly right past the first good carrot and the whole pitch feels fairly sustained and a bit serious but there's good gear to be had. Both pitches are great in their own way - the pitch two crux off the belay isn't that hard but def feels committing and the interest keeps coming right the way to the top. I lost the Ro-Sham-Bo for crux lead but whichever way around you lead you're in for a good adventure - it's an equal partners kinda route what with serious traverses, chance to be hanging in space and difficult comms through P2. Cheers Mikl for another banger of a route!

E2 5b E1 5b Letterbox/Hangover Linkup - with Ben Trad 16m Classic
Saw my partner take a few whips trying to climb through the crux but didn't gain much beta. I found it fairly steady. Probably E2 5b as a fall from the top part of the crux would leave you pretty close to decking out. Wouldn't extend the crux-protecting spike runner too far.

 
E1 5b E1 5b Haggis - with Ben Trad 15m Good
I went direct through crux bulgewith a big move to good flake left. Apparently slightly right is acceptable as well.

Ran as a oner rather than 2 pitches. Great varied climbing - bit of grunt, jamming, laybacking, bit of slab dancing, bit of steep etc, good gear for most of it. Get your ropes and extenders right and no rope drag to do it as one.
