Absolutely buggered when I tried this. So much fun though!

14 Bacchus Trad 23m Classic
Bridging, few little insecure bits. Had a bit of a mental wobble placing the small gear while bridging. As good as easy corner climbing gets.

14 Moll Trad 25m Average
I didn't mind some of the climbing, but there's loads of loose rock - some of it in very dangerous places. There's a massive boulder chock stone which forms the crux, and potential death if you crank it onto your head.

Won't be repeating this one. Deserves an 'R' rating.

14 Baby's Bottom Trad 8m Very Good
Packs some real difficulty into the bottom few metres. Then it's cruisey. Nice moves!

14 Toilet Bowl Sport 12m, 4 Very Good
Only thing left to climb in the rain. What a gem of a climb at this grade. Beautiful rock.

Nice little lead.

Short Cool Ones Wall
14 16 Proven Guilty (PG) (Proven Guilty) Mixed trad 100m, 2 Very Good
Deserves a star. Cool face moves and pretty good protection. Delicate footwork.

I think it could be 15. Mr Carter must have been a wizard on the slab with some of these original grades.

Either it's not 14, or the other stuff here should be graded harder.

14 C.S. Concerto Trad 50m Very Good
Did first pitch, then had a scare and bailed with an inventive traverse and scramble.

14 Electric Lead Trad 26m Very Good
Nice climb, but not very sustained. Crux moving through crack held me up for a moment. Took wrong size cams.

 
Mon 27th Apr 2015 - Mt Tibrogargan
Desperation Wall
14 Vagabond Trad 150m Average
Led pitch 2 and 4. Not that inspiring. Very runout Tibro slab climbing. Some interesting features - including a super scary, massive, detached flake on pitch 2 and a mini-chimney in pitch 4.

Got off route at the end and linked into final pitch of Orpheus, then traversed left to rap Caves Route.

One of the most memorable climbs I've done. Stunning exposure, interesting, varied and interesting pitches, cool rock, trad. Loved every minute of it.

14 Psychedelic Apricot Trad 15m Average
Weird, awkward start. I didn't enjoy it much, but probably a good Frog warmup in hindsight. Had no big cams. Prospect of some nasty falls was spooky.

Cool little climb. Awesome pockets and cracks to muck around with. Wish it was longer.
