Ascents as various tick types by Ryan Gaskon

Softy but a goody. One tricky sequence

Good fun! Definitely overgraded

First three quarters is great. Last section not so much. Beware of much looseness

Honestly a fantastic grade 17 but for some sketchy moves down low on a loose block

tricky, crimpy moves at the start, good balance required. gets easier about halfway up

straightforward climbing up good holds until the 1st FH, tricky but fun slab moves afterwards

finally made my way around to get on this. definitely lives up to the hype!

Fun route! Finishes far more quickly than you’d like

Mega! Crux is having enough left in the tank to keep holding on after placing the gear

Really fun movement in the first half. Shame it’s not more sustained

Intense!

Smooth moves with good gear where you need it. Two balancey cruxes

Pretty contrived, but good climbing nonetheless. Bomber gear the whole way up

Is it an Onsight? Is it a flash? Is it a red point? Who knows, life is all one big mess anyway. Fun enough, but not as sustained and full value as ODH

Awesome, flowing grade 18 weaving back and forth around the arete until the final crux. Marred only by some suspect rock in places and some dicking around at the anchor if you don’t want to haul up double ropes through that top crux

Actually really enjoyed this. One tricky move

Might be 21 in primo conditions and a 7 foot wingspan. I had neither of those. Unless I missed an obvious hold, the moves between bolts 2 and 3 felt absolutely nails. Raptures of the Steep is easier

Weird moves

First boulder I ever did out here!

many attempts were needed

Fond memories of working this thing in 2013/14 as my first time climbing outdoors as a fifteen year old. Cycling out to the crag at sunrise with no rope, gear, nor any idea what I was doing

Stiff top out

This thing pushed me to my trad onsight limit. Had to work harder for this than many higher grade trad routes I’ve done
