Ascents as various tick types by Tristan Baskerville

Really good route. The top section is challenging, but some wide crack skills come in handy. A little sparse on protection in the first 1/3, but there are placements available. I felt I would have been less stressed with 2 #4's. I took 2 of everything from 0.75 up to 3, with one 4, one 0.5 and a set of hexes.

Not sure if we were on the right route. The description is confusing. We were on a sandy wide-ass crack which was awkward and not fun. The belay ledge was also a bit crap.

Really fun route with a medley of different styles/moves. Take a #5 and 2 #2's to make it feel more comfortable.

Got a bit lost and thought we were on voyager (what is an embayment anyway?). Really fun route with great crack climbing.

Felt tough for the grade. Great route and great protection though.

Quite hard for the grade. Two distinct sections. The bottom can be well protected with a #6 Camalot and a #4 Big Bro. The top is sustained, but well protected with smaller cams.

Really good climb, but it was a bit hot, I would probably do it earlier in the year next time.

For the first pitch, the route description seemed to make sense after we had climbed the pitch. The second bolt is after the bully, not before. Climb up to the brambles and go slightly right to get to the gully.

For the 4th pitch, if you get confused as to where to go near the top of the pitch, under a more vertical bit of rock, just keep climbing diagonally up and left, past the last FH until you can see the DBB.

21st shot.

Warming up and also refining some beta for the very end.

Put the draws on, had a shot and feel of at crux. Send on third.

Warm up

Last of the day.

Great route.

Warm up and putting the TR up for Nancy.

Putting on draws and working out the moves. Could not get through the crux and it was sunny, so I came down.

Worked out the move through the crux, was able to get up to it clean. Put the rest of the draws on.

Sent it. I did not think it was going to go this early, but it did. Is this really a 26?

1st and only lead of the day. Fun climbing and not a sandbag.

Feeling a little tired, need to work it more.

Soooo tired, last climb of the day. Needed a rest after the crux.

Tired, tried this after Hybrid.

Workout out how to make this more efficient.

Warm up and putting the draws on for Kirsty.

Putting the draws on.

I am doing something wrong with my feet just after the crux.

Warm up

To clean it.

Putting the draws up and working out the moves.

Clean!

Having a shot at linking sections, felt drained and came down after falling on the traverse.

Warm up

Putting the draws on up to the last bolt.

Access route to Faki

Always fun, although I didn't take the correct gear for the middle section.

Warm up.

A climb to end the day. Needs a proper anchor.

Warm up and remembering the moves in preparation for hybrid.

Tried for a clean run on Wailer, slipped off going for the jug at the end so I decided to go on with hybrid to learn the moved. Did the traverse fairly easily.

I felt like I had been hit by a bus when I got to the top. That offwidth...

A quick run up this to finish the day and earn the beer we subsequently drank.

Warm up.

Another warm up, this time for wider cracks.

Warm down.

Working endurance.

Putting the draws on and remembering the moves.

Got the send. Not sure if this is 26 or just a proper 25. Most likely 25.
