This is 18 now? Haven't climbed it in a long time, was always the "pumpy 16". 18 seems fair though. Not many rests, quite pumpy though no hard moves. Bit runout on bottom slab. No wonder I was terrified as a beginner back in the day! Good climbing, but if you want closer bolts, just go next climb to the right

Great to get on this classic and lead the whole thing! 2nd pitch not nearly as runout when tou can head round the arete! Last time 70km/hr winds kept me away from all the good holds and chicken heads... this time was super comfy with a carrot just when you need it before the top.
1st pitch can be made better protected, but you might need double ropes to get all the good gear. Easy and obvious climbing though.

We accidentally linked most of this into some of Pretty Boy Floyd. Either way, some very reachy carrots, having to pull on crimps with tiny feet to clip or unclip carrots.. just be aware. If you're 6ft2 you'll be fine. Good if occasionally burly climbing, burly mainly clipping bolts. Think I got it clean after falling at the start...

Cleaning up an old flounder around. Definitely at the stiff end of 17 as some of the holds have snapped or lost edges over time. A worthwhile apprenticeship in slopers, sequences and figuring it all out (still safely) above the bolt. A lot of technique in a short space. Choice of starts: hauling up arete vs crimp traverse in from the 18. About same difficulty.

13 | ★ Pompadour - with Scott Kelly | 15m, 10 | ★★★ Classic | |||
Really excellent at the grade with enough to make you think, but very fair and sportingly bolted for 13 - a 13 that grade 13 climbers will enjoy.
