Ascents as various tick types by John Thirlwell

great move to 2nd RB. Fixed hanger is super dodgy, place an extended draw on the BR on Ringo's Revenge for added security

Thin start, but great moves to 1st and 2nd rings

Bit of reach required past the first bolt. Bit chossy making for some feet slipping, heart in mouth moments!

good climbing. thin and reachy down the bottom, mantle move at the top!

Start is very tricky - footholds are now smoother than they would have been - once over the rooflet, it's very easy, but unprotectable climbing up to the next bolt.

thin hold just below top, good feet though

Hard mantle move

Very thin in parts

easy traverse to crux move up to break

thin and sustained, no anchors - have to use Cowgirls

nice moves, good mantle Lower offs in a funny place

Great! Great holds, good moves.

Second pitch is great - reachy.

Tricky start, Crux between 2nd and 3rd BRs

I had to pull on the first draw - fairly strange move otherwise

good fun

v thin in parts, bolts too far apart to confidently lead at this stage

Balancy move near the top

Bit thin at the start - there are good holds to clip from - found them after each clip

Pretty easy for a 19

easy for the grade, nice juggy holds!

desperate finish! Is a grade 20 - the 19 is an average of all grades, and the grade from the guidebook is for the variant finish which is a 16.

aptly named! earned the grade.

Slopey crux

fun, but a little easier than a 19

smeary!

Great exposed, slightly steep arete. On grade at 19.

harder bouldery start than the 18, continuously worrying about which holds are going to break or not

One big reach - hardest move moving right a bit once on the slab

Good fun, interesting toward top

Great, v fun.

bit slippery in the wet, has good moves

reachy move, then dodgy holds to clip the top rings - there is a good handhold over the top

Finished in the rain. A great climb

Easy for the grade - the top moves are just awkward - surely there is a better way to climb it than how I did. And somebody has left some obscene drawing in the cave.

Little bulgy in parts - good fun.

Need to learn to jam more confidently before I lead this

Led P1, 2nd P2 ad P3 - P2 interesting in the rain, hand traverse interesting with big undercut

Good slab, then easy roof move on nice positive holds

This climb has everything except a roof! Starting in a crack/offwidth/chimney, onto slab, then finishing up overhang.

nice moves

Nice route

pro down low is a bit dodgy

Tricky in middle on slopers

Great start, then fun up the arete

Excellent - several good moves strung together

very nice

Climbing in the wet - mega pumped from trying not to slip off!

great fun

Thin start, quite shaky clipping final BR before top-out! Final BR has thicker shank - need to place 45 degree bolt-plate rather than a 90.

one big reach.

jump start!

Tricky move across 1st BR

slabtastic!

Awesome! I led the 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th pitches. Found the 2nd and 6th the most difficult - wet pocket on the 2nd, and had a mega-pump on the 6th.

Would be a classic if it were longer

very good, bit tricky with numb fingers!

Wierd crux - there is a huge amount of chalk around the crack, so I headed up there, but it was proven to me that it isn't needed

slab climbing at it's best

more interesting than Duncan

nice rooflet pocket
