Ascents by Ashley Moore having Distinct route

TR. Worked out a 'short person's method' for the dyno. Got both hands onto the ledge, but couldn't stick it. Getting there. (Warren cleaned it!) 27/6/04: Toprope. Couldn't stick the dyno.

Top rope

Just made it. Slight chance of minor rope assist, so I'll have to go back to do it super-clean. 3/8/04 Still dogged it, but 3 times now. 27/07/04: Got up twice, dogging it both times. A good workout.

Couldn't get passed the high reach gaston.

Could not get the large horizontal crack hold

Cleaned it. 3/8/04: Dogged the crux

Top rope. Couldn't even do the first move of the crux section.

20/7/04 Cleaned it. 9/6/04: Took 2 rests. Next time...

Ramon put up the rope. I got it with a bit of rope assistance after a couple of falls.

Warren led it first. Found it hard for the grade.

Susy led. Very short sport climb involving lots of abs. Will do it clean next time.

Still can't get it, now I've just got the reach for the vertical slot to perfect. Done it many times before with falls. But did it with only 2 falls first go on this night. Couldn't improve on that with subsequent attempts. Very pumpy.

A soft 22

Pete & Richie simul-2nd. Easy but a bit run-out.

Dogged it first go. Then did it clean once I knew the moves. Sustained.

Figured it out, after a rest. 3/8/04:Top rope. Very balancy. No idea how to complete it.

Easy until nightmarish final overhang

Cleaned it going straight through the corner, which seems like the better way. 6/7/2004:Finally cleaned it, twice after trying for a year. Used the drill hole to the left.

Found crux corner very difficult

Supposed to be a one-move-wonder but I found about 2 or 3 tricky moves. Requires interesting technique.

Great fun climbing up a tufa then super easy

Nice moves, but not easy in the humidity.

Got up by going off-route. Couldn't clean it on-route.

Finally cleaned it

Great little crux. Almost cleaned it but got out of balance and fell. Got it after repositioning.

Woohoo, finally got the redpoint! My first bit of climbing 'improvement' in eighteen months. Not too bad a climb.

Got it onsight.

Good but short. Tried to onsight lead, had to bail, then 2nded it with a rest.

I think this is the one I did. Warren told me it was grade 20, wouldn't have done it if I knew it was 22. Nice balancey moves.

Warren led with some falls.

2nd then red pointed. Great thin slab reach up at crux.

Suzy G led. Janette & I top roped.

Suzu G led. I top roped it then redpointed. Technical with mildy pumpy exit.

up to the cave.

Dan led it. I TRed.

Tried to led, but bailed as I couldn't commit to the runout crux. Dan led it and I TRed

Finally got it! Seems easier now that it has fixed hangers. 26/10/03: 1 fall

After many attempts at the crux, I finally did it. Clipped into a bolt while waiting for some nuts I forgot to be sent up the rope. Does that ruin the redpoint?

Adam led.

Adam led.

A good variety of moves reqd

2 rests

Fell near the top. I need some stamina

Took some rests. Mostly psychological

Warren led it first. Possible to do it without too much grunt if you watch your feet.

Led after toproping. Fun, but a one-move-wonder.

Led it, thought it was easy, until I discovered that I'd done a link up with the climb to the left, that avoided the crux. Did the proper climb and needed 2 rests.

Thin crux. Got left hand in right hand hold, but eventually managed to sort it out.

Very thin. Well named.

18/07/04: Led all pitches, missed a belay and had to downclimb thru crux. 8/11/03: Led crux pitch, 2nd the rest.

Really only 1 interesting move. Well bolted.

Finally got it! Still with a bit of difficulty. 8/2/05: Fell twice at crux, got ropeburn on back of knee.
