Ascents in East by o_g

First pitch only. Good technical stabbing, with enough stances to allow for reading the route. 70m rope with belayer on ground get climber back to the belay on the low ledge.

Well conceived route. Really good mixture of steep and technical climbing. Unusual number of positive incut holds for Bare Rock. Tough to clean while lowering. Probably better to climb again on top rope to clean.

Second pitch is pretty cool. Awesome jam crack, then technical bridging up two corners. Dan did a good job leading, even if he had to resort to aiding the jam crack section using crack gloves.

Always good value.

Great climbing, deteriorated a bit towards the top.

Felt great putting the gear on. Then just failed to execute.

Almost time to start repointing.

Well worth doing. After the first pitch it's interesting technical steep slabbing. There is some loose rock, but it's a 100m multi pitch. Of course there is going to be some loose rock!

Awesome long and sustained pitch. Didn't feel difficult for the grade, really clean and quality rock.

Wow. Got spanked on the start. Some combination of me being crap, and having to yard on small holds at the end of a weekend of yarding on small holds meant it wasn't going to happen. Ground to a halt at bolt 2.

Needed a couple of committing deadpoints to holds that needed to be good.

Some ground fall potential getting to bolt two.

Terrifying to think this would have been done ground up insight for the fa.

Another route that could only be better if it were longer, and it doesn't feel short. Sustained and sequential thin face climbing the whole way. Had three goes and my tips are still sore two day later. Awesome.

I don't drag the mega classic rating out often. This route is close to perfect.

Had three goes. Can do all the moves, but will be a struggle to link them. Steeper than it looks, and really technical where the angle eases. Not a lot of positive hand and footholds. A fine challenge.

Grabbed the anchor draw to clip.not my finest hour.

Had a look at the start. Couldn't quite stick the move to the fingerlock, but close enough to think it will go when fresh.

A stick clip was the key to sorting out the slab. The climbing gods allowed me to keep my bail biner from a previous retreat. Fell off the last move on the rail first attempt, and came increadibly close to melting of the same place next go. For me getting established on the slab is best done by climbing left of the bolts. Great climb. 3 stars at any other crag.

Awesome route. Only thing that detracts is it feels slightly contrived not stepping right to get a rest in the crack in a couple of spots. Classic sustained face climbing.

Another bail biner sacrificed to the climbing Gods. Arrived on the slab figuring I'd be able to sort it on the fly. Nope. Need to bring the.stick clip of courage next time.....

Did all the moves, another bloody sustained pitch. Tried to lead it clean, but pumped out. Need to work the rests better.

Climbed it first go today putting on the draws (kept falling of for a whole day last time I was on it). Shows the benefit of being warmed up and knowing the route. Classic climbing, really sustained, and pretty easy to fall of in lots of places.

Worked my way up trying the moves. Can do all the moves on the steep section, but doubt Id be fit enough to link them. Stunningly good climbing. Even get to deadpoint to a fingerlock. Sweet.

Cool climb, sustained face climbing.

Epic granite journey. Ten metres of easy corner to get to the first bolt, then follow the steel and holds untill the holds dissapear into slabville. We rapped of the 2 hanger belay, to the belay on AB, then rapped again.

Crikey. Got sliced by a crystal, but otherwise amazing. Pumped off up high on the onsight, then pumped of a little lower on the redpoint. Pumped off all over the place cleaning on top rope. Pumpy.

The start looks juggy. Its not! Ambush crux. Well played granite, well played.

Felt a bit gritty in spots. Looks like a hold has broken off too.

Sweet delicate sharp arete at the top. Had to yo yo up and down the crux before finding something that would work.

Felt easier with the draws on. Still felt pretty hard pulling around the roof, but unusually for me I actually remembered the foot placement beta. Sweet.

Turned into a dog fest pretty quickly. Managed to get onto the slab before retreating.

To the anchor at half height. Pumpy warm up. Track work meant a walk in with tom via Graceland and Handcocks Knob. I kind of enjoyed the walk.

Lots of shoulder stretching fridge lifting. Ouch.

Second go. Jeez the start is intimidating!

Great line. Glad i wasnt leading.

I thought this was great. Lots of down palming and slabby oozing.

Placed a lot of gear!

Clean, but with an assist from the tree at the start.

Couldnt do move to jug at top of corner.

Good climbing. Sustained and pumpy, with a couple of big holds but no real rests.

With Paul. Nice route. Ive done it before I think.

Tricky getting of the ground, then technical slabing. I wussed out and grabbed a draw. Boooo. Hard for the grade.

Good route. Well worth doing.

Another 2 traxx laps. Knee felt much improved.

Traxxtastic, twice.

A couple of nice moves at the top. Traxx.

Twice on traxion. Knee ok, but didnt really use it too much.

First climb after knee surgery on 20 june. Did it twice on traxion.

Well bolted. Interesting feature. Jeez my feet were hurting though...

Burly and technicaly interesting. Did all the moves, but would struggle to lead it. Tough clips
