Ascents in Playboy Area by Marc

So cold.

In sneakers

Had a cold and a few lingering injuries so came out to get some sun and mainly belay. Got lured into this again. The start went clean, the traverse was awkward, the last face was unappealing. Won't be back on this fella.

A failure to plan is a plan to fail! Know where you're going on the slab as you won't want to hand around for long. Also tricky to clip the first bolt.

Exciting crux through the slab, up to the hallelujah top.

Really wasn't feeling this climb. Cool hard bouldery start, interesting delicate airy traverse, then another face at the end, but all together it didn't feel great to me.

Fun overhang at the end.

Fun climbing with some balancey moves on thin holds.

First 'unsupervised' trad climb. Great route, well protected with nuts all the way up. The slab at the top was a bit sketchy, thought I might end up putting my placements to the test!

First time climbing this in the light. Last two moves very fun!
