Ascents as trad by Marek

P1 & P2 - Seconded both pitches clean in approach shoes with a backpack. Bailed as there were 3 of us and we couldn't be bothered fucking around in the dark!

What an adventure !

Some great rock features and sustained all the way. Definitely want to try and tick this next time.

Beautiful slopey orange slab/face start that I climbed through no problems. The powerful pocket moves defeated me, even after numerous attempts. Finally, the crimpy slab finish was rad and I did it clean. All up superb climbing.

Great climb up an interesting arete with a few balancey moves.

Sometime in 2011.

Could manage all the moves but couldn't link some of the harder crux moves. Great climb to project. More warm-ups before this next time.

Attempted another 25m of climbing (was about 22) which I dogged. It is a new 40m 26 with the first 20m being 22. Too juiced but another great climb to repeat next time.

Enjoyable climbing with jumbo sized pockets up high.

Thin slabbing is great.

The trad start going up crack was really nice but again, the steep pocket moves got me. Damn hard through the bulge. Finished the rest of the climb (slab) on the sport version on second.

Another fun repeat.

Another fun repeat.

EOD in the blasting sun! Sweating like crazy but great climb with lots of exposure! Some big moves along the way too.

Some good quality moves throughout the climb. Done as a sport route.

Nice solid layback moves on this climb!

Repeat.

The sea of pockets made this climb really cool.

Quality of rock is great. One thin move on this but not an issue with good footwork.

Another fun repeat.

Jumped on to the jug from the ledge. Very interesting moves and a solid climb the whole way!

Crimpy slabbing on superb rock.

After scrub bashing from another climb on Thunderbird wall this was a good climb to go on to get back up.

Seconded this to get out of Windjammer. About 21/22 3/4 of the way and then crazy hard. Still managed to do all the crux moves but broken down with many rests.

Cool climbing alongside crack using jugs.

Short, sweet overhanging fun!

Onsight solo. It's basically a steep hike!

Onsight solo. A couple of weeks ago.

Nice climbing up the crack and a one move wonder near the end. Nothing special!

Climbed this one down and up for access to the crag.

A great climb with with a bit of stemming, jamming and crimping.

Fun lay back corner to finish day off.

My first trad lead. Apart from one dodgy cam placement, the rest was firmly in place. And could have put one or two more pieces of gear just before the end. Nice corner.

All you need is one knot!

Onsight solo. A couple of months ago. Nice corner!

P2 - Short corner crack! A couple of weeks ago.

In 2013.

I need to practice jamming!

Such a cool climb with a few punchy moves down low and a tricky part at the end that gets you thinking.

A varied mix of slab, jamming and lay backs makes this a really interesting climb. Done on pre-placed trad gear.

With Paul. Pitch 1 - Second Clean, Pitch 2 - Onsight, Pitch 3 - Second Clean.

Pitch 2 was definitely the highlight of Comyn's. Delicate, balancey friction slabbing all in the feet. I really enjoyed the first few moves of this pitch.

Nice climb to start the day.

Nice climb to finish the two day Pt Perp trip off with. There is a cool move at the crack feature halfway up the climb.

Stemming and a few lay-backs along the way. Fun climbing with many interesting moves!

At a certain point on this climb, about halfway, I started traversing along these small holds instead of reaching up a little higher to a large jug which I didn't notice. Also broke off a hold.

Another repeat. Reachy moves to pockets.

Second only crack climb. Practice, practice and more practice!!

End of day exit route from Windjammer. Practiced a bit more jamming this time.

Good crack!

Nice moves up the crack and definitely a worthwhile climb.

Plenty of jamming = fun!

Onsight with pre-placed gear. Almost came off the finger lock up high but fought it out. Cool technical climbing the whole way.

Didn't put much gear in because it was too easy but nevertheless a great climb for learning trad.

Quite enjoyable laybacking up the crack. I completely fucked up the trad anchor though! Now I know for next time.

With pre-placed gear. Nice climbing but I still need to practise crack climbing a lot.

Second ever trad lead! Introductory climb to Araps. P1 - Onsight, P2 - Onsight (barefoot) and P3 - Second clean (barefoot).
