Ascents as sport by Phil Price

A little more thought needed getting onto the ramp but not too slack a grade at least for my climbing style

Claiming the onsight, though purists may insist I got beta on one hand hold (helpful but I would have found it soon enough)

tricky compressed clip for the third bolt. then the overhang! nice climb

nice climb with one bold clip

nice to be back on the gneiss

Resting while holding on to a 2 finger under cling is hard work. Keept holding on though, completed and felt good for it

Some balance required. Generally very good holds while avoiding being a total jug fest

climbed clean to clear the gear

Hang dogged but only one slip just after the first bolt. Crux went clean

By attempt, I mean I supported my own weight at the base of the cliff. This would have been the hardest climb I had ever climbed, indoors or out and to be trying to lead was probably...optimistic. I say again, no guidebook!

beautiful rock

Bolts felt really spread out. Ok climbing, only I was a little tired after the 9 making life harder

Micro jugs and small high feet. I love this stuff!

Love this rock. Small hands but enough to pull on

Nice climb. Not a sketchy lead just nice moves, clip, nice moves, clip!

Love this climb. Cant wait to lead it when it gets bolted.

I like this. its very unlike the gym

Bit of a spaced out lead for someone of my size. Backed off the lead but seconded happily only do watch all the taller boys and girls walk up it with no problems on top rope. A little discouraging. They could at least make it look like they are working.

Thin slabby shit. Really nice tricky climb though

not pretty but got on top rope of a fashion

tricky little climb at the crux. confused the best of us

Last climb of the long weekend. Tough work especially direct not up the Arête. Glad to have done it though.

Graded in the book as 5.5. Harder than that though as I had to think

FA. Some people have complained the 3-4 bolt is a bit far spaced. Its not.

a hurty finger did not help me climb this well

Bit more of a challenge leading in the wet

HANG DOG. and popped a tendon in my most useful finger. but got it

First ever sport lead fall outside. 5.10b maybe a little optermistic for the warm up climb first outing back from a cracked rib

Committing lead over the roof. Glad I was only on second

Thinly bolted but easy climbing

Not knowing the grade before hand, I thought I'd had a pretty crap lead resting twice on this bad boy

I need to check this is the route I took next time I'm there!?

Small holds and spaced out bolts

top rope for initial bolt placement reconnaissance

In my approach shoes. Makes for a much trickier climb and makes you miss those little edges.

Cleaned after a friend of a friend of a friend failed to pull the moves
