Ascents as Lead by Maximilian W M Keatinge

Clipped jakob-placed draws on the way up, such a nice crack!

Great 4hr 15m from bottom to top w 10m lunch break, about 1hr in, 40m walk out. Found third pitch to be a wee trying for the slightly shorter josie. loved pitch 2's weirdness. pumped out on pitch 7, lucky there are loads of great no-hands rests!

sweet pitches, few less holds than before, still holding it's own, great lookout and cruisy climbing. top crux still got my buddy.

Walked along the wrong ridge from P3, should have gone from P2, walked towards the lookout, taken the faint left into the gully, through the river east out onto lunch ledge until 2 RB's are found on the left underneath a cavern, these are the easy rap in points, don't pull the rope up if it still has a knot in the end! We almost had to climb back up here because of this! Rap in, walk down and around the rock, along a little way and then back up to a ledge to begin a brilliant slog! So much brilliant climbing, tough first move up to a slabby tricky 3rd pitch, a hulking 6th & 7th pitch to easily finish with a traverse and a view! Great day out. Making sure the second rope came out with us was definitely the bane of the climb.

Good arete and traversy move to find-a-hold slab

Nice moves after cripiness

Great long climb on a crisp winters day, make sure you have enough time! Attempted the week before, and it got way too cold.

watch out for the big one you can pull off after going over the ledge halfway up.

Bouldery start to good hold and easy up

Forgot safety at the foot.

Pumpy as with a well deserved seat to clip the final RB's! :3

Balancy on ledge

Tricky Fingers & what appears to be broken holds, tricky final moves.
