Ascents of Llewdicrous as Hang dog

Cool chimney… felt harder than 18 with the bulge coming out at the feet… but who knows how these things are grades.. ken nailed it!! Great fun

This was totally fucked.

Really hard... but then never climbed anything like this..

Scratchy Chimney. Not a 17 for sure.

Kirsty did amazingly and onsighted this. I thought it'd be a doddle and tried in trail shoes. This was a poor life decision.

Solo'd the first 'pitch', and got assisted being pulled over the lip because I was worried about the sand. The chimney section... Dogged it because my feet felt like DEATH. I thought I liked chimneys, I was horribly wrong. It was the most awkward climbing I have ever done! If you like chimneys, it might be your thing, but in my case, definitely not! Average because I really can't think of what to put it under...

The full range of "route quality" ratings says as much about this old school route as can be expected. For a technical chimney with a hard grade (for a chimney) associated with it, it's absolutely brilliant (Darkside at Pierces Pass is a 14, for a comparison). Why would you get on a chimney if you don't like old-school chimneying? I hate chimneying, and I struggled with a 1m section of it, but for a CHIMNEY its absolutely brilliant!

WIth Susan. Quite awful, not recommended!
