Ascents of Thruxton having Beta

My bread and butter, so good even as a warm up!

Soft for the grade, if you've done gates of janus you can easily send this

Again, felt a little softer than 19 to me. Brilliant hand crack climbing!!

Nice straightforward corner crack with good stances

Easy 19, but fun! Nice jams

Felt about the same difficulty as gates of Janus

Thin hands layback good gear. Things start getting tricky once you run out of features on the face. Good fun!

top rope after leading Vincent next to it as they share anchor chains. Classic corner, can mostly be jammed, probably soft for 19

Very fun, pitch one only..

Maybe pumpier than the 21. But it went fine

Fun little day of repeats

Might be soft, but still my first trad 19

One rest. Nearly got it clean. Needs about 4x #1 cams.

Another nice climb in this area. Very good pro.#0.5 to #1 cams if I recall correctly.

Really fun. Just did pitch 1.

honestly similarly as challenging as vincent - so who's grade is wrong? let's say this one, please? i guess it was a flash bc i looked at it coming down from thruxton, but totally ignored the fact that it's red c4s the whole way - does that make it an onsight? again, please?

Splitter town with Tommy take. Great line

My first REAL trad route and I love it! Frigging nice line!

Bit dirty at the start, but great layback crack up higher

Enjoyable mix of jamming, layback and stemming with solid great the whole way.

My second 19 so happy to get this, I remember I top roped this right before rona and happy to lead this fairly comfortably now. Cool moves at the roof and I used a fun combination of crack climbing, stemming and laybacking.

Heaps good corner with some bomber jams, good warm up for the vincent

P1 only, P2 looks a bit vegetated. Really great, love the layback/jams/corner swim

Sweet layback crack

Lead first pitch on preplaced gear, spicy layback!

Flashed on pre placed gear

P1 only

sweet little corner! perfect hand jams for me, so it felt pretty solid

Gave the calves a workout by "JamB and stem (on literally nothingness)" rather than choosing to "layback and swim".

To make the most of the good rock, 3 x #0.75 and 2 x #1 camalots would have saved the legs from working like a sewing needle whilst on the crux I tried to place a desperate #0.3 in the sandy rock at full arms reach, despite of having the most perfect rock of one could ask for right in front of my face.

Gear recommendation (subjective):

1. 1 X #0.3 (just in case you would also like to have the same experience)

2. 1 X #0.5

3. 3 X #0.75 (if choose not to have the same experience)

4. 2 X #1s

5. 1 X #3s (There is a perfect wire placement, if that stuff tickles your fancy)

Mojo dilemma: Layback or stem? On this route, its as arbitrary as La Sportiva or Scarpa.

Sweet as. Very clean at the moment, get on it to keep it this way!

Great corner crack which is super clean. Thin hands most of the way with a rooflet to keep it interesting. Louis did a mega linkup "Thruxstar", and definitely would recommend although probably watch out to minimise rope drag.

It looked like a 14 from the ground and the guide but wasnt, we were on the wrong route. Chose to retreat instead of suffer in the heat

Good fun getting back above gear, nice cruisy layback to start a short and hot day!

Awesome corner with bomber gear the whole way (Pitch one only). Done in solid rain and a bit of hail which made the smearing a lot more sketchy.

sent this after ken got halfway and whipped the crack is super clean at the moment get on it!

Long laybacking with a few jams. If you can keep going its not too bad for the grade.

A nice easy layback climb! Not very many footholds when you get up high! Smear city!
