19 | th(rush) — 5 attempts - with Nathan Mas-Stephens | 17m | ★ Good | ||||
So named because of the Grey Thrush nest seen at the ledge during summer inspection, the considerable quantities of adrenalin dumped into my system during the lead, and the singular speed of Nathan's second, which I might have emulated had I not been placing gear to save my eggs in the manner of an incubating thrush.
As far as ticks go I did not dog or haul on gear but I did climb up and down the lower crux 3 times to place gear, sagged once and fell once - an honest trad lead with a fall and a rest. |

Went to check out the moved and found a horrendously sandy ledge past the second bolt. The climbing either side is pretty good.

In the guidebook as 17, it was definitely bold & solid for that grade, 18 is probably closer to it. Easier than Nudity nextdoor... Used one medium cam for the top runout.

6 | It's Crap Ray No.1 - with Restart Rob | 10m, 1 | ★ Good | ||||
What a lovely place to learn the gentle art of trad, which it clearly was long before the claimed ascents of the 90s. In fact squinting hard enough I could see a motley crew of relaxed individuals encamped on the rock we'd dumped our gear on. Beards and cheescloth, worn shorts and skirts, wiry arms and long brown legs. The smell of English Breakfast Tea and bread and butter, cheddar cheese crumbling on a cloth. A choofer gently stuttering, the quieter suckling of a babe at bare breast, the sweet slow skirl of a tin whistle. And distant rude shouts from us teens on the other side: "SRC ... old bumblies .. ah ya turkeys!"
But what a lovely place to swap age and place, and learn the gentle art of trad. |

6 | It's Crap Ray No.1 - with Restart Rob | 10m, 1 | ★ Good | ||||

13 | Not So Crap - with Restart Rob | 10m, 2 | ★ Good | ||||
Great route to learn old school trad, all you'd need is a set of small wires (Superlight Offset Rocks will do everything), 3 cams, 3 slings, 2 bolt plates and 5 draws to do a proper leadout to develop confidence.
