Ascents in The Monolith

felt extremely difficult and scary without big gear

Bottom part felt quite stiff, I gotta train cracks more.

Some pleasantly pure hand jams

A retreat? on a 7? There's a big spider living just out of the crack at half height on the pedestal. between the options of killing him (unacceptable) or trying to brush him off and ending up with a face full of spider (slightly less unacceptable) I chose to run away bravely. Take big cams, a few #3 and #4 should do it

Hardest 11 I've ever done. Some nice jamming, committing crux to gain mantle on pillar.

surprisingly tricky at the grade

I get why they call it the sausage...

lay back

pretty good

Pulled on, found the gear difficult, and was a bit concerned about dropping onto the block. Opted to place a cam sitting on the rope and start again for a pink point. Enjoyable climbing second time around.

Crimpy, crux at the second clip, 1 massive ring at the top, abseil to clean

Excellent jamming, a shame it's so short

Need to jam

Felt hard for the grade

Sandbagged. Off-width leads to sharp, flaring trench.

Sharp! Wish I'd brought tape gloves. Hand crack to start, then off width up top. Cams to BD #4 useful, though could make do with up to #3. One rest after getting a cam stuck in the way of my jams in the lower section.

Tricky crux, large cam will provide reliable pro at top of climb. Great, thought provoking, fun climb.

Wendy led.

The first few metres are quite hard for a 10 and that chimney finish? Be careful around the chockstones or you might unleash an avalanche of discarded rubbish...

Hurt a lot less with the right hand taped up.

Maybe my crack technique needs work but I found this quite difficult.

Delecate climbing + fiddley protection, good mixture of crack and slab climbing.

More like an 11, mid-large pro

Maybe 14-15, mid-large pro

Good line, nice layback

definitely one for the crack climbers - i struggled

Clipping the 2nd bolt is the hardest part, take double ropes for ease of safe clipping!!

Excvellent sport route, hard last move and hard 1st move

I am not sure but I think It was this climb and it was run out on at times and some very tenious viciousness going on
