this time sans power scream sadly, even though I promised Ola, J Wiz, and Niesen a show. went rather smooth this time around. super stoked to get this one. a truly stellar route. TO THE DAY OF TICKS!

22 | ★★★ Old Guard - with Ola | 40m | |||||
from a tick on someone's face in the morning, to a down aid gear retrieval mission, to Ola cruising this thing? WHAT A TURN AROUND. to quote Ola, 'the day of ticks'.

My first ever trad lead. Fun and plenty options for placements (even though I ended up running it out a bit too much haha).

Loved it

Struggled to get the left foot placements which turned the desperation knob right up. Nice challenge for a noob like me.

Interesting. Was feeling a little tired for this. Its not 40m. A 70m reaches the ground without needing stretch
|

21 | ★★ Odin II - with Tim | 30m | ★★★ Classic | ||||
Way nicer then Thor. The top actually was way nicer than I had remembered. So pumped

19 | ★★★ Thor - with Tim | 30m | Average | ||||
Not sure what all the fuss is about.
|

22 | ★★★ Yankee Go Home - with Dave, Mary | 26m | ★★★ Classic | ||||
Amazing climb and horrible form from someone at the Odin anchor kicking rocks down. Past the top crux i hear a mild call of rock and look to see a grapefruit sized rock come off the top, i turn and yell "ROOOOCK!!" watching it hurdle towards Mary down below, she ducks and turns her head as it explodes on the top of Warlock ledge in front of her.
He apologised to Mary (unharmed), said he had been trying to untangle his rope from a stick and had flicked the rock off doing so. But if the first rock was an accident and the second was inattention then this third one was just carelessness. So pay attention to the details when you're on the top as much as you do when climbing. |

Was so pumped after lead burn couldn't link the start clean again but have it dialled now with better gear for the top that won't get stuck
|
|||||||
26 | ★★ Wild One - with jamie | 20m | ★★★ Classic | ||||
First red point burn
Was so frustratingly close
About 1m from the flake next to the tree went to plug in a cam Was abit big got it stuck pumped out and fell trying to get it out to replace it
Got some bomber gear in for the bottom on lead which was my main concern but that bit was smooth

Very close now, all moves free/one sit and doing red point attempts. Just need to stick one move and it’s over. Out of skin again, time to wait another week.

Lovely lil bit of climbing, great flow and varied moves. The grade felt a bit soft but I did use the arete on the right which might have been why.

Clean link from finger crack all the way to the end so some decent progression. Rib barely gave any trouble as well! Absolutely zero skin for a Red-Point shot but feels to be closing in.

Blew it in the last 1m. A second small little crux. Very insecure hands and required a foot move I just could not get. Real fun

|
|||||||
26 | ★★ Wild One - with Sam Pearson, jamie | 20m | |||||
First go on this tried the direct beta up the crack and beta pulling around the right side they both go but going direct placing gear is the way to go
|
|||||||
26 | ★★ Chook Fear — 2 attempts - with Daniel Razzino, jamie | 20m | |||||
Blew the start on the first burn, remembered much better beta for the second and went to the chains! Climbed in a beautiful flow state. I think this route is an epitome of hard frog climbing and a proper benchmark of 26 trad: small gear, technical footwork, fimgerlocks, stemming, not many places to hide. Stunner!

22 | ★★★ Lonely Teardrops - with Issy Jukes | 22m | |||||
Bit desperate for me 😅 issy bloody crushed!! Epic job on the send!
