18 17 Guns, Germs and Steel - with Angus M Trad 10m Good
Graham Dowden
Easily up to ledge, slung tree to circumvent downward plunge. Misread crack size (10-25mm) so called for stoppers and jug of iced Pimms with extra long straws. Acolyte unable to summon latter. Inserted metal wedges. More faffing to prevent upward-stopper-ripping in increasing discomfort on west-facing sun-baked wall. Fired upward, fell off twice, and finally achieved summit via horrible high-leg mantle just held on by shallow jam. Old school soft-core 17 I think. Ha Ha.

Actually quite nice. Tons of gear where you need it. Belay off the big gum tree up on the second ledge above the route.
