Ascents of Sweet Mercury having Beta

Donald as I’m placing my second piece: “just be aware that the cam you’re placing is older than you are!”. Fun climb - a bit awkward and burly in parts - dirty at the top.

Followed Tom who led it very smoothly including cleaning a large amount of leaves and sticks from the finishing few metres.

Decided to bail and downclimb near the top due to various reasons. Might hop on again in the future with more gear (doubles midsize would be nice) and give it a good brush.

Great fun. Bit of a wrestle. Plenty of gear and a comically large rusty old bolt near the top. Slightly sketchy tree belay

Mikl has pointed out that I actually climbed this and not Shivering Jeremy in the past. Who needs grAId to upgrade a past onsight by five Ewbank grades?

"A great trad outing! Mandatory thin hands jamming on the first half, then brutal and scary through the roof above the ledge, then sandy and flaring up to two of the worst rusted metal things you'll ever see. Second couldn't follow, found a hex as booty, fun times!"
