Ascents of The Junkyard Dog

Going bolt to bolt to check the route, did all the moves but one at the end of the first traverse in the roof. Feels quite far in terms of fitness but really fun route

Clean to the second bolt in the roof. Mantle still feels pretty horrendous. Roof sequence needs some work. Pretty stoked with the progress, though.

Through to the stance under the roof. Tough! Ventured out briefly to the first bolt, good fun but ran out of gas.

Did not find a sneaky rest before the traverse on my onsight attempt. Went on the second go with some oh and ah at the anchors

Felt really good to be able to repeat this one after such a long time, and on first go. Once I got up there, also checked the moves for the extension.

Extension next

Got shut down hard today

First attempt bolt to bolt putting up draws. Second attempt died going to the right shelf. Might go next time??

Felt weirdly nervy so didn't enjoy the climbing as much as I probably should have

Draw retrieval

Clean repeat. Fun fun fun!

Quite spoogey. We were able to work the first section before the traverse. Took a bad fall and crunched my toe/cut it open. Will come back when it's had plenty of time to stop seeping.

Clean repeat. What a brilliant, thuggy warmup. I'd forgotten how good this place is.

Warm down lap, almost fell off.

Pumpy, haven't roof climbed for this long in a while. Too hungover to try the extension

the bouldery section takes me back to my very first baby proj

Absolutely great, nearly got to the top without needing to rest

Awesome route. Had all the right beta thanks to the boys and held on.

Didn't have the power and drive to finish this knowing we had another climb to clean . Worth a fresh go.

Just. Then came off trying to get on the extension.

Mega! big holds, just keep moving.

Got shutdown before the juggy rail, first steep climbing since lockdown is rough

Pumpy but has rest spots. There is a proper inverted bat hang on this if you can find it. 😀

Bit further than last time I was here so that's great

Still not sure how to do the moves at the far right end of the traverse but everything else is feasible

Got too pumped right before the anchors

I can finally tick this one off my to do list. Will come back for the 26 extension.

Placing the draws and remembering the moves

My most efficient attempt with moves flowing, but messed up when clipping the anchor and ended falling

Finally got this, BIG TICK. Honestly wasn't expecting sending it today since last time I came to this crag it seemed impossible Managed to clip the anchor even after messing up again, but this time held it and finished lol Awesome climb
