Ascents in Statham's Quarry by Kym Campbell

Nervy start, then a delicate mantle, then a tricky, pumpy crux. Might even be worth another star, though it would be better if the birds could find somewhere else to crap.

Good pro, good climbing, it even has a good belay stance

Thin through the middle section. Ok warm up.

Difficult to like.

Not just trad anymore, 2 rings and 2 bolts to loweroffs so take a couple of bolt plates. Runout at the top, but the climbing there is secure.

A nice trad practice route, tolerably well protected with a mix of small and medium nuts and cams.

Pleasant. Pity it's so short.

Step back in time to quarry climbing in the '60s - felt more like a 16 to me.

A likable and well protected climb with a couple of cool moves, maybe a little soft for the grade.

Not too bad when you know the sequence, and it does look as though a fall at the crux would be into space rather than onto one of the ledges. Not that I'm keen to test that theory.

Entertaining start, nervy 4th clip, sequency climbing to get above the bulge, then straightforward finish. A few of the holds at the crux are not obvious.

A lovely technical and pumpy route

Always a pleasure.

I swore off this climb some time ago, because it's rubbish. But today we were right there with time to spare, so we spent a little time working out the start and now it's ticked. I still don't have anything good to say about it.

Retro flash

Fell at the first clip trying for the onsight. Came back down and finished clean on 2nd attempt. Hard at the bottom and easy at the top. No stars.

Pleasant trad morning in the quarry

Sandbagged

It's ok, I suppose. Not worth 2 stars though.

Warm up in the shade.

Short, but easy to protect with big, chunky gear. Good route to build up some trad leading confidence.

a bit insecure at the top, especially if it's windy

Early morning, perfect conditions. Got on to warm up, struggled through the crux, and sent. Worth turning up 2 days in a row

Job done. Great route with a great variety of committing moves.

Finally, sweet relief. I've spent so much time on this climb I feel I must be, along with the esteemed Prof Pablo Montoya, one of the world's leading authorities on its finer details. Great climb, but I sure am happy to move on.

Double send. Slight beta change made the start much better. Once I got going I didn't want to do it a second time, so I milked the rests and stayed fresh. Backed up by Paul sending in the wind and rain. Great session on a really satisfying climb.

Really satisfying climb. The bouldery start felt smooth today. The stemming section is insecure, but well protected, and the final moves really make you work. Solid 25 IMO.

Finally got there. I'm calling it a classic because no one can stop me, and it's such a satisfying climb with an intricate sequence through the crux. Hard for the grade.

1 dog, 1 pink point, thanks to Bec's beta. Night climbing makes the footholds hard to see, but also means you don't care that much about falling.

Sent on second attempt. Pretty cool, actually, with some interesting moves

Night climb. Head torch and flood light makes for some interesting shadows.

Decent climb that requires trust in your feet.

Easy start, but with a high first clip to keep you focused, then it's crimpy, technical and balancy with a nervy finish. Well worth doing.

Someone has left a lot of blood behind on this.

it gets vertical and quite run out after the 3rd bolt, but it's juggy enough not to be too big a deal

Tricky start, but heading up the slab to the base of the arete is not as hard as it looks. Getting onto the arete from there is the crux.

the slab before the first bolt is somewhat precarious

Short, harder than 16 at the bottom, way easier than 16 at the top, not a lot going for it.

Not bad. Juggy sections alternate with small footholds and crimps to keep things interesting.
