Ascents of Serenity

Found the mantle over the lip a tad awkward.

Probably wouldn't repeat

Fun climb, was epic doing at night. Too bad my hands froze and I couldn't onsite it.

Nice climb. Dont go left to the ledge under the first bolt.

probably my favourite climb on the west face

Pumpy start but super fun climb

Keep your eyes on the ball if you are belaying this. When your climber is going over the top roof just before anchoring in at the top there's a risk of them slipping and falling onto the ledge just below. It's a bit sketchy because if you give them to much slack they could land on their ass and do a tail bone or ankle or something. Keep real good communication with them at the top because it's a bit of a blind spot from your view as the belayer. If it was at all slippery on the walk to the crag probably give this one a miss for now because the top's slippery even in the dry.

Finally after all these years on a cold windy day I find no bees on the route and I can tick this off! Absolutely bring a bolt plate and clip that first carrot or you are in some real high ball trouble for the first ring bolt.

No bees low, but also no tree. I campussed out to the arete and found myself underneath the rope. By the time I sorted this out I was knackered. This start felt well beyond 17 difficulty, so without the tree to assist I think it might need a grade rethink.

Serenity Now! Couldn't pull through the rooflet. Maybe tired, maybe not. Either way, nothing was serene with the campus start. Will return for the quick draw.

Got to the roof and started pouring with rain. Retreated and left a draw on If anyone climbs it I’ll be back for the draw 🥺

Logging past ascent, bee hive 2-3m away don't fall in!

tough hand traverse to start with no protection

take friends scary first clip as tree is gone
