6c+ Red Rain Sport 18m, 5
Ollie
Thought this was a 6B so got on it for a burn. Was the end of the day so ended up dogging it all the way to the top hah. Once i got down and realised by checking the book it made me feel a little better. Would love to get back on this with a full tank to give it a better go. Wicked fun route. Hard but fun!

Loved it. Sent it properly today. Took me a few goes at the dyno but managed it eventually and made a nice clean send, and one more for good measure.

Boulder Ruckle
4c HVS 4c Finale Groove Trad 42m
Pav El Slama
What a stunning climb, wild and improbable – couldn’t stop grinning from the niche up. (With the polished holds sweating a bit in the heat, I’d say not an easy HVS, and a sustained 5a at least? Felt like a French 6b.)

 
Wed 25th Aug 2021 - Swanage
Guillemot Ledge
5a E1 5a The Spook Trad 35m
Pav El Slama
First E1 – but felt more like HVS 5a/4c. A mini-epic, partner fell out of the beginning of the upper crack on p1, left hanging under the overhang unable to reach it. P1 fun, p2 a one-move pony – Rockfax says “bold” twice in the description of p2, which is twice too many.

Quite enjoyed this traverse style route up the crack. Not going to lie though when I initially did it years ago, felt as if I was going to ping off multiple times for uncomfortable falls.

If you don't like jamming you can go to the right a little bit, also downgrading it a little bit.

Climbed soaking wet. Was meaning to turn off onto tensor 2 but got carried away! Struggled to work out the roof crux in the wet, until my arms failed and I lowered off.

 
HVS 5b Strapiombo - with Jan Trad 30m Very Good
jobangles
Climbed in rain with heavy pack. Couldn't figure out the roof crux move and after getting pumped out of my mind had to weight the rope to move out onto the face. Negotiating the chimney with a bag on was interesting!

6a+ Unseen Ripples of the Pebble Sport 12m, 5

Nice climb but falling apart, more suspect holds than ones you can pull on. Someone needs to go up with a crowbar and do some choss removal.

After attempting the traverse across to get to Fathoms and taking a swim, took this route up on belay. Lots of confusion trying work out where the route was, but finally made it up after lots of falling and dangling.

HVS 5a Troubled Waters - with Ian, Jacob, Ezra Deep water solo 10m Very Good
jobangles
First successful outdoor climb and DWS! Climbed twice after finishing wrong by escaping to the right the first time. Moved up the face very gingerly. Took quite a bit of time to find the obscured foothold by my knees before the jugs start. A great climb. Gives you better holds the steeper and higher it gets.
