Sun 30th Jun 2019 - Cardiff and Newport crags
The Valleys Sandstone The Gap
	6b+ 6b	★★ Rattle those Tusks	Sport 20m	★★ Very Good	Gavin
Best line at the crag, and a nice crack. Beware the final move, which was powerful on warmup
	7a+	★★★ Pleasant Valley Sunday	Sport 20m	★★★ Classic	Gavin
Beautiful hard moves. I pulled them all, but its one step more to link them.
	7a	★★★ One Track Mind	Sport 20m	★★★ Classic	Gavin
Beautiful arete climbing, with a technical crux
	6b	★★ Land of the Dinosaurs	Sport 18m	★★ Very Good	Gavin
The cracks are the best lines here, this one is consistent throughout.
Fri 28th Jun 2019 - Llanberis Valley Area
Clogwyn Du'r Arddu The East Buttress
	E4 6a E4 6a	★★★ Great Wall - with Matt	Trad 60m	★★★ Mega Classic	Ian.Grabowski
P1 - 6a - O/S lead P2 - 5c - 1/2 TR, 1/2 O/S lead when my partner whipped and came back to the belay. I tied in to his ends of the rope and TRd to his highpoint and led on o/s from there. I also went a much harder thinner direct line from left edge of ledge after crux traverse direct up the pillar, missing the vs-grade traverse far right. Probably same grade once it's cleaned up but felt hard with all the grub on the rock.
	E2 5b E2 5b	★★★ Jelly Roll - with Matt	Trad 78m	★★★ Mega Classic	Ian.Grabowski
P1+2 linked - 2nd clean P3 - O/S lead
Thu 27th Jun 2019 - Llanberis Valley Area

Wed 26th Jun 2019 - Llanberis Valley Area
Llanberis Pass Dinas Cromlech
	E5 6a E5 6a	★★★ True Grip - with Matt	Trad 40m	★★★ Classic	Ian.Grabowski
1st E5 lead O/S outside of the quarries. Great and not too hard. No chalk on it so was a real exploratory journey up the left face. Sequency, technical, a tad pumpy searching for holds and getting gear right, bold. Just so good.
	E1 5c	★★★ Cenotaph Corner - with Matt	Trad 37m	★★★ Mega Classic	Ian.Grabowski
Fantastic and not easy.
Tue 25th Jun 2019 - Anglesey
Gogarth South Stack Yellow Wall
	E3 5c E3 5c	★★★ The Moon - with Matt	Trad 70m	★★★ Classic	Ian.Grabowski
Led crux P2. P3 not a giveaway either.
Tue 25th Jun 2019 - Anglesey
Gogarth South Stack Castell Helen
	E1 5b E1 5b	★★ North west Passage - with Matt	Trad 70m	★★★ Classic	Ian.Grabowski
Led crux. Rpt.
	HVS 5a HVS 5a	★★ Blanco - with Matt	Trad 60m	★★ Very Good	Ian.Grabowski
The 1st pitch is 3* mega classic but the 2nd pitch is a nothing pitch so only 2* from me.

	E3 5c E3 5c	★★ Kalahari - with Ben	Trad 65m	★★ Very Good	Ian.Grabowski
Led crux pitch
Fri 21st Jun 2019 - Llanberis Valley Area
Dinorwic Quarries Tyll Mawr Combat Rock Area
	E3 5c E3 5c	★★★ Purple Haze	Trad 25m	★★ Very Good	Ian.Grabowski
A bit sketchy almost all of the way. All gear in vibraty big flake you also use to climb and then the last 10m has no pro (but is thankfully only maybe Brit 4c/5a climbing). A fall would most likely be life changing from anywhere up there onto ledges.
Thu 13th Jun 2019 - Tremadog Area
Craig Bwlch y Moch Merlin Buttress
	E2 E2 5c	★ Daddy Cool - with Tom, Hannah	Trad 40m	★ Good	Ian.Grabowski

Craig Bwlch y Moch Leg slip
	E3 E3 6a	★★ Venom - with Tom	Trad 55m	★★ Very Good	Ian.Grabowski
Slipped at crux of crux P1.
Sun 5th May 2019 - Gower Peninsula
Lewes Castle
	E2 5c E2 5c	★ Cave Cracks	Trad	★ Good	Gavin
Hard moves can easily be protected, and dont last long, but it is a nice line.
	HVS 5a HVS 5a	★★★ South West Diedre	Trad	★★★ Classic	Gavin
Best route i did here. really nice line.
	VS 4c VS 4c	★★ Osiris	Trad 36m	★★ Very Good	Gavin

	7a+ 7a	★★★ Slatebite	Sport 18m		Michael Lehmann
Happy with this! Bit soft for 7a+
Sun 7th Apr 2019 - Cardiff and Newport crags
Tirpentwys Main Wall
	6a	★ Leading Edge - with Lolly Pope	Sport		Fernando Hidalgo
Weird squeezed route. If you stick to the arete/pillar is significantly harder than 6a. If you use handholds and footholds from the right it feels like you are cheating.
Sun 7th Apr 2019 - Cardiff and Newport crags
Tirpentwys Right Wall
	6a	You've Had Your Chicks - with Lolly Pope	Sport		Fernando Hidalgo
Ok route.
	6a	Crumlin at the Seams - with Lolly Pope	Sport		Fernando Hidalgo

	HVS 5a	★★★ A Dream of White Horses - with Andy B	Trad 150m		Will Miles
Very cold out of the febuary sunshine. But it all came together as the sun hit us for the final pitch. Epic route worthy of its status!
Sun 24th Feb 2019 - Pembroke
Range East Bosherston Head
	5b E1 5b	Springboard - with Jakewilson89	Trad		RKouidri

Dinorwic Quarries Australia Looning The Tube
	HVS 5b HVS 5b	★★★ Looning the Tube	Trad 20m	★★ Very Good	Nick Baggaley
Came back to give it a crack on lead. Still just as weird, fun, and weirdly fun.
	E3 6a	★★ Goose Creature	Trad 15m	★★ Very Good	Nick Baggaley
Super runout, but interesting moves. Really a one-move wonder.
	HVS 5b	★★★ Looning the Tube	Trad 20m	★★ Very Good	Nick Baggaley
Odd. Good solid edges though!
Thu 18th Oct 2018 - Anglesey
Gogarth North Stack Upper Tier

Unexpectedly niec style, trad stemming

Gilwern Gilwern East
	6a	★ Dolphin Snoggin' - with Simon B	Sport		Fernando Hidalgo
Fun route.
	6b+	★ Inch Pinch - with Simon B	Sport		Fernando Hidalgo
Really hard onsight. Leavitating is a good description is what you need to do at the crux. Good secuence or 4-5 moves. A little bit harder for the grade
	5b	★★ The Plumb - with Simon B	Sport		Fernando Hidalgo
Warm up on trainers.
Sun 2nd Sep 2018 - Gwynant Valley
Clogwyn y Bustach
