Ascents in King Rat Area as Onsight

Nice climbing

I went the top sequence up the flake to the jug, Marc led traversing the bottom sequence. Very glad for the jugs on the top wall after the crux.

Super fun, short climb! Lead it with Elley at 6:00am in total darkness. Couldn't see my placements until the sun came up enough while I was climbing! So beautiful and a very fun, steep but mega juggy climb! Good first 18 for anyone out there.

Very happy to onsight this. Some good jams helped!

Good approach pitch.

Not too bad, thoughtful crux above gear.

First pitch is approach. Second pitch is good, some interesting moves. Good pro

felt nervous tying in for this one. Pretty intimidating overhang. The minute I pulled up high for the first jam I knew I was committed. So many good jugs and jams though.

Absolutely thrilling. V3 boulder crux straight off the deck, fiddly gear through the crux. Faffed around getting pumped for 10 minutes trying to find something. Before plugging a blue totem, pulling the crux, running it out to the jug, realising the jug was 5 mm thick; feeling the pump slowly opening my sweaty fingers regardless of the jug, then storming (yelling) my way to glory up the headwall on thin choss. Certainly my spiciest onsight yet

Fitting that Ikey belayed me on this one. Equally fitting that Cal’s dad FAed it.

Just pitch one
