Ascents in Lower Tier

the whole diagonal traverse was very enjoyable climbing

We had such a good day. Area was fire damaged.

Getting to the bolt was fun, couldn't stick the last moves.

well its a nice climb, but quite hard for the grade. under the roof was very wet and quite hard to jam. through the roof was just shit, i did aid a few pieces to get past it. past the roof is a fist crack and wider at parts, can layback and use a few features on slab or stick your whole arm in there!!! need 3x blue and silver cams if you don't want it scarily runout or bumping it up a long way to stay protected. will try again when cave is dry if i come back here.

Great!

climbed the first half like 3 times to access or prepare different climbs

Brilliant layback slabbing up the arête, and a fantastic test of one's confidence. Got it third attempt after a couple of progressively higher bails onto a bouldering mat.

Nice

Lost rubber on both toe boxes attempting this one. Have to try it again at some point after a shoe repair

felt harder than bolts on granite slab imo. did a very satisfying high foot

Sandbagged. Felt bloody desperate at 20, even for granite slab and accounting for the conditions. Couldn't make much progress so jugged up in the end to get the rope down.

Reminded me I love slabs

fuckin granite got me again. need to work on my body tension, friction and balance. struggled all the way until i got comfortable with the lay back.

I found the move to get above the 1st bolt a little awkward. Just had to ‘man up’ and do it

Nice

This seemed far more straight forward than Russel's Mega Route though it's a grade harder? Maybe being tall helps?

Short and sweet.

Short and sweet.

Got to bolt fairly easily but then couldn't work it out. Hard.

Racing darkness climbed this to clean penetration.
