Really enjoyed the first pitch with a good variety of climbing. Second pitch probably had the hardest moves but not sustained and shorter then the first pitch. Third pitch was the easiest, could knock a couple grades off and I don't think anyone would question it. Final pitch no giveaway at 14. I'd say 'trad 14'.

Quite sustained at the grade and much spicier then the other 18s on this wall with more space between bolts.

Can finally say I've done Sweet Dreams. Super cruisy day out enjoying the views of the three sisters.
Pitch 1: Couple of moves onto a huge ledge then up the staircase corner - 2 carrot bolts. Pitch 2: More corner climbing to cosy belay. Lewis placed a few cams. Pitch 3 & 4: The traverse pitch (and money pitch). I struggle to spot carrot bolts on grey rock - 3 bolts up then start traversing horizontal. Rope drag got pretty solid by the end. No idea why pitch 4 exists separately. Pitch 5: Follow the carrots to the huge ledge. Cool exposure stepping over the gap and looking down. Pitch 6: The only one that feels like real climbing - we went up the line furthest to the left that has the carrot as the first bolt as it seemed to fit the description of 'blunt arete' best (not sure which line is 'correct' for this variant but seemed around 17). Placed 2 cams at the end - one to protect the rooflet and one in the final corner crack. |
