23 | ★★★ Sick Slick Slab — 2 attempts | 18m | Sun 1st Oct 2023 | |||||
would be the best route at the crag if it wasn't permawet. Super sustained interesting slabbing
|
||||||||
26 | ★★★ Curfew — 8 attempts | 35m | Sat 21st Oct 2023 | |||||
a couple shots to get through the start boulder the first tie in, then dogging to the top. Second 'attempt' was like 5 or so fails at the start boulder followed by juuust squeaking it, and then carrying a ridiculous pump the rest of the way. Excellent climb, probably v5 or so start into ~g23 pumping for 30 metres.
technically like 8 shots because you always start from the ground, but over 3 tie ins. |

this route is great and stacks up! |

I would argue this is 25 So much more stacked than Lazy Boi. The boulder at halfway up, when you are so pumped, is all-time classic!

A tough lower move and then quite a sustained
slopey and pockety crux for 2 or 3 bolts. Pretty much jugs otherwise, but still quite enjoyable.

It's tough being to give this more than 1 star as all the nearby routes are flipping bangers. But at any other crag it's totally worth it.

24 | ★★ Hot Hands | 25m, 11 | ★★ Very Good | Sat 19th Nov 2022 | ||||
Fell off the last move of the opening boulder on the onsight (with no chalk on the sneaky sneaky holds, and in the full summer sun, I ended up in no man's land trying to rock over an invisible footer on no holds). Came down, and sent 2nd shot, onsighting from the 3rd bolt up.
Basically a gr24 thin and bouldery start into gr20 climbing with enjoyable, cruisy moves. Could use more cleaning. |

2nd shot, sent the same day I bolted it. For the Send, I skipped the last bolt -something I still do on repeat laps. Really sustained, and you always seem to arrive at the crux way more pumped than you want to be.

Satisfying to clean up an old dog from two years ago first try today. Which was surprising because I couldn't really remember what went on up there. There must have been some lingering muscle memory and/or right knee scar tissue.

27 | FA ★★★ Covid Conspiracy Capers | 20m, 8 | ★★★ Classic | Sat 1st Jan 2022 | ||||
4 days of effort, but proper chuffed with the result. 3 distinct cruxes, but no true rest inbetween. I fell off the final move to the anchors 3 times on link. Slab style, though on a slightly steep wall, makes "rockovers" a dynamic affair.

Unfortunately blew the first move due to the first footer collapsing, everything else above an onsight.
This climb ticks all the boxes, I’d rate it as 3 stars (other than the shit first move). Delicate slab down low finished off with a head wall with pockets and jugs placed perfectly! Almost feels like you’re climbing on limestone. |
