The first pitch/section of this route is outstanding, unfortunately the bolt placement is horrendous. Unless you are 6ft tall.
The top pitch climbs well, but isn't as crimpy or turned on as the first.
Still a great route overall and definitely worth a lap or ten.

Figured out and did all the moves except for the one leaving the chossy jug break. Tried a few different things and can imagine doing the move two different ways, both of which are tricky for different reasons. Will be good to come back and try again when it's a bit drier and with someone else to work beta.
Apart from that move, the rest of the route feels like a cool 24 with quite a few nice sequences.

Match
1
Seconded Mitch Clean. A proper classic pitch in its own right. The steepness is outrageous at the grade! With a bit more love, a bit more cleaning, and by starting up the layback flake to the right, this pitch on its own deserves a full 3 stars.
2
Second clean. Some classic moments, but a lot of choss, wet rock, and moss. Once you get to the roof, everything up is great fun.
3
Hardly inspiring to look at (in fact, rather ugly) but the desperate bottomless chimney armbar-thrutching-madness was a unique experience to me. I climbed it with gear in (from my failed onsight attempt) and the first gear up to the crux pre-clipped from lowering off previously. | 70m | ★★ Very Good | ||||
I always thought Pitch 1 looked mega, and it totally is.
Climbing Pitch 1 via the layback flake to the start, then traversing off (past old carrots) onto The Mind Boggles to rap would be a totally worthwhile undertaking for any trad enthusiast. |

2 attempts. I never quite managed a single move turning the rooflet, but the rest of it was fine after I'd properly sussed it. Seems like a move that would be easier if you're short (on a Blueys slab... crazy, right???).
Despite just being a "direct" on The Mind Boggles, this has a tonne of new and intriguing climbing, and is definitely worth your time. |

Too good. Warmed the fingers up on a 25 at dca wall ('jack finally sandbagged himself' - yim). Hart agreed to belay, i think without knowing how long the pitch was. The muddy start (yeah im blaming the mud.. all the other hang dogs do) knocked me off the traverse, but after sneaking through, i enjoyed a smorgesboard of delightful slabbing moves through to the novelty finish laybacking up the thrustblock and a better-not-fuck-it-up left leg knee bar in the block to rest. Lying around with everyone at chasing amy reminiscing in the memories of slab heaven.

Linked Pitches 1 and 2 cause I couldn't be bothered to rebelay... Not recommended (the rope drag was terrible!). P1 would be about gr21, but for a 2m V4/V5 sequence. I wouldn't say I worked out the crux in question, but I also didn't really try. Fun enough, but not one of the better aretes here. P2 had some cool climbing at the start, but was crazy runout (6 bolts in 25m!) I don't think I'll be back.
