Ascents in Cheap Dive Wall and Beyond as Onsight

23 in the guide and solid for that grade. Nice to onsight this one. Powerful moves getting to the arete then okay. Really cool

Sport route with optional cams. Some delicate arete moves. Start is more pleasant than it looks. Probably still soggy at 18. Nose-butting sharp edges not recommended, chunky gusher.

Great fun.

Great route. Those scoops at the start! Had to downclimb a section above the break but stuck it. The arete had me smiling

First lead trad route.

Average rock, nice climbing

way steeper than than expected. this crack is quite unique as you can jam pinch and layback up the vertical ironstone band. then into a tight bottomless chimney. than thrutch your way to success! if you rack your cams on your left it would be way easier.

Nice moves, definitely no harder than the route to the left

Well I too got played with "test piece 23" and "three star" rating. I give it 22, 1 star. The start is good climbing but lower quality rock. I found the arete ledgey but balancey so go figure...

Some hard moves between horizontals at 167cm

Lots of dust and loose rocks for you and your belayer. Tonnes of face gardening and a mossy gripless runout over the second pitch nose. Certainly an experience.

Great! No stars in the current guidebook? Brilliant trad climbing on great rock and with awesome movement and gear. Climbs much easier than it looks and its easy to rap off the anchors for Cheap Dive and clean that way. What more could you want?

New guide calls it "test piece 23", I thought it was hard for 22, but probably soft at 23. Regardless, it is radical climbing the whole way (with around 2 million bolts to keep it "safe"), with some awesome technical sections, a brief bit of thugging, a balancy arete and a thin face. Not a test piece, but certainly a classic.

End of day pumper in the sun

23 in guidebook but feels very soft. Awesome rock, great move and position

Enjoyable, varied climbing.

overhung hands to chimbly then surfboard, absolute gold!

Do 1st pitch only to new lower offs. look for giant bolt at chimney then step left. Probably 16 at least.

deserves a star. bettter than it looks.

Hard move off the big cairn to rock scars! then plod up to top.

Scarey face grating slab

with Dude

Blocky climbing with poor pro after 1st belay

Wander up to first BR then start slab climbing for 5m
