Ascents in Third Breakaway as Hang dog

carol lee That is the biggest sandbag I've ever climbed. Tried to climb, actually. It is at least a very stiff 23, to me it felt even more like a solid 24! Then again, it was my first and only day of climbing here at Ebor and maybe I was just spoiled by the 'easy grading' at Frog

Anyway, this place is certainky worth visiting!

End of the day, out of practice or just hard? I think all three. Will have to come back fresh for this one. Chossy dirty top-out is horrendous.

One rest at crux

carol lee had a few cracks at this but was defeated by the wet spooge gushing out of the first meter of the crack. Jumped on and was pretty happy to power through this and up to half way to the last good stance before the hand crack widens to not-quite-fists and then I regressed into the worse pumped out dogging / aiding / grunting. Finally got to the head wall and then went right for a subterranean burrow (after being warned by Ben Vincent not to go this way)

Strenous jamming, nice line!

Usual story, flash pump and then had a rest, then clean to top after I was warm

Lead this on Carol's gear. Super happy with everything, did basically the whole climb and then just slumped at literally the last hold.

This thing is amazing. Fell on the low crux, figured out the sequence and it was great. Perfect jamming and good rests all the way to the top. And then it turns into a complete grovel after the roof
