Ascents of Dave Mank's Electric Gorilla as Onsight

Great fun, going to have to work up to the direct start

Hmmm, bridge or actually climb the pillar. I did a bit of both. Nice and difficult getting back into the crack, I gave it about three goes. First one I realised my gear was where my jams were, therefore had to move it down. Second, got the jams, but feet missed there mark, I pumped and made a desperate back climb. I would've fell if my jam didn't slip onto a mysterious hand hold (my high nut placement). Very thin hand jams, I couldn't get the butterfly jams working. The direct start is the only way to do this if you can. Otherwise wait until you're better.

Quite good. with Geoff.

nearly fell off. My hands a little big for the crack!

the DS is probably the best way to do this

With Jason S and Steve Mc - a freezing windy winters day...what year??

did it after I'd done the DS. Not as much fun as the direct

20 in the current Frog guide. Harder than 18, but soft at 20. Started up the direct start, after 4-5m i wasnt feeling it so i stemmed to the top of the pillar to place a piece of gear, then continued up. Okay climbing, but not great. Tricky move off the top of the pillar to get back into rhe crack.

Sweet handjamming.

Quite good. Getting to the tree from the ledge is worthless though.

Was going to get on this to warm up for child in time ended up doing the direct start

The top out on this is full on full value

Fun thin jams

After destroying the toilet with what remained in me of the office party, this was all I could bring myself to lead out of fear that I might actually shit myself if I fell off anything harder!

One thought provoking move off the pilar and into the crack and the rest was pretty mellow.

Tricky move stepping around off the pillar and gaining access back into the crack.
