Ascents of Lape

Hardest 12 I've ever done. Did the weirdest move in my life... One knee bar in the off-width, one fist jam, the other leg stretched out in a crazy drop knee, other hand groping on slopers above the pillar. I think I'm beginning to enjoy this thrutching business!

Actually pretty good, but very stiff for the grade. Deserves more traffic.

Fun and a half!

I genuinely thought my leg was going to be permanently stuck inside this thing....then got my bloody helmet stuck....won’t be back

A bit loose up top. Be Careful

Lots of dust and leaves in this one. Some hollow blocks that are a bit sketchy at the start of the chimney

Fun warm up. I didn’t think the pro was that bad. Walk off.

Trying to tick another sub 15er off the list. Got to the top of the pillar and was about to move into chimney when a huge flake dislodged. Fortunately it insecurely wedged itself back into the chimney, but it's still very unsafe. Downclimbed to clean.

the chimney is great and well protected until I got on the top of the pillar, about to place a .75 cam, shook it to check, and the whole flake (3metres) moved and got my cam out. It didn't drop, but having tried harder it would have fallen. Keep and eye on that!

Enjoyable climbing, albeit on not great rock. Plenty of wall around to avoid the slight choss, though, and decent gear too. Would do again!

Good recovery for me since accident but was bad to top rope but aching to get out there

Good intro to frog for the newbies.

Not a tight a chimney as the guide makes it out to be.

a good way to finish the day
