Ascents of Bloodsucker

First trad lead. Perfect route gear everywhere

first pitch - (10) traverse out of crackline to bolts to left

Super sick route, was shitting myself a bit on the second pitch. But awesome first, true, trad experience!

Only did the first pitch. I"m guessing this is an onsight, but can't remember. The Crag doesn't show any of my ascents from more than 10 years ago sadly.

P1 to access keyhole

P1 to access keyhole

P1 only. Got stumped by the blankness above, wasn’t feeling like traversing either side to get above it when I couldn’t protect the moves. Wasn’t comfortable with how hard I was going to have to crank on lichen smears and small crimps with a ledge below and no gear.

Went left and did the chimney instead.

Up and across through the keyhole

Pretty fun. Perfect nut placements. Linked to "Tower of Power".

First climb on this was seconding Dave's trad climb. Good climb, only went to the bolts about 10m up, probably graded about a 10 to the bolts.

First trad lead up to the ledge. Climbed it first then did the lead, good protection but a little tricky placing protection just before the ledge.

Pretty good, first go at a trad route. Will lead this next time.

Climbed just the lower half.

pitch 1

Second pitch a wee bit sketchy off the pillar - low pro and rather committing on poor footholds - better gear later but lots of lichen! Has this route been done ever??
