Ascents in White Hart Block

My first trad lead. Fun route

Unclear what other holds could have been under the moss. Still, felt pretty hard! Bailed to the right after the second bolt.

Nice!

Just before transitioning to the slab, lean around left to place your only pro in the large crack before Runaway. Decking territory for sure, just top rope it.

Beautiful hand crack that swallows red cams. One of my favourite climbs I have led. Bomber jams the whole way with some decent enough feet if you can find them through the moss.

Jamming practice

Best quality route of the day.

Too small, fell on first nut then gave up.

Really cool jammy flake

Sad days, average holds

Fun moves

Boulder problem start, followed by fingertip lay back moves, finishing with good finger locks as the angle decreases in the upper half of the clim. This is another climb that needs to be cleaned. As a trad lead, 22 seems a bit low since, for the first half of the climb, placing gear would be tenuous. I cleaned moss off various holds but numerous holds were unusable until cleaned - and the climb still needs further brushing.

Very thin slab climbing. I rested at several points and brushed plenty of moss off the climb but it still needs further cleaning. Much of the progress is made using widely spaced pebbles. Unfortunately, I broke off most of the good pebble slightly above and right of the first bolt so the climb is now harder to pass the first bolt. After the first bolt, small pebbles allow delicate moves passing to the left of the second and third bolts. After the third bolt, the angle eases and the moves get slightly easier. Would be a classic technical slab if it were to be cleaned.

The moves went much smoother on the second attempt but passing the first bolt is now harder with the good pebble mostly gone. Still needed rope tension between the first and second bolt but the upper slab went much more smoothly. Probably worth 25?

Pleasant and well protected by small to medium cams

Really nice crack, with layback at start, need plenty of 3 and 4 cams for this climb

Nice finger crack! Trad! But also very mossy and hard to spot the footholds -> 2nd go was much easier!

good climb on crumbly rock

great crack

After seconding this climb to clean gear I soloed it twice, its a beautiful hand crack!

Due to the very thin start i placed gear on toprope before leading

Backed off first time I tried it as I hadn't brought my cams and hexs (it is a slab crag) next time got it easily - quite nice

Very Fun crack. Both jamming & Layback made me happy
