Ascents in The Promised Land

50m R of STCFTHOTS. Line passes R of a large triangular roof.

Took the line of least resistance, harder options remain to the L.

Stepped L at the rooflet, but feel free to go straight up.

Mostly easy climbing up an arete, a little runnout in places.

Quite good climbing in a sensational position.

A couple nice moves on pitch 1, quite delicate climbing for the grade on pitch 2.

Not my best effort. Pitch 1 has broken rock and is dangerous, pitch 2 has OK rock but is seriously runnout.

The middle bit following a crack is a few metres of excellent climbing, above that is OK.

The rock gets a bit scabby on the L half of The Ogre.

On the second pitch, Brett led the L crack while I led the R crack with Greg belaying both of us!

1st pitch a bit scrappy - second pitch managed to pull a rock onto Liz when a hold broke off right at the top. Downclimbed, checked she was alright, then climbed the easier left wall. Almost an epic! Loose rock everywhere.

Nothing to not like except a little brittle rock at the start.
