18 Dora the Explorer (and the lost crack of gold.) Sport 30m, 10 Very Good
A shame the first move is much harder than the rest of the climb. Nice long climb though.

20 Manchester United - with Simon Sport 15m Very Good
I have been meaning to jump on this climb for ages. It has plenty of interesting moves and the crux wasn't where I thought it would be.

19 Mousetrap - with Jack Sport 16m Very Good
I have always just walked by this climb but now that I have done it I would recommend it to others.The bottom is crimpy with some interesting moves and the top is balancy.

13 Parents in Pain Variant (Parents in Pain Pussy Variant) - with Paul Griffiths Sport 20m Very Good
Thought I would try the variant this time. Does make it easier but no less fun.

 
22 Mango Tango Sport 15m Classic
Still can't link in the top section. I can do all of the moves but not all at once.

Good Fun

 
15 The Gruffalo - with Paul Griffiths Sport 24m, 9 Very Good
Saw this climb got added and thought we would give it a try. Thought that it was a bit easier than 15 (probably 13/14) certainly easier than Snooze and You Lose. A bit dirty but I am sure that it will clean up very quickly with more ascents. Found a snake skin in a crack 2/3 up.

16 18 Corner From Hell - with Paul Griffiths Sport 15m Very Good

19 Quart de Seicle Sport 15m, 6 Very Good
The headwall of this climb is really good, quite fingery and slabby.

 
15 Alpine - with Elly Sport 20m, 9 Classic
Still a fun route

 
13 In the Inn of the Sixth Happiness - with Elly Sport 20m, 10 Very Good
An interesting variation finish to Alpine really. Just as good but easier.

The Main Cave
23 Diagonal du Fou - with Brendon Flanagan Sport 15m, 10 Classic
Wow what a climb. I took 2 rests (one at ring bolt and other one bolt from the end) this time but I will come back and get it clear. It climbed a lot different than it looked from the ground, took me a while to get brave enough to launch out on the lip to the anchor but discover that it was not too bad.

14 Open to Public Scrutiny - with Brendon Flanagan Sport 20m Good
I don't know why but I always seem to do this route when I come here, barefoot this time.

 
20 Thomas the Tank - with Brendon Flanagan Sport 10m, 6 Good
I could not work out how to do the dyno move low down. Hands and feet were not great. Other than trhat one move it was easy.

 
20 Judas Escariot - with Brendon Flanagan Sport 10m, 8 Good
Annoyed that I fell off this one. It was tricky establishing in the crack, after that it was good.
