Stellar climb and the best one I've done at Perp yet. Predominately face climbing down low with the odd jam into fingers then the glorious hand crack to the top. Only let down by a few lose chockstones that are screaming to come out. Be careful if you climb this.

Can finally say I've done Sweet Dreams. Super cruisy day out enjoying the views of the three sisters.
Pitch 1: Couple of moves onto a huge ledge then up the staircase corner - 2 carrot bolts. Pitch 2: More corner climbing to cosy belay. Lewis placed a few cams. Pitch 3 & 4: The traverse pitch (and money pitch). I struggle to spot carrot bolts on grey rock - 3 bolts up then start traversing horizontal. Rope drag got pretty solid by the end. No idea why pitch 4 exists separately. Pitch 5: Follow the carrots to the huge ledge. Cool exposure stepping over the gap and looking down. Pitch 6: The only one that feels like real climbing - we went up the line furthest to the left that has the carrot as the first bolt as it seemed to fit the description of 'blunt arete' best (not sure which line is 'correct' for this variant but seemed around 17). Placed 2 cams at the end - one to protect the rooflet and one in the final corner crack. |

Night ascent. Enjoyable and varied crack. 18 seems on the money to me. Jams are decent with good feet on the face through the initial crack then eases up after that with plenty of hands free rests to suss out the path (which is a bit of a choose your own adventure - I did three laps and all were different).

Stellar climb, loved ever bit of it. Don't let the hardish first few moves put you off, get on it.
Even enjoyed it more then Interstate 31 (but that might be because I'm not a real trad climber). |

Fun corner climbing into chimney (but not really any chimney thrutching needed). Rock early seemed a little fragile. |

Not trad - 4 carrots with no anchor. This was the first outdoor climb I ever did years ago. Thought I'd give it another whirl to see how my memory is. Dirty, sharp, short, nothing great and have to get someone to second to clean using boulder as anchor.

Anchor up top is two dubious looking shiny button top screws. Can anyone confirm if these are safe? |
