Sun 20th Nov 2022 - The Cathedral
Main Crag
19 Vitez - with Andrew Stevenson Trad 25m Very Good
This is a great route. A bit of a struggle up the first bit of the crack where it is wide but then it gets easier towards the bolt. The rest of the crack is good fun with plenty of rests. Then a fun engaging finish up the flake.

Quite good fun, makes a nice alternative trad route to the climb next door.

 
12 Tiptoe Ridge - with Paul Griffiths Trad 12m Very Good

Lost & Found Wall
13 Faaip De Oiad Sport 12m, 4 Good
Hard first move for a 13, especially if you are short and can't reach the good holds. Did this barefoot as I forgot to bring my shoes over.

 
16 Lactose free Sport 13m, 4 Good
Hard start for a 16 but easier after the first few moves.

 
14 Ding bat Sport 11m, 3 Good

Sat 5th May 2018 - The Cathedral
Main Crag
18 Buffalo Bum - with Jack Trad 18m Very Good
Really good hand crack but the start is hard, probably closer to 20. The other tricky section is where it gets a bit wide for a wile in the middle.

 
20 Wench in a Trench - with Jack Mixed trad 18m, 2 Very Good
What was I thinking picking an offwidth as a warm up climb before 9am and before I had coffee. I wanted a fight today and this climb gave it to me. 3 very distinct sections, the first 2 are offwidth using various techniques to make progress and the 3rd is a really nice hand crack. More people should get on this, I love watching others on Offwidths.

14 14 R Elf Town - with Ben Trad 20m Very Good
I was surprised how good this was. After the high first bolt it was a bit run out with only a suspect cam behind a flake but it climbed really well and the last couple of moves were interesting.

 
18 Liquid Insanity - with Ben Sport 20m, 4 Very Good
Great route, the first move was a bit tall for someone of my height but was just able to get the hold with a jump, after that it was a bit scary to the first high bolt but really good after that.
