Ascents in North Shore as Clean

Suprised to do it from the bottom including cruddy crimps and avoiding left corner, and lizard in upper break :-O

Actual arete finishing right is about 17 though it's not the actual route.

Easier than last time.

Six previous ascents? I must think it's good ...

Managed to avoid the wet right wall by 'powering' up the middle block: jambs ahoy! And bravo to Haily for leading the nano tradventure.

Starting move harder than 10 to lead

Tricky after last carrot. Slap around for hidden jug

Almost easier than the 14s to the right. Hard start but then fairly juggy

Tried it on lead but bailed due to the stiff runout start. Not close to a 14 in my book

A tricky little number.

After rain, the hold under the second bolt gets dirty, making sticking the long reach from the mono a little harder. Fun climb.

Cleaning

This climb needs a thorough clean, particularly the crimps that you reach to for the crux. The upper section is covered in lichen and dirt making it nothing like the superb climb it was two years ago. Judging from the amount of muck in the good incuts near the top, it doesn't appear to have been climbed in a while - and with good reason.

A bit dirty in the upper section after the recent months and months of rain. Should improve with more ascents

slipped off but thankfully was on top rope

Nice little dyno start, then on to easy slab. Dropped from the anchors and broke my ankle. Gravity sucks and so does a poor belay.

Pretty hard start with bad feet kind of reachy using shallow Sandy pockets but worth jumping on lovely moves through the whole thing

while its as hard as a crux on a 20, a climber below the grade could probably free the route

Working out gear placements

setting up the top rope helped with the fear of heights

Easy top rope anchor bolts accessible from approach

Easy top rope anchor bolts accessible from approach

Toprope wall 2m right, should add another route.
