Ascents in Sloth Area

Not as fun. Some techy slab work. Reachy in some places. But good warmup

Loved loved loved this climb. Slab then sustained jugs (when you find them ) super flowy and a great route to build mileage.

Hang dogged my way up on this one today. Took a much needed whipper. Pumpy and tough for the grade. At least you get rewarded with a jug haul at the end. Will be back to try redpoint this one 😂

Got spanked. Did not get creative enough with the moves. Next time, maybe ...

So wet, almost impossible to hang onto the holds after roof #1. Pumped out trying to rest and couldn’t pull the long move. Had a hang and sent. Fun route otherwise.

Very wet, eek. A bit more run out than the others, esp in the wet.

Lovely steep climb - not clean today though. Can’t see why this is still graded 16! There is a big hornets nest just below and left of the bolt below the first rings.

As above, works well staying on line, rather than straying left in search of holds.

Works well staying pretty much on the line rather than hunting the neighbours for holds. Beware, very definite ledge fall potential. Clipping holds are good enough, but don’t stuff it, and make sure your belayer is ready to yard.

Brilliant route, in three distinct parts, with diff styles. One for the all round climber! For me, and Jordi, the crux was in the last part, on the slab, desperate. The first 2/3 are solid for 18, the last bit felt way harder.

Awesome route. Only just made it, was sliding off the jugs. Then the flared jams, fun times.
