Ascents in Lizard Block having Beta

Absolute sandbag. If learning to lead, be aware that it’s very awkward and committing for a 14. If looking for an easy beginner lead, looks else where.

Nice

Quite tricky to read at crux and pumped out.

Hard suspended motion onsight. Shutdown at the crux figuring out what to do. Three possible options were presented, eventually decided to go left of the crack. Unclear if this was the right way. Top section a bit sandy, some fragile holds.

Total sandpit near the bottom, but then very enjoyable easy chimney style climbing.

Tricky, not the best warmup. Fell clipping first bolt - best to use stick clip.

So much lichen

Mostly a waste of time. The moves out of cave were the best bit (although hard for 14), everything else is super missable. Moves up to anchor are just not good

Late log.

Lotta holds! Anchor looked fine to me though, not sure if the warning still stands?

23 feels ridiculously generous. I guess the mono move might be hard for some but it's so solid, you'd be hard pressed to struggle at all on this.

Probably one of the few that is at grade.

Top is a little run out

Stiff for the grade!!

Very interesting climb, but not 21 for sure

Tried to clean it as much as possible, so many spider webs

Pretty intense boulder-problem start. Probably best to stick clip. Sneaky hidden pocket round the back of the final arete is stunning when you find it.

A repeat bare foot. Because I wanted to feel like a gecko

Great route, same difficulty as gecko

Great

Warm up, very sharp and felt hard for 14?

Stoked! My first 23 that managed to tick.

Stoked! My first 23 that managed to tick.

Terrible contrived peace of poo

Cool last move

Felt a bit harder than 15. Had to dodge some angry ants

Repeat, good once you reach the orange section, but definately soft. Nice to be out and about though in these times

very mantley climbing

awesome climbing, lots of options

Absolute choss 👎

Good climbing and some spider webs to add to the excitement. Felt harder than a 15 to me.

Great adventure, 14 draws. None of the rock broke so stick to the chalked holds!

"easy" move. Average slab to top. Alright if you're in the area

Mega crimps, well deserved tick.

End of the day pump got me. Solid crimps

As of 10/9/2020 there is a pigeon up and to the right of the anchors who likes to dash out loudly when you get there. Deserves another star

Bit of everything on this sustained slab

Definitely not 23. Nice sustained crimping

Crimps galore

Nice ramble up the crack and arete

What a gem!

Said hello to my plant friends on this slab

Slab?
