Ascents in Lizard Block as Clean

Good warm up.

21/9/2002, First lead fall; between the highest en-route bolt and the lower-off point, with the bolt a metre below my feet. Got stuck at the crux, pumped out one arm and strained the tendons; too knackered to go again after I fell off. Seconded with no problems (couldn't even find the bit I fell on; I think I must've accidentally skipped a bolt first time around) on 8/6/03

Lead to the 4th bolt then lost my nerve - didn't trust my arms after hanging onto Lounge Lizard. Top rope fine. Have to come back another day when I've got more bottle.

No fun on a cold morning - hands wooden, numb and painful. Glad to get away to some sunnier faces.

Dang, thought it was a tougher grade

Don't really get this climb: I can't imagine how you'd do it straight up - nothing there on the 2nd bolt, not a lot more on the 3rd, but even sneaking off to the crack on the right, it's a pretty stiff 18.

grunty climb

Slightly tricksy bit 2/3rds of the way up

Nice to come back to something I struggled with a year ago and think, "Ahh, this is so much easier now."

Cool last move

Stiff for the grade!!
