18 Gladiator Trad 20m Very Good
Quite a technical crux section. 10-Oct-04 Hugh fell 5m on this middle part. Finally got on this climb to lead it and found it a relative breeze.

20 Devils Dihedral Trad 45m Mega Classic
Absolutely brilliant climbing, that never relents in both class or its grade. There are a few rests but it still tests your endurance. I thought I wasn't up for it, but figured what the hell.... ended up cruising it.... made me feel GOOD!!

 
21 Conquistador Trad 45m Mega Classic
Incredible climb. I really need to lead this before the end of the year. It's all there and just classy climbing the whole way. I bit tricky turning the corner into the fist jams. You also have to just motor through the overhanging crack through the good holds. Great climb!! Seconded Jamie.

16 Satan's Smokestack Trad 40m Very Good
Very thrutchy but it seems to grow on you the further you go. The move outside the wide crack down low is a bit hairy. Worth doing but I wouldn't rave about it.

 
20 Footloose and Falling Free Trad 11m Classic
Brilliant pumpy climbing with decent pro. Aliens are useful in the thin parallel crack through the crux.

 
19 Hollywood Rattlesnake Trad 18m Very Good
Really very nice. Plenty of good gear and did the whole climb with only wires and one hex. Well worth the effort.

21 Warlock DS Trad 26m Very Good
I reckon it's 20. Difficult, but not 21.

 
17 16 Micron Trad 20m Very Good
Great climb, but not worth three stars. The start is a grovel and the great moves only last 10m. Worth doing though. Funny I haven't done it already.

 
18 Warlock Trad 26m Very Good
A great line and I reckon only worthy if it's done direct. Why would you climb a great line by using the start of another climb? Gotta be done direct and I reckon solid 20 start.

20 Egotistical Pinapple Trad 14m Very Good
Seconded Chris and enjoyed it quite a lot, except the difficult start. One day I'll give it a go on lead.

 
15 Pop-up Toaster Trad 6m Don't Bother
Only reason we did this was to fill in the remainder of the day after being on EP. Fairly crappy and a worthless top out. Rap off the big tree above to the right.

15 Big Top Trad 25m Classic
Very nice, airy finish to SITC, although I climbed a new variant start on the far left arete to gain Big Top.

19 18 Plume Trad 25m Classic
Great climb. It was my first for the day and so it pumped me big time. Great climbing and great gear.

 
20 Termination Trad 18m Very Good
What a great climb. A few wierd moves, but great climbing and ample gear. Definately deserves a star.

 
20 Piranha Trad 45m Classic
An absolute stunning climb, with almost all the moves in the book. Long but has three good rests. Thinkabout it and you won't get pumped. Great gear all the way, except the bottom 7m is a bit fiddly.

 
6 Saturday Afternoon Walk Trad 15m Good
Bumbled up this climb to get to the ledges above. Quite nice for a beginner, I reckon. The short 5m corner above to the Termination ledge is a great continuation for beginners too.

20 The Great Big Bright Green Pleasure Machine Trad 33m Classic
Fantastic Climb that deserves two stars. If you can get past the initial off-width. The face and crack work above is beyond comprehension. Awesome! Do it, do it!

21 The Stars Look Down Trad 18m Classic
had to climb it after photographing Andy on it. next time I'll lead it for the redpoint. Awesome climb with a thought-provoking crux on gear that needs to be well placed. The top section is fantastic and well protected. Lead it on 22-05-05. Cruised it!

 
11 Condor Trad 18m Very Good
Seconded Troy so that I could get up to the ledge and abseil off the side of The Stars Look Down and photograph Andy.

19 Sorcerer's Apprentice Trad 30m Classic
What can I say, but do it if you're climbing 20, because it's a very strenuous 19. It's well worth it though. Jamming and the occasional needed face hold.

Lead the first three pitches with Phil, so I could see for next time where it goes and where the remaining pitches go. The third pitch is fecking awesome! Not a climb for grade 16 climbers! Should be taken very serious.

Felt comfortable. Little tough in places but plenty of good feet. Save some energy for the hand jam finish. Look for face holds to mix it up a bit. Awesome climb.

18 Borderline 29 Trad 15m Mega Classic
Absolute classic climb with exposure max! Thought provoking traverse gets you ento the enjoyable finger crack with plenty of pro. Set of wires and a couple of small cams is all you need.

fantastic line! Wish I now had the chance to have onsighted it! Ah well. We actually climbed the direct start (17). Update: Lead it finally with the direct start. Didn't remember it being so much fun!

15 Bad Company Trad 20m Good
Very nice corner with plenty of good face holds to keep your feet out of the crack. Need no large gear.

 
18 Elastic RURP Trad 20m Classic
Excellent climbing with a couple of sustained 4 meter sections but good rests all the way. Has all the moves and deserves another star, and soft for the grade.

17 Smoked Banana Trad 40m Classic
Great climbing, with ample rests to negotiate the two major cruxes, one low and one through the bulge. Great gear all the way. The chockstones are bommer and the squirm chimney relents to easier squirming the higher you go.

15 Iron Butterfly Trad 28m Very Good
Becoming very pumped down low unfortunately set me up for a long, endurious pumpfest on the enjoyable moves through the bulgey flake. Great pro, but I still sketched out!

 
14 Electric Lead Trad 26m Good
Nice line. Comfortable.

 
15 Mechanical Prune Trad 18m Very Good

First time on it and I don't think it deserves an 18. It's very soft for 18!

 
19 Chubba Chips Mods Mixed trad 20m, 3 Very Good
Fist time on it and I fall, sliming off the first ledge twice. Starting again and continuously wipingg my hands I manage to pump up past the 1st 3 bolts to cruise the rest. Book say 18 and 20 in description and index. Hmm It's solid 19.
