Ascents in Rat's Crag having Beta

Really sick line, hard.

Accidently deleted this accent oops. Great climb with big moves on big hold. Lots of toe hooks and a dynamic finish.

Pretty standard punter action, kneebar hella painful without a pad. Flapper going for last hold in classic Rats fashion.

Warm up

Hard to get the feet set for the last move

Dirty cut loose on small crimps was the crux.

All moves down except the linking crux move need stronger fingies

tough

maybe even soft for a 5 but great !

Super seggzy

tedious slab.

fun roof climbing on good but very sharp holds

Amazing rock, amazing slab

Sustained and powerful.

Hard start with fairly sustained climbing.

Suitably tough start then lovely rewarding jugs from the middle onwards

Super seggzy

legitness

Went second shot today, feels good when you get the beta dialed.

feels about as hard as all the other v6's in the cave

Harder than pumprocker.

not a 6 thats for sure toe hook beta makes this so easy

Found some good beta and got all the moves, just need to link them next time. Feels like a 5 to me.

Good fun

Cool problem. Big holds

lots of trickery required on this

Retro flash warmup, still dialled after 2 years. soft

Hardest and wettest v5 I've done ha. Maybe there's a correlation... Here's a vid (started just after the first move): https://www.youtube.com/watch/V_M--OitbaE

Very nice middle sequence with a good top-out. Will need to go back with pads to get the send. Probably v4/v5.

Very committing top-out.

Was a little easier than I thought after cleaning the route. Might be harder for shorter climbers.

Harder than The Great Wall but not a V5. Powerful top section, committing.

went second go. quite soft for the grade.

Kinda a weird line as it eliminates holds but whatever. Fun nonetheless.

Good link up

Pretty fun line on nice jugs and underclings, probably not V5 though

Very nice crack (V1/2) to death mantle.

Terrifying last move to nightmare mantle. Bring big pads and spotters, or a rope. Much harder than it looks (V2/3 and then the mantle). Everything on this wall needs pre-send brushing anyway.

Cleaned and established by good friend Izaac Blomley. Stolen by me. Better name would be '2 beers in'.

Great top out cave.

Surprisingly awkward, need to give that wall a good clean to avoid the feet slipping out.

Surprisingly easy top-out. A nice warmup

Took me ages to get this one, kept falling off at the end as I'd hold the undercling too far left to reach the finish hold. Fun with a lot of different options.

Topout feels sketchy, fun moves

Stunning line and super classy and committing climbing. Nowhere near a 3 though.
