Fun potential project in anti style. Cool easier climbing leads to a super awesome sequence I made with an inside toe and heel hooks to keep tension moving between side pulls ! Feeling like a real steep climber! Tried hard, couldn’t quite work out 2 moves through the crux. Nice fingerlockin top

Such incredible rock features: smooth horizontal scoops carved out. Super beautiful. Felt so hard first go, so was not expecting a send. Quite big dynamic moves. Worked out the start with better direct beta, then quickly got sooo pumped, and really had to work for it. I didn’t fall which was epic! Stick clipped the 2nd draw.

Free soloed by both; very easy climbing. 3 bolts are present if you want to sport climb it, or in case of rain. | 120m | ★★ Very Good | ||||
Pitch 3 is a 5.9 for a medium height or short climber (not just one move but most of the pitch). This route is well below our climbing level, but P3 is a 5.9 if you’re 5"4-5"5 or under; reachy holds and one key foothold and handhold is loose. You could climb around but the falls would not be great. As the route is new, if key holds break off at this pitch as the years pass, I suggest thinking of maybe cleaning to the left and moving the route a bit, if the pitch becomes unpassable for short climbers in the future. If not, pitch 3 would become way harder and the route might get less traffic.

The grade is well below our climbing level; therefore we linked multiple pitches (P1, P2-3, P4-5-6, P7-8-9-10) and we were clipping very few draws to avoid drag. Not to be done unless you want to basically free solo it, as the falls would be bad.
For a beginner climber: should do one pitch at a time as you could run out of quickdraws, very well bolted. |

Checked out the beta on toprope. There's a technical crux which is however not so strenuous with the beta figured out. Should have sent it in the second try, but it was the last route of the day and getting colder, and I had freezing fingers in the crux. I actually climbed the crux without feeling anything in the fingertips, holding on with way too much force and got over the most difficult part - but then, you still have to hold some small crimps and without any sort of feeling in the fingers I got too pumped and fell off.

Good go but I fell on the first crux. After this I completely changed beta for this. I also found a good position to clip the draw before the second crux.

Awesome go, I nearly got it, fell at the end of the second crux. I need to pull with my right feet which is high.

5.8 | ★★ St. Elmo's Fire - with Sally Baker | 20m, 8 | ★★★ Classic | ||||
Really fun climb, lead it on trad and very glad I didn't do it as sport, there is plenty of gear the whole way. Saw lots of people struggle with the start but there are excellent hand jams in the crack, get in there! Would definitely climb again.

5.9 | ★ Mystery - with Sally Baker | 15m, 6 | ★ Good | ||||
Setup a top rope after first hang dog attempt, climbed it clean although still found between the second and third bolt to be a lot trickier than other 5.9s at Chek. Sustained 1st half of the climb

5.7 | ★ Flaming Arete - with Sally Baker | 10m | |||||
Great fun climb up the arete, plenty of hands and feet, no distinct crux for me, it's not a huge issue with the bolts being to the right of the climb a part from the second, a bit of a stretch to get there.

5.9 | ★ Mystery - with Sally Baker | 15m, 6 | |||||
First attempt at this was tricky, I found the crux between the first and second bolt on small mono pockets while trying to move to the right then up. The climb does ease halfway but still seems to be sustained 5.8 climbing to the chains

Pretty good climb, would benefit from having a chimney sweep come through and clean this route, lots of debris! Sal lead the second pitch and was tested mentally going from the second to third bolt with buldgy and thin moves, got it with some patience! Nice lead for her
