Ascents in Crag X

Long and subtle

A bit Ledgy, but quite nice

Not a 5 star route as the book says, kind of ok finger crack

Some good bits, but seemed a bit easy, must have been the crimps

Had some really nice moves, but also really dirty. Gear is thin, but OK, and can lace it up around the crux

Good slabbing, just short.

Also placed a 0.4BD before the first bolt halfway up. Really dirty initial slab. Had to come in from the right a bit below the second bolt. Broke a footer on the first shot.

Great fun, and has a few marginal moves going around the arete. Longer than I expected!

Second shot. Took too long trying to place gear after bolts on first shot. Gear is completely bomb-proof, and not that hard to place once you figure out where! Yellow metolious in finger crack, which is easily passed.

Good fun, and a pumpy warmup!

Super relaxing, climbed in approach shoes.

Good fun. Only seemed vaguely familiar until I looked down from the chains. Didn't bother with top pitch.

Excellent climbing with good rests and gear. Would be best to do in a single pitch, but had already used most of my thin stuff down below. Upper corner didn't feel any harder than the crack below, just intimidating with the ledge below. Great wires in corner.

Finger crack start makes it interesting compared to the start given in guidebook (right of finger crack)

An enjoyable climb.

Some nice crimps

Climbing this in the heat made it a little more spicy then it normally would be. Still had a blast!

Just read that it had 4 bolts and started climbing without my rack. Probably should have noticed that it needed some gear as well :p
