Ascents in The Valley of Shaddai

More of a highball boulder problem

Steep. Reach to the left of the arete to get past the first bolt at 10c

Slight sandbag? Foot slipped, got it second shot

A bit silly leaving the natural line just before the top.

Did the direct start at 11a, although the top was definitely the hardest.

Really fun little climb. Would be well worth the two stars if it didn't have so much lichen and moss!

NOT 11b! Think 11d is more likely. Long cruxy section near roof, with a couple of boulder problems. Got the first one figured easily, but there must be an easier way to do the second one!

Very cruxy start eases off to nice climbing. Desperate need of a clean.

Should combine with Avalon for a single pitch, otherwise really short.

Scary on roped solo! Think I'd feel safer leading this one. Really cool little pitch.

Balancy. Might feel a little easier at the bottom if I didn't have to smear on lichen...

Would be a whole lot nicer (and easier) if I had spent an hour cleaning it instead of 20 minutes

Awesome! The only thing detracting from it is the ledge just after the first crux. Took about 10 tries to get the first crux near the 5th bolt, then another cruxy move near the last bolt.

The best pitch of crack I've done for ages. As good or better than p1 of Supernatural.

Only do this one if you're trying to put your climbing partner off crack climbing. A chance it wouldn't be so shitty if it was cleaner.

Working. Climbed through the crux.

Sent on top rope. Fired the crux but fell off after on lead burns. Bit of a mega project this one.

Three-hang lead burn. Had to give it one proper try for the season. Logging this as a “tick” just for Ethan (who will definitely read this). Ran out of time to project this properly. Will have to come back in a few years for the proper redpoint. Best rock I’ve ever touched

A great crack climb that should recieve a bit more attention.

at the pull over at the end of the bulge look for a hold out right dont get suckered left, the slab at the top stay a little left.

I wish this area saw a little traffic so it cleaned up there is fun climbing here
