Ascents in Animal Biscuit Valley as Hang dog

Forgot the sequence and pitched off at top crux, got to do the whole top overhang again.

Didn’t find the right hand over the right arete and hangdogged after the second clip on this onsight attempt.

Second attempt was slightly better. Got a left hand on the final lip but could match and hangdogged again before topping out and cleaning off the gear argh!

Clipped the last bolt on this onsight attempt but was too tired to do the move to the lip and hangdogged before topping out

That will take a couple of tries more here...

Still work out the moves, this time sound the 3rd bolt. End last worked surprisingly fine.

Top rope for first attempt. Two times a rest in crux. Really good line but very precise in feet placement. Definitely worth its grade.

Slab is dirty as

Attempted onsight. Rest in 5th bolt.

Second attempt. Clean til past last bolt.

Hard, bouldery start with dynamic move up onto the face. From there it gets pretty straightforward yet moves are great but can be tricky.

Quite slick in the autumn morning before the sun hits it!

Overhung start, felt bouldery to me, then onto the arête and up a little slab to the top

Beware the wasp nest on the left halfway up (almost stuck my foot into it)! Slightly negative for the first half with sharp pockets (unfortunately chose to hangdog for the sake of the skin on my fingers - should have taped), followed by easy slab to the anchor

Better than it looks. I had no power left for OS at the end of the day but I'll definetely come back for this one.

Beautiful long climb, unfortunately chose to top rope it rather than lead and then didn't have the motivation to do it cleanly

Superb line, crag sandbag undoubtably, I got shut down on this late in the afternoon dripping with sweat and a two draw long crux on a gorgeous layback flake covered with chalk, massive cruxy boulder start small crimps and slopers, but gorgeous rock that I’m the right conditions has perfect friction.

Strong move over the bulge, past the bulge it becomes easy slab toward anchor, some sharp pockets

Still got stuck to the crux.

Sans-cap, got the clip then forgot my own beta at the lip and sat for a think. Aha. Don't match, use both pockets, bridge left and drop-knee. Feh. Pleasant climbing from there on.

Still got stuck with the last move, but topped eventually after a short break. Maybe next time.

Unpumped, another go after watching grant's lefty compressed finish. Longish fall off that. Reaching right definitely better for me. 4 times through the top overhang by now, enough.

Made the start harder than needed, got fairly pump through the rest, fell off at the top crux. Got through next go but hard to clip the anchor due to mucho pumpo. Any suggestion this might be 18 is laughable.
