19 | ★★ The West Face of the Mirrorball (The West Face of the Mirrorball (19 var.)) | 120m | ★★★ Mega Classic | Fri 23rd Jan 2004 | |||
Awesome! Led 1st, 3rd, 4th pitch. Tom lead 2nd. Thought 4th pitch was hardest. Really exposed climb! Walk-in is a bitch.

22 21 | ★★ Lady Stardust | 21m, 6 | ★★ Very Good | Sat 3rd May 2003 | |||
Quite true to it's grade. Has some tricky little moves, and is more sustained than anything I've done at Barden's, but alas it is still a soft tick.
|
|||||||
22 | ★★ Hang onto Yourself | 20m | ★★★ Classic | Sat 3rd May 2003 | |||
Pretty damn nice! Gets a "classic" because of excellent exposure, interesting climbing, and good protection. However, it is NOT a 22, crux is maybe a 21 if that (especially since I did it with frozen fingers and still did it quite easily.)
|
|||||||
21 | ★★ Starman | 25m | ★★ Very Good | Sat 3rd May 2003 | |||
Graded 21 in Pircher/Carter's latest, and I agree with that grading. A very nice climb, with the crux down.

19 20 | ★ Change Junkies | 20m | ★ Good | Sat 3rd May 2003 | |||
Meant to be the warm-up for the day, but was surprisingly technical for a 19. Cold weather made things difficult.

19 | ★ Silence of the Cams | 15m, 5 | Average | Sat 28th Dec 2002 | |||
Not bad! Straight up, easy holds. Quite delicate!
|
|||||||
19 | ★ Exploding Budgies | 15m | Don't Bother | Sat 28th Dec 2002 | |||
OK, but definitely harder than "Cams". Big rising traverse means lots of drag - probably why it loses a star ...
|
|||||||
22 | ★★ Moan Groan Dial Tone | 15m | ★★ Very Good | Sat 28th Dec 2002 | |||
Technically quite easy, just strenuous! Nice laybacks and a bit of everything. Had a cool "leg-swing" move!

10 8 | ★★ Hocus Pocus | 49m, 15 | ★★ Very Good | Mon 9th Jun 2003 | |||
Did it as a climb-out in single pitch with packs. LOADS of rope drag = sore legs. If a sport climb, very run-out, but easy.

|
|||||||
17 | ★★★ Flake Crack | 53m | ★★★ Mega Classic | Sat 15th Nov 2003 | |||
Super climb! Did in in 2 pitches, purely because I wanted my medium cams retrieved. Swallows a lot of medium gear. The small roof is ... exciting!
|

25/12/02 - First second on trad gear. Wish I led it, but would probably be too scared. 24/5/03 - Planned to go round to Flake Crack, but couldn't go past this thing! Truly an awesome line! Totally enjoyable! First 'real' trad lead ( > grade 14!!)

First move eats up all of the 18 grading. The rest is a 7? Easy solo. Some walkouts would be harder.
