Ascents in Third Kid as Red point or First free ascent

retro send

Managed to get 1 climb in before the rain ended things. The climb looks wet, but the important crux holds stay dry. The advertised grade is probably a bit stiff for shorter climbers. It's much nicer now the foliage has been cleared. Also tightened the hanger on the second bolt with Dave 's adjustable spanner.

Fairly easy climbing, with an obvious crux which IMO makes the grade a whole number harder than listed

Finally sent it. Really nice route.

Such a lovely route I couldn't resist a run up it. Loose rock makes it a harder lead than the grade would suggest, but you are rewarded with lovely moves and a beautiful view at the top out.

Faffed around a bit on the crux but untangled myself and finished it off, glad to send this one, really nice face climb.

Finally worked out beta for the top crux to the anchor! Sent it after working the moves a few times. Route has some really fun moves , but is let down by the seepage at the bottom.

Said I would!

Take it easy, except for the crux in the middle which always throws me off a bit. I think it used to be easier and a hold popped at some stage. Always a fun climb.

Stoked!!!

Following the rules of Circuit breaker, by exercising in a park with a member of my household. Warm-up

Following the rules of Circuit breaker, by exercising in a park with a member of my household. Helped Cat send this pink-point this today! Stoked for her.

Cat's still working this route...today she got it clean on TR !!

Skipped a clip at the end for a more right-skewed route. Might try again to follow the bolts more closely in the future, but I'm calling this a send!

two attempts before redpoint. solid route, easy once beta's figured out.

Fear, desperation and bad memory had me using some interesting beta which at one point involved a 'middle finger single pad mono' (MFSPM) on my right. Somehow it worked, but not recommended beta. Got flash pump from the crux, cuz there was zero warm-up, and struggled up the rest. 10/10 would recommend!

Thank goodness I don't have to do this route again.

trusty foothold

Cool vertical climb with a lovely and sustained technical crux sequence up the arete. Be careful while headed for the first bolt as bottom of the climb is rather mossy and slippery.

Good
