Ascents in Black Rocks

Was left out of first ever guide as it was deemed 'Unjustifiably dangerous'.I was inspired to do it by the 'Hard Grit' video'. It gets hard at the top of the crack.

Warm up of the day.

Lovely dynos

Pity it was not longer. Tuze led.

Run in run out ascent. We were in a rush (to get food) so a speedy lap was had. Pretty easy but the wide spot was a bit thrutchy, climbed via the direct finish. Good fun but a little dirty and sandy, maybe the first lap this season.

EOD seconding Jenga in a speed ascent of it before all the shops closed and we were left without food for dinner. Traversy fun, with a horribly thrutchy crux off width which results in some funky body positions, and tough sloper finale. Worthwhile.

Warm up done with below ascents on 28/9/09

Possibly the best pitch on the wall. Well protected.

It is best to be climbed with double ropes. Otherwise, rope drag will be an issue. Felt very exposed, but it was well protected throughout. Large cams were very helpful.

Good Golly, best learn how to jam before attempting this one again.

This joyful little romp is certainly not hvs and certainly not bold
