Nice climbing to the lip then an awesome mantle pocket press. Only had one go at the end of the day. Complained my way to the lip then played around a bit before figuring out how to hold the pocket. Should go next time!

Had a couple goes. The crux boulder is hard! Gaston beta is the way! Gotta bring the feet up high for before bringing the left hand in. Should go fairly easy though! Praying to the skin gods for good healing through the night

Broken holds reported previously hasn't seemed to affect the route much, not quite sure what broke exactly (something quite big did break as I was there at the time), but I would not give this 7c because of it. Went second try after figuring out my sequence

Started from the ground but since read you should start from the boulder, thought the start felt hard! From the last bolt I went up some right holds and someone shouted I should keep left, came back down after clipping the anchor to try the left way and felt the same. Looks like there is a nice 8a variation to try next time!

Retreated after clipping the first QD and touching the first tiny crimps and slippery footholds.
|
|||||||
7a | ★★ Pearl Harbour - with Jennifer H., Jamie T. | 15m | ★★ Very Good | ||||
A really cool line up the overhanging section of the wall. Big holds lead to a boulder crux. Demanding and technical climbing as the angle eases. Intelligent but airy bolting. First whipper of 2018! Soft catch by Jen.
|
|||||||
6c | ★★ Coral Sea - with Jennifer H., Jamie T. | 20m | ★★ Very Good | ||||
Intuitive start, pumpy middle section, technical finish. A great climb! QDs were in and some holds ticked.

Cool moves up a layback flake, then sequency on smaller holds to a jug. Hard to onsight.

Meant to be easy for the grade, but he bouldery style didn't suit me at the time. It took me a good few goes
Can pretty much be broken down in 2 two halves if you take the good rest at the break

7a+ | ★ Roof of Inequity (The Root of Inequity) | 17m | ★ Good | ||||
Easy up to the roof, which needs a bit of oomph, but the holds are good.
I found campusing it easier than trying to find the usable feet.
|
|||||||
7c+ | ★★★ Storm Warning | ★★ Very Good | |||||
Very nice. After having done Chulilla, this went down quite quick.
I did spend A LOT of time on Storm Warning Variation (Fr8a), which is not listed here, but never ticked it.
The Variation takes the first half of Storming Warning (also share with Black Snake Moan and Brean Topping, 8a and 8b respectively). After the break it goes straight back into Chulilla (instead of traversing horizontally). As a consequence you arrive backwards in the crux of Chulilla. Probably makes more sense at the crag...

I DID A ROUTE, OUTSIDE, ON REAL ROCK in between the showers on the only dry patch of rock in southwest England. Glad I saved something at Brean. Not as nasty as people say, definitely not 7a, more like Portland 6c

Brilliant climbing! Second shot redpoint after having an excellent and rather long fall off the heel-hook and skin-fucking crimpers. Good to keep my belayer awake! Felt totally solid - awesome long, technical and bouldery sequence - the whole route's a crux!
