Grade Route Gear style Quality
Mon 16th Sep 2019 - Lundy
The Devil's Slide Area The Devil's Slide
HS 4b The Devil's Slide - with Glen Stidever Trad 120m
Nice route but overrated. The place is amazing but there are better ways up this great slide. Glen led P1&2 (linked) and 5. I led 3&4 (linked).

 
VS Albion - with Glen Stidever Unknown
Awesome route.

 
Sat 14th Sep 2019 - Lundy
Landing Craft Bay St Patrick's Buttress
E1 Meninirons - with Glen Stidever Trad Very Good
E2 5c Destiny - with Glen Stidever Trad 75m
Fell a couple of times in the crux. Footholds at the crux are polished. I needed to save some juice for what it comes afterwards as it is not easy. Hard on the grade. Led most of it. with Glen Stidevee

 
VS 4c Shamrock - with Glen Stidever Trad 49m
Second pitch is interesting.

 
Tue 10th Sep 2019 - Avon Gorge
Sea Walls Area The New Quarry
6b+ Jurassic Lark - with Simon B Sport 10m, 4
Good moves but hard to know what is in and what's not.

 
6b No CSC - with Simon B Sport 25m
I think I traversed to high so it was quite hard.

 
Sun 8th Sep 2019 - Portland
Wallsend Wallsend South Trad Free World
6b Trad Free World - with Smurf-cat Sport 28m
It suppose to be a warm up...

 
6b+ The Jewel of the Isle - with Smurf-cat Sport 30m
Big fall at the crux. It requires more stamina.

 
6a+ Stalker's Zone - with Smurf-cat Sport 30m
Beautiful route. Very popular though.

 
Sat 7th Sep 2019 - Portland
Battleship Battleship Back Cliff The Back Cliff
6b+ Raise the Titanic - with Smurf-cat Sport 25m
One rest at the crux. Ignore the small pockets, just focus on the feet and use the medium size pockets/handholds.

 
6a The Price of Silence - with Smurf-cat Sport 20m
It felt harsh, specially the traverse at the top. Maybe next time go straight up.

 
7a+ Koenig Class - with Smurf-cat Sport 16m
Weird route with some interesting moves.

 
Sat 7th Sep 2019 - Portland
Battleship Battleship Edge Keyboard Wall Area

Worked it a couple of times. I need more stamina.

 
Mon 19th Aug 2019 - Avon Gorge
Suspension Bridge Suspension Bridge Buttress
HVS 4c Limbic Dystrophy - with Lolly Pope Trad 60m
Scary. The beginning sets you in the wrong mindset for the rest of the route. The quality of the rock is terrible at the beginning, dubious in the mid and ok at the top. Took a longer than expected.

 
Thu 15th Aug 2019 - Wynd cliff
S 4b The Crack - with Lolly Pope Trad
A cracking route

 
Wed 31st Jul 2019 - Wyndcliff Quarry

Upper Cliff
5c Tameness - with Cat_McK Sport
7a Wilkinson's Sword - with Cat_McK Sport
First attempt after a year without trying I fell at the top just before the easy handhold (that I didn't know it was there). Second I attempt I sent it quite smoothly. Very happy. Second 7a.

6b+ Full Metal Cymbal - with bouldering_matt Sport 18m, 6
Awesome route. Hard for the grade.

 
6b No crag for old men - with bouldering_matt Sport

Sun 21st Apr 2019 - Portland
Blacknor South Sacred Angel Area
6b+ Hot Pants Explosion - with Amber Daly Sport
Fell at the top. I got a bit confused as I didn't read the guidebook and I didn't know if I should go left or right. Tried right and it was quite hard so I fell again. Tried left again and it felt easyish after knowing the moves.

 
Sat 20th Apr 2019 - Portland
The Cuttings Main Cliff
3a Magical Misty Tour - with Amber Daly Sport
3a Charity Work Mate - with Amber Daly Sport
5c The Sod - with Amber Daly Sport 12m
Hard for the grade and reachy. 6a+? Start is confusing in the Rockfax guide. The start is in the arete, and from there rightwards.

Hard. Crimp feels impossible.

 
5c Little Chef - with Amber Daly Sport

The more I do it the more I like it.

 
Sun 24th Mar 2019 - Ban-y-Gor
Nine Lives
5c The Chubby Brown Syndrome - with Eva, Russell Jackson Sport
A poor route poorly bolted. Best to ignore except you like smearing, dynamic moves and a combination of both... In a 5+

It felt harder with the cold.

Sun 24th Feb 2019 - Avon Gorge
Avon Main Area Morning Slab

I did 2nd and 3rd pitches together. I went left on the third pitch to spice up things.

 
Sat 17th Nov 2018 - Brean Down
Boulder Cove
6c Coral Sea - with Russell Jackson, Alex Law Sport 20m
It is ok after you get the right sequence.

 
Mon 17th Sep 2018 - Avon Gorge
Suspension Bridge Giant's Cave Buttress Area
VS 4c Giant's Cave Buttress - with Luis Trad
Led P1 only as I left P3 for my friend Luis to enjoy. Found P1 quite scary, the first 5-8mts without much protection. I have seen that lots of people uses the flake at the top of P1 for belaying. Wondering for how long that flake will stay there...

 
Sun 16th Sep 2018 - Heptonstall
The Yellow Wall
HS Fairy Lites - with Alex C, Russell Jackson Unknown 24m
Only the first section is worth it, then it is a bunch of loose and grassy stuff. I went to the top as I didn't fancy the abseil from some small bushes.

 
Sun 16th Sep 2018 - Fairy Caves Quarry
The Glacis
VD Minute Waltz - with Alex C, Russell Jackson Trad 20m
Climbed it to assess the protection that Russ used while mock leading it. On my approach shoes. Nice easy moves. Slightly tricky to protect for a beginner.

 
E1 5b Strictly Ballroom - with Alex C, Russell Jackson Trad 25m
Nice slabby moves over dubious protection. This was my second E1 and now I went to go back to climb VSs... I wonder how many pieces of protection would actually hold on a proper fall ????

 
Sat 15th Sep 2018 - Fairy Caves Quarry
W/L Cave Area
VD Back to Basics - with Russell Jackson Trad 50m
I have climbed this before but clearly not in my logbook. Nice easy line.

 
Sat 15th Sep 2018 - Fairy Caves Quarry
Shatter Cave Area
VS 4b Truffle - with Russell Jackson Trad 9m
I tried Toblerone but the movement was too bold for me so I detoured to this one.

 
Sat 15th Sep 2018 - Fairy Caves Quarry
W/L Cave Area
HS 4a Balch's Slide - with Russell Jackson Trad 45m
Sat 15th Sep 2018 - Fairy Caves Quarry

Fri 17th Aug 2018 - Wyndcliff Quarry
Upper Cliff
6b+ Woke Up Dreamin' - with Russell Jackson Sport 6
5c Hollow Talk - with Russell Jackson Sport
6a Healing potion - with Russell Jackson Sport
Quite tricky

 
6b+ Woke Up Dreamin' - with Russell Jackson Sport 6
Russ couldn't finish it so I went up again in top rope. This time no rest on the big jug half way up. Felt easier, probably 6b.

 
4b Full fat diet - with Russell Jackson Sport
Tue 14th Aug 2018 - Ban-y-Gor
Nine Lives
5c The Chubby Brown Syndrome Sport
Climbing on trainers as a warm up... No ideal as you have to smear. Shitty route.

 
6b+ Discharge Sport
Not an easy one to onsight as it is not quite obvious. Sent it in second attempt. Awkward route.

 
5c The Blessing Sport
The route should go more to the left to make it more interesting or to the right to make it easier... There in the middle it is a bit of a hesitation.

 
Sun 5th Aug 2018 - Goblin Combe
Owl Rock
VS 4c Treebeard - with Tom Gape Trad 20m
VS Elrond - with Tom Gape Trad 20m
This time I found protection inside the big crack! It felt lot easier than last time.

 
E1 5b Gundabad - with Tom Gape Trad 20m
My first E1. I wish I had taken more N`1 nuts.

 
E2 5c The Goblin King - with Smurf-cat Trad 20m
Pumpy, pumpy. I was happy to have a rest before the last movement.

 
Thu 26th Jul 2018 - Cheddar

A bit scary for the grade.

 
Sat 7th Jul 2018 - Portland

5c Inception Sport 15m
Grade is hard around here...

Had 2 big falls after the crux. Just really tired.
