Fun stuff. Clip the bolt out left on SMD then campus back out the big finger rail and double heel-hook and slap your way direct up the hanging prow

Daniel Mateos
Sun 24th Jul 2022
Really fits the description "tough cookie", what a sandbag... hardest 6b+ of my life. 1st 2 bolts are probably a V3+/V4 continuous boulder problem, took a while to unlock the sequence. All in all I'd say this is at least 6c. Really satisfied with the send.

Not sure if did the direct line 6b or a hibrid. The step up on the bad foot without going to the jugs on the right felt more than 6a.

Fantastic crux sequence takes some finding. The real climbing might be over quicker than you want, but it packs a punch in those meters. My first 7b.

How bizarre. Stand underneat and you SWEAR it's a slab, then wonder why you get so pumped, and figure out it actually overhangs. Cool climbing.

5a Day Break - with Russell Jackson Sport
Fernando Hidalgo
Wed 1st Jul 2015
Easy start, awkward end. Definitively not a 4, not even 4+ more like a 5. WARNING the first bolt is very very high. All bolts are rusty and there is only one rusty abseil point (bolt with mallion).

I would recommend not to climb this route.

The route itself is not that bad so it would be great to rebolt it and to put a proper abseil station with two bolts with rings.

A poor route poorly bolted. Best to ignore except you like smearing, dynamic moves and a combination of both... In a 5+

Climbing on trainers as a warm up... No ideal as you have to smear. Shitty route.

Not an easy one to onsight as it is not quite obvious. Sent it in second attempt. Awkward route.

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.
