Ascents in Wye Valley having Beta

Really fun link up with cool undercut moves

Psyched to get this pretty quickly after figuring out the beginning - scary match at the end!!

6a+ if you use the big ledge on the left after coming round the arete, v cool for the grade

second try, given 6c in the guidebook which I think is fair. very thoughtful crux, rest is pretty chill

In the guide book it is a 6a

Good line.

Unless holds have broken off for the crux move, it's pretty unfeasible for the grade. Definitely have done easier 6B+'s than this 6B.

Excellent line, but quite strange with the ten spaced bolts below, then widely spaced throughout the cruxes. Nonetheless, a good line.

Great solo! Managed to climb the whole route in about twenty minutes! One or two sections in there that was a bit nerving, but lots of ledges in-between technical sections!

Cheeky rest day lap to get some more trad multipitch in before Riglos.

Tough for the grade

V4 start into 6B. Fun route.

Wet layback crack

Foot slipped on the last move 😂

Wet day warmup

second try

bit shit and loose on the first pitch, and more compact but average climbing on the second

Tough V5 boulder problem to a rest, then stacks into another V4 problem. Beautiful line.

Beautiful movement through crux.

A bit contrived, easy to make the climb softer.

Polished. Broken hold at the start.

Third try - good, techy arete climbing

UKC states grade 6c

UKC states grade 6b+

UKC states grade 6b+

Good line, may be slightly soft for the grade.

First time outdoor bouldering in a long time. Was getting super close on this. Worsening conditions and bad skin. Next time.

Good gear below. Not so good gear up high. Still a good line overall.

Nails for VS but an amazing route

felt pretty pushy for the grade but I was also quite dehydrated after a day of trad in the sun!

Led P1, thin but very nice moves

Led P1

Replaced threads. Jamming feels better. Crux move still a stopper.

Felt harder than last time, especially moves through second and third overhang.

A block and hold (?) seem to have come off.

Damp, felt hard.

Drying out after some torrential rain. Birthday climbing for Jon!

Almost decked from slip whilst clipping the third bolt.

2nd try

3rd try, technical, polished, fun!

2nd try - would be a great route if it wasn't a bit of an eliminate

alt leads with george

Worse than it looks, incredibly muddy and overgrown. Split into two pitches but could have been done in one - there's a big ledge about 8m from the top to build an anchor. Then traversed to the final part of Lyon for second pitch to a tree belay. Scrambled up to a footpath which lead to eagles nest for a good view.

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.

Best route in the white slab in my opinion

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.

nails for 6a+...or just standard ban-y-gor grading!
