Ascents in Wye Valley

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

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

Good line, may be slightly soft for the grade.

A bit contrived, easy to make the climb softer.

Beautiful movement through crux.

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

Wet day warmup

Foot slipped on the last move 😂

Wet layback crack

V4 start into 6B. Fun route.

Tough for the grade

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

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!

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

Good line.

Bit hairy with a single rope

Precarious broken boulder looming above is slightly disconcerting.

A thin crack at the beginning was a manageable start but soon became tricky with suspect flakes and only the occasional micro-nut as pro throughout the mid section. An exposed grapple over a bulge led to a nice groove to layback up and then blocks to scamper up to finish.

ok

Fun stuff. A bit go-ey at the top.

tasty

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

The only thing that makes this interesting is that every hold might snap off.

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.
