6b+ | ★★★ Avidya — 3 attempts | 12m | ★★★ Classic | ||||
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.

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

6b+ | Discharge | ||||||
Not an easy one to onsight as it is not quite obvious. Sent it in second attempt. Awkward route.
|
|||||||
5c | ★ The Blessing | ||||||
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.

Awkward route, especially at the end.
|
|||||||
5a | Day Break - with Russell Jackson | ||||||
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. |
