Ascents in Stanage having Beta

Gave a couple goes at the end of the day in the dark. Included a hand jam & kneebar. Didn't want to commit to the rock over on the right foot. Really nice, one to come back for definitely.

Nice one. Went pretty quickly. 7A in new guidebook

First redpoint attempt of the day after trying all the moves once

easier than gorilla warfare

Found it harder than your typical VD

Well well, maybe next time. Was too steep, and I could not commit to it.

1st Trad Lead.

Fun to work through the moves but rested.

Struggled on the off width but a fun route

Super fun thin twin crack!

Grit slopers are scary ://

Crux is at the bottom and there is no protection. It is reachy.

Quite a proud first 6A!

Really fun

Fun & slabby

Mega classic & fun

Got stuck at the top of the boulder! Very scary down climb for someone who likes the ground very much.

Backlogs. Could not do the top move through the crack and cheated my way on the right side as people were getting impatient to jump on it

Backlogs. Hard beginning

Backlogs. Nice climb for refreshing gear placements

Trying to get my trad face climbing up a bit… was scary at one point

Fun few moves through roof. Well protected. Could do it with a plan I think

Start seemed 22+ to us! Gave up and climbed the arete coz I was getting pulled sideways by the toprope but still hitting the ground on stretch. Gets HVS 5c on ukc which makes more sense.

Looked like a pretty scary lead to me but Raphael didn’t seem too bothered. Slab with shallow breaks…

Actually the Diff ‘Tango Descent’ to the left, to take photos of this one

Fun start, a bit easier after that than expected

pumped out trying to place gear in the crux, sat before it, then sat on it just to be sure it was good before continuing. need to either know the moves, know the gear, or climb with a bit of commitment, and I am 0/3 of these things.

nice, start is fun. though very tame with big cams.

ballsed up the long move into the roof and went for an assisted haul rather than lower to the slab and try again. After that it's not too bad

roofy bit is great. got a bit terrified on a face section that isn't mentioned in the guidebook - possibly people used to stay in the chimney but the tree has grown. there is gear just before the move but I had skipped it in a moment of overconfidence. And for tall people there's not really a move at all.

our first route, a bit easy

extremely difficult move for the short!

Easy, was not in agony, haha.

Got spit off this years ago..easy handjamming now, wtf!

Took photos of Lukáš's attempt, he cleaned it, and I had a fun romp to the top

Chickened out a few days ago, wasted too much energy trying to get the gear how I wanted it. So didn't even attempt the crux. Today went up, put in the gear, downclimbed, rested, and went through the crux first go.

Flash after Kuba ať sundown, just pulled the rope and left the gear in the roof for the sake of getting home for dinner.

Tough if you make it that way..Ian cruised it! fell off it in the morning, gave it two other goes in the evening..

Would not want to lead this props to Luke!
