Ascents in Lover's Leap

Fun route to solo

Fun route

Fun, varied.

Lovely gentle climb

Got mixed up and started on Black Pyre then moved over. Tricky getting over the bulge, then moderate but harder to protect, lots of drag. Very fun route, felt spicey.

One of the most fun routes so far, loved it, loved the squeezy finish variation. Goes in two pitches with a 70m rope.

Great fun, the hollowness of some of the flakes is made up for by how fun the movement is.

fun climbing. sporty, runout, heady.

very hard for grade. incredible line, great climbing, bold. feel like an oldschool hardman on it. accidentally did the 5.8/+ variation by climbing the wide crack on 3rd pitch. for standard route, traverse right to the corner after the chimney, look for a piton

accidentally linked into one long pitch with an 80. too much rope drag, build belay in biggest pod before the small roof

80m reaches summit from tree belay

Awesome moves, took a while to get it worked out, amazing climb

Mega fun, amazing movement. Felt hard down low

Very fun and varied movement, excellent route

I’m sure it would have been amazing if leading was not so terrifying for me - I made it up a little way with some pre-placed gear but as soon as that ran out, it was panic o’clock 😅

First lead since Tonsai 9ish months ago and first trad lead since Tassie in 2016, so - despite the easy grade, was stoked with myself 🤩 I even ran it out quite a bit, which is unheard of for me 😅

Did the 5.8 variation finish by accident, says hard to protect but managed OK... Did look nicer than the actual 5.7 corner though not sure Hamish agreed! Apparently the exposure was gnarled but I was too focussed to notice anything 😁

Really nice. Preparation H is the better start.

Super nice, first pitch is quite long and sustained. With an 80m rope you can use the anchor from the sport route on the right to rappel down.

Super nice and steep. Must do

Nice and easy route. Good option to get to Main Wall

Really good fun

Not the most elegant of moves through the roof but surely not the worst! Fun climb!

Not sure if I did part of the 5.9 amongst all of that... slabby mcslab slab
