Ascents in Left Flank having Beta

Lead it with some falls around 3rd bolt. Then clean from 4 th bolt and too scared to fall. Repeated clean on TR as didn’t fancy the fall around arete again. A bit like a Wards hill first wall route on crimpy ironstone- so not worth travelling the world for.

Nice enough for grade, reasonably graded and bolted

Not worth the skin I spent on it at the reachy start

Ok, but feet at start polished worse than limestone crags, plus too much chalk. Crux hard for shorter people.

Second Try. Slipped off the first foothold, if I had wiped my shoe off maybe I wouldn't have. Soooooo hard. I death crimped my way up this thing and it was still desperate. Maybe the hardest 11a I've ever done and it wasn't just the start, everything was hard. Fun day with Helios trying Mercy, managed to punt three times off the top of it.

The best of climbing days! So much fun to check out climbs that always seemed to so big and scary (Table of Colors and Too Many Puppies) and I couldn't imagine a better person to overcome that intimidation with! Fun warmup with a hard start and jug climbing above that.

Still brutally hard. Had to clip up to get through 2 sections!! Daaamn!

this was a one move wonder right under the 3rd clip. start to the right of the ever seeping base. climb crimpy assholes that fade around the 3rd bolt where you begin getting pumped but have jugs to shake out every few holds if you need to do so. This is a decent warm up but thats about it.

Kind of hopped on this on a whim. was going to belay a friend up To many puppies, a project of his, but right as we were cleaning our warmup some pushup bros walked up to it and started doing half assed pushups to warmup and claim this. Ended up being the best part of this crag. he threw in the towel and told me to pick a route so i chose Mercy the Huff. Walking down to the far end of the crag and finally finding it, I realized it shares the start to this route and decided, why not. The start was phenomenal with side pulls and pockets that forced you to climb compressed which adds to the intensity and building up pump. Right above the 5th climb it turns up a notch and the cruxs knocks you off the wall like a brick to the balls. least me anyway. I fell. Multiple times. its a series of credit cards crimps that uncharacteristic of this route up until this point. I wasn't able to get past this but I would love to try again as it seems pretty attainable. Over all, beautiful secluded wall, gorgeous line and flow. Would absolutely recommend trying out.

Awesome tricky bouldering. Quite ‘ard.

Hard and really quite scary. I was kind of gripped. Worthwhile though.

Hardest 12b in the Red!

Can be sport climbed if you're willing to run out the 5.7 hand crack. Otherwise, bring a single no.1

Worked the route a little on the way up. Took a rest. Took 4 falls at the first bolt. Lowered back to the ground and sent it.

Very bouldery start.. Not the best warm up!

Second shot!

Start was gooey wet, but the top section made it worthwhile. If you like chalk on orange stone, this is quite the canvas.

In 83% humidity, the onsight of this techy thing was no doubt the best climbing performance of my trip thus far. I was maxxed.

Caressed the blind mailbox slot on the OS.

Steep and burly, and short enough to ensure I didn't overheat. I like.

The low moves on this were some of the hardest I've done on the trip.

had to wipe off feet at start

3rd go due to early alzheimer's symptoms (not too hard, at least if you have the reach)

Perfect flow. Felt easy at last!

Hanging the draws and remembering moves.

Couldn't make it through the crux! struggling with the big lockoff off the bassmouth crimp.

Not sure how this goes at 12a. Also, bolting down low is not so great.

This is a really stupid route. The first move is much harder than 10a, then it's maybe 5.8. The higher you get the easier it is and the closer the bolts get.

few takes

one take at bottom to figure out crux. one at anchors there are jugs to the left.

2 hangs, messed up the move at the 4th draw, forgot the left foot. Don't know if this one if feasible for me on this trip.

Worked the moves from bolt to bolt.

2nd go this trip, fell off last move on the last day of our trip in 2011. Super classic route!

Amazing climb for the grade

Bouldering on a rope! Such fun moves but being route fit doesn't help so much.

Such a beautiful line and it climbs the same. Proud OS.

Super good route, figured out some good foot work, should go next attempt.

So damn good. A little spooky trusting those feet.

Failed boulder prob. Could probably get it if I was fresh.

Attempted in the rain - too wet! Will go when dry....

really tough crux at the second bolt for the grade, something break ? upgrade needed ? good route anyway #2go #hard

damn you, hidden hold ! #2go
