Ascents in Cereal Buttress

Led both pitches.

Did both pitches, led the second pitch. Got both pitches clean.

We climbed two pitches of Fruit loops and then lowered to the anchors for Frosted Flake to set up a Top Rope.

Though I've led this route prior I really wanted to practice my jamming. So i set out to do laps on it. First go was a flash.

Second lap was less than stellar. Slipped on wet patch while smearing up to a crimp.

Came back again for a third go and got it clean again. My jamming is getting better.

The layback is a solid workout. Nearly made it past the vertical when my foot slipped.

Crushed it this go around.

Tried jamming it as opposed to the layback, so much easier!

Linked pitch 1 and 2 on a 70m rope.

Starting roof moves still sketchy, got an awesome chockstone loose nut under the roof though. The top is fun, especially the move out onto the face to the horizontal crimp.

My first 11a on trad clean!!! Took a while to suss out the beta, slid down the wall a few times but managed to catch my left foot on the footer.

Crux is def. at the bottom.

Finger jam/under cling roof section is tricky. Def. want to be a solid 5.8 leader before attempting this one. The fall would be quite nasty.

committing. climbed the whole crux with great hand jams for big hands

Did first pitch only

Fantastic crack.

Great laybacking - nearly had a foot slip! One day would like to try jamming this.

Nice pitch with some thin feet and awesome fingers.

I did the direct'ish start headed straight up towards the Whiskey crack - it was scary! Would not want to fall, but rewarding when you don't! Crack at top is awesome, but wish it was a bit more sustained. Also did the second pitch which is weird but worth it.

Hardest trad to date, found the crux very difficult with my fat fingers.

Had a great time on this one, nice sustained layback that seems to keep on going!

Nice climb, suitable for beginner leader.
