Ascensioni in Tetragrammaton Buttress come vari tipologie

A burly, slightly overhanging climb that makes it rather hard to onsight if you don't route read very quickly. Or just be stronger.

Excellent climbing. Awkward, slightly flary jams add to the fun. Sketchy, unprotected traverse adds more fun.

Another lead in bad conditions, wondering if I'll ever see the bottom free of spooge. Climbed clean to the crux and couldn't hold the slopers in full sun. Another time perhaps!

Went down to NMMNG but found the belay spot to be underwater... Decided to try going up the first pitch of Tetragrammaton but had some sort of crack death instead.

Good Job Rachel on the Lead. Chucked in the deep end and tried my best. Failed hard on the first pitch but gave the second a better go. Motivated me to keep learning crack climbing skills before attempting something this hard again.

Smooth as hell up the first 20m (to the first anchor) then got demolished about a millimetre from the top in a surprise savage fist jamming sequence which I never made it to last time I was here. Overhanging fist jams and ringlocks on a 20? Yeah sick.

....happy to support

Just the second pitch, exiting from NMMNG. Engaging would definitely be an accurate descriptor. I don't know what conditions the route is usually under, but it was definitely an exhausting process putting in a jam, realising that the crack is lined with dirt, removing the jam, brushing down as much of the crack as possible with my arm, wiping my hand down on my shirt and pants, then placing the jam back into the slightly damp crack, ready to repeat with the other hand.

Thanks to Henry for donating me the only 3 grains of chalk he had left when I realised I'd foolishly forgotten to refill my chalk bag. I can't say it did much to help with the actual climbing but it did warm my heart.

First pitch clean, second pitch found the lower bit fine but spat off a metre from the top when it’s way too wide for my fists

What a position! I was scared and tired while trying this and felt almost completely incapable of any moves. So much faff to try and TRS this route.

This climb is spectacular! So steep and the belay stance is epic. Traverse moves around the arete on slopers is one of the best sequences of climbing I've done. Really keen to try this when the low crux isn't a waterfall. Might have a chance at pulling the moves then.

Either I'm climbing like crap, or this is harder than expected. That or I'm climbing in the sun ...

What a crazy day. It rained in the morning but we were so psyched that it didn't stop us. Javed's slippery lead proved that it didn't dry up. Took one big whip, collected his thoughts and wiped the spooge off his shoes and kept going up. The unprotected traverse had him sobbing and laughing simultaneously. On second, it began raining just as I began the unprotected traverse, looking forward at the seven metres of sopping wet traversing was a low point in psych and a high in concentration. All in all, great climb but do it when it's dry.

Two big whippas, so, so wet! Condi's are a massive crux for this route.

Linked in two sections, got all the moves dialled. Need to sort the pre-rack and tie in for the lead!

Diabolically technical! Sacrificed some skin finding dyno beta. The final move mantling the hanging off-width is mental! Feels low percentage and condition dependant. Going to go for the link next session.

Body needed more rest, hands needed more skin. Will come back.

Jamming muscles were dead, hangdogged up on second Only did the first pitch. What a quality line.

P2. Hard fist jam move.

Spooged out of lower jam. Tricky to start.

An absolute masterpiece. Managed all the moves, but feels really hard at the moment. Exciting

21 huh, sure did feel beat up by the wide bit on the second pitch. First pitch was nice, second is a bit dirty & sandy in places.

Came to do this but the waves were breaking on the belay

Really good

Really hard

Haven't been this chewed up and spat out by a crack in a loooooong time.

Followed first pitch, led second. Worth three stars but it is hard! So so moist with sea mist

Tried to finish up the top pitch as a direct finish to NMMNG. Found it much harder than it looks. Dave ended up sending a line down for me to prussic up after I fell off and ended up swinging in space.

Best to rap in. 40m+. Set your rope line up with the Tree at the edge right of the crack and that will drop you in on the start. start close to waves was too slippery and wet so we bailed out looked like a great line will be back some day!

Failed to stay focused.

found it very to hand jam a crack bigger than my hands
