Ascents of Strawberry Alarm-clock

Easy and fun

Hard climbing

Slightly cooler in the chimney, then it got stuffy

A fun adventure. All the pro is deep in the crack where its not really wide enough for a true chimney so I climbed it as an offwidth. Getting around the chockstone was thrilling. I brought a number 6 as per the description but found no where to place it. I cleaned the route so had to cliff further up the end to find a good tree to rap Off(80M). I Still managed to pull the rope down with ease.

Another one that I've somehow never lead before! Great chimney action albeit on stacked blocks. Wouldn't want to fall on most the potential gear on this. Pulling around the chockstone was sick though and great chimneying all round.

Did not inspire joy

Not my cup of tea

Hardest 10 I’ve done in my life. 😅

First ever Trad lead! half my pieces fell out and the other half were dubious at best but I still had a blast.

Avoided chimneying most of it

"3-star piece of shit" - jarred vardy 2021. Had such a fun time climbing this. Felt like the top pitch of a multi (why i dont know).

Hang dogged because rope was stuck. Had to lower and fix it. There was a couple of chockstone I slinged around for protection. Like others said it felt harder than 10.

Safe enough with a couple of bigger pieces. Fun bit of wide with some stiff moves for a 10.

Protectable with big gear, and some tough moves for the grade.

Pretty nice climb, abit awkward trying to remove pieces though, ahaha

pretty good climb

This is the second time I have led this and I can say I am pretty sure that if this was anywhere else it would be a 14 to 16. Best bit is the second chock stone.

Genuinely thought I’d never see daylight again

Funny that it is grade 12 in the guide book but 10 on The Crag, felt like at least grade 12 to me. The warning in the book is a bit misleading as well, we found enough gear placements. Granted they are a little spaced out and hard to find above the chock stone. This is a interesting climb worth a go if you are in the area. The higher you go the bigger the trees to belay from. Easy to walk off.

Their first time outdoors. Harry loved the chimney, Nicole swore at it.

Good small wires through out.

Horrible, but all chimneys are the same. They should only be used for expelling smoke, not climbing.

Chimney/Thrutch day #1 ! I didn't think that the gear was too bad on this. Fun chimney.

Interesting pro, but not as bas as comments on 'the crag'

Dirty and insecure. Split into two pitches. Rope drag through the first big block can be intense if not managed well. Loose at the top with a 3m section with no gear.

Lara 2nd, felt harder than a 10!!!
