攀登 in Rock Of Ages & Surrounds

Probably the best I've done at the grade.

1 hang again! On what felt like the last hard move.

Hard and enjoyable start, but it's only a few moves. Still worthwhile.

Accidentally went off-route on the onsight, heading up and left instead of traversing. Could be link-up with route to left?? Two goes to get the traverse, but it was still cool.

Good solid start brought down by big ledges just above, but otherwise fun.

Good fun. A harder and better(?) version of jugs r us?

The climbing is very good, but this route needs a better clean. Hard to recommend until it gets a good bash with a hammer. Lowering off I pulled off a huge death block, but plenty of hollow stuff remains.

Really fun series of powerful boulders.

Putting on draws. Fantastic.

Second attempt. The climb builds with a crescendo at the top!

I found this great but very hard. Several key holds are far out of the line, so hard to OS without chalk on them.

Great flow. Steep and pumpy between good holds. Clean to the last bolt on my first proper attempt, but gave up mindlessly pumped.

Fantastic moves and quite a few of them. Would be 3* but lacks flow. First go today, 4th go overall.

I thought this was wonderful! Hard moves to jugs, what more can you ask for 😀

Technical crux, good face climbing!

Read the beta wrong on this, was attempting it with much harder start beta. Ended up on the linkup bolts (RH) instead of the actual climb (LH) as well..

Ok. Long way to first bolt, and threads are a bit shallow.

Classic line! Worth the stars

First go today

No idea what to do after the second bolt

Sensational route! Dropped the second burn after the last bolt, absolute Muppet. Such a good sequence through the roof.

Two attempts. Fell at last draw on second attempt very close very fun

Fun little route. Hard start.

A nice longer outing. Felt almost like a limestone route. Hard boulder start--did the double gaston, but there's definitely a more elegant way.

Awesome route. As steep and thoughtful as you can get at the grade. Almost OS the other day, hit the wrong bit of the final crux hold and stupidly gave up. Took another 3 goes before I managed to climb it any better.

some of the jugs felt a little loose
