14 Refusal Trad 25m
Simon Leo
Worth using some rope pro at top for belaying from above (or extend anchor a long way back towards top of route) and also for small wedge in middle of route (right side of first boulder).

More satisfying jamming for smaller hands and feet than the Obituary, and straightforward cam placements.

Easy TR solo access and would be easy enough to build a ground anchor for lead solo

Absolutely classic climbing for the grade! 3D corner-fridge-chimney system that should get more stars.

First trad lead in a while, felt a lot harder than 14 but probably due to lack of mental strength

Climbs similar to Obituary except has worrying giant detached blocks up the top. Kicked out my last nut for extra excitement while in the final chimney but it was very secure from there.

There’s a free #3 HB can near the bottom if you can get it unstuck. I tried and tried but it only got worse.

Loose over the top and the rings appear to be in a death block so belay off the massive tree further back. Pretty sustained down low felt like 19-19
