Ascents in Sutherland by ChrisO

Had a really good time here for Hugo’s 40th, need to come back and give it the proper tick

Some serious stalking to get up this roof. Well done gents no-one left behind!

Warmup climb - I missed the jam-to-long move. Next time!

Hard start, excellent route

An absolute classic and a great way to bash up the hands

Good way to finish off and leave

Sandy!

Short and pumpy

Short and pumpy

The first move on this is tough! A rooflet to mantle with no space to go to. Needed to pull up on the draw to get up. Any beta? Can't figure it out!

What a cracker! I'll need to give it a go on lead next time. Pockets are solid enough to work but not super reassuring

A bit sandy but a good climb

Gymnastic start to airy arete finish, highly recommend!

Hard start with easy finish

Warm up those feels on a strong top out!

Easy moves up the corner crack, then following the shelf

Thinner with more technical moves

Short with a couple of fun moves. Now bolted. Nice spot with all the ferns around

We put a couple of cams just below the roof and climbed as a mixed route. Fun one

working through that tough roof mantle move - I'll get it one day!

Watch out for one of the flakes on this falling apart - theres a dodgy flake above a platform

Great moves at the start

As you continue toward the right the rck quality drops off. Some good moves although some blocks are coming apart -

a great arete problem, would like to get on again when it's dry!

Nice slab climb with some thin bits

First part was intense! Maybe the weather made the rock slimy, but felt tough!

Always a great climb

Fun warmup!

Great warmup!

Jenna's first trad line, it's a cracker!

A climb that makes you question your decisions in life. Great upon finish!

Great climbing! Looking forward to getting back here to try this again, some bold moves!

I found this one easier than Spiro's! great climbing, blocky and fun. The colour and quality of the rock is great here

Great climbing, funny i found this easier than Veg Eat Meat,

Great short trad route! It's bolted too but nice to bung in some nuts

Good warmup, props to Aaron for his first outdoor route on this one

Also a good warmup

Fun climb! Tough if you take the line closer to the corner

Feels thin and pumpy when you're cold but actually the perfect warm-up

Great route, pumpy scary with good gear. Would like to do it clean sometime. Once I stop bleeding that is!

Fantastic mixed route! Will do this every time at cathedral

Feels thin and pumpy when you're cold but actually the perfect warm-up

Great warmup chimney with fun 3d movement

Wow what a heart starter! I emerged dirty bruised and scratched at the top. Would do this again in a heartbeat. First proper offwidth lead i reckon

A great gymnastic climb. Thanks for holding off on the beta Shauno.

What a cracker! I'll be back for this again. Punchy start, great rock and features as well as super convenient lower off hardware presumably made in ML's garage

A short but punchy climb
