★★ Carbon Dogs
![]() This was a pretty weak couple of goes on the first sequence. The route looks very good, but I might pencil this one in as an aspiration. | 15m, 5 | ★ Good | ||

★★ All the Young Fascists
![]() I see some potential nice sequences here. This climb would probably be a bunch easier if Kym Campbell would stop breaking off the holds. | 15m, 6 | ★★ Very Good | ||
25 |
★★ Hammer and Tongs
![]() Gah, not all all the glorious pinkpoint that I saw in my head. Took a big fall past at the middle ledge and decided to swear off lead climbing for life. | 25m, 8 | ★★ Very Good | ||

★★ All the Young Fascists
![]() Flailing around on a brand-new climb is always hilarious. Couldn't make it past the crux. This one feels sequency as heck, and very hard on the fingertips. | 15m, 6 | ★★ Very Good | ||
25 |
★★ Hammer and Tongs
![]() Got this dialed. Very close to a clean ascent today, just some carelessness on the undercling move. I should probably stop putting off the lead and get this done. | 25m, 8 | ★★ Very Good | ||

★★ Hammer and Tongs

★★ Stolen Glory
![]() The crux requires finesse to get through, not to mention a couple of serious crimps. After that, it changes up into a slab requiring balance and nerve. Recommended! | 15m, 5 | ★★ Very Good | ||

★★ Stolen Glory
![]() Pretty hard for the grade, with a strenuous crimpy crux move to get through in the middle. A cryptic sequence, but at least we worked it out this time. | 15m, 5 | ★★ Very Good | ||

★★ The Oubliette
![]() A tough one - once you get through the balancy start, the rest is hard climbing to the last clip. Nowhere to rest, and more than one difficult move to pull off. Like bouldering, but 15m tall! | 15m, 6 | ★★ Very Good | ||

★ No Ordinary Determination
![]() I found this fairly cryptic to work out, with at least two ways to tackle the final move. One for the 2015 clean-ascent list! | 15m, 5 | ★★ Very Good | ||

★★ Chain Reaction
![]() Tried this on lead, took a look at the crux: NOPE. Cheated my way to the top after we set up a top rope. Challenging, dynamic and technical. Good technique, powerful grip and nerves of steel will get you through the crux. One day. | 20m, 4 | ★★ Very Good | ||

21 |
★ Left Lateral Portside Smidgen Winkler
![]() No idea how to make that 2nd clip cleanly there's nothing to grip or stand on. Wimped out after the fourth clip anyway. This climb is haaaard. | 25m | Average | ||
