Ascents by Murray having Distinct route

Lead a bit stiff over overhung headwall.

Confirmed rad! Much better rock then everything else around. Ending is weird, the kind of route I wouldn't mind doing again and having some more fun with.

Reachy and jumpy, a lot of fun.

So cold, struggling with numb fingers

Confusion at crux bolt, pike right then back left?

Great route!

Yep pretty classic, amazing rock

Good climbing but very runout, not for those a bit nervous leading

Quite good, bouldery, but way too many chalked holds, don't need half of them.

You only get to onsight it once!

A bit harder then Silver Hands.

I ended up using the crack, it just felt too contrived otherwise. Anchors are above the crack, setting this as a toprope makes for a great beginners climb on the adjacent 'trad' route!

Tricky blind bulgy crux.

Nice interesting slabby moves.

Nice slabbing on quality rock, shame about the approach.

Nice slabbing on quality rock, shame about the approach (gully).

Technical feet. A little sharp on the hands at the end of session.

Very punchy, burly start (maybe a bit too burly for the grade?) and fun fun climbing.

Still pumped out so this was a bit desperate at end of day. Beginning a bit stiff and run out?!

Crux maybe the start? Then cruising through awesome mega jugs

That anchor! What a contrived pain at the end. Got into trouble getting stuck under the roof figuring out how I was unwind myself to reach the anchor, annoying feet to reach this contrived end.

Nice, quite varied climbing, anchor is hmm a bit contrived to the left.

Rock a little better on the front then the side. Anchor ring bolts too small to get rope though with my anchor carabiner daaaamnit. Need a really small carabiner and thin rope.

Conditions not good, damp particularly near the top at the sloper. Otherwise a good climb.

Exploration!

No harder then the other ones really.

Big airy climbing, bit stiff for an 18 warmup though.

Direct start. Very nice arete flakes.

Pulling the crux is way too hard for 18.

Ending a bit hmm

Some cool rock and holds, but also some suss sandy rock under the roof that needs some more cleaning. Will return.

Very poor mantling technique.

HARD mantle. Not for beginners / anyone just climbing 17.

Not really my thing, but had a go for it. Stopped at the roof due to conditions.

Very enjoyable, a variety of powerful movies on interesting holes.

Good though some route confusion. Start felt like one of the hardest moves?

Cruxy top quite cruxy, not what you want when trying to clip an anchor.

Oh yes, this is what I came for, big moves on big holds, the powerful climb on this wall. Very nice.

Strenuous fingery start. Hasn't been climbed in a while. Not good warmup.

Better head to Stonehaven.

Very similar to a above.

A bit harder and trickier then the others.

That slab crux (crimping) is hard. Not for beginners doing 16s.

Looks terrible, but actually climbs quite well, possibly due to the huge amount of chipping! Good moves and good holds.

Some unusual and interesting climbing on this one.

Much harder then it looks if you don't know the beta.

Desperate! Sandbag!
