19 | ★★ Fronds of the Earth - with Cadeyn Mclellan | 16m, 5 | ||||
Always good enough holds, crimps then jugs, but I need to come back with more muscle and less fat.
|
||||||
18 | ★ Under the Milky Way - with Cadeyn Mclellan | 15m | ||||
Pumped out by the time I got a sequence (needed it) for the start - even exploiting every advantage of the boulders (but skipping them ups the grade to something still very doable). Afterwards no great rests but good holds.
|
||||||
17 | ★ Musical Distractions Direct - with Cadeyn Mclellan | 9m, 4 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Pumpy start, but enough jugs to help you get up to somewhere you can stand. Fun.
Add another slightly committing move at end if you want to go level, not just clip anchors from below. |
||||||
16 | ★ Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy - with Cadeyn Mclellan | 20m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Fun move, a bit exposed, stepping on tiny lip to cross between two walls, then juggy enough to turn back onto the original face, friendly slabbing to final bolts.
|
||||||
12 ~13 | Greenstick - with Cadeyn Mclellan | 10m, 4 | ||||
I reckon this may have been a 12 on the indicated line a few years ago, but suspect a big footer has come off on the way to the first bolt - there's clearly a spot where something large has come off, and the area, particularly low, we found was liable to just have rock flaking off if you pulled on it.
I'm still claiming it using a metre or two start to the left of the bolt, then moving back right to follow the bolts - from tnen on friendly. 12 then just a little sandbagged - otherwise ludicrous sandbag. |
||||||

Panther Access Canyon | ||||||
17 ~18 | Jugging with Jasper - with Cadeyn Mclellan | 18m | ||||
Nice varied climbing (spoilers). I went crimpy left at the 2nd bolt to avoid a water feature, but more juggy pumpy right also doable alternative. Nice laybacking in middle as long as you've some strength. Feels a little desperate traversing towards the finish but reach diagnally left to saviour hold. Finish fine if just tapping bolts on a top-rope - way more demanding if hanging on overhang leading clipping them.

||||||
17 ~18 | ★ Frank & Beans! - with Cadeyn Mclellan | 16m | ||||
Next time - I worked out the crux move 2nd attempt.

17 | ★ Imaginary Friends - with Cadeyn Mclellan | 18m, 9 | ||||
Making it very clear I've got no crack technique - and then things just got harder on the blank wall in the 2nd half.

Thin crimpy tiny foot start, then gradually easier (apart from the rampant foliage - needs more traffic) as you ascend.

Thompson's Point Alley Wall | ||||||
21 | ★★ Up the Alley - with Cadeyn Mclellan | 20m | ||||
Only half rests, and lots of reaching on my only OK holds, but it generally rewards commitment. Sent it 2nd try (yay!), while the 19 on this wall shrugged me off time and again.

19 | ★★ Tour Of Duty - with Cadeyn Mclellan | 14m, 5 | ||||
Find this very sequency - real puzzle solving for me. Just a slight variation in the order of doing things or which bit of which hold, and it shrugs you off. Some cool moves, just don't try even a slight alternative.

17 | ★ Reborn - with Cadeyn Mclellan | 20m | ||||
I think this is what we did - just so many bolts in a small area, and the topo is just spaghetti of 10 lines crossing each other to get to shared anchors

19 | ★★★ Worm On A Razor - with Cadeyn Mclellan | 30m | ||||
After swearing I'd never do this route again (it did my groin the first time), watching Cadeyn do it without dangling his left leg into the abyss once, inching up on his right (the cause of my groinal destruction), I thought I'd try doing it sticking to the right instead of worming along the razor. And, hallelujah, I'm walking the next day! Just went to the 2nd last bolt and cleaned from it knowing how awful the rope drag is if you go to extra couple of metres through the chimney to the horribly placed anchors).

Thompson's Point Thompson's Sunrise Orange Streak Wall | ||||||
16 | ★ Gherkin The Merkin - with Cadeyn Mclellan | 10m, 6 | Average | |||
Rough start for the grade, and lots of ways to go wrong. Beta: MAYBE a 16 if you already know to stick to the arete's reach around holds until you can stem. Once there it's a doddle - you can happily get both feet to the other side and almost walk up a meter or two, then easy slab climbing back on the face. You don't even go near the 'secret' pocket hold. But the start still Pumpy.
Entirely different climb if you don't stem, but no way it's a 16 if you don't. |

Farting about with an 80m rope we couldn't initially get down inspired me to write the above description (hopefully better than none). Would have been much better off with a shorter rope forcing us to use the mid-point belay anchors.

18 | ★ Six Day War - with Cadeyn Mclellan | 15m, 5 | ||||
Pretty much did the moves - very much crux at the start, need to get my sequence right: use little toe holds to get RH up, another toe to get LH high, then BUMP to better LH before moving foot again, step up, then good holds from there (gets slabby too).

Perhaps a little sandbaggged with the dramatic start.

20 | ★ McStagger Direct Start - with Cadeyn Mclellan | 15m | ||||
Ah, is stemming OK off the pillar behind? If so, I got through all the moves, just took a break working them out (keeping right basically, even using a couple of 'Pie Man' holds but with RH not left and different feet).
So with stemming I don't think it adds 6 grades to McStagger, maybe 4 or 5. Without stemming, I don't know how I'd get up there at the moment. |
