Ascents as Flash by David Gibbs

If you can figure out the beta for the start, 5.9 is fair -- but it is a WEIRD start. If you don't figure out the beta, then it will feel MUCH harder. Also, might be height-dependent. We need to get a short climber to give it a try.

Thin at the top, and the anchor stance isn't, but a bunch of good climbing.

Clean on TR, but would be harder on lead -- some very thin climbing. And you might lose a critical hold or two to the gear.

On TR felt about 5.10b

After we found this and Su A. Alteen lead it, I decided it wasn't worth the bother of cleaning the draws on the lower for this diagonal route, so decided to follow. I didn't bother taking off my belay gloves, just climbed in them. It was, still, super easy. It was graded 5.5, I've down-graded it to 5.2, but not entirely sure it is even 5.2.

And, not really worth climbing, either.

Thought it was 5.8 when climbing it. Seems no harder than "Walking on Sunshine".

First half is fun, second half is work.

Short (for Main Wall) but quite good.

When you've cleaned & bolted a route, you don't get to on-sight it.

Perhaps a tad close-bolted, but good some good climbing.

Lead P1, followed Pitch 2.

Being a trad climber, I avoided most of the lay-back bits by doing a couple of hand-jams; and only switching to a layback for the last move or so up the crack.

A lovely lovely climb - but very long for a single-pitch climb.

Dropped a TR on this thinking it was Smeghead. I guess it kind of was. Fun climbing on the traverse into the corner, then up the corner.

Climbed the alternate finish first, so climbed starting the initial section under the bolt to the left -- might be start of La Corneille instead. A touch harder than the regular start, I think.

Easy lower down, a couple harder moves on the upper head wall. Not particularly exciting.

Watched Mike lead it, so can't really claim it as an on-sight.

Easy-going until the bulge at the top. Sharp, though -- fall is scary just because of the abrasiveness, bolting is fine.

Led this using the bolts for "The Morning After", making the clipping quite awkward in places, and since I finished on the upper section of the sport route, the finish was harder than the 5.3 of the main route -- probably notched it up to closer to 5.5 or 5.6.

A fun little lead with a couple balancy bits, and some trust-your-feet slab work on easy angled climbing.
