Ascents as Greenpoint as sport by John Pitcairn

Goes on gear, with a couple of runouts. Probably could have hunted around and found more.

On gear because why not? You could put a lot of pro in this. Would be a decent first trad lead, with bolts available for sanity.

Placing gear for Greer to second and have a look. Lots of options.

And as promised, it goes on gear. Decent pro for the boulder crux, a bit trickier low down.

Perfectly good gear close to every bolt. Took the left-hand crux (17).

New Year's Day and hardly anyone here? Unbelievable. A much more absorbing route on gear.

Gear within half a metre of every bolt.

I've climbed this before on bolts, goes well enough on gear which starts small but becomes more heartening the higher you go.

There is a ton of gear from first bolt onward. Mostly nuts but totems in pockets pretty useful.

Fun trad warmup.

Arapiles refresh, stitch 'er up, nuts, totems, hex.

Take a big hex next time.

Soft rock, stitch it up. Top wants a really big hex, #11-12. Must get one.

Couldn't find my rock shoes, climbed in chunky approach shoes, certainly upped the pucker factor on the moss. Gear a bit sparse at top. I never need to do this again.

There's perfectly decent gear all the way with a miniscule runout to the anchor. Crux getting out of the crack and over the lip. Solid 16 or soft 17?

There's gear. It's not great gear but it'll do. A #3 cam would probably go in the drill hole but I didn't take it up, duh.

It totally goes on gear, and the stances are solid. RPs useful for the top crack. PS: it's more like 17.

Plenty of gear in the thin crack, avoid cams in the wide crack at left. Nice.

2 hexes, 2 small nuts.

Wind down part 1: all five tricams and a red totem basic. Much more fun on gear. Then dropped the rope and had to scramble off the back in shame.

Wind down part 2: two pink tricams, red and yellow totem basics, thread, bomber #1 C4.

Cleaning the TR anchor. Cams in pockets.

Went up in the evening to see if there would be a link pitch on gear into The Sufferer And The Witness, allowing a full gear route to the very top of the bluff. There would be, but it would be short chossy and pretty average, probably need a hand rope, and cleaning it would rain crap on everything below. Effort best spent elsewhere. Linked P1-2, forgot Gareth's rope is now 56m and had to get down in 2 abseils.
