Tue 21st Jun 2022 - Central Highlands
Creag Dubh Sprawl Wall
E2 5c E2 5c Jump So High Direct Trad 35m
Mike's first trad second, great funky, pumpy movement. An easy one to punt off in the sun. Sev soloed it to try find his shirt on the top, which turned up in my bag. 😂

 
Thu 16th Jun 2022 - The Cairngorms
Lochnagar Creag an Dubh Loch
24 E5 6b The Ascent Of Man - with sev Trad 130m
Alternate leads onsight, sev took the harder pitch which ended up being soft for 6b and well protected. I led the 6a pitch which turned out to be quite runout and dangerous. Classic alpine granite, funky movement with spectacular exposure in wild positions! The crux was reading movement with the gardens of moss and lichen on the holds. A stellar day in the mountains!

 
Wed 15th Jun 2022 - The Cairngorms
Pass of Ballater Western Section
24 E3 6b Rattlesnake Trad 20m
Top is great, bottom is average. Came in from a jug on the left, felt easy at the grade.

Sat 16th Apr 2022 - Frog Buttress
West of the access track
19 Infinity Trad 40m
dope line, pretty cooked eod. Had everything in doubles except for #2's, got to the splitter and had to make some very dicey gear choices bumping a #1 and #3. won't tell mum about that one.

 
Fri 15th Apr 2022 - Frog Buttress
West of the access track
14 Faki Trad 13m
Pretty much solo to get to the ledge.

 
23 The Guns of Navaronne Trad 30m
Yiew! Such a rad route, the gear in those 'magic blocks' was quite dubious. Avoided putting gear behind the shit looking flakes on the way up to the roof, ended up with some big run outs.

 
23 Quite Contrary Trad 40m
Deathy as, shit gear and fragile rock, rad movement though!

 
18 Gladiator Trad 20m
Didn't expect to get this, without much jamming experience, stoked!

23 Birdman of Alcatraz Trad 30m
Not as bad as I thought, good gear and rests. #4 is handy at the crux. Moving quick on the average holds and resting at the jugs worked well.

Sun 31st Jan 2021 - Cape Raoul
17 17 R Bumhole Dancer Trad 60m Crap
FA, for the full value climb when wet. Probably the shittest chimney I've ever climbed. linked as single pitch, some run outs on the second pitch.

Mon 25th Jan 2021 - Mount Ossa
Gates of Mordor
24 24 R Minas Morgul Trad 45m Classic
Highly technical and insecure grade 23 movement, made easier with a rest after the mantle. Route was graded 24 for the exposure and seriousness of a potential fall. The arete was climbed onsight with a piece of 8mm chord thrown around the bottom of pillar from FOTR.

 
Wed 20th Jan 2021 - Mount Brown Main Face
24 Talk is Cheap - with Kit Wilson Mixed trad 220m, 99 Mega Classic
Yieww!! Had a mega day, insanely stoked to finally get on this. Definitely not as hard as I thought it would be, pretty sustained through the middle pitches. Linked a few pitches for full value!

First 3 ish pitches? We linked a few so was hard to tell. Enjoyable climbing with spicey protection.

 
17 Tierry le Fronde Direct Variant Trad 25m
Did a huge run out going direct up the arete, rock was dirty but the movement was great with lots of exposure!

 
Wed 9th Dec 2020 - Mount Wellington
The Organ Pipes Bulging Buttress
18 Black Magic Trad 55m
Also insanely good. A gift that keeps giving. I can't crack climb so it felt a lot more technical than it should have.

Coast South of Aberdeen Earnsheugh
E2 5c E2 5c Bats Belfry Trad 35m Mega Classic
Linked all three pitches with a big run out through the roof to the top. First time climbing with new half ropes, they go alright. Fucking excellent climbing 11/10, pulled my mate up on second for his first trad climb. Probably soft at 5c.

Mega Route, one move wonder through the roof. Well protected but exposed climbing. Linked all 3 pitches with some very extended runners.

Coast South of Aberdeen Craig Stirling East Buttress
E1 5a HVS 5a Grand Diedre Trad 20m Mega Classic
Super slippery spooge to start, felt very sketchy. Took lead from a mate who bailed before the first roof. Route needs a good clean, feels like E1 in its current condition.

Cheeky run out climbing to the balcony has potential for a leg breaking whip onto a ledge. Nice climbing otherwise.

E2 5c E2 5c Running Hot Trad Very Good
Awesome initial crux which leads to overhang then easy climbing. She steepens and runs out on rattly gear at the top. Climbing gets airy with some big moves on sketchy concretions to finish.
