Ascents as Tick by Ben Dickson

Don't think this climbs too nicely compared to Desperate Living - the first section is easy if you climb it poorly and just yard up the slopers, the cruxy part through the underclings is nicer. Didn't link this today as it was impossible to see the footers in dark even with head-torch, but felt marginally easier then DL

This climbs really excellently, just shame the gear isn't better. Soft for the grade.. soft as in sand.. in a bag. Feels probably closer to 22 (edit: assuming ELV is probably 21) - harder on toprope than ELV was to lead. Quite comparable climbs: about same height, both quite bouldery, but ELV is less sustained.. and has bolts.. and rock that probably wont kill you

A nice climb - had led the first pitch with Jack/Nicola previously, wanted to lead the second, and climb was nicely in shade. Felt much easier leading than sketchy seconding technique we used last time (basically short-roping myself to second)

Good test of new approach shoes. Crux is nice couple of moves, although doesn't seem like it'd be too fun to fall from

Good climb. Was very warm day and climb pleasantly in shade whole way. The scrambling on the first pitch seemed perfectly fine, and had decent gear protecting the any of the tricky parts (including opposed nut placement in horizontal before the choss-crux up the big sloping rock about half way up). Amy led the rest well, after a bit of encouragement to lead the last pitch. Aided through the chimney on last pitch to avoid faff with backpack

With Uni Club. Think this is the line on the arete just left of Digital Input, kind of similar to Mt Olive

With Uni Club day. No hands to about 1/3rd height then resorted to one handed to top (should probably log it as aid-climb ascent type)

Off-line top-rope setup made this feel more awkward than I recall last time.

Think I did this year or two ago but almost definitely went too far right at the start and skipped crux. Did properly this time, nice climb. Felt leadable although didn't look too closely at gear around the two cruxy parts

Top-roped in dark with shonky head-torch as I lost mine earlier that day. Really nice climb. Went to try leading it next day until torrent of rain bucketed as we were walking to the cliff. Next time!

Jack's first multipitch lead \o/ First time trying climbing two seconds with a single rope - Nicola tied into ~middle of rope with alpine-butterfly, then I basically short-roped myself to her with the remaining rope. Used microtraxion to adjust rope length from second pitch onwards (after first pitch became effectively a solo due to amount of slack I impatiently let accrue). Technique worked quite nicely on easier climbs, would be scary on harder climbs (doubly so on anything balancey or with traverses)

Hadn't done this since it was my first lead climb. Not hard but quite nice climb. Doesn't seem like it needs any gear with the bolts on Fish Dream - although there's a more challenging right variant heading directly up the crack which would force it back into being a mixed route (although higher grade, maybe a 12?)

The binner on the top bolt is gone - left a small 6mm mallion on it to lower off (although would be good to replace it with something more convenient/visible)

A climb I tried and failed on a few moves into when I last tried it a long time ago when here with David (maybe a year ago). Reassuringly quite easy this time, probably could have led it without much issue (except the mantle top-out would have been an unpleasant surprise, is much easier to the right)

Excellent climb and impressive looking route. Looking forward to leading this next time.

First pitch only, as quick climb before we headed home. Pretty long pitch, did not have many draws left by the top

Second attempt, got past pumpy beginning this time, and rest of climb is good. Beginning is more sequencey than it first looked, much unhelpful chalk

Reclimbed in the dark with no light. A good challenge. One small slip where I stood up with only a tiny right-foot hold, and found no further hand or feet holds..

Not Tiptoe Ridge Direct start.. and 10 grades higher.. with about 8 metres before first reasonable gear placement, I get the feeling this was more enjoyable for me seconding..

After maybe taking unintentional grade 18 direct start, turned into nice easy but interesting route. The 2m abseil of the pinnacle was extremely sketchy and hard to pull ropes, but much less sketchy than trying to down climb the overhung face with zero holds.. Traversing around seems safer but final pitch is already pretty draggy and almost out of shouting range.

Amazing view distracted from easy but slightly unnerving lean over void at end of last pitch. Hanging abseil into valley just as sun was starting to set.

First multipitch climb \o/
