Ascents in Stormcock Area

Lost the onsight on this. I jammed so hard that my pinky is still numb

2nd go! Short but amazing hand jams!

Spanked!

Sam onsighted this. I had to follow and remove gear Bloody hard work. He owes me a beer.

too much unsettled and loose debris near top... escape contingency essential...

Great fun first section - put yourself into 3D mode!

Fun beginning and end with a staircase in between the two.

Traverse a little daunting until you work it out.

tough 10

Clearly not a 10. Great bouldery start. Crux is the traverse (Grade 13 maybe?). Had severe issues with rope drag because of the start up the detatched block, the traverse, I fucked up the extensions and then we belayed a long way back from the edge. Maybe easier to do in two pitches? Might be due to difference in weight of lead and second.

BEWARE of huge loose blocks when climbing over the ledges higher up. Run out to the top of the leaning boulder then traverse right with high jugs and undercling then up to the bush and onwards. Not a grade 10.

Definitely a step up from the other lower grade climbs at the crag. Tough little move to get off the ground onto the face of the block and an exciting traverse halfway up the climb to get to the arete.
