Begehungen in The Fault Lines

Following another good onsight, in which we temporarily displaced Mrs Lizard, basking head down, on the upper portion of the crack.

I confess to slipping off the first move the first time, then reducing the length of the climb by approximately 0.47m in reaching for the anchor a tad early after having a mental moment some distance above my #3 RP.

Take very small wires, a cool head and careful steps. A great climb on which old-school slabbers can exercise their vestiges of fortitude. Crux is on the ground, or wherever you want to make it.

Great gear, clean crack, but interesting moves! Following Haily's very able onsight.

The only time I can recall ever leading anything on pre-placed gear. Short, solid and sweet.

Climbed to see if worth cleaning .. a bit dirty and friable, so not right now.

Great now-clean crack with good rests and gear! Lower part 15-16 with a few crux moves at top.

Generally poor rock and gear, plus grass - crap!

Slipped off first move first time then top-roped clean. Nearly all wall climbing with a few crack moves, would require a confident leader with excellent skills with small wires even though 3-10mm crack now clean.

Short and good with clean moves and gear. Top has a thick layer of debris right on the edge which I brushed a bit prior.
