Begehungen in Ivory Tower als Sport von o_g

Really enjoyed this. First few metres are a bit sharp and awkward untill you get to the clean orange rock under the capping roof. Them it's lovely technical steep off vertical climbing.

Worthwhile. It's a little run out, and there is a closely bolted route just to the right that detracts, as when it feels run out, there is a bolt a metre to the right on the other line that confuses the issue.

More face climbing. Sweet.

Cool long pitch. Good warm up for the harder routes, but some prickly holds detract.

Got a bit scared trying to climb the start where the Topo shows it going. No bolts and a 10m ground fall didn't appeal, so retreated. Turns out the route angles in from 10m to the right. Great climbing in the top 10 metres.

Good technical face, with a physical blocky roof.

Strange diaganal line, has some nice climbing. Tricky at the end mounting the diving board block.

Had to use the full bag of tricks to tick this, including taping my thigh to make a knee bar comfortable, and skipping 3 clips. Third shot today. Pretty sore after contorting myself into the big hole to try to recover. Phhhhhew.

This line looked so good as we walked past the crag, had to give ita go. Fell of on the move left to the small hole at the top of the Iinitial tufa system. Felt hard even after resting on the rope, but the tufas were a bit damp, so may feel easeasier in better conditions? Hope so anyway, because if not, I have no chance.... Ok from big hole to top.
