Absolutely hyped to onsight this. What an experience, as good as I hoped it would be. Very pumpy if you dont remember to use your feet. The pod at 2/3 height was welcome. Probably agree with the crux being hard for the grade but not 21

Excellent climbing. Definitely deserves the R rating IMO, if one (pretty average) piece popped you’d be pretty close to the ground if not a soft deck. The smallest of micro cams might have helped protect this section

	17 R	★★★ Missing Link - with Tim Schofield	Trad 30m	★★ Very Good	Karina Schofield
Did the direct finish. For the first 2/3rds of the climb I placed only small wires and nothing larger than a 0.3 Camalot. It definitely felt like the R rating was deserved, and there was significant ground fall potential at the beginning of the climb. However, the traverse (which was easy) was actually not as scary as the unprotected, first 3 metres of climbing (which was one of the hardest parts of the climb) where I thought I might pitch off and land on the rocks below. I would recommend considering protecting the very beginning of the climb on abseil and stick clipping the first piece.

That overhanging offwidth/chimney at the start of pitch 2 is brutal and committing. If 15 is your max trad grade and you haven't done much crack climbing, don't even think about it.

One of the best climbs I have done in Araplies. Fantastic lead by Jack Leerson and hats off to him for holding on even after being hit by a bird flying out in fright from a hole in the wall! The exposed start makes for a exhilarating time and a frightening belay too. Will be back to lead it.

	18	★★★ Scorpion - with Rak	Trad 30m	★★★ Mega Classic	Jack Leerson
What a fight. To date I've not put so much into a climb. An intimidating start over a beautiful drop lead to a very trutchy chimney in which I very seriously questioned my choices. My reward for beating the chimney was being hit in the head by a bird leaving the crack. Started up the fist jamming section and what a great way to learn your first fist jam. Awesome sustained jamming, but bring multiple 3s and 4s or you will be left to bump your way up like a clown. Rak demonstrated some beautiful seconding on the way up.

Actually fell off trying to start too low (from in Scorpion Corner rather than stepping off the ledge), then did it right. A proper adventure. Awkward sized crack for me - wide hands, small fists. Could have used another 2-3 #3 cams. Just shuffled instead. Classicsville.
