Ascents in Ben Lomond by topher

With Jed and Tom. Led the crux pitch, but that meant Jed got the second 20/21 pitch, which was the most amazing climbing I've done for a long, long time. Awesome.

Super awesome first pitch. Starts with perfect hands, and basically just keeps going right to the belay with a couple of slightly wider sections. Thought the crux was definitely the overhang on p2.

Awesome, took absolutely everything out of me, and was trying not to vomit at the belay. Started in the wrong crack, with wet, slimy crap for 5m, but the main crack is amazing. Most of the crack is super thin hands, with a couple of decent rests, and feet to the R of the crack. Would be have been more comfortable with 4 #1 and 3 #0.75 cams.

a pile of choss from the start and it doesn't get any better. NOT worth the walk
