Ascents in Duck Wall as Pink point

Good and surprisingly sustained. Seem to have to rest my way to glory on things at the moment, must bore the crap out of belayers

Quite a battle in the end! Lots of interesting movement, felt pretty solid for the grade. Crux possible three ways. I pounced. Birthday sendage. [3]

Rad! First 26 in a while and it went without too much fuss, this time. Second shot, after draws on.

Great to tick of last years project. Battled bad conditions and but kept it together on the 3rd shot today.

3rd shot. Fell off matching the anchor-clipping hold on my second shot! Despite disgustingly wet conditions, I was pretty happy to get this one ticked off without too much hard work. Three distinct and different cruxes, though the rock is far from spectacular. The top headwall is the money here.

Definitely suits my style. Fun climb, surprised to do it second go.

Took a long time to work out sequences/hang draws. Lee followed and used some different crux beta. Decided to switch my sequence and try his on the send go, just squeaked it. Pumped outa my scone from the crux all the way to the chains lol

This is the best route in the world! [2]

Nice location and good bouldery crux. Better than people claim, but still not amazing. Ticked on second attempt.

Friction was good today so I decided to have an end of day crack at this old dog, after Vanessa cruised it second shot. Just held on, through the short but quite thin and techy crux, then just had to remember the finish. Certainly not a hard 25 but i couldn't do it the last few times i tried it and it seems to be easier, the shorter you are.

I had few tries at the crux. Nearly got it but not quite. Decided to have a rest and then give it a proper go and see what happens.... My first 25! I'm happy, happy, happy....

Thought I was off on the mono stack, but body somehow stayed on; a give away at 25 (if you're not tall). Cool moves above the crux too actually, with the little crimps!

Great end of day climb, doesn't get you pumped. Just some techy moves on tiny holds halfway up. Nice change of style from the rest of the crag.

Third lap. First 25! Absolutely loved the sequence. Really suits my style and smaller fingers; thin, techy and sequency.

It was worth that one more go!

Yeah buddy!!! My first 25. Pretty chuffed to get it second shot. Didn't have high hopes as the sun had come around the corner since my first attempt but I managed to stick the crux and claim the send.

Crimpy crimpy. 2nd shot

Stuck the crux move, resisted the barn door and pulled through to the chains.

Embraced the mono 🖕

First go today (2). dave kindly put draws on. No easier than first try but at least I knew where to go at top

Well worththebattle

Followed some troll tick mark at the top, and fell off, while putting the gear on. Second shot no worries, great route!!

Despite rubbish wet conditions today, it was good to come back to this route (something of a nemesis quite a few years ago) and dispatch it relatively easily today. All the moves are great, and it features quite a few tough sequences at the grade. The thin middle-section was quite the challenge.

Second shot

Pumpyyy. Fun face crux and punchy finish.

Redemption. Cracker climbing

Second shot. 23 for the red-point. Fell off on the last move of the crux at the top (where everyone does). Great steep-ish face climbing to the crux, then some strenuous climbing to the anchors through the steepness (and via much glue). Definately not as bad as I've heard people say.

2nd shot, stumbled at the last move before anchor on onsight attempt.

2nd shot today, 3rd total. I couldn't work out the crux any other way than HARD. Hard moves also guard the anchors and they are not obvious.

Felt smooth

stabbed my hand into the wall rather than the bucket slot and lost the onsite. Second shot fun bouldering at the top.

Had the straight up beta completely dialed and milked a rest before the crux sequence to get this clean. Still think the right beta is much harder.

Warm up

Repeat. Always good.
