Repeat attempt, not clean today. Just the one lap for fitness and to re-remember the beta for Match . I was pretty happy to put together the entirety of the upper crux section with minimal hassle, years after I was last on this. Amazing climbing from about the 5th bolt up!
There are two lines of variously vegetated cruddy overgrown cracks through ironstone on this wall - both have probably been climbed and named in the past, one has a more recent SS carrot. I climbed both with little pleasure.
Repeat attempt (for training) not clean today. Climbed via the Sentinel start. The wheels fell off here, and I had a rest at the crux. Too much climbing for 2 days!
Repeat attempt (for training), not clean. Climbed clean into the main crux, fell off, and came down. Happy just to link through that first crux without remembering the beta at all... it's intense.
Repeat. Aiding the crux move makes this the standard warmup for this part of the world. As much as the rest of this route just keeps getting better to me, the crux just keeps getting more unpleasant.
Fun climb, well protected. It’s a pity it’s not more travelled to clean up some of the loose stuff. Apparently still lead-able when Tim had a suspected broken rib
As described great finger crack but sadly broke a hold at crux and pulled two small cams to hit the ground. The cams were placed deep enough but the rock is too soft and they pulled. Wouldn’t recommend it to anyone unless another bolt is placed, I was lucky just to get away with some bruises and a suspected broken rib. Maybe Groundfalll would be a better name?
Still brilliant!
