2 Laps - just to the last bolt (24 to here) clean, as the last moves were dripping wet. Managed to punch this one out, sans chalk, placing draws, no worries whatsoever.

Onsight didn’t go very well, a lot of useless chalk around. One fall at crux with a bad sequence. Sorted the sequence second go then jugs to the top, but not a drop of chalk along the way, had to brush quite a bit of spider webs off.
I sent pretty comfortably second go. Much nicer with beta and draws on. No knee bar, oh, but I can get 4 fingers in the first pocket (with a squeeze) Hop on now, the top is chalked! It’s not a sandbag! |

Minging on that right crimp is not my idea of a warm up, didn’t use the side pull. Linked into Stereo.
Wouldn’t pull on it again, but it’s good that it gives you another way to start these routes. |

grade 19 pitches definitely get harder as you go, great exposed position with entertaining climbing on great holds, with the added benefit of the hardest moves being protected by fixed hangers.
definitely worth changing quickdraws to include hms or round stock beeners to mitigate any chance of the carrots falling off the small bolt heads. |

Thought Tom Thumb was just a little better. Didnt place a nut, but could have. Could have used a size 4 cam too!
Nice high DRB with good vision to previous belay. The now standard trad finish had a hairy little hand traverse heading left once the crack reaches the ferny scoop. I think an offset nut would have been mint to protect this move until you can plug a green cammie in the horizontal. Enjoy |
