Ascents in West of the access track as various tick types by Douglas Hockly

Take care and small wires on the start

God this is desperate.

Good but has a substantial loose bit

Insecure feeling, not that fun

This is better than it looks! The top offwith is great, I used stacked handjams which worked well.

Better than it looks, but has some loose blocks to be careful of up high. Also more like 17 off the ground than 15

I really like this one. Surprisingly takes a blue cam 3 camalot at the top.

Take some small wires

I remember having a wobbler above the bolt on this!

The start detracts, and the rest is quite hard, feels as hard as other 22s

Hard and the gear strenuous to place. Good climbing but some loose bits.

Love this one.

Rapped down and looked at the gear first. IIRC there's nothing to the crux and not much after it but I got about 4 bits on the crux that I thought would hold a slump.

Found this hard, maybe 24?

It's been a long time but I remember being a bit put off by the rock quality, and hence the gear that's in it.

My fave at Frog

Hollow corner at the top is a bit offputting

My first 23 flash

This is surprisingly good. No real offwidthing required.

I only just got up this! I did it by chimneying which was exhausting, maybe there is a better way. (Wendy did it much better) There really is no gear till half height, and some poor rock, and it's filthy... get on it.

I thought this was really nice, and I think the gear would be better these days with micro cams. Could be 22.

A bit graunchy but good.

The crux placements have shattered which is not that confidence inspiring. You can get questionable cams now. Delicate climbing on your feet.

More like a toprope. I went up Bad Company to the first good bit of gear, which is 2/3 of the way up the route. I would not trust the gear in the initial corner at all. Much scarier than Out On A Limb or The Go-Between. Climbing is ok, top crack is nice. I think 22.

Good but the hard bit is short if you start up Odin like we did.

A good line but the climbing is easier to the left and then the right so it ended up feeling a bit contrived to me.

Not that great, and neither is the gear when it matters

I find this to be solid 21. Great climbing, though feels insecure all the way. Every time I do it I remember that Malcolm soloed it. Gawd.

Quite horrible, consists of stacked blocks which contain the gear...

Not too hard, and not as bad as it looks. Some loose rock but no real offwidthing, you can head onto the R wall at the top

This seemed quite easy for 19... on second. There is a fair bit of loose rock but not awful. Climbing is ok.

I had a great experience on this.. a bit scared, at my limit, but got up it. I thought it was great but YMMV

I thought this was horrible. The first half is ok but the top is just a jigsaw of loose blocks.

I remember hating this before I could jam!

I think the start has cleaned up a bit by now but still take care.

OK, I wasn't really taken with this but it is a nice long pitch. I found the finish very hard.

Better than it looks and there are a number of stances on the way.

These days I put a side runner in IIL to the right as the wire placement at the start is not that inspiring.

Great. And well protected.

An interesting move or two but short

Don't really remember this, the climbing didn't stand out.

I quite like this but it's very hard when you have rudimentary wide crack skills!

Pretty poor gear. There's not much climbing either.

The start is interesting (and a bit slick and desperate) but the chimney up the top is no fun. And no gear. And some loose bits.

Really great.

Awsm!

Second or third shot, after which it was promptly downgraded from 26... sigh. Boulder problems between jugs.

Beautiful climbing in the initial groove and the top, the crux is not quite as nice - just really hard crimping. I wore a groove in my left boot on the crux edge - always thought my foot was going to blow but I guess the groove held it on! Strangely takes lots of gear between #2 and #3 RP size. 3 days I think.

Good gear, great climbing, lovely route.

This is really great! interesting and varied climbing, though can be a bit dirty up high.

Pretty good, one hard move up the top, but the linkup or Epic are better

Everyone, it seems, loves this route except me. It's a good looking line but there is a frightening amount of loose rock in the first half, an unpleasant slopey mantle and then a quite avoidable offwidth. The climbing's just not very good.

Really like this one. Varied and interesting.

Most people seem to think this is a mega classic but it doesn't really grab me. It's good, but some loose feeling rock and the way it goes out to the arete detracts for me. Still very good, I just enjoy other things more.

super slippery now

I remember wobbling up this with anchor-like rope drag on one of my first leads at Frog

Not worth it.

Wobbled my way up this as one of my early 21s...

Horrible, but all chimneys are the same. They should only be used for expelling smoke, not climbing.
