15 Bicameral desires - with Ben Vincent Trad 6m Upper Gara Gorge Good
Brendan Heywood
Wed 1st Aug 2018
We both rapped of in different directions seeing what else was around. Couldn't leave this nice little hand and fist crack undone. We hadn't planned on climbing anything so the only pro we had was a single blue cam - a second cam would have been great. Clipped the jumar on the rap line as a workaround

 
16 Chicken Wing to Bomb Town - with Ben Vincent, Benji Dutaillis Trad 12m Upper Gara Gorge Very Good

We'd eye this off while bouldering underneath it so didn't have a great sense of scale and thought it would be mostly offwidth and I was keen due to my hand still not being ready for crimping. It ended up climbing quite nicely, it felt like a small segment of a much larger multi pitch

Cruisy and flowly and a delight, just like impunity but more consistent. A #3 works in the first horizontal but a #4 is better

Super easy fun, the jugs rails would be amazing if they were on a steeper angle. The little chimney finish scrubbed up nicely for something a bit different

If this was a boulder on top of the gorge rim peeps would be all over it! A fun little number with no chalk and one cam

A fun route, with everything where you need it!

 
20 Rites Of Passage - with Benji Dutaillis Mixed trad 45m, 5 Upper Gara Gorge Good
Ben Vincent
Sun 19th Apr 2020
Had a bit of trouble finding the start (would've helped if I'd read the description properly) :-P From the two belayer/anchor carrots follow 3 carrots up the slabby scoop to the R (there is great potential further to the left for better slab). Cool moves through the overlap and L bring you to the base of the next slab which is thin and cruxy and gets the grade I guess. Two more carrots here up the slabby arete. The crack at the top is beautiful and eats up red (#1), yellow (#2) and Blue (#3) BD cams.

Not quite as 'classic' as we were expecting but still good fun. Even got to use the homemade BBB's (Bloody Big Bro's).

A very nice, high quality line! After a long hiatus I was fortunate enough to milk the rest and find some endurance.
