Ascents in Clemency Wall having Beta

this time with Ross

with Ben. I initially led this groundup with no bolts but added them after figuring out the best spots.

pretty sure dunc linked into this from the ground to get to caritas in one pitch.

I think that we did the right version...somehow hard to tell.

Linked with Alienation. Again not much gear but pretty fun climbing. Committing moves off the dodgy rusty piton but quite fun.

Linked this to Caritas.

This is not a sport route. Dunno why mark changed it from mixed trad to sport

Cool Link-up Multi. The last little bush bash up to Halfway House was type two fun.

Good fun climbing

With Pete. 12 Nov 05 with Mark

Followed dave this time. He had an epic.Like a 2 and a half hour epic!! Then he said he had to go home. He has a blind date!! DAHHHHHHHHHHH.

Been told by the ethics police to shape up or ship out, so I say goodbye to the treasured onsight (begrudgingly)! Wanted to lead the 18 variant, but was too pumped after Alienation. Nice crux, wasn't entirely sure I was on route, you can't see the FH from below the overhang. Susy 2nded.

Not too bad, a few runouts and marginal gear in places, but overall pretty good.

18/2/06: 2nd Duncan. 11/2/06: My trad climbing gear, and skills, are rusty.

With Rob

with Ben

My trad climbing gear, and skills, are rusty.

climbed with bolting pack - ugh!

From ground to top of Caritas in one pitch.

with E

With Azza. Permission gained from Gareth today to retro.

Guiding Kym - p2

Worth a star.

seconded Linds on this, good fun

Linked w/ Divergence w/ double ropes, so had major rope weight by the last 6m. Was feeling sketchy in the last steep section above the final ledge, but pulled through for the grand finale. Totally loved the hand traverse!

Thoroughly enjoyed this pitch! Nice pro too, not sure what everyone is talking about! This is Tibro after all.

Pleasant little pitch.

I ran it out a bit, but had enough bolts..

Cool to try the other way of this variant. Actually felt just as hard as the right side.

I found this quite neat. Cool features

Finally got this one, after 2nding Susy up it last week, & going off route on my 1st attempt 2 weeks ago. Not so nice, gear's thin, holds are thin. Bridging & laybacking is the key to this one 1 heart stopping moment: 6m above the last bomber gear, my foot slipped off the lichen, held my ground & made the clip (cleaned out the pants later). Susy 2nded.

With Mark. Believing (fantasising) that it could not possibly rain any more, we concocted ourselves a 4 pitch plan however at the Divergence anchor I remarked that it looked like there was rain about to sweep in. One screwgate and a clove hitch later, it hit me. I was fine with the torrent, but at the explosion of thunder right over my head I cowered like a cur and wailed "lower!!" 30 Oct 05 with Mark and Horney. The grades here reflect differently to what I am used to ie Frog

realy nice climbing. Still waiting for the hard moves

Very sharp crimps - great job Phil =)

Superb rock, highly recommended

With Johan, interesting moves, quite sustained and really good fun.

23/1/05: quick TR. 22/12/02: First ascent. A very cool new route!

Very nice

I seconded Lee on this and then did the second ascent

Cracking little route. Well worth doing.

One thin pull, Nice route but not as fun and sustained as it's neighbour.

A bit of a pants-filler in some spots. Really needs a bolt between the last bolt and the chains. Perfect rock for it, and absolutely zero pro. I didn’t use my smallest cam on this, so I wouldn’t write it off completely if you don’t have aliens! Nice slabbing!

Quite nice! A little featury and some razor crimps at the crux,but otherwise not too bad at all.

Climbed on John's pre-placed gear to protect the start (too lazy to put my own). Nice onsight by Mr. Pownall.

Quite committing, delicate moves with not great gear up to first fixed hanger. Quite easy climbing to anchors but again not much gear. Glad I was seconding this
