Ascents in Bowler Boulder having Beta

with Adele

Great route, always wanted to do it back in the day, partner was allergic to bees and it always has a bee hive in it.

Excellent climb - one to lead someday!

Very fun

alright. Would be more fun if the crack at the bottom were longer

Tough lead at the grade

Hard work almost all the way, easing only at the final thin hand crack. Takes lots of micro to medium nuts, and micro cams are very useful in the middle crack which is flaring and difficult to get good nut placements in.

Nice, but very short. Takes small nuts down low, then can get cams in higher up when the flake opens a little.

Good fun. Obscure, interesting climbing.

Old favourite

short and sweet

my first trad 19!

Looks a little better than it climbs.

Ends just as it starts to get interesting.

We manufactured a semi-direct finish.

great moves, looks unlikely fro the ground

shame its so short

A bit different. Sharp but very good. With Phil.

why did it seem so hard?

nice a bit pumpy

Great fun.

More strenuous than I thought it would be. Gotta love that last move...

did it in runners

Good short fingery problem, worth doing

Loved it, really good jamming, with good Pro as well, not sure about the grade, more like 15

Lint lead, tough moves down low

Quite difficult down low. Ant 2nd.

Nice gear, good moves, easy top half.

A few nice jams, easy top.

It was over before it began.

A clean boulder problem up a thin crack.

A sunny solo warm up.

really enjoyable

awkward gear, testing climbing with an unlikely finish!

Backed off start twice. Route finding difficulties and getting benighted on a 13m climb, Hmmmmmm. With Paul.

Sustained climb with good gear & jams

Done with Thai

Bloody thin, should go replace the bolts in this at some stage when the place is open
