Ascents in Joll's Bridge by Vanessa Wills

So slippery today in the spooge

Dirty

Rpt. Totally spoogy. For a lead I think grade 20

Rpt, good moves, make it easy. 2 laps to set up TRs.

Worthy of rebolt, the carrots and FH are pretty manky, but some good moves. In todays spooge and 100% humidity it felt super hard. Gave horizontals a good clean out first go.

Rpt, surprisingly clean today and climbs nicely. I was surprised.

Rpt, couple of laps.

Rpt. Some ok movement

Two laps for good measure.

Reacquainting myself with the two finger pocket. Rest of it fine.

I can catch the start move by a fingernail, the rest is ok, but still some long moves, pleased to tick it again though.

Short but worthwhile

Like being at the bouldering gym

Unlike the apes, I find this climb harder than Skb due to the one move. But if you pull on the second draw it makes a good warm up.

Rpt.

Pretty sandy but quite nice if treated like an arête and not a offwidth

Not even sure if this is even 24 if you can't reach. At 22 must be the coasts biggest sandbag.

These 3 routes need a bit of a retrobolt to go withthe new gentrification

Thin slab, enhanced by finishing up overhanging arete

Ok if retroed and some anchors....

Better than it looked

Quite a nice route to very scenic belay ledge

Pitch 1 second clean, quite chossy. P2 second - aided on draw rather than dyno onto R shoulder.

Followed Paul up this. Top is stil scary off ledge

Getting up to ledge. Quite reachy and the lock off on shoulder was painful....

Think this is the new finish to the start of B Jam. A 4 snake climb!!

Damn my negative ape factor. Fueled by Mother. Perhaps shouldve tried Rockstar instead!

To cave (pitch 1). Not very sustained due to ledges.

Onsight after pedestal- had been on lower section before due to confusion with routes. A few good bits. All RBs plus 2 for anchors (take 14)

Bit of a one move wonder, cant blame the friction today

Doesnt need the chipped hold at crux- I cant reach it and can do without it

Thanks for the shiny new bolts Pete. Need to rap off. Felt easier than a Jolls 22 should.

A bit ledgy. Hard slab moves if you dont have the span

Did it in 2 pitches but it could be done as 1. Take some trad gear- its not fully bolted - oops.

Has been rebolted, a bit scary getting to second bolt.

Supercedes thc, worth going all the way to the top

finally led it clean.

a bit chipped and reachy, out of time

It was a bit dirty and I had no appropriate cams but oddly fun for an offwidth

another one needs consumerisation. TOugh but good.

Previous top rope. Interesting variation up the cracks

Took a few goes to get the start clean

Excellent friction today, still exciting with a rebolt

Next to rebolt, hard crux move

no harder than the hard 20s on this wall. Rebolted.

very cruxy, definitely harder than 21

the rebolt works well

Fell off after crux second shot in the hot sun. A mtns 23.

dont even mind the chipped pocket on this. New bolts and anchor half done

more rebolting on way

in the middle of a rebolt

Would fit in well at Shipley slabs if it had more bolts

Add a coupla grades

Shame no anchors above the crack.

omitted the start cairn. Some heel hooks and a memorable mantle

Some very rusty carrots and some very tricky moves. Some new RBs, anchors and double ropes and small gear and it would be a safe lead.

Finally did this clean. Interesting to see how a taller person did it

overrated and chipped

overrated. Horrible slab at top
