Ascents in The Lighthouse by Paul Frothy Thomson having sport-cpr or ascent-date

Not necessarily easier than its neighbour... but certainly more straightforward stylistically. Better rock for the most part, and the pocketed finale -in particular- is great.

Backlogging. I did this one last year, not sure why I didn't log the ascent. Easy when you know the moves, nails if don't. Super exposed.

3 March 2011. No hard moves, but long, run-out (without supplemental gear), and exposed, with a fiesty crux right at the top. Brilliant point-perp classic!

Didn't find most of this too hard... except for the start boulder, which I doubt I would've flashed had Neilio not chalked up the key hold. Good climbing in a stop-start manner, but the rock deteriorates as you get higher.

I placed the crux draw, does that make it a red point? Not remembering any of the moves, I was pretty slow through the crux sequence and consequently it didnt feel easy. KNOWING the sequence, this climb is probably soft at the grade. Pretty cool moves, great exposure and pumpy for a such a short climb.

Seconding Neil. 1 fall at the crux when I messed up the sequence. This is classic Point Perp climbing with a hard (and hard to read) crux. The arete at the top is gold, and the position is EXCITING. Quite mossy at the top. I don't think that this gets done too often.

Repeat. 2 Laps. Truth be told, I fell off the bulge-boulder below the arete on my first lap, but corrected it on the second. A mixed bag of quality, and the arete itself is really easy, but it was still fun enough. Pretty much every hard move is escapable if you stray from the bolts a bit.

Repeat, this time 2nding Rob. Short and punchy, with a particularly boulder finale. Unfortunately this type of rock is always rather grainy, but the pocketed-boulder at the top with tonnes of exposure justifies the effort and makes this totally worthwhile.

Repeat x 2. A bloody good warmup for the harder stuff, but quite intense! Just 15m of quality pocket-pulling.

2 Laps to warmup -the second with 10kgs of extra weight for training.

Still hard at the grade, but still super awesome for such a short route. Steep technical pocket cranking in an exposed position FTW.

Repeat. 2 Laps for training. Damn I love this thing

Repeat, I've ticked this previously. Great climbing and position. A move at the start was harder than I remember it being, but the rest of the climb felt significantly easier (even the somewhat desparate finale). A great line and an amazing trio of Point Perp climbs on this wall.

Repeat. This is just a really fun climb, and not too hard at the grade. Feeling good on the slow return-to-form after 5 months on the couch.
