Ascents in South East by Jeff Callow

Good challenging trad lead climb for someone at my level. I lead the first half then I belayed from the tree half way up while my partner lead the second half. [copied over from duplicate account]

Good warm up / beginner's training climb.

More of a 14 if you get a bit of help from the tree!

Full on lay back at the start.

Nice!

My very first trad climb.

A little bit pumpy just after the start.

Climbed on trad gear. Needed a selection of smaller nuts and the following cams: 0.2, 0.5, 1 (need 2-3) and no. 3.

Climb has two or three alternate routes. Bolts available for lead climbing. In shade of trees near southern stairs.

Enjoyable challenge (for me)

The roof at the top of the slab has changed since I last climbed this route back 11 years ago. There's a build up of sand or set cement powder or something similar that has removed some of the former hand-holds on the rocks of the roof. So the roof moves are a bit harder than they used to be.

Easy warm up

Make sure you have some small cams with you: 0.3 & 0.4 are a must!

Good learner trad climb.

This is a great climb. Took massive fall from just under the anchor down to the third bolt. This climb could do with another bolt somewhere on the final slab!

Classic as always

Classic climb!

Left-hand variant (same as trad route, but using the bolts)

Majorly awkward. Pteradactyl is a much better climb.

Interesting, nice moves, easier than Halva but no bolts. (Climbed 3 laps)

Good lead climb practise

Nice bit of crack climbing work. Rock a bit flaky at the bottom (hence the name).

3 laps

3 laps

A bit dirty

Enjoyable warm-up. No marking, so not sure if I climbed Zoro or this one.

Very dirty
