Ascents in South East as Clean as trad by davedave

Resigned myself to a mixed face and crack approach with good results. Will have to lead next time- few large cams, with a 5 and 2 sixes.

Following the hectic 2 pitch, 2 day siege self-yoyo approach by snapgate. Mega classic with a lovely finish !

Snapgate tells me the tree anchor is a bit stuffed, recommends CIT bolted anchors.

Aided up a meter or two to check the gear for snapgates ascents given the routes history, all seemed fine. Beautiful route, awesome climbing.

Paper book gives no stars, it can go get stuffed.

Jam school with sean, felt a bit loose in approachies.

good to have big gear for the opening moves

That move right is wild on lead and seccond.

So good, thin ?fradgile corner leads to glory hands

Needed to lower after hanging to clean gear. The top crack is sooo good

Three star crack, minus 2 for the poorly protected face climbing start.

One of the three Stuck cams has been cleaned.

A no4 at the first chockstone and a no5 for the last move keeps it pg. Superclassic, don't walk past it.

still don't like that low face climbing section, lovely upper.

Such quality rock at lower grade. Tree with Mallion lower off.

Doesn't work with a sprained ankle.

Soo good. Can use small gear out left to avoid large gear.

Feels at least a grade easier then jugganaught, lovely hands and fist leasing to the wide, with great rests and features to keep things reasonable. As the crack widens Craig used ball nuts and a no3 c4 before launching up the arete and over the smokestack to the chains. Three stars for sure.

Mega classic. Excellent gear, excellent climbing. Can rap with a 65m rope from the bolts above.

A bit thin and commuting in parts.

Felt a little sketchy in approach shoes. Had a crack at getting the stuck small black cam out. It's moving, just needs a bit more attention to liberate.

Difficult to protect early wide sections leads to pleasant jamming on the face, all over too soon.

Stiff, insecure start leading to beautify cormer with a crack system on each. Kal regretted not bringing more 3/4 Camelot's.

Favourite of the day, fun vari d climbing with good gear. Extra star if getting off was easier.

What a line. Gear looked good. What's the go with the lower off ? Two bolt hangers connected to chain with snaplink allow biners ? Works I guess.

Seconded it again, Should lead it next time

? Clean, check notes.

?Climbed some ?14 near here with ADW on Saturday. Meh,.

Fun and games on a cool climb until the offwidth. Paid for the gain out of the offwidth chimney in sweat. Fucking awesome.

Kept on jamming to second it clean. Fucking awesome climb - could never have too many 1-3s.

Pretty sure we used this route to access theory ledge

Awesome hand crack system. Need to work on good hand jams to lead this one.
