fantastic little climb

Bit desperate at the top.

Easily around the block, sus rock beyond.

Fun. Think I avoided any jamming.
	21	FA Bloodletting	Trad 15m	Black Hill	Average	Paul Badenoch	Thu 30th Nov 2000
Tried hard on lead but had to settle for a clean toprope. A reachy move then a pull or two. Good luck.
	17	Late Night	Trad 20m	Black Hill	Average	Paul Badenoch	Sat 1st Jul 2000
Nice start, then care needed in vegetated corner.

Underrated in my opinion! A nice climb. Had to get some RPs sent up the rope for the first piece but ok past that.
	15	Womp Rats	Trad 15m	Black Hill	Crap	Paul Badenoch	Mon 7th Nov 2016
A gutsy lead. Fewer widowmakers now but really, really bad rock.
	10	Princess Leia	Trad 8m	Black Hill	Don't Bother	Paul Badenoch	Mon 7th Nov 2016
A climb with variety if nothing else.

	14	FA ★ Mr Forgetful	Trad 10m	Black Hill	★ Good	Ben Dickson	Sat 20th May 2017
Top-roped a few weeks previously, then led with no warmup which wasn't the best idea - tired arms and some of the holds had reaccumulated sand. Nice climb, well protected.
	12	★ Caber Tosser	Trad 18m	Black Hill	★★ Very Good	James Thomson	Mon 25th May 2020
Sustained, good pro, relieved to find DBB at top (Thx whoever put it there}!
	12	Dirk	Trad 20m	Black Hill	★ Good	James Thomson	Mon 25th May 2020
Not much pro at the 1st {harder} half
	16	Equilibrium and Entropy	Trad 13m	Black Hill	★ Good	James Thomson	Mon 13th Jul 2020
Wandered off right - (actual route too hard) - great name & abbrev.!
	12	★ Ode to Skweaker	Trad 15m	Black Hill	★★ Very Good	James Thomson	Mon 13th Jul 2020
Need to lead top section - it isn't the 'blank' wall, it's the big crack further over
	12	★ Ode to Skweaker	Trad 15m	Black Hill	★★ Very Good	James Thomson	Sun 2nd Aug 2020
Grade 12+ Good training!
	14	★ Mr Forgetful	Trad 10m	Black Hill	★ Good	Slackaction	Tue 25th Aug 2020
Sandy, pumpy, needed wider gear for the top out. Came here looking for cable crag, turns out the the map has it in the wrong spot! Settled for an arse kicking on a staunch 14

First free ascent. Very technical up high. Harder than Boulevard Olympics.
	18	★ The Carlesque Way	Top rope 8m	Black Hill	★ Good	pamelalansbury	Sat 12th Dec 2020
First free ascent. I wouldn't give this any stars. Probably the worst line at the crag with the worst rock too. V0 boulder crux.

	18	★ The Carlesque Way	Top rope 8m	Black Hill	★ Good	pamelalansbury	Sat 12th Dec 2020
First Free Ascent. Worst line at the crag with the worst rock too. Doesn't deserve a star. Essentially a V0 boulder problem.

Really cool line. Powerful for the grade.
	V1	★ Unnamed 4	Boulder 3m	Black Hill	★ Good	Carl Schneider	Mon 21st Aug 2017
Cool, classic slab with lovely little crimps. Committing last move!
	V0 V1	★ The Nose (Unnamed 3)	Boulder 3m	Black Hill		Carl Schneider	Mon 21st Aug 2017
Nice warm up line.
	V0	★ Unnamed 5	Boulder 4m	Black Hill	★ Good	Carl Schneider	Mon 21st Aug 2017
Cool line, classic slab.
	V0	Mmm, Smooth Calves	Boulder 5m	Black Hill		Carl Schneider	Sun 27th Aug 2017
Easy climb but a little tricky at the top...
	V3	★★ Unnamed 2	Boulder 3m	Black Hill	★★ Very Good	Ollie Dow	Tue 11th Feb 2020

Sketchy top out
	V3	★ Ambers Ruin (Unnamed 1)	Boulder 3m	Black Hill	★ Good	Ben Dickson	Sat 29th Feb 2020
Done starting with left-hand on decentish hold in crack, right-hand jam below. One slightly powerful move to get up, then a series of jams to get feet up for the top. Feels similar grade-wise to the non-eliminate route. Actually quite nice climb, and doesn't feel too contrived for an eliminate (given the start holds, would be quite hard to climb back into the regular line)
	V3	★★ Unnamed 2	Boulder 3m	Black Hill		Ben Dickson	Sat 29th Feb 2020
Really nice climb. Couldn't do this when I was last here in Aug 2017 with Pete/Carl/etc, but done today after a couple of attempts once I remembered sequence. Definitely much harder than V2 - given the last 2 commented ticks on here, and it felt harder to me than most of the V4's I've done at Grampians recently, I'll bump it. Feels V4'y to me, but is quite shouldery which I'm weak at, so I'll err on the side of sandbagging, and nudge this to V3
	V0 V1	★ The Nose (Unnamed 3)	Boulder 3m	Black Hill		Ben Dickson	Sat 29th Feb 2020
A nice V0. Most trustworthy holds on this face also
	V1	★ Unnamed 4	Boulder 3m	Black Hill		Ben Dickson	Sat 29th Feb 2020
This felt far more committing than I recall it from last time - rock is pretty friable, and crux was last move to the top, standing on almost nothing, popping from a not-great crimp. It's possible a hold has come of at about 3/4 height, as there is a clear patch of rock there. Nicer of the three slab lines here, just shame the rock quality is slightly sketchy
	V0	★ Unnamed 5	Boulder 4m	Black Hill		Ben Dickson	Sat 29th Feb 2020
Felt harder than Unnamed 3 on the left of the slab, crux also at the top.
	V3	★ Ambers Ruin - with Pete	Boulder 3m	Black Hill	★ Good	Ben Dickson	Tue 7th Jul 2020
Repeat. Fun crack climb. I re-sent this, Pete tried and broke the good edge of the start hold, and we both climbed it with the new start hold which looks way more solid now. The new start improves the climb, hard to tell if it made it any harder, but climbs differently and the start move is now also jam which is nice (a weird semi finger-lock)
	V3	★★ Unnamed 2 - with Pete	Boulder 3m	Black Hill	★★★ Classic	Ben Dickson	Tue 7th Jul 2020
Repeat. Excellent climb. As hard as I remember; fairly convinced this is V4 (in comparison to almost anything except maybe Pauls Roof warped grades)
	V2 V3	★ Ambers Ruin	Boulder 3m	Black Hill	★ Good	pamelalansbury	Tue 7th Jul 2020
Nice little crack. Much better now that a nice little ring lock is required to pull off the ground. Hold improvements are just one of the benefits to being fat!
	V3	★★ Unnamed 2	Boulder 3m	Black Hill	★★ Very Good	pamelalansbury	Tue 7th Jul 2020
Repeat. Always a fun little compression gem tucked away in Black Hill!

	V3	★ Ambers Ruin - with Elena	Boulder 3m	Black Hill	★ Good	Laurence Judd	Sun 20th Sep 2020
Interesting crack problem. Needs some more work before the send.
	V3	★★ Unnamed 2 - with Elena	Boulder 3m	Black Hill	★ Good	Laurence Judd	Sun 20th Sep 2020
Solid V3. And with the claimed lower start it feels like a V4. Strong moves up a great arete.
	V0 V1	★ The Nose (Unnamed 3) - with Elena	Boulder 3m	Black Hill	★ Good	Laurence Judd	Sun 20th Sep 2020
Nice line with an even better sit start. Give the sit a go for a bit more of a challenge.
	V1	★ Unnamed 4 - with Elena	Boulder 3m	Black Hill	★ Good	Laurence Judd	Sun 20th Sep 2020
Blank line with minimal decent holds.
	V0	★ Unnamed 5 - with Elena	Boulder 4m	Black Hill	★ Good	Laurence Judd	Sun 20th Sep 2020
high quality line with a nice right hand variant going at around V2.
