Ascents in South East as various tick types by Alex Hartshorne

Some of the dirtiest, loosest and nastiest rock on the pipes.

Excellent.

Best one up here

Did the harder RH varient finish. Sick!

Most of the climb is spent trying not to climb malignant mushroom, staying on average rock. The last 6m of climbing on the arete is very good however.

A bit escapable but good climbing!

5 sessions in total.

It took me a while to like this climb as it all comes down to a single boulder problem with a reinforced hold, however the moves are actually frikkin awesome and the position is stellar.

Possibly a little easier than Priapism.

Absolutely brilliant climb that has faded into obscurity. It required quite some cleaning of grass etc. but I left all the little shrubs as they're cool.

Due to my big fat hands I found this desperate even at 23, but Anna thought 22 with her wee mitts?

Reminds me of Atlantis and Holiday in Cambodia, but better, much harder and way more sustained.

Really good with a tricky thin hands groove.

Reccomend doing it as a single long pitch with 3x hand sized cams.

Rad route. Took a few goes due to greasy conditions today.

Better and harder than Expendable Youth not all that sustained.

I thought I was trying a 28 but it would make sense at 27 on a better conditions day. I also never found your kneebar Claudio!

Take a #1 c4.

Pretty good, tricky sizes for me.

Rad day out!

The climbing was a touch dirty in places but that's expected as this is an epic place.

The 26 pitch was great, the boulder problem in the corner felt hard but I'm a bit out of shape. Solved with granite squirm style! A knee pad would change things.

There where a couple of spots where clipping was difficult, pre equip for sure.

The desperate and scary mantle got easier as I pulled a minger off leaving a positive slot.

Cool boulder.

Best route we did here.

What an awesome route.

29/30, 7 days in total, had to cycle up the mount for this. I thought it was pretty difficult compared to other 8a aretes. Really tenuous balance of body position and power.

Nice one Gaz!

Did it to the slopey jug. Has anyone topped it out ever? I did it on a rope and it was super dirty and crumbly. Not to mention super high...

Sweet technical seam.

I climbed this years ago but its a little harder now some holds / feet have fallen off.

Great route. Bouldery face climbing to an exiting slap over the bulge!

Sick knee bar action.

Not sure how to grade this.

Step off ledge and smash out an all points dyno to the last move of Caligula.

Definitely harder than the original if solely a fun boulder.

Grrr, I onsighted to the jug at the top and my ankle inexplicably gave out. Some slick m mean crimpers pn this.

Easy climbing to a v6+ through the bulge.

Really tricky movement and more sustained than Flash Point.

Awesome.

Tricky move down low

Cool but soft as marshmallow

Really good route. Technical endurance climbing that's consistently quite steep, a nice change!

Finally. I found this very hard for the grade. Endurance 25 to a V6 lunge that is both a little reachy and VERY bunchy. Really good rock on the upper half.

Campus start heading up and left.

A slightly confusing climb. 26 if you head straight up and slightly left at the last bolt.

I was fixated on going up and right at the last bolt as it seemed logical, but doing this involves an awkward dyno at around 28.

Cool climbing but very contrived. A real fight to stay out of the corner.

First lead burn. Not much harder than Hercules but WAY more crimpy through the awesome rock at the top. I recommend pre-equiping a 120cm draw on the left last bolt to protect the moves following the bif move on Hercules.

Better than the left hand varient.
