Ascents in The Playground having Beta

nice, deserves at least 1 star. i know why i sport climb now. good pro but scary due to the fact that i am a trad spazz.

onsight

I think its at least a 12

like climbing a ladder, good for my first trad without steve next to me

First full Trad climb a good route to pratice placing cams while on lead.

Would be a great route for practicing Trad on

It would be better if this climb was longer.

first half-decent new route

first shot, unseen.

[1/4]

awkward and hard fighting the barndoor, ill try another time when im feeling more fresh

tricky crux

still working on getting it nice and clean

Finished with a rest at the crux

The poxy corner with the tree felt too easy this direct start makes it a good challenge with an easy finish in "Sea Wasp"

cool route, good gear

this was a good test for my ability to place gear, I didnt bother slinging the tree

V groove looked a bit tricky when setting up the top rope but quite easy to climb.

Too easy

The v groove was great wish it was longer.

gets tricky 3/4 of the way up but loads of fun

Started climbing at night once I got into the dihedral it was so dark I couldnt see the holds, sadly had to abandon the climb

Got myself into an awkward position and had to go back down to last foothold. Selected a different foothold and went well from there up.

Jeez, how long since I've led anything??

A very busy place that day. Had to wait in line.

first assisted hoist! this made me snivle on lead, i was a little desparete at the crux when placing gear

[2/3]

Easy warm up climb

This was fun!

Top crack felt hard for the grade. Resisted the urge to do a layback and semi chimney / spiderman'ed my way up

got it unseen first shot which gives is good as i now have confidence to onsight more routes - average lead potential

rests through crux

one move wonder moving over the under cling, u just dont wann let go as the crimps above are small and sharp

Sharp

really good crimpy climb works the finger strength

investigation attempt, distinguishing between slopey crimps and holdable crimps

crimps! Did the last section to the top aswell. Maybe when my balls drop I will try it on gear.

Too pumped from getting gear out!

despite havign double ropes the drag was still a little bad - i liked the rock features though

seconded Doug

Too good best 15 north of the tropics

?not too sure what I was on, this is smiley. 3 laps

Blowout

High wind

[1/2]

Good intro to Mt Stuart's rock.

love that cling

Good climb with plenty of hands and feet the whole way. The final crack looks hard however has a smaller finger pull crack running the whole way up

Not much gear in the first 6m, easy but not a good place to fall

Practiced leading and placing gear while on top rope.

2nd Nick for him getting placement practice
