Ascents in North West by Chris Snell having trad-cpr or ascent-date

Thanks to Danny for the gear and KP for the beta spray

Started via the first two bolts of Father O. Makes for a more consistent route - at least that’s what I’m telling myself until I figure out the crux!

Great route. Rage section is in the most awesome position with great crimpy moves then the top half (Angst) has a number of moves that require effort in between some reasonable shake outs. Was lucky to get the gear in and send first shot as I was too pumped to have a second attempt!

Really good. Tech moves between good holds and gear

V6 Boulder on monos off the top of the 22. Quite a nice little sequence.

Good gear. Route is straight up the central crack in the middle of the buttress. Step 1 metre right before going over bulge.

Had a play on the ab rope in the evening then first shot next day. Not too bad. Brilliant knee bar

Strenuous, Technical, Hard. Redpoint on pre-placed gear

Fun runouts. The hard moves are close to bolts. Nice new ring bolts. Should get more attention

Thanks to KP for putting all the gear in and giving me the beta.

Nice route. Found some heel-toe-foot-knee-leg beta that helps up top. Next time!

Fun route. Sneaked up this today on Troy’s gear which was awesome. This was pretty much the first route I tried on Taipan 20 odd years ago. Couldn’t do the dyno that time but got lucky this time!

Not too bad for 27 despite looking desperate.

Quite tough for the grade but well protected. Has a lovely move around the first bolt that feels like a gym move.

Thanks to Ben for leaving the gear in and giving me enough knowledge to sneak the flash!

P1 only

Blew the onsight early. Gear is plentiful and easy to place

Pre clipped bolt on lip with a stick. Good

Crux slab on pitch 2 is technical and easier for taller climbers. Great route

Lead as a single pitch. Lowered off anchors back to chain at end of p1 with rope to spare. 80m rope.

Small wires and cam useful to protect the first few moves off the ledge

One green cam and one yellow cam to supplement bolts

At least as good as Mr Joshua.

Flashed through crux section to join previously worked top half from You’re terminated

Very onsightable provided you don’t expect to do it after working projects all morning!

Great fun. Climbed with a small diversion towards Sirocco above second bolt to make a more balanced climb. This start would be good for Sirocco also.

Nice to tick this again after struggling to hold the crimps on Sheik Naja Ket.

The gear is perfectly fine on this route

Great fun adventure. Two ropes useful but not essential. Long draws essential. Cams up to size 2. The top pitch as described steps left after the final bolt but I’ve done it twice by staying right and going up the arête which is awesome (and cleaner) at the same grade.
