An exercise in trusting you wont slip. A little run out but not dangerous. Was a scary lead for my partner. Done on top-rop to save on time.

Good slab climb. We used this to retreive our quick draw from a failed attempt on 'Trampling on Roses'.

Although the start of the climb was dry the end was so wet we had to retreat.

Crux before 2nd bolt took some courage, nice slab climbing though.

Felt weirdly easy, easier than Whisper anyhow. Possibly it was just top-rope induced courage (didn't fancy using the single piton at 12m to protect the whole climb).

19 | ★ Freedom - with Ashley Felton | 45m, 1 | ★ Good | ||||
I don't much like the concept of a 30m route with one rusty piton at 1/3 height as the only protection, but it turns out that toproping slab takes most of the fun out of it.

Setting a top rope for Freedom.

There are two bolts and the first is a little hidden quite tricky to locate. It's easy to clip prior to starting if you're tall After the 2 x CB the climb is a top-out.
Beta - Use a vertical side pull 30cms from the left wall to steady yourself as you drive with your feet.
Tall beta - Use your big reach to have your left hand on the far left of the column and your right hand to the far right of the column. Drive up, and work your hand up the sides to good holds on the top of the rock.
