Ascents in The Solarium

Awesome route. Balancy and technical climbing in the first pitch, perfect splitter in the 2nd (take a lot of 0.5). Killer third, with a flairing crack and a hard corner.

Brilliant position. Burly start and runout but great fun.

Retreat on p3.

The splitter is wild. Worth the hike just for it

Crack is amazing but was so greasy in the sun. Did the 10c variation off to the left for the final pitch.

Bizarre final pitch. Flare corner. Unique!

Nice new route best reached from the top of Sunblessed. 3 pitches With a lot of cool undercling traverse roofs, and big dyke features and a nice airy feeling. First pitch was a little dirty at the start (I think we may have been the first climbers on it this year)up a crack and dyke holds till under a roof, traverse it right thin finger holds, good feet, small gear (blue alien) then around to an airy belay. On up to another roof traverse this time with better hand holds but gritty feet then awsome climbing up juggy dyke holds and nice new bolts to a more comfy belay. The last pitch starts on another roof traverse this time from right to left up a short crack then a low angle face finish with good bolts. Worth doing after Sunblessed or Enlightened for sure.

Patrick did an alternative 5.11a start pitch. Second pitch (5.10c Trad) I lead and the third pitch Patrick lead.

The first pitch (5.10a) was bolted Second pitch (5.10b) trad

mere mortals finish....awsome

really fun climbing, though a bit grainy
