Ascents in Archway

had to rescue Gabe on the route beside

Second ascent. A great route by Iain and led the way for harder routes to follow. Iain was climbing like a dream in 88. It's a great route, with a solid bolt (at the time). I always felt it was 5c as I couldn't do 6a but maybe I could. Iain and I had a good debate about this.

A classic route, top end VS for sure. I can't remember the exact dates but this is roughly correct. I led it 4 or 5 times and each time found the crux move difficult, it never got easier. The bolt is very kind.

Great route, flashed it first time. Slightly easier than Iain's route next door, Hit and Run but just as good

Sketchy gear, very thin moves up to the roof, even more thin after. Go right immediately after the roof or it gets even more run out and desperate. I didn’t go right and it felt harder than E2 but what do I know. Bring a BD #2 cam for the pigeon hole and small/micronuts for everything else. Past the roof there's really no pro for the delicate moves up to the ledge and if you fall it's quite likely that you'll deck.

Don't bother trying to jam that crack, this ain't Indian Creek. Fun start.

Essentially unprotected for the interesting first 6m or so, be wary unless you're feeling both comfortable and bold.
