Ascents of Short Sharp Shock

nice easy short route. If I remember correctly all moves relatively easy /straight forward but big. climbed this to set up a top rope to work on Short Circuit.

Didn't trust my feet for the moves and rested in various places before being able to see the holds. Definitely needs a clean but I had nothing with me. Climbed it whilst it was getting pretty dark also

Easy untill the max span left hand crimp

Second go and my foot slipped after clipping the third bolt. This is meant to be the warm up Very muggy conditions not helping.

I can't remember the last time I needed three tries to send a 19

Warm up. I think this could have been quite a nice (short) route 30+ years ago. But the rock has flaked off quite a bit and it seems to have degraded the climbing somewhat. It also needed a lot of scrubbing to get rid of the lichen, so my onsight attempt turned into a cleaning session after the second bolt.

Yuck.
