20 | ★ Super Blonde — 2 attempts | 12m | ★★ Very Good | ||||
This is an AWESOME climb!!! I top roped it and it felt committing and pumpy then went for the lead send and it went! The start is so cool and quite burley but with good holds and after the 3rd clip feels quite desperate being pushed out but it was an epic climb so much fun

Cool holds. The pump really gets you just as it gets crimpy

22 | ★★ Electricorp Production — 2 attempts | 17m, 5 | ★★★ Classic | ||||
Great endurance climb. I pumped out and messed up the cruxy moves near the top. I think it'd go though

Nice juggy climb even though it's dirty

21 | ★ The Fat Fight Back | ★★ Very Good | |||||
I fell at the last move to the anchor! A pity it's so dirty at the bottom, as it has very interesting features and moves. Maduro got stuck not knowing where to go at the top. Turns out you can stay right at the tufa, get an undercling on the tufa and get to a good edge by the last bolt

Got it all worked out, but proved to be a bit too juiced for the send. One to come back for!
|

25 | ★★★ Feeling Lucky Punk? — 2 attempts | 15m, 3 | ★★★ Classic | ||||
Second go of the trip, fifth overall. Felt cruisy on the send, but it’s a pretty intense little number that’s basically my anti style.
|
|||||||
25 | ★★★ Super Arette — 2 attempts | ★★★ Classic | |||||
Got the proper Dave’s Arête experience, punting from the finishing hold on the flash attempt and taking the whinger. Went down easily second go once I knew where the holds were.

25 Hard | ★★★ Feeling Lucky Punk? | 15m, 3 | ★★★ Classic | ||||
Really cool climbing on mostly small (occasionally painful) holds. Figured out all the moves but linking them will be tricky - no real rests to speak of! Maybe a long term project.

23 Easy | ★★ Red-Lining To The Max | 13m, 3 | ★★★ Classic | ||||
Made it to the top eventually with a lot of faffing trying to figure out moves. Very technical but powerful moves. I go left between 1st and 2nd bolt, hopefully not off route

The bottom moves and the crux past the first bolt felt hard and and greasy. Not happening at all

Great climb with lots of stemming and jamming. A bit scary with committing moves to the 3rd bolt

Crikey, so many slopers! Will need to catch this one in cooler conditions.

Gave it another crack today and barely missed catching the crux sloper. I like this one a lot but my fingers disagree.

Came about one move away from the flash but couldn’t figure out the sequence at the top. Gave it another lash but by then I was cooked.

Didn't particularly enjoy this one, but I can see how it could be enjoyed by some, haha! Bit of an adventure, pretty powerful and tricky start, eases a little in the middle. Then, the top almost felt impossible for me, pretty bare at the top!

24 | ★★ Amino-Pro — 4 attempts - with Megan Ellis | 25m, 8 | ★ Good | ||||
Tried the start many times before I realised that there were other holds available. Then went to top and fell off that bit. Should have climbed it once to work the whole route and then had one send attempt.

Surprisingly popular, the whole wall is great but the other routes somehow don't get the same attention

Really impressed that I manage to complete all the moves in isolation, but definitely couldn't link them. Had to deadpoint a few moves, not sure I'd have that kind of confidence on lead! Fun climb though, glad I gave it a go, didn't think I'd even get to the top dogging it.

25 Hard | ★★★ Feeling Lucky Punk? — 3 attempts - with Megan Ellis, Kyle Johnson | 15m, 3 | ★★★ Classic | ||||
Got all the moves but there is basically no rest. Struggle to link them and have enough beans left. Enjoyable first couple of attempts, very hot and bothered on last go. Should have called quits on first attempt and climbed some more achievable routes.
