Ascents in Paynes Ford

Had a quick go since Jed put the draws on. Crux start leads into pretty easy climbing (no harder than 20), but sustained with no really good rests. Perfect for gym climbers, unless they don't like taking whippers! Great fall

Just the one shot at the end of the day. Really fun with distinct sections of climbing. The crimpy finish is a bit of a killer though.

Got me swearing a bit. Long, intricate crux up to 3rd bolt, then came off twice trying to get established on slab. Really good fun.

3rd shot. Not good a roofs, but was heaps of fun. Thought we were on 1080 at first, but by the time we figured out we weren't, it was a bit late, and 1080 didn't look as good anyway.

Cruxy move past the second(?) bolt

Fun, although we didn't do the cave at the end to top out. Slightly different climbing to most other stuff at Payne's

Took some big whips on this. It was fun

A midnight moonlight must do.

I loved this climb. It took a bit of working but I got it second attempt.

You have to try it! So so so cool and a lot of fun

I signed the book in the cave! This climb is an adventure, an experience worth having even if you have to hangdog it.

So good. If Skiing Off A Convex Slope gets 26 then surely this should too

Super scary 6th clip, lots of fun, great sustained line.

Exciting and thrilling to practice clipping with straight arms
