5.7 5.7 R | ★★★ Snake Dike - with Steve Phillpott | 550m | ★★★ Mega Classic | |||
Awesome climb! P1 & P3 quite interesting for those not used to slab, then some serious but easy runouts. Superb position, awesome views, great walking on the way out - a very big day, and something I'll always remember.

We got lost somewhere on this and turned it into a 5.8 instead, but good fun, and nice to get above the valley floor, great views

We toproped P1, and rapped after P4 - perfect way to do this climb. Great fun, well protected, great ledges, and interesting or challenging moves on most pitches

Awesome, great alpine adventure, easy climbing in spectacular position, with amazing views growing better with each pitch. Were a good number of people on the route, we eventually did a diversion around the Chimney section in order to get up & off before weather came in. Great climb.

5.7 | ★★ Zee Tree - with Steve Phillpott | 220m, 14 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Great fun, good intro to slab climbing multipitch in the area. Quite well protected by local standards, feels run out by mine. Did not do the last pitch as we rapped back down the Dike Route. Steve did most of the leading on this.

5.7 | ★★ Holdless Horror - with Steve Phillpott | 120m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Fantastic climb, well protected, much less intimidating that it initially appears. Long but beautiful walk off the back, start early if you want to do a few of these climbs.

5.7 | ★ Pop Bottle - with Steve Phillpott, Peter Monks | 130m, 1 | ★ Good | |||
Great fun. Pete led P1, I did P2, steve P3, fun was had by all. P1 definitely the meat of the climb, 1 hard move off the ledge on P2 and then cruising. Good intro to the wall

Awesome climb. Led all pitches, had a blast, overcame some fears, climbed well. Very steep and a little intimidating, but is always easier than it looks .

Really quite spicy for a 5.7, people new to granite may find it interesting, as I did. Excellent climbing with bolts where you need them most.

a little tricky low down, but protects well further up.

5.5 | Magic Mirror | ★ Good | ||||
An excellent climb, generally straightforward corner and face climbing but with a crux move that felt pretty stiff for 5.5. It is long, maybe 55m, so you will need 2 ropes to get off it. The belay is a bit of a horror - 3 bolts with rusting cold shuts, all spinners. I backed them up when lowering off my seconds, and rapped carefully - they were fine, but are crying out for replacement.
