5.8 Hard L'Abeille Mixed trad 21m, 5 Very Good
Mostly on Simon's gear, though I did add one piece. Gear was good, and good stance for placing it, so could easily have place it myself.

5.8 Eggcellent Trad 22m Good
I'd have added a bolt to protect the start if it were my route, but it isn't my route, or my crag.

 
5.8 Bleeding Green Trad 19m Good
Like the other trad routes, would be nicer if cleaner. I did brush a bunch of lichen off on the way down -- looked more like a route after that.

We also used the first bolt of "Mad Tom" to protect the start.

5.6 Is The Tree On? Trad 25m
How to classify the tick type? Parts of the climb were on-sight, parts I'd climbed before. The climb as a whole -- never put it together.

I'd spotted the line a previous visit, but it wasn't something that I'd seen described. It is an obvious enough line that I assume it has been climbed before, though.

5.5 Another Brick in the Wall Mixed trad 20m, 1 Good
Decided to just lead it, rather than try on TR first, because it looked like it had good gearing and climbing from cleaning it. Went well, fun lead, protects fine.

Pretty easy going up the corner.

5.9 (unnamed 3) ((unname 3)) Mixed trad 25m, 4 Very Good
I have climbed a couple bits of this before -- mostly at the bottom -- but the rest was stuff I hadn't climbed.

I went into it thinking I was going up a sport route, with just 6 tri-cams (pink, two red, brown, blue, purple) in case it got a bit run-out, but was glad I had them when I found as I climbed it that it wasn't a sport climb. (Placed 3 of them.) Definitely a good climb. I thought Lavender harder, but Glauco thought this harder (he followed both) so calling it 5.9, too.

Antre du Dragon
5.9 La Griffon Mixed trad 25m, 3 Very Good
End of a longish day, and Phil backed off after clipping the 3rd bolt. I climbed up to there, pulled the crux at and past the 3rd bolt, then finished the gear section to the anchors. Not sure how to qualify the climb... not really an onsight, not really a red-point (as I hadn't climbed most of the climb before), mostly on lead, including the crux and gear section, but not entirely on lead. Ah well, call it a flash.

5.7 Les Acrobates de l'Espace Mixed trad 25m, 2 Good
Good climbing, but tends to be dirty. (Gets lots of water down it in the spring.)

 
Sat 18th Jun 2011 - Montagne d'Argent
La Petite Folie
5.4 Poussinet au Tambour Mixed trad 38m, 1 Average
A bit dirty, but otherwise nice climbing.
