Amazing route!

Sick route. Only followed. It was my first proper multi pitch ice climb!

sablar vad bra

pumpig och skojig. Rep 10/7-15, bättre i år! Högkvalitativ boulder på perfekt sten. På gränsen till trestjärnig

Väldigt kul, speciellt sista hälften. Mycket smearande och avigheter. Den ackumulerade distansen klättrad det senaste året är antagligen på färre höjdmeter än distansen klättrad under denna enda dag... Inga häng i rep. Jag och Katta följde Calle. 7h totalt upp och ner.

ledde pitch 1,2 och 5. skoj och klurigt med snygga sprickor. första trad mp på led! med Calle och Michelle

2nd go. blöt dag...

12 pitches, huvudsakligen följandes Calle löpande. otroligt mäktigt. annorlunda från något jag gjort tidigare. ca 8h fram och tillbaka. tungt nedåt

Calles 7b samma kväll, namn?

pumpy traverse with a somewhat tricky topout

vass men fin

Good sequences following Dave

Not too bad despite the ledge. I climbed much higher than Dave did before moving to ledge trying to sort rope stuck in crack

Just lovely. The boulder start looks tricky to protect, maybe a wire on a stick. When we got there a woman was trying and did it on top rope and was in raptures which was great to see which convinced us to try. Took a couple of goes to sort short person starting beta, then hung on all the way up the crack.

Not a bad route but with the bolts gone not a leadable proposition on the slightly flaky and mossy rock

Nice enough, I was just over boulder hopping trying to follow Rockfax directions to find crags. Very cruxy and reachy. Second go.

Led P1, it is really nice once you get to the actual start. P2 has 2 vegetated ramps that detract, and difficult to create top belay, especially if you are on a 60 m rope. I had to simulclimb about 3 m to give Dave enough.

Led P2. P1 and 2 are really nice. P3 a bit average with some suspect rock.

A late start after yesterdays rain, and watching the game ( sigh) saw us alone here clipping bolts. Beautiful setting, great featured slabs, good bolts, fresh raspberries on the walk in and easy parking that didn’t leave us grappling with yet another app- what’s not to like

Climbing in the Watagans has made me so used to sandbagged slabs that I really didn’t question that I wasn’t on the 6 a+ we thought we were doing (non updated digital Rockfax) despite a hard move involving a mono and some tenuous footers. Did clip anchors of 6 a+ on the way because they are in reach before going to this routes anchors above. A little too close to the route to the right at the last bolt.

Much easier when we got on the right route.

Really nice climbing as well, with a very funky hold.

First of parties on the route, the down side it was the breeziest day we had encountered in the past 7 weeks. Had planned to lead in blocks of 4 to stay warm, but I was still shivering uncontrollably after 4 pitches which didn’t stop until we got to the sun on pitch 10. Great climb, lots of laybacking but with frictional feet not arduous. The descent takes some energy and down climbing too. I was sick of the back pack by the end of the day

A bit too much rope drag to do as one long pitch, stopped about 9 m below top. Nice climb

Another nice route with convenient rap chains. These routes had been always packed this past week, so we took the opportunity when vacant to do them

Last climb, no one waiting to descend, bouldery start into grade 12 jug haul.

Led P2 which was the crux. Missed a footer first time up. P3 has no real off width moves and was steep fun. The description and topo doesn’t make clear the down climb needed to get onto P3

Joined P1/P2 and descent (abseil) after P5.
