Thu 28th May 2020 - Llanberis Valley Area
Dinorwic Quarries Rainbow Slab
E2 5c ★★★ Pull My Daisy Trad 40m ★★★ Classic
Stiff little crux, then beautiful climbing. Gets E2 everywhere else - not E3.

  
E1 5b E1 5b ★★★ Bella lugosi is dead Trad 28m ★★ Very Good
Really nice sustained climbing and a great finish!

  
Sun 24th May 2020 - Llanberis Valley Area
Dinorwic Quarries Serengeti Never Never Land
E1 5a Snap Trad Don't Bother
Not sure this would have any meaningful gear even if I'd had any.

Pabbay, Mingulay, Sandray and Berneray Pabbay Big Bloc Sloc
E3 5c E3 5c ★★★ Lifeline - with Callum Trad 30m ★★★ Classic
E3 5c ★★★ Lifeline - with Callum Trad 30m ★★★ Classic
Rapped down for Callum to climb LSSL but it started raining on lead so he escaped up this.

  
Mon 19th Aug 2019 - Outer Hebrides
Pabbay, Mingulay, Sandray and Berneray Pabbay The Bay Area
E5 6a ★★★ The Hebridean Trad 30m ★★★ Mega Classic
Super varied sustained hard climbing. Got to climb the grade in multiple styles to get the clean tick - smeary funky crimpy dihedral, tech crimp slab traverse, steep pockets, bold...just awesome.

  
Sun 18th Aug 2019 - Outer Hebrides
Pabbay, Mingulay, Sandray and Berneray Pabbay Shag's Geo
E3 5c ★★★ Up Before the Beak - Shag who Spied Me Variant P2 (Up Before the Beak - Shag who Spied Me Variant) - with Callum
1 E1 5b 70m lead by Callum
2 E3 5c lead by Ian.Grabowski
Trad 70m ★★★ Mega Classic
Excellent route. P2 - O/S FA - Climbed direct/slightly right up cracks above belay , stepped left 2m at break, committing climbing up steep thin crack and into hanging v-groove. Left at capping roof and up broken ground to top.

  
E3 5c E3 5c ★★★ Shags with Attitude - with Callum Trad 70m ★★★ Classic
P1 - mega-classic - committing climbing straight off the hanging belay, 1m above the ocean. P2 - Good but not the same standard.

  
Thu 15th Aug 2019 - Outer Hebrides
Pabbay, Mingulay, Sandray and Berneray Pabbay Pink Wall
E5 6a E5 6a ★★★ Il Profundum Lacu - with Callum Trad 80m ★★★ Mega Classic
P1 - Fell off crux once with wrong foot placement. Had to exercise some advanced dogging to get two deeply walked cams out. A shame as spoilt the flow. P2 - O/S lead

  
Tue 13th Aug 2019 - Outer Hebrides
Pabbay, Mingulay, Sandray and Berneray Pabbay Pink Wall
E5 6a E5 6a ★★★ The Ancient Mariners - with Callum Trad 80m ★★★ Mega Classic

E3 E3 5b ★★★ Ocean Boulevard Trad 40m ★★★ Classic
1st shot on lead.

  
E5 6a ★★★ Wall of the Worlds - with Callum Trad 40m ★★★ Classic
Rested twice to get the gear out. some tricky moves for tech 6a I thought - sustained.

Sun 7th Jul 2019 - Swanage
Winspit Quarryman's Wall
7a ★★ Peppercorn Rate Sport 18m, 6 ★★ Very Good

Fri 5th Jul 2019 - Swanage
Boulder Ruckle
E3 ★★★ Ocean Boulevard - with Callum Trad 40m
HVS 5a ★ Jo - with Callum Trad 34m ★ Good

Fri 28th Jun 2019 - Llanberis Valley Area
Clogwyn Du'r Arddu The East Buttress
E4 6a E4 6a ★★★ Great Wall - with Matt Trad 60m ★★★ Mega Classic
P1 - 6a - O/S lead P2 - 5c - 1/2 TR, 1/2 O/S lead when my partner whipped and came back to the belay. I tied in to his ends of the rope and TRd to his highpoint and led on o/s from there. I also went a much harder thinner direct line from left edge of ledge after crux traverse direct up the pillar, missing the vs-grade traverse far right. Probably same grade once it's cleaned up but felt hard with all the grub on the rock.

  
E2 5b E2 5b ★★★ Jelly Roll - with Matt Trad 78m ★★★ Mega Classic
P1+2 linked - 2nd clean P3 - O/S lead

  
Thu 27th Jun 2019 - Llanberis Valley Area

Wed 26th Jun 2019 - Llanberis Valley Area
Llanberis Pass Dinas Cromlech
E5 6a E5 6a ★★★ True Grip - with Matt Trad 40m ★★★ Classic
1st E5 lead O/S outside of the quarries. Great and not too hard. No chalk on it so was a real exploratory journey up the left face. Sequency, technical, a tad pumpy searching for holds and getting gear right, bold. Just so good.

  
E1 5c ★★★ Cenotaph Corner - with Matt Trad 37m ★★★ Mega Classic
Fantastic and not easy.

  
Tue 25th Jun 2019 - Anglesey
Gogarth South Stack Yellow Wall
E3 5c E3 5c ★★★ The Moon - with Matt Trad 70m ★★★ Classic
Led crux P2. P3 not a giveaway either.

  
Tue 25th Jun 2019 - Anglesey
Gogarth South Stack Castell Helen
E1 5b E1 5b ★★ North west Passage - with Matt Trad 70m ★★★ Classic
Led crux. Rpt.

  
HVS 5a HVS 5a ★★ Blanco - with Matt Trad 60m ★★ Very Good
The 1st pitch is 3* mega classic but the 2nd pitch is a nothing pitch so only 2* from me.

  
Mon 24th Jun 2019 - Anglesey
Gogarth South Stack Castell Helen
E3 5c E3 5c ★★ Kalahari - with Ben Trad 65m ★★ Very Good

Fri 21st Jun 2019 - Llanberis Valley Area
Dinorwic Quarries Tyll Mawr Combat Rock Area
E3 5c E3 5c ★★★ Purple Haze Trad 25m ★★ Very Good
A bit sketchy almost all of the way. All gear in vibraty big flake you also use to climb and then the last 10m has no pro (but is thankfully only maybe Brit 4c/5a climbing). A fall would most likely be life changing from anywhere up there onto ledges.

  
E1 5b E1 5b ★★ Combat Rock Trad 20m ★ Good
Thu 13th Jun 2019 - Tremadog Area
Craig Bwlch y Moch Merlin Buttress

HVS E1 5b ★★ Leg Slip - with Tom Trad ★★ Very Good
Mon 23rd Jul 2018 - The Lizard
Bass Point
E3 5c E3 5c ★★★ The Cull Trad 40m
My first attempt I was caught in a heavy downpour at 2/3rds height and continued for the send but the green slimy lichen at the top turned too slippery for the send and I took a giant whipper! Exciting. Easy 2nd shot. Soft.

  
E4 5c E4 5c ★★ Dawn Trad 40m ★★ Very Good
Soft.

E1 5a E1 5a ★★★ Secretaries' Super Direct - with Mal Trad 50m ★★★ Classic
Led 2nd crux pitch. 6m runout off the belay through the crux with no gear and a slabby landing if you fluffed it. Extremely bold for E1 - more like bold E2.
