Nice lead. Plentiful and solid gear placements. May have done the traverse under the overhang a little high.

First E1 for me. Nice route. May have wandered astray on the second pitch. The guidebook entry was poorly described.

★★ Donkey's Ears

Mostly a VD with 2 short sections that give it the grade. These can probably be soloed up to and then climbed.

★★ Hedera Grooves

Very comfy and safe feeling route. Plenty of big ledges for rests. Crux is probably the start of the second pitch above the holly bush.

Crescendo
![]() | 62m | Borrowdale | Average | Sun 7th Apr 2013 | |||
Polished. Especially on the wall above the chockstone visible from the floor. Protection is also quite poor here. After a bit of scrambling about inbetween pitches the second pitch was a nice climb with some interesting moves and better protected.

★★★ Ardus
![]() | 42m | Borrowdale | ★★★ Mega Classic | Sun 10th Mar 2013 | |||
Done both with and without the direct finish. Direct is more upper body strength and less technical. Possibly why I perfered it? Great climb. Certainly worth doing. Protection is solid and easily avalible. Last time I climbed this I was belaying at the top in the hail.

★★★ Ardus Direct Finish

Nice alternative. Straight up from the obvious belay. Better protection I felt, might have to hang around to place it a bit.

★ Brown Crag Wall
![]() | 45m | Borrowdale | ★ Good | Sun 10th Mar 2013 | |||
Lots of zigzags in the route. We did it in 3 pitches but can probably be done in 2. Poor communication due to rocks shape on sections.

Yew Tree Climb

Led this in the pouring rain. Wet rock made it much more of a challenge than the grade would suggest. Im sure its much nicer climb in the sun.

Plug

Took a good 3m fall onto the slab and a 5m roll down it on the first attempt as I was too far to the right. After a little body repair I got back on and finished the route properly. Felt a little easy for an E1.
