Ascents in Wye Valley by Gavin

There were some very interesting moves, marred by a confusing end

Very nice bridging. My guide has it at e2, but e1 is probably fairer.

Great line and consistently interesting

The mega classic for a reason, cool moves solid gear great position. Ukc might oversell it as one of the best vs in the country, but very worthwhile

A great line with some great movement, seperated by some choss and vegetation. I still think the crux is the one stopper move in the second pitch

Came back for the tick, chill this time

The start is spicy, but that doesn't really justify the grade

Came back to get it with crack gloves, those jams do hurt

In drizzle the first pitch was hell. Muddy, slippery and uninspiring. The second, however has lovely moves on solid rock, can be runout, but its all there.

Hard and often psychological. The climbing is nice and reasonably protected.

Followed this one. Really nice, equal difficulty to white feather, but maybe better protected.

Nice route, not an obvious line, but it all fits.

Follows obvious corner cracks. Could do with some cleaning, and there is actually less gear than you expect. Second pitch was lovely.

Unexpectedly nice sport climbing

Fantastic crux sequence takes some finding. The real climbing might be over quicker than you want, but it packs a punch in those meters. My first 7b.

Tricky little climb makes you think, worth a go.

Lovely climb that takes some thought but its all there. Gear is all bomber.

Some nice moves, but very sketchy gear didnt inspire confidence as a warmuo

Used this to get out instead of going back up the easy way. It was a ramble with loose rock. Simul climbed, felt like a sketch solo.

Not many cracks this sustained in the area. Wouldnt standup to the jamming in some places, but good for a fix.

Interesting for the grade

Nice route which requires some thinking at the crux

Great route, but so so polished. Made it hard with my rubbish footwork

Generic, but quite long and decent. Good warmup

So far the only climb here i thought was an actual 3*. well worth it.

a little contrived and less good than the E1, still quite nice

Pulled a lot of rock off this, and hurt my hands to boot. not a classic crack

nice few moves up the flowstone

Finale is almost great, but finishes before it gets started

Lovely route, some technical moves and nice movement, worth a shot

Easy start, the real climbing is only 3m long. But they are tough damn meters.

Not bad

average warm up

Nice and Chill line

Better and scarier than the other VSs. The hand traverse gets the blood flowing even if its within your grade
