Ascents in Ilkley as Tick

Polished and a bit baggy.

With Jon

Jon and Penny

With Penny.

Bloody classic mate.

Good gear.

Hard finger locking and flary.

A bit greenand slippy, was very windy, so we drove over to Chevin to do Chevin Buttress. Better, but still cold out of the wind. A turn in the weather.

Slightly damp, but very positive holds on the side of the flake. Stu seconded.

Still good after 100 years of ascents. Brian led middle pitch.

Had started to dry out by the time we got on it. Stu seconded.

Crux move near top.

How can a climb that looks like this only be VS. Holds appear just when you need them with bomber protection. Best yet at Ilkley for me.

Superb, well protected climbing.

Great climb, despite the drunken yobs at the top of the cliff shouting at climbers and mothers following their kids around the quarry wearing stilletto shoes!

Not as protected as the guidebook suggests.

Polished to glass, gets VS in some books

Did the direct start, seems harder than Severe. Good gear, gently overhanging.
