A spectacular day out. And it will be the whole day. The dicey long traverse was a highlight.

Getting back to stiffer grades, slowly. This was a great confidence-booster today.
|

Fuzzbucky Wall | ||||||
19 | ★★ Inside Out - with Marc | 25m, 11 | ★★ Very Good | |||

Main Wall | ||||||
21 20 | ★ Psychopath - with Ashley Felton | 42m, 10 | ★ Good | |||
The first pitch is fairly straightforward, the second is a lot more challenging (hats off to Kym). Second carrot on the 2nd pitch (after the hanger) is in a butt-clenchingly high spot.

Hundred Acre Wood Sector | ||||||
18 | ★ TTFN - with Kym Campbell | 7m | ★ Good | |||
Tough first move, balancy second, slab to finish. Short but fun.

East Bay Rightside | ||||||
17 | ★ Hell's Bells and Mademoiselles - with Kym Campbell | 15m, 4 | ★ Good | |||
Stepping up onto the slab at the very finish is the most nerve-racking part!

18 | ★ Penthouse - with Kym Campbell | 28m, 7 | Average | |||
What's the opposite of sandbagged? An okay climb, but it's barely harder than AWA.
|
||||||
Wed 17th Dec 2014 - Mountain Quarry | ||||||
Main Wall | ||||||
22 | ★ Outrage - with Kym Campbell | 23m, 7 | ★ Good | |||
A good route, with one very nervy clip (the fourth) and a strenuous crux move straight after (took a couple of tries to work it out). The rest is straightforward.
|

Wed 10th Dec 2014 - Mountain Quarry | ||||||
The Black Bay | ||||||
22 | ★ Crazy Horse - with Kym Campbell | 16m, 4 | ★★ Very Good | |||
A variety of technical and balancy moves makes this a really satisfying one to tick off. Got the two overhang moves dialled tonight.

Skywalker Wall | ||||||
22 | ★★★ Urban Ethics - with Kym Campbell | 25m, 7 | ★★★ Classic | |||
A clean lead on a classic route, and a new personal best at that. In the sunshine. Life feels pretty good.

17 | ★ Morning Glory | 20m, 6 | ★ Good | |||
Deceptively easy at the start, the top third provides all of the excitement.

Not exactly a clean ascent, but I got up. Crimpy, technical, and highly entertaining. Classic.

Mull Up Buttress | ||||||
21 | ★★ Sylvia | 20m, 9 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Extremely strenuous and sustained climb; heck of a workout for the arms. Note there is a ledge you could play tennis on for a rest, half way.
|

Wed 13th Nov 2013 - Mountain Quarry | ||||||

21 | ★ Hustler | 22m, 8 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Very good climb. Some delicate footwork required to perch on thin crimps.

Mull Up Buttress | ||||||
20 | ★ Mortal Wombat | 20m, 7 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Nice, varied climb. Alternates between sketchy and safe. Would take a better climber than I to stay on the right for the whole route.

The Black Bay | ||||||
18 19 | ★ Turbodiesel Excavator | 16m, 5 | ★ Good | |||
Fun times. The last move feels a little dicey 'til you find the hidden hold!
|
||||||
Tue 5th Nov 2013 - Statham's Quarry | ||||||
Central Slab Area | ||||||
16 | ★ Mount Everest | 18m, 6 | ★ Good | |||
Woosed out a bit on the crux, the first go. It's easy once you know how. Trust your feet.
|
||||||
17 | ★ Twenty Easy Steps | 20m, 5 | Average | |||
Balance and poise required, rather than strength.
