Ascents in World by Alex Rogers

Awesome climb! P1 & P3 quite interesting for those not used to slab, then some serious but easy runouts. Superb position, awesome views, great walking on the way out - a very big day, and something I'll always remember.

We got lost somewhere on this and turned it into a 5.8 instead, but good fun, and nice to get above the valley floor, great views

We toproped P1, and rapped after P4 - perfect way to do this climb. Great fun, well protected, great ledges, and interesting or challenging moves on most pitches

Awesome, great alpine adventure, easy climbing in spectacular position, with amazing views growing better with each pitch. Were a good number of people on the route, we eventually did a diversion around the Chimney section in order to get up & off before weather came in. Great climb.

Great fun, good intro to slab climbing multipitch in the area. Quite well protected by local standards, feels run out by mine. Did not do the last pitch as we rapped back down the Dike Route. Steve did most of the leading on this.

Fantastic climb, well protected, much less intimidating that it initially appears. Long but beautiful walk off the back, start early if you want to do a few of these climbs.

Great fun. Pete led P1, I did P2, steve P3, fun was had by all. P1 definitely the meat of the climb, 1 hard move off the ledge on P2 and then cruising. Good intro to the wall

Awesome climb. Led all pitches, had a blast, overcame some fears, climbed well. Very steep and a little intimidating, but is always easier than it looks .

Really quite spicy for a 5.7, people new to granite may find it interesting, as I did. Excellent climbing with bolts where you need them most.

Good intro climb for the area

More of a slab than arete, it has some delicate moves for the grade. Very good.

Good climb - quite thought provoking. Wimped out and took a hang at the top before committing to the (surprisingly easy) final move

Nice slabbing, felt a bit tenuous in places

A nice warmup

Good fun, easy warmup

One tricky move then fun cruise up the arete

Nice climb, particularly the steeper headwall

Great day out on a cool but clear winters day. Never got above 7 degrees, but we were sheltered from the wind and had a great cruisy climb over about 3.5 hours

Followed P1, Led P2. Fun slabbing, P1 quality is great but pro is scarce, P2 has gear where you need it but the rock a little crustier.

Led p1, Steve led P2. Nice climb, but would have been better in the afternoon sun - in the shade all morning in winter, and we got pretty cold!

Led P1 only - great fun, with spaced bolts making it safe but still a bit interesting

Have wanted to do this for a while, but always too wet. this time in perfect condition, great laybacking up the flake & well protected.

Top roped the first pitch, and led P2 & 3. P1 quite friable and mossy, with first bolt at 20m - be careful. Managed to fall off P2, but took more care on 2nd try. Again be careful, protection above the overlap is a marginal wire then a long runout on increasingly easy ground.

Steve led P1 and I led P2 this time, good fun and surprisingly well protected.

Led pitch 3, Steve led 1/2 and 4. Then also led P4 as final pitch of Eagle Eye Direct

Probably cheated the lower section by using the slab to the right for feet up to the (high) first bolt.

Slabby fun down low

Had two shots at this - first time messed up the exit sequence, hung, and then got it right. Pulled ropes and led it clean.

Fun warmup

Nice easy warmup on a cold day

An okay warmup

Very good, keeps coming at you with 3 distinct crux sections. Got up it, but haven't strung it all together. Had two shots at it, but was the last climb of the day & ran out of fingertips.

Would be quite a necky lead, the start is hard and the traverse delicate

Following Steve's lead

TR of first pitch only - good fun, next time I'll lead it

Fun lead, one tough move but well protected

Fun warmup. Might have wandered too far left, but all similar grade in this area. seems to be a new leftmost climb starting up overhung arete.

Another nice warmup, well protected fun

Steep and juggy fun

More steep juggy fun

Really enjoyed this. Now a safe sport climb, no gear needed

Getting late in the day, one fall when I messed up the sequence on tricky top headwall

Fantastic, steep and reachy through little overhangs, very juggy, just commit and go. My favourite of the day

Good fun, wasn't sure I could do this but felt pretty easy, great jugs and heel hooks (leg hooks!)

Sweet arete fondling

Tried the direct start a few times, then got up by the regular start, but totally dogged it. Need to think about feet more

Steep juggy fun

Warmup - good fun once you get over the committing start

Tough start (felt harder than The Whorl) leads to easy climbing

Fun, took a fall but then worked out feet and got it, can do this clean next time.

Quite hard start then easier as you go up

Good fun, tough start, great hand traverse, runout but easy steep finish. Great variety for its grade

Good thin slabbing, tough start then quite sustained at about 16 to the top
