This is more like 21-22.

FFA.

Good climbing, a little reachy, just how Douglas likes it.

Very short and bouldery at the start with no gear.

Probably better than the original

This is really quite good. Just toproped it, I think the gear would be quite tough to place on lead. Nice rock.

Desperate long moves that Douglas made look great and I couldn't do at all.

Good position and climbing, but again a lot of sketchy rock.

A bit wandery but ok I suppose. Some friable rock at start of roof.

Good rock, good climbing, gear actually ok, lip of roof was desperate slopers. Seems rather hard for 21.

Good climbing. Run out in middle.

one reachy move. rest of the route is easier than 23, not so much gear.

nice crack at start. run out in middle.

new meaning to micro route. might be 5m if generous. but the best protected route on the wall!

Don't warm up on this one! Poor gear which is hard to find and there's a reason there's a route called 'Lou's not 19' just right. Revisiting this I realise I got off route (into the route to the R) and the original goes L in the middle. Apparently the gear is still not great though.

Maybe 22? fun face climbing

Really good! A bit runout but not sure if this is compulsory. Nice thin crack and face.

Absolutely freezing. Was going to do 'Hamish' but couldn't feel my hands or toes.
