Might be the most frustrating low-percentage move i've ever tried.

x3

Pretty damp conditions. Winter is definitely on its way

It can’t get any better for 12m of climbing surely! I somehow managed to do all the moves except for one at the top because i was fairly spent (but i’m fairly sure it won’t be that bad with a little energy). It probably contains the top 10 hardest moves I’ve ever done and all of them are funky and brilliant. Maybe one day in the distant future I could actually climb this climb?!

Another lap to warm up (cold fingers, debacle) and again after trying Mecca (pumped everything, debacle). On my second go I punted off the crux like an idiot and then went to the last bolt where i punted off again. Maybe if I’m stuck in the UK long enough i’ll actually manage to climb this.

Brilliant route, did all the moves bar the one crux throw that was off a horrifically wet hold. One to come back for. (x2)

Two goes, one warm up and one general flail. Good route but the fingers were freezing and i have approximately no endurance at the moment.

My first ever shot at a 26. 3.5 laps, with significant improvement each time, could go in another few shots. Final shot I had it down to 2 sections. Pumpy, technical, sequence, long and POLISHED. This is only my second time on limestone, and I found it intriguingly weird. A cool climb.

Rainy day shut down... This route is something else and would have been bolted very differently if if was in Oz but in keeping with the bold nature of the Peak District a lot of fun. First bolt is at the 6 metre mark and getting to the second is just as much fun. Long sustained and polished climbing with a tricky crux. I had it on the 6th shot but gave it away. Hopefully there will be time for a rematch.
