Blew the flash burn. 2nd go

Short boulder problem on jugs

Blew the onsight.

Preplaced gear, 2 fiddly microwires on a 15m route is bloody bold.

Proud of this send! Pretty bloody dangerous route even with the gear in. We happened to be in the area and the strong boys wanted to sesh it, so we had a few more burns. Got a bucket full of beta and a day to wait for perfect condi's. Actually felt easy in the end, was much more relaxed having had another day on it.

Really cool climbing. Big moves on positive flakes. Climbed it on my mate Will's gear after he took a huge whipper from the top. Gear generally seems fairly safe. My first E5 lead!

Fun quick route

Pulled rope after a mate led. Awesome route! Bit of a showcase

Only had 2 pieces in friable rock. The arete has some nice moves.

V steep, crux was beautiful!

sent on 3rd attempt. stunning climb. underrated at 2 stars in my opinion.

Climbed on Jengas gear. Threw away the flash in the first few metres of climbing due to a lack of commitment, lowered to the ground and then climbed clean to the top. The first few moves are tricky and committing feet-free thinness with potentially a bad fall factor. After that it is much easier though still quite technical, a real classic.

Second shot on my on preplaced gear from my onsight attempt. Blew the onsight near the top on the final crux. Two distinct committing, run-out cruxes surrounded by good climbing and gear. The final moves are quite gripping.

Yay, ticked something at Dumbarton Rock (directly below Requiem/Rhapsody!). Challenging technical slab that is a lot harder than it looks on frictionless, slopey holds that all seem to be facing the wrong direction. I got this fourth shot. Would have loved to do some other routes here, but with the weather closing in, we had to call it a day.

'Bombers' gear just below half height, choose your belayer wisely.

Lead with pre-placed gear (and a top-rope, just in case!)

With no backup top-rope this time...

In true Euro style......
