Ascensioni in The Watchtower Faces come vari tipologie da Douglas Hockly

10 laps training in my Become Adam Demmert programme. Having the plastic surgery next week - so excited! Conditions a bit warm, had to climb shirtless by the end.

Good climbing with some dodgy rock (gave it a good kick on second though) and some moss and dirt at the top. Great onsight lead by Wendy!

Might be 23. Great climbing on big holds, easier and better protected than Amok!

Amazing. Incredible. My whole life as a climber has culminated in this. At least today it did.

This is good! Needs a brush but nice rock and moves.

Quite fun in bottom half, then very mossy and easier

Quite fun and a good lead onsight by Wend.

Felt hard even on tr.

Not as good as Hyperbola

Great climbing - a little runout at the top, which is the crux I guess.

Maybe 23?

Frightening! Scary and hard

Interesting and varied.

Tried to lead it but got all pumped and scared and put a TR on it. Good climbing, needs a chain. Gear is actually fine, I was just having a wussy day.

I remember it being good, but runout. Slick slabs are not my favourite.

A great lead on the top pitch by Edwin in about '91.

Good climbing but you have to do a lot of Watchtower Crack to get there, which is pretty horrible.

Not really a fan of the slick slab, one pitch quite runout too.

Good fun, started up Driftwood, two 60m pitches, take 70m rope!

Top roof is hard for 17.

Tried to lead it, backed off - gear ok on crux, then run out. Followed Ben up it.

Good climbing, but the rock is a bit suspect and so too the gear. Wouldn't do it again as it feels a bit risky.

The fun bit is a bit short

Pretty solid for the grade. Reachy.

I saw Moorhead/Muir '81 in the guide and prepared myself to be sandbagged - but it is fair for 23 and the gear is ok - just an exception to keep you on your toes. Crux is not as nice as the rest of the route.

Interesting, technical and insecure. Nicer now it has the bolt!

Rubbish

Excellent! Like Huey but with a hard bouldery start that's about 22

A bit short

Just the top flake. OK, not worth doing again.

Seemed hard, and wire seemed like it would be hard to place

You can go straight up - off a shallow midsize cam, or diagonally left to finish as for Hendrix (better and better protected).

All cams up to yellow - save a yellow for the last break on the overhanging wall.

Also a bit worrying up the top! Best done on a confident day.

Slippery and hard for the grade

Hard and pumpy and difficult to protect well at the start. #4 camalot helps.

Slick and hard!

Needs rebolting. The start is crimpy and not that great. It's a better route to do the start of Claw and join the traverse at about 4m. Gear is not totally bomber with a shallow cam pretty much all between you and the ground.

A little runout after the flake
