Yep wet, would be nicer if you wore gloves. Good advice for next time

Lol... Thankfully got up this otherwise your spending the night.

Horrendous - don't bother

Repeat. Stunning steep pumper on immaculate rust-coloured holds that seem to appear right when you need them. I was climbing so fast I almost pumped-out and fell off.

Surely this is up there alongside other such classics as the Sweet Dreams Wire Traverse or the Bell Super Crag Descent Rungs as one of the best routes in the Bluies!!

Absolute mega classic. Hard for the grade....

Always a pleasure

How do rungs feel so pumpy? Felt way to hard for a ladder...

Have to appreciate the effort put into developing this place.

Got the drips

Repeat of this mega classic, once in a lifetime, uber duber special, world class, sort after test piece of climbing. Would do again.

Gotta tick the rungs

Stoked to get the onsight, absolutely great way to finish the day. Lucked out with the gloves beta, 10/10 would do again.

chalked and sussed the moves on rappel, then sent first shot from the ground. stoked!

Didn't bring gloves... should have

Best single pitch in the mountains? Maybe even the least manufactured…

Why not log it if you have to do it anyways... 😝

A bit brutal at the end of the day, but adds a nice bit of adventure to the cragging experience.

2nd go, good technical slab

Thin moves, mostly good edges though some small. Goovey moves, delicate footwork required.

I thought it was samnivel at first!

Exploratory lap. Thin as, bro... And bloody sharp at that. The "crystal crimp" crux hold is malevolent. The main crux involves a lot of moves on tiny edges, for a mere 5m of upward climbing. Totally doable in cooler temps and with skin on my fingers. Worthwhile, and a touch different for a Blueys slab and one to come back to for sure.

Did this 4 years ago, 2nd shot. Thought it was the 22, so it felt a bit hard on micro crimps

Some good falls. Need to work the feet a bit more through the upper crux

Some tiny holds and intricate footwork required. Wanders a bit.

Realllly quite hard but actually pretty awesome pure slabbing. Figured it all out and I think I could do it without too much effort, but oh boy is it insecure, and reachy. I also contrived myself quite hard to make sure I was having a full value slab experience. There is a spot or two (especially at the top) where the climbing becomes more escapable. Tried it twice on TR.

Much better with the new rings and lower anchor

1st pitch of Afghan Wall and 2nd Pitch of Atalntis

Tough and excellent.

with Micky B - A big day out!

a great OS by JJ. super techie climbing and hard at 23.

Walk is too far, Rock is fragile and mossy

hard on fingers but short

16??

the corner is now clean again

hard off the ledge. Led pitch 1 and 3 and 4

Too hot, too tired etc, but worth coming back for

LED with Ant, Mark 1980

pumpy

loose

classic line, pioneered (I use that term advisadley) by Dave and Dave!

First accent of crack right of Casablanca Slab and The Dalek arete. Slabby start to crack left of orange scoops thru roof to ring bolt belay on spacious ledge. Easier than it looks when you are in the bird cave.

Good Beginner roue

OK for this place

quite friable but a good chimney section

lower off chains at top now. There is really only 1 way to do Orthanc and that is direct.

Worked the moves to find the best place for the new rings

1/5/05 Bolt added down low and lower off chains at top now.

Broke hold, fell off at 2nd ring and landed on VW's head!
