등정들 Goats Meat Cave에서 Paul Frothy Thomson에 의한

2nd shot. Once again, the finale where it kicks back in the steepness is mega. For me to cut-loose after gaining the jug on the lip, I had to do the full "cliffhanger" one-handed wild body swing, which made me feel every bit Sly Stallone in his prime The lower half is a tad stop-start, but inoffensive overall.

I had a pretty cool onsight effort despite the lack of chalk, making the big move to the lip of the roof, but not where any jugs were Was great fun just committing and cranking.

Probably only 26, in reality.

The finale is brilliant, and way easier than it looks despite some rather outrageous steepness. Exciting on the onsight with no chalk on the top half of this.

Probably only 24?

Full disclosure: not a true onsight, as a I broke a wet jug off on the headwall before I could actually clip the anchor. But, whatever.

An awesome top half where it steepens considerably, and a tedious lower half. I found the loooong crux sequence on this quite hard at the grade (and totally pumped out on the warmup).

Some sections of cool 3D climbing, with a mingen crimp crux! The damp anchor clip wasn't too big a deal.

3rd shot. In todays wet and spoogy conditions, the arete-slapping and slimper cranking felt rather desperate. Essentially a 3 bolt arete boulder off a ledge, with some awesome (but easier) steepness at the top. Very Good, but with the caveat that the access "pitch" introduces an annoying degree of faff.

Sigh Not at this time of the day, I'm afraid. I was surprised by the mid-steepness crux, moved to a red-herring "arete" hold, and didn't have the energy to get back. Dubious rock, and rather "broken up", but quite long and adventurous. Bloody steep. The "rope redirect 'biner" makes it VERY easy to clean this thing.

Bloody hard at 22, might be 23. One harder move, but quite sustained and intense for a face climb. Similar to Budda and the Chocolate Box. If the rock was A-grade, this would be a classic, but I suspect it will be getting harder over time (also like Budda and the Chocolate Box ). Its all in the feet. Very enjoyable, even EOD.
