(easy slab escape) | 25m | Lac Sam | Don't Bother | Sat 31st Oct 2020 | ||||
We ran out of light, and rather than lead/follow/follow three of us up Swiss-UK, we decided to haul our asses up the fixed rope.

I found pitch 2 difficult, or at least, difficult to read at 5.8. And hang-dog doesn't quite give the same as feel as "a couple lead falls on gear, including popping the top piece on one of the falls."

If dry, a decent climb. It was almost dry -- just a tiny bit of seepage at the bottom.
As of 08/2013 one of the bolts in the upper section is missing its hanger. |

Hard start, with an intimidating ledge fall if you don't make the 2nd clip -- I'd be inclined to suggest stick-clipping bolt 2.
Rest of the climb is mellow, with a touch of though needed near the end. |

5.10a | Garantie Prolongee | 30m, 6 | Montagne d'Argent | Don't Bother | Sat 9th Jul 2011 | |||
TR with "rest" and "one point of aid".
Mostly fairly easy climbing (5.8ish?), then a crux that I and 2 of my 3 climbing companions (who generally have no problem climbing 5.10a-b at MdA) had to pull on a draw to get through. (A 3rd, who stands about 6'4 was able to get the crux.) So, maybe for those with great reach it goes at 10a. |

Followed pitch 1, lead 2 & 3. I actually was intending to link 2 & 3 -- but I never found the anchor and the end of pitch 2, and after the fourth bolt on pitch 2, ran it out to the anchors at the end of pitch 3. Probably more than 30m run-out by the time I, very carefully, finished the pitch. Talking with others who had climbed it the day before, they ended up doing the same thing.

5.10a | ★★ Révélation | 6 | Panorama - Bowman | ★ Good | Sat 5th Nov 2022 | |||
One fall, around bolt 3, made a poor route-finding choice. Should be an easy red-point.
A pretty soft 5.10a. |

★★ Assurancetourix | 5 | Weir | ★★ Very Good | Sun 18th Aug 2013 | ||||
Flo lead it, I seconded. Technically, I rested on gear at one point, but that was to clean a cam that had been placed (or migrated?) far enough into the crack that the I could just touch the clip-in loop, and had to use my nut-tool to release the cams.
|

5.8 | ★★ Super Crackpot | 35m, 5 | Montagne d'Argent | ★ Good | Sat 24th Aug 2013 | |||

|

5.9 | ★★ Lavender | 25m, 5 | Eardley Escarpment | ★★ Very Good | Sat 14th Sep 2013 | |||
Hard climbing, but good. I took two falls, one after the 2nd bolt (first crux), then a 2nd right at the top, where everything got thin before it ceased to be steep. After a rest on the rope, I was able to pull both sections 2nd try, so I think I should be able to red-point this soon.
|
||||||||
5.9 | ★★ Lavender | 25m, 5 | Eardley Escarpment | ★★★ Mega Classic | Sat 28th Sep 2013 | |||
Finally got the lead clean. An awesome route, with 3 different crux points of different types and a lot of good climbing in between.
Pulled more directly over the initial overhang to the jugs, rather than traversing a long way right. |

5.9 | ★★ Lavender | 25m, 5 | Eardley Escarpment | ★★★ Mega Classic | Sat 12th Apr 2014 | |||
Spring, first day out, and I'm not back in lead shape -- got it clean right up until the last few moves, then couldn't quite pull that crimpy final crux, even with a few tries. I took a couple good falls trying, though. Then, I had to climb it all again to clean it -- less scary on top rope, of course.

|
||||||||
5.9 | ★★ Lavender | 25m, 5 | Eardley Escarpment | ★★★ Classic | Sun 22nd Apr 2018 | |||
If it were for the unsettling and unprotected opening moves, I think Lavender would be the best climb at Home Cliff.
Very few easy moves, lots of different challenges throughout, and several cruxes. Also, an important hold in the finishing crux has broken, making the finish harder than it was. |

While the main crack is pretty wide, there are enough other gear placements that leading this doesn't need wide gear if you're a confident trad leader. (I lead it on a rack of Tricams from small white to big green, with doubles below the blues. It was reasonably protected with that gear selection.)

5.6 | ★ Tigre des bois | 13m, 4 | Montagne d'Argent | ★ Good | Sat 27th Aug 2011 | |||
Tried leading it, but lead-head didn't hold for the thin-feeling moves after the 2nd bolt after placing my first gear. (Nut in the crack, not as deeply placed as I'd have liked.)
Went easily on top-rope, so I should be able to lead it. |
||||||||
5.9 | ★★ Rupert Bear Goes Hiking | 25m, 4 | Eardley Escarpment | ★★★ Classic | Fri 25th Nov 2011 | |||
Just a gorgeous route. The crux is the lower section, up to the ledge, then pulling through the overhang with the bolt. Easier climbing above that point.
|
||||||||
5.10b | ★★ Invitation Mixte | 22m, 4 | Montagne d'Argent | ★★ Very Good | Sun 17th Jun 2012 | |||
Fairly easy climbing before and after a solid 5.10b crux section of very thin moves, though quite doable on top-rope. On lead, I'd be worried that the only good holds are, also, the only good placements.
|

Didn't have gear, so climbed to the first bolt... quite high, but the moves are mostly solid.
Took one fall, just above the oval mini-cave, tired and didn't figure the move right, should be able to get it fine on another attempt. |

5.6 | ★★ Magical Mystery Tour | 4 | Eardley Escarpment | ★★ Very Good | Sat 6th Jul 2013 | |||
Surprisingly good climbing. The traverse crosses lots of other routes, so only climbable if nobody else is around -- but can borrow a lot of bolts from climbs it crosses.

5.10b | ★★ Invitation Mixte | 22m, 4 | Montagne d'Argent | ★★ Very Good | Sat 13th Jul 2013 | |||

5.9 | ★ (unnamed 3) ((unname 3)) | 25m, 4 | Eardley Escarpment | ★★ Very Good | Sat 14th Sep 2013 | |||
I have climbed a couple bits of this before -- mostly at the bottom -- but the rest was stuff I hadn't climbed.
I went into it thinking I was going up a sport route, with just 6 tri-cams (pink, two red, brown, blue, purple) in case it got a bit run-out, but was glad I had them when I found as I climbed it that it wasn't a sport climb. (Placed 3 of them.) Definitely a good climb. I thought Lavender harder, but Glauco thought this harder (he followed both) so calling it 5.9, too. |

Hard to label... re-climbing of the first pitch, but on-sight of the 2nd pitch... call it a red-point? Sure.
First pitch is a great mix of crack and face climbing, with a lot of interesting moves. Gear is a bit tricky lower down, then solid higher up. 2nd pitch starts ugly, but then good climbing -- mostly slab, rock-overs and mantles onto slipping ledges with less-than-solid hands or feet. Gear is mostly small, but generally there (suplemented by a few bolts) when needed. |
