攀登 in Crown Buttress

Infuriating overhang all right. Could not figure out the crux, maybe if the area was cleaned of lichen it might become more apparent?

Tips of fingers and toes burnt out.by this point. Seemed a lot harder then 20, probably needs the cleaning.

tr dog. took a few attempts to get thhe move - will lead next time,

chalk on it - will lead next time

Failed to do the crux despite many attempts, lol. Slabs.

Shoe testing session. I imagine this would be pretty gripping on lead.

Came looking for a hard slab project but shut down and had to aid thru perplexing definite non-slab crux. Several bomber small-med cams in lower crack, bolts at and beyond crux, then two 20ft leadouts up grade 10-12 lichen slab between rusty carrots. Definitely happy days.

Three grade 21 cruxes at each of 3 lower bolts, much harder than 'Bad to the Bone'. Upper low angle groove has places for probably offset RPs and one <10mm cam. Stick-clip lower FH at 5m or leave the whole thing to lichen. No wonder the punters are avoiding this in droves.

Dunno how Andrew did it but dogged thru the crux in the manner Jeff indicated, which seemed quite unsatisfactory

Could not crack the start so came in from HdL and took a couple of rests at thr crux.

Quite damp and very mossy / lichenous on the bottom section. Much nicer rock further up, but the difficulty is done.

Bolts have been cut - but good pockets for cams low down

First trad lead... ran her out well and truly
