攀登 in Europe as various tick types by Stephen Parker

Good to finally lead this.

One tricky move.

Onsight solo. Sweet climbing all the way. A bit polished in places though.

Reachy move but good gear all the way.

Hard start leading to some great corner climbing.

Pitch 1 was a combination of pink point flash and onsight as my partner failed to complete the pitch. P2 is great climbing although many don't bother with this pitch.

Great climbing with a few good rests between the hard sections. Long route for Grit.

Great hand jamming that ends all too soon.

A little polished but still enjoyable. Big gear is useful.

Good enought to solo.

Traverse is run out, but perhaps I traversed too high or low. My break had no gear in it.

Committing for the short.

Good climbing up the arete.

Top out not getting any easier.

Not getting any less committing...

Squeesed this route in between the clouds.

Tricky start leads to good climbing.

Interesting top out.

Long reach for a poor hold and then an exciting finish up a corner.

Sweet crack climbing

Classic route though a little wide at the top.

Onsight Solo. Blocky ramble up the cliff.

Sweet horizontal hand crack.

Corner crack, with a hard start.

Awsome splitter crack.

Onsight Solo.

Onsight Solo. So much harder than it looks. Graded a Severe in my old guide.

Did the direct start at VS, 5a.

Casual on second.

Onsight Solo. some exciting moves half way up.

Onsight Solo.

Onsight Solo. It was rated a Severe in my guide. Sure had a thinker move half way up though.

Wide crack. But there are face holds to climb on.

Onsight Solo. Wide start

Interesting start leads to great climbing.

Exciting move over the void... Casual on second...

Onsight Solo. Blocky ramble

Someone had to clean the gear.

Awkward moves onto the block and then through the overhang. Upper crack is good value though.

An exciting move, made a little harder for the short.

Good value face climbing.

Probably more enjoyable as a solo.

Onsight solo. A bit wide at the top.

Good gentle crack climbing.

A little easier when not on the sharp end.

Great crack to climb. Pity about the ledge at half height to sit on.

Talked up to being harder than it was. Soft tick really.

Good looking crack. Just too short.

Follows a nice crack.
