攀登 in World as various tick types by Douglas Hockly

Really good, 4 x 23ish cruxes, a slopey bulge, a technical footsy traverse, a powerful iron cross, and a technical crank at the end. A great mirror image to Birdman.

I didn't think much of this - not great rock and not great climbing - but it does get you to the chains above Big Brother...

Great all the way.

Gear is ok if you look. Interesting.

Great - very sustained in first 2/3

Did this thinking it was a new route... damn you Hoskins!

Finished up Wurlitzer which is the obvious way to go and quite a good route. I remember the start not being that well protected

There's an 18ish move to get started which is not well protected, then the corner has a tricky section and the top is hard to get right and easy to get so, so pumped. Harder than most 21s.

Make sure to do the top pitch sometime, it's so steep for 18! Take big cams for it I think.

Distinctly easier if you are tall. Nice climbing. I wander R of the upper bolt too. Needs brackets.

A great looking line but the climbing's a bit graunchy - laybacking up a slab for the crux. The rest is pretty good, but Wasp is better - and harder!

Not awful, but wouldn't do it again. Was trying to do Aussie Drivers or the thing with the bolt R of Hot Coq

Not bad on TR, really hard to place the gear on lead. Greasy.

More than it looks!

Oh so greasy! I find this super hard, the climbing's good but so slick. At least you're unlikely to hurt your fingers...

A few good moves

Seem to do it differently every time. Always engaging

Polished, traversing crux - not the best 11 around to introduce people to climbing

In one pitch. Good, very thin at end.

Good, not that hard for 19, worth a star

A long runout to the bolt, serious.

Start is hard and balancy, then it's runout but easy, then reasonably protected the rest of the way

The climbing is good, not as offwidthy as it appears, but the position is really great. Worrying block/s at the start

A bouldery start, then it's a bit uninspiring crossing Scorpion, but the top bit is excellent

I don't get why people rave about this. The climbing is poor. The position is great but the second pitch of Kama Sutra is way better

Good, but does have a large worrying block

I think Chrispy led this by accident - it's a very bold lead, not sure if the gear would keep you off the ground. Impressive!

Gear on the top corner all feels a little iffy. Tiny cams help. Friends said they saw Peter Croft solo up and down this, and that it actually looked easier coming down.

Just odd. Easy some days and hard others

Decent access to blockbuster

TR'd it with a fall then led it placing the gear on another day. Hadn't really looked at the gear so it felt like a proper 'placing the gear' tick. While it has good history and a good line the climbing's not that much fun, worth one star but not two.

I led the second pitch about 2005 and thought it was well protected.. went back 2015 and jumped off a few times as there was a runout traverse and a mantle before gear. Backed off as if you fell off the mantle you'd hit your belayer/the ledge.???

Unprotected bouldery start which is the crux, then wanders L and R with average gear and average rock - nice position though.

Rusty bolt, fragile rock, dodgy gear, don't bother.

A great first 8m or so, then just jump off and lower off the ring. Really cool. All big holds so good for the fingers. The second and third bolts are a bit hard to clip and you'd be hitting the ground so I'll try to remember to do this on doubles in the future. Pretty solid for 24.

Pumpy placing the gear... and doing the finish. Steeper than it looks

Not three stars! Good but not great.

Great apart from the hollow blocks. My favourite of the Bard buttress routes

Tried to do this but it's loose and so contrived it's hard to work out where it goes - let alone where it gets a star from

A bit greasy but good.

Tough from what I remember

Not the greatest rock/gear/climbing but worth doing once.

Backed off this 10 years ago before the bolt was placed, and fell off it even with it! Really good rock and climbing, take a good number of small wires. Felt hard for the grade to me but Adam seemed to find a better sequence.

Bit of a shock even if you're expecting 15. I could easily believe 18 for the start. Lookout.

Yep not much gear up top

Very interesting

Harder than it looks!
