Ascents by Vanessa Wills having Distinct route

Second pitch was great.

Didn't know if I should leave this due to flu, but fortunately got the OS. Not as steep as it looks.

deserves a star

thanks for the lower offs TH.

a few interesting sections, well bolted

Did it in 2 pitches but it could be done as 1. Take some trad gear- its not fully bolted - oops.

Led both 1 and 2 together. Rap off maillons, 38 m to ground. Found 0.4 cams better than 0.5 on P2.

Nice mono at crux

Short, but exposed and nice crux move

Despite the name, it's not very stiff for the grade.

still a death route

nice face climbing

Good climbing. Managed to kick my wire Out of the roof but was committed by that stage

Borderline classic, if it stayed harder longer, but then it would go up a grade. Committing and pumpy for me. Used 2 ropes.

Ditto, though the one move had me on tip toes with an RP and a grey TCU behind me.

Nice crack. Tried the direct start but arm span makes the move to pockets physically impossible without dyno

Led P2, both pitches good value. Unfortunately didn't find the rap station and with rain starting we did a speed ascent of syrinx, kind of, traversing off right and back down Ali's before we got too wet

It wasnt as scary as I had expected. Just like crimping in the Blueys and great heel hook through the overlap

Pleasant, nice face climbing.

once I got going it was all over too quickly

too short

Eroded, and I stepped onto arete.

A bit escapable

Not a bad route to start the year on. Crack gloves rule. It all felt quite crux to me with the odd calf pumping rest

Memorable for the sparse gear on the top half

completely misread crux and nearly flamed out on the jugs

Was worried the sun would hit us, but instead it started to rain. A bit overhyped, and the only hard move was getting off the starting ledge without being able to reach the better holds. Then it was all over too quickly.

Would get about 5.9 on granite. Starts in corner and passes a bolt heading out to crack

Gret climbing, event the offwidth section was OK

Thought first 5 m the crux. Love green cam size hands. Great winters day.

great moves, engaged the brain

The big fella always told me to do it. Used more RPs on this than in the rest of my climbing career !

Technical and good gear

Good gear, spicy top

oops. Remember to take a cam or 2.

Good rock, but humidity and flies and inability to reach between horizontals led to a slight mcdougalling at the start. Felt really slippery.

So pumped due to cold and frozen hands.

Did this with a trail rope and double trad rack. Was trying to get into primal scream, but didn't quite work.

The crack in the middle is very nice. The start is a retro bolt of BGUTI, the finishing arête is tricky with no wear or chalk for clues

It’s a link up, but a good one that does the best bit of the crack and avoids the vegetation.

suffering calf pump from the dreaming. Led cruxes P 1,3

Still wet, but easily avoided. Easier than 21

a boulder problem

Interesting all the way. 3 stars.

Very nice, and cruisy after the crux

Would be 18 at Frog. Eats gear. Nice line.

I was to busy whimpering on slab traverse and run out arête with wind buffeting me to fall off

Yay! An arapilean like route. Placed gear

laced up by Kman

The starts not too bad with a good hand jam.

would be great if twice the length

Had seconded a decade ago, but couldn't recall anything. Goes up to classic on lead due to the scare factor. Our 60 m rope would have got down from anchors, but I used doubles

direct start hard, love the retrobolt

Mostly positive holds

Awkward diagonal start

The top half is nice

Buzzed by someone's drone. Late afternoon sun on the falls was beautiful

Will have to work my way up!

Macdougalled into birds nest apparently

Scary- had to climb on bundys wires.

hard start then funky move on prow
