Ascents in Point Perpendicular by Trevor Kettlewell

Used all my pump getting the rope up. Did the moves. Screwed up the bottom ran out of steam. Also my belayer a bit distracted with the tide rushing in to try and wash the rope away.

Nice to get this at the end to complete the wall in a day. Between us we managed to pull three holds off various climbs today, belayers still need to step out of the falling debris zone. Fab wall though.

Geez, felt a lot harder than the neighbouring 19, & I don't think it was just because I did it second. Lots of hidden footholds initially - you can't see them looking down, & have to remember or tick them.

Managed to fall near the bottom so I could start again.

Thought I was home & hosed when this time I made it to the crux hold. But then there was another crux. I mean, who even does that?

Bummer - took a dead end instead of following the chalky hints - next time...

Easy access, lovely location, nice climbing - what's not to like?

Although these routes are still very fresh - plenty of loose stuff to rain on your belayer who'd be wise to take a couple of steps back from the wall, I did my bit to help, pulling off a fist sized hold near the bottom and a bowling ball sized one over the top of the anchor bolts.

Woah. You're not sport climbing any more, Dorothy. My intro to exposure and trad.
