★★★ Contented Cows/Hotel Cali link-up
1
Linked P1 into P2 but with 60metre ropes, didn't manage to get to the belay. Would prefer belaying from the tree at the base of the P2 wall
2
3
Quite tricky slabbing. Then a small boulder problem to get my old body up over the cave
4
5
Super nice pitch on good holds
6
Quite pumpy due to the pitch length

Nice consistent grade 17. A few tiny cruxes but closely spaced bolts made it feel cruisy. Bring both 45 and 90 degree bolt plates because some carrots only take one or the other.
Main wall is North facing but start is up a few metres with a single bolt facing East. P1 belay is also a single U-bolt |

Committing with freezing fingers. Good slabbing until the middle of P2. Partner went left through crimps, I went right to reachy holds. Bolt was reachily in the middle of these options. Would probably rap from top of P2 as P3 is short and the abseil of LHC was a tough rope pull

Awesome climbing. Piglet 1 was very consistent and long - no real cruxy sections. Piglet 2 had a brief crux at the third bolt. Piglet 3 was enjoyable, easy climbing on good holds. Piglet 4 was easy enough to do in approach shoes. Three hours back to the car and the route was all in shade on a summer morning
