Great dyno!

An interesting looking feature that is fun to climb, even if it is a bit crumbley.

The very high starting gastons aren'too bad, but fighting the barn door is what makes it hard. Shoulder was feeling too tweaky to continue with attempts.

Crumbley, choosy, goodness.

Tweaked my shoulder on my first attempt, but still managed to get the send. Would be a lot easier for taller people.

Enjoyable, even with a tweaked shoulder. I just wish it had a few more moves.

Struggling to fit my fingers in the sharp slot, I keep cutting the back of my fingers when I try.

If you can't grab the insanely small micro crimp, don't even bother.

Great high slab, easy climbing.

About halfway through the crux, one or two more moves, and we should unlock the send.

Such a classic.

The big flake is extremely loose, feels like it could blow at any moment. A tree is growing in front of the problem, which makes it almost impossible to climb properly.

Terrible landing and hard to pad safely. I'm also too short to jump to the thin crimp from the designated starting position, searching for alternative beta.

Absolutely terrible sloper, and super reachy. Much better suited to taller climbers. Real good quality rock, though.

Great traverse with a not so great landing, but still manageable.

An okay variation.

Fun slabby arete.

Super enjoyable.

Super cool floaty dynamic move.

Simple and fun.

High holds make for a reachy start. Once you establish on the nasty crimp, the enjoyable dyno leads to juggy goodness.

Big highball with good holds throughout. More of a head-game than anything else.

Very thin feet on this one.

Tricky.

Beautiful V0 highball with a no-fall finish.

No-fall crack traverse.

Beta given by Steve Baskerville himself, great climb with a tough finish.

Great problem!

This problem really lives up to its name. No send for me today, but I was super stoked to support Adrian Corvino while he picked up his second V5 during his short visit. 😃

A great variation to "False Pretences" pointed out by Madoc. A great way to try out the finishing movers on "Schlappy"

A big thanks to Madoc for pointing out this climb because it's absolutely fantastic, it also has the best pocket hold I have ever felt.

Not sure what is funnier, the fact this climb even exists or that we couldn't climb it because it's ridiculously hard 🤣

Slappy goodness 😁

Enjoyable.

Close but no cookie today.

Great climb, good incut holds throughout.

Super fun dynamic problem, with a big move that requires full commitment.

Super enjoyable, good holds throughout.

Yes Sir, this one is finally in the bag! Super stoked about picking up the send, all my tactics were on point today and i was feeling strong. Super happy all the work I put in has payed off.

Running warm-up laps on this one now.

Super surprised at my progress today, made it halfway up the overhung face to the beginning of the high crux. I was super inspired watching Chris pick up the 3rd ascent, I can't wait to get back on this crazy piece of rock.

Mostly just dicking about and having a laugh, keen to give this a propper try at some point.

No send today, but I'm still making good progress and feeling confident I will send soon. Just not today unfortunately.

Good fun.

WTF? We just could not figure out this sit-start. Super gritty rock.

Super thin feet on this one, close to sending but missing some high holds at the moment.

Great climb movement on a beautiful arete and a high top-out requiring focus.

Came so close to sending, need to find a high hold to exit the mantle.

I can hang the Slopers no problem, but chose to work the easier version today until we figure everything out.
