Ascents of It'll Never Fly

Not worth the effort of getting your gear back afterwards

couldn’t be bothered getting gear in for the arete. Had a mad whip doing the reach around.

Wanted to get onto HAGF but even struggled getting up this. The starting crimps are horrendous after the climb baked in the sun all day...

Will go easily enough. Sharp start, some big moves, and a step around the arete

Second go. A bit painful on the fingers and the arête is quite memorable

Proof positive that I still have a way to go to get back to where I was 20 years ago. 3rd shot - 1st putting gear on and fell on the final match before the arête, 2nd go fell going for the arête with a brain fart of not actually putting my foot out, and got it 3rd shot relatively easily. At least it went, thank f*&# !, but a fair degree of confidence lost (I thought I was climbing okay before this) ...

Had a rest at the 4th? draw so i didn't fall off the exciting move to the arete! Overshot the anchors and ended up at a single carrot with a hanger and a disconcerting faded sling. Oops!

Found some new beta for the start. Came back down and sent it easily next shot. Now time for 'Have a good flight'

Found the start nails hard. Couldn't work it out. Rest is great climbing with exciting moves gaining the arête.

Intersesting up on the arete!

Alzheimer's Flash

Interesting move onto the arete.

After reaching the arete I backjumped the route since i had no gear. more like 23

came of arete move 3 time's....

Had no desire to lead the arete past the cams, so settled for the top-rope.

not really a flash as i've done HAGF

As your getting to the arete, don't look back. In the rain with a wet arete, exciting!

a technical flash. Not as good as have a good flight.

First go today. 2nd shot overall. 20.12.03 :took a monster whip from the end of the trav.

First 24

Took a few goes but got there in the end...

Good fun but HAGF is the better route if you have the juice.

After numerous dogs, finally got it. Managed HAGF on TR with a rest (at the post-crux bolt!)
