Ascents in Middle

Another lap to warm up (cold fingers, debacle) and again after trying Mecca (pumped everything, debacle). On my second go I punted off the crux like an idiot and then went to the last bolt where i punted off again. Maybe if I’m stuck in the UK long enough i’ll actually manage to climb this.

Brilliant route, did all the moves bar the one crux throw that was off a horrifically wet hold. One to come back for. (x2)

Two goes, one warm up and one general flail. Good route but the fingers were freezing and i have approximately no endurance at the moment.

Cool moves

A proper project for me! Sent 7th go. Tricky crux requiring tonnes of refinement.

Toprope ascent

My first ever shot at a 26. 3.5 laps, with significant improvement each time, could go in another few shots. Final shot I had it down to 2 sections. Pumpy, technical, sequence, long and POLISHED. This is only my second time on limestone, and I found it intriguingly weird. A cool climb.

Rainy day shut down... This route is something else and would have been bolted very differently if if was in Oz but in keeping with the bold nature of the Peak District a lot of fun. First bolt is at the 6 metre mark and getting to the second is just as much fun. Long sustained and polished climbing with a tricky crux. I had it on the 6th shot but gave it away. Hopefully there will be time for a rematch.
