Ascents of Tom Thumb as Lead

Rope got stuck on a ledge on first abseil. Walked across to belay and did pitch 5 and 6 only. Good to know this is possible without being stranded on the ledge

8hrs car to car this time with 3 people. 3.5hrs actual climbing

Extremely windy day. Brought static for first abseil to avoid pulling ropes and getting them stuck. Retreived the abseil rope at the end of the day. Led P1,2,3,4,6

A great outing with a bit of everything. Probably best done on a cool day with early start. Well protected with seemingly new bolts although still need gear to protect when starting off from some belays. Use twin/double ropes if you intend falling or swinging around as there are lots of edges. I love a good hex placement...

Led all pitches on a perfect sunny summers day (with Karen, Ev, Matt, Brendon & Phuong)

Led P2, P4, P6. Great day and perfect weather. Just needed to get an early start at 8am at the carpark, returning at 5pm (with Slava)

Another great day on this classic. Led all pitches, but accidentally linked P3 and P4. Just enough rope (60m) but quite tough rope drag. I thought winter would be a challenge with the shorter daylight, but it worked out perfectly. No wind (critical) and cloud cover which made for very pleasant climbing. Our timing with a party of 3 was as follows: 8:15 - 9:15 hike in 9:15 - 11:00 gear up and 3 abseils 11:00 - 2:30 climb up 2:30 - 3:00 late lunch and pack up 3:00 - 4:15 hike out. 8hrs car to car. The abseils soak up quite some time with all the flaking and rope tangling in trees (with Vanessa and Karen)

Fun day out, overall ok climbing. Can be climbed as runout sport if you're happy to belay off one carrot on the second pitch.

Nice day out on a sunny winters day. First move on P2 a bit stiff, otherwise easy fun. Hard to avoid rope drag, and super sharp ironstone edges shreddded the sheath of my skinny rope - bring your beefy old beater.

Great day out! fun climbing in a beautiful location
