Ascents as Flash as sport by Vanessa Wills

The moves were ok, but fall potential left me nervous. Quite hard.

Pretty crappy climbing up to a hard and interesting crux sequence. Harder than any move on influenza. Not sure it’s worth the effort, but it filled in the afternoon.

Much better than I was expecting

Contrived.

My taste has clearly changed. Did this 20 yrs ago and thought it average. It was the best route we did today.

Better than route to left

Felt a bit pumped for a route that wasn’t too steep.

Really nice climb in 3 parts

Felt stout as a warm up

Works ok as a warm up in the rain. Temps gone from about 24 C to 9 C max in Tennessee.

Lovely climb , several fully horizontal moves but extremely juggy.

Very traddy start and chicken heads galore.

Another great 10 b

Nice route, glad the crux draw was on I have to say.

Clearly been on too much steep stuff, this route made me whimper. Nice feature

Some thoughtful moves but not inspiring.

Was a nice climb, fun.

Not a bad hold on it. I dislike jump starts, but this one wasn’t too bad.

Two sit down rests and some nice airy climbing. Found it pretty easy.

Good warm up. Overchalked. Loose chalk should be banned. It’s really pissing me off. Ruins the friction of the holds.

10c in the guide. Quite nice and less polished/ overchalked than other routes

Nice arete, had to add a rock to starting cairn to reach starting holds!

Even get forearm pump on the slabs

Nice enough on its own, but really a link up of two routes

Nice and long, a pain to descend.

Interesting final moves made the route

Found it easier than the route to the right, the grades could be reversed.

Nice moves, would get very good if ledge not there

Someone had to clean it. Not great to lead or second, felt harder than 10a if you are short off the hands free ledge at 5th bolt. MP gives it 5.10c/d which is more realistic. Nice start but the bolting, rock and line after that aren’t great.

Tricky finish if you are short, but good

Back to granite slabbing. Ok, a little wet at the top only

Easy, then I think you are meant to use the arete, Ndseam but there’s an easier crack to the right so who knows?

Nice enough, had the jamming gloves on

A bit dirty, but very 3 d climbing, harder than 6a.

More nice pockets

Pocketssss, just lovely and the new shoes are feeling better

Bouldery start, not impressed by rock until up high. Great scenery though.

A bit dusty, hard final moves

More interesting than appearances suggest

I thought this was as hard as the 6c, nice varied route. Having the anchor draw on definitely helped

Lovely setting by the river and nice rock, and it was dry despite the ground running with water.

Nice varied route

The topos in the climb Norway book are hopeless, just random lines thrown onto the rough section of wall.

Doesn’t look like the direct start has been done for a few years, the first 2 bolts covered in vegetation. A little tricky at start, the rest is a straightforward corner

Much easier when we got on the right route.

Climbing in the Watagans has made me so used to sandbagged slabs that I really didn’t question that I wasn’t on the 6 a+ we thought we were doing (non updated digital Rockfax) despite a hard move involving a mono and some tenuous footers. Did clip anchors of 6 a+ on the way because they are in reach before going to this routes anchors above. A little too close to the route to the right at the last bolt.

A late start after yesterdays rain, and watching the game ( sigh) saw us alone here clipping bolts. Beautiful setting, great featured slabs, good bolts, fresh raspberries on the walk in and easy parking that didn’t leave us grappling with yet another app- what’s not to like

Doesn’t climb much like a dihedral, lovely wave pocketed rock, grade 18 at least

Grade 20. Stupid finish.

Is a 7- in guide but wasn’t too bad ( since I backed up piton with a preplaced long sling.

One long pitch. A bit discontinuous
