Ascents as Red point or Ground up red point as sport by Vanessa Wills

Rpt

The top is definitely harder than 15, could easily be 18

Rpt, the mantle at top was tenuous with only one hand

Rpt

Couldn’t clip anchors. Had to do an inverted kneebar second go- Dave just reached past and had no problem.

Rpt, changes every year

Rpt, warm up

Didn’t find this any harder than the 2 routes to the right ( though did a silly slip below crux).

Rpt. The little pockets were very slimy today. 2 laps.

Rpt. Nice flash by Flynn for his Duke of Ed

Rpt

Rpt. Very dirty

Rpt. Still feels hard for grade, height dependent for sure

Rpt

Hopefully the predicted rain will settle the dust. Really great and varied moves and steeper than it looks. One go on TR to brush the holds then sent with a bit of power grunting and wobbling before we had to leave.

Rpt. Quite a tricky one

Rpt. I keep thinking a clean up of this route is needed. Nice traddish climbing on bolts, a couple of finger size cams can also be used.

Rpt, needed a bit of a brush. Left hand crack glove/ tape useful for me. Unfortunately I had brought 2 right hand gloves ( duh!)

Rpt. The moves on this route are great, if only it remained a bit cleaner. Rock improves a lot after 8 m. Calf pump! The vegetation up high doesn’t interfere with route.

I think we did this as a TR problem in the past. Awkward but interesting start

Rpt

Rpt. Shares a lot of holds with route to right

Rpt, alzheimers os, the slimpers felt pretty slimy today

Rpt. A bit sandy, gave it a brush.

Rpt. Unfortunately now crossed by another route.

Rpt.

Rpt

Rpt

The usual warm up in light rain

Rpt. Some worthwhile committing moves on this off poor holds. Climbs completely independent of route to left to same anchors

Rpt. The first bolt position is not in a good location for this route, it works better for Gastric. Hard start for grade.

Rpt, lovely shady and breezy conditions after midday

Ate away my finger skin going direct on the crux. Mc Dougalled a bit in the end as I could hold the sloper and get feet up well with a half pad undercling but couldn’t reach the good hold

Rpt

Rpt. Slopers.

Rpt, another bouldery number, probably my favourite route, had to brush sand out of all the incuts

Very bouldery start, took me quite a few attempts to get as hard to work due to bolt being way behind you. Above easier climbing, though second roof fun. Two main attempts

Felt Australian 23. Very cruxy, Had to work hard second go, the steep crimp section is quite full on

Misread the dihedral bit and had to reconsider. Rest straightforward.

Felt the need to get back and redpoint this before we leave. Found the redpoint crux up high first go and refined beta before getting it second go. We also took a few finger sized nuts and cams and made use of them. Kamikaze ladybugs everywhere at the top of the routes today.

Needs to brush the slopers at the start a fair bit, very greasy and overchalked. Few goes to first bolt, went to top, clean second main attempt. Love the kneebars.

Tried Daves way first go, and too reachy, but would have come off subsequent move anyway. Really nice climb, liked the sting in the tail.

Came back to do it, gave up my static beta and jumped after the crux traverse as it seemed more certain. Onsighted from 3rd bolt to end

Nice climb, 4 distinct sections with hands free rests. 11c on Mountain project and in guide book.

Some nice moves but so caked in chalk it was unpleasant, especially the final moves above the last bolt.
