Begehungen in Canyon Buttress

10 metres or so of perfect secure jamming on this had me tying strat back in for another lap!

Great but so short!

Inspires hand jam confidance

off finger twin cracks, steep and sustained, hard start, some loose flakey rock, some small face holds but mainly insecure finger locks. Pretty dam tough for the 19 it gets in the book

Another underrated Classic, good Ben practice, found top 2m of crack tricky, should have had a go at lead but ran out of time.

Excellent hand crack, very good practice for the Ben, underrated climb IMO, take 3x#3 + 1x#5 for the top or #4 will just make it. Must do climb, if you don't like it it's cos you are crap at jamming

Interesting crack climbing, a positive hand then a couple of fist jams as the crack continues to widen which forces bridging to the top. Can reach deep into the off fist crack for a few welcome holds. Would be a good lead with a rack of cams 1x#3, 2x#4, 1x#5 and a few small wires and cams upto around 0.75 for the thin crack on the right of the offwidth if needed.

Really nice but was feeling a bit tuckered out after the previous climbs. My fitness is abysmal. I notice this one gets 20 on thesarvo...probably a bit generous, but its a solid 18.

A great looking line, but fairly awkward climbing that isn't as nice as it looks. Fun for the novelty of it though.

Sweet hand crack. I didn't bring the big gear, so I stepped right and finished up the thin crack instead of the offwidth, which might have made it easier.

Packs quite a punch for a short route. Almost like a mini Short Order at Frog.

Great climbing. Wider (and harder) than it looks at the top. Two #4s wouldn't go astray.

mmm, hand jams.

mmmm, more hand jams, a bit wider than bischoff and wing's....

With neets. Awesome, very sustained.

With neets, good climbing, bit dirty

With neets, rattly hands

quality of rock was pretty unsettling.

crap

sth sister is crap
