Have had 2 or 3 days with 1-3 pull ons, last burn I managed to go to the top and went clean from the ground through the first crux, if I go back and can remember any beta it'd be nice to finish this off

Solid attempts, can get all the moves and could link them bar the crux. Went to do this without trying using the back wall, unsure if in but I doubt it.

Second time playing on the first couple bolts. Scares me a bit. Will have to keep my sights set on that lock! Cant wait for big send by angus smith, coming to a cinema or watchtower near you

Couldn't get a stable position to place the draw at bolt 4, will rap down next time and pre place gear which should help get the send.

I think this one needs an R-rating? The top face has almost no protection. Had to bail out right halfway through the top half as the gear was crap and the climbing was hard! Haha

Pink point all the way to the top, then couldn’t see the last holds - freaked out and grabbed the anchor at the belay. Probably won’t come back for this one, scars run deep.
