Ascents in Feather Wall as various tick types by Donald Gibson

Stayed left of the arete when pulling over the main roof. This adds a grade (or two?).

One harder move to get over the roof into the corner. Good bridging rest options all the way. Can also be climbed eliminating the corner and left wall, adding a couple of grades.

An easy start to get to the large ledge leads to a crimpy move over the roof onto the upper slab. This increases in difficulty as it passes the final two bolts with enjoyable, balancy moves to reach the better holds approaching the anchors. Great climb.

Another climb with a tough start to get to the large ledge. Again, easier when you get onto the upper slab.

A tough move for the grade to reach the large ledge. Easier in the upper section.

The first horizontal break was damp which made it a little awkward. Pulling over the first small roof direct in line with the crack is also powerful.

Tricky for 17 as it was wet and a bit dirty. Easier once past the large ledge.

Fun bridging.

The start to the ledge is hard but it’s cruisey after that.

Wet start made it harder

Thin towards the top makes for a couple of balancy moves. Lovely climbing. Best on this wall.

Always difficult to start. Ok after the overlap.

Awkward mantle to reach the ledge, then easy over the roof and upper wall.

Night time ascent by head torch

First outdoor climb after shoulder surgery. Felt good to be back on rock again

Lower section was wet but we avoided the wet holds. Nice bridging in the upper section

A strenuous move to get established over the first roof then a little confusing as to where to go for the start of the upper arete. We chose to starting up the right side, then immediately moving onto the arete proper

Pleasant romp up short wall then easy slab. I moved a small tree that had fallen across the middle of the climb and which was blocking access to the ledge near the start.
