Ascents in Venus Wall as Onsight

Sore feet!

Nice arete

The initial bulge, as you click the first bolt, looks a lot steeper when you're below it than when you're looking up from the base of the route, but it goes well on good holds. The crux is, actually, near the top of the upper face. My hardest on-sight at Rumney so far, I didn't expect to get it clean when I set out to lead it.

Spent a bit of time figuring out the top section up, try, down, rest, repeat. Didn't end up clipping the last bolt, since it seemed to be in the middle of the crux for me, had basically passed it, and just clipped the anchors.

Thin, surprisingly technical for a couple moves.

I brought my rack, so wanted to use it for at least one climb. This, clearly, isn't climbed often -- the crack was full of leaves. It can take some surprisingly big pieces, too.
