Claiming 24 for my hand size! Tried a few times and felt super hard and painful. Really good though.
I actually must admit that with proper taping it can go at 22 indeed. It was mostly pain that stopped me from pulling harder. Also the tree for a TR anchor is like 7m away from the edge so bring heaps of rope or tape

Harder than it looks from the ground. Perhaps the moist interior of the crack made it feel a bit stiff, perhaps being belayed by my 9yo little girl made it feel even stiffer 😉. Good little crack, will be more enjoyable after few months of summer drought.

Came to train for Frog in a Froq and got thoroughly defrocked. But to paraphrase Bill Clinton's second most famous saying ("I smoked but I did not inhale"), in my defence "I sagged, but I did not haul", despite a dogfest more rancid than yesterday's recycled running thermal, rendered largely unnecessary by significant global warning since the last visit, and the amount of finger-busting calories expended. Even took off a shoe to try an old-school toe jam to no
avail, layed back weirdly off crimps, opposed locks, sagged a zillion times and finally technically crawled over the top. Froq!

Funny how climbing in a beanie, thermal, fleece and puffy when it's 6 degrees with a brisk breeze sets the mind on warmer things. Like hot buttered rum, and pint mugs of mulled wine before a roaring log fire. In the old Hartley schoolhouse, for example, the interior scene of which began to appear with remarkable clarity. In fact I could hear the exact tones of Peter Martland (who told me he could have purchased said building for a paltry sum in the 80s): "Stop freezing your arse off and come on down Leper, you old dog, all the usual suspects are here." And there there were, Crunch, Penney and Sebco, in various states of relaxation, with gravelly old Leonard singing "Who By Fire" in the background to accompany the progressive immolation of giant logs in the hearth. But no doubt had I arrived the old 'co would have been rendered comatose by an excess of the fruits of his amateur horticulture and substantial doses of Inner Circle OP rum, Penney aled on Sheaf Stout, and Crunch ridden home to the heartfires on his Ducati.

Unfortunately you end up in the pod. Only shares one hold at the top and the climbing is good and sustained. The crux is hard and the last bolt is weirdly placed, I'm guessing to keep it away from the crack.
