Should be considered a classic now that it has an extra bolt—so you don't need the gear. It is still an engaging climb and after the obligatory damp Plateau slab at the bottom the climbing is excellent.

Retroflash. Tricky stemming at the start leads to an awkward tight groove. But engaging throughout.

I'd never done this before, after the nasty start it is pretty good, especially the top wall.

Retroflash. Kind of trash.

Retroflash. A thought-provoking bulge.

Retroflash. One of the very best. Use a 70m rope and do it as one pitch.

Retroflash. Good gear.

Retroflash. What a stonking line.

Retroflash. Calf pump doom.

Retroflash. Fantastic route, don't let the gear put you off, placements are straightforward and the climbing is easy on that section.

Retroflash, seemed less desperate than I remember.

Retroflash. Great pocket route.

didn't really enjoy the first pitch, but the last two were really nice

simul climbed up it in 10 minutes and 11 seconds

so close, just dropped the last move to the jug on the redpoint, ill be back

crazy moves on tiny holds

p1 was a bit hard and scary, but the rest of it was absolutelty incredible

Figured out all the moves, ready for red point goes next time.

Made some moves up to 2nd bold, but I do not comprehend how to get to the good left hand above bolt 2 - something to come back to!

Super fun, and nice to do it quickly. A brief moment of insanity had me come off my ATC before clipping in to safety when abseiling, hopefully not something I'll repeat again. Kiera had a nice strong WTF reaction which subsequently lead me to safety.

Ambiguous line. Might have gone off route. 2nd preclipped as per guidebook's recommendation.

Fun trying all the moves.

First full session, stick clipped up and can do all the moves.

Accessed via rapping from Jugzilla, I have no regrets and it was fun! If a bit dirty. Plenty of foliage thriving in the crack.

The start was dusty and I hated it, the rest of it was great, offering wonderful access to the second pitch of Thundergod as well.

Went down quite quickly, nice how quickly the insecure moves at the crux felt more and more solid.

Very nice, I am glad we did it before the sun had set.

Easier to climb at night. Can't be scared of footholds you can't see.

Good fun! My ability to judge what can stem and what can't is truly non-existent.

Scary stuff, very happy to yard on the fingerlocks when they came up.

I have soap for feet

With tree aid

flowy climb. Cool view of the lake at the 2nd pitch after a juggy and long first pitch.

Cool varied climbing, beautiful view over the lake.

Lots of good jamming - foot jams, hand jams, leg jams arm jams. You also don’t have to climb it like a crack, lots of jugs on the side of the crack

got stuck on the triangle hold part
