Left Wall

This collection of high quality, but somewhat short, traditional climbs gives you a good excuse to dust off the trad rack and try and remember how to place your own protection for a change. Most routes have convenient bolt belays set back just beyond the top of the routes.

2 – Lean too VS 4b, 8m *
FA: Francis Haden, Ray Lee 08/03/2015

FA: Francis Haden, Ray Lee 08/03/2015

4 – Tuff Love E2 5c, 8m **
FA: Francis Haden, Donna Kwok 15/03/2015
The prominent overhanging groove is an exercise in placing gear whilst trying not to fall off! Force entry to the groove then battle your way to the top.

5 – Crab Walk HVS 5a, 8m
FA: Francis Haden, Ray Lee 08/03/2015
Start below a small corner. Awkward moves left gain entry to the corner above and flake line. A small cam protects the exit.

Great climbing, good gear and a challenging finish.

9 – Tuff Enough? E1 5b, 8m
FA: Francis Haden, Donna Kwok 22/03/2015
Start left of the mid height roof. Climb up into a small niche and arrange gear. Pull out on the right and follow a thin crack, with a testing exit. Sufficient gear exists however it is awkward to place on lead.

Looks sketchy and it is! Gear can be awkward to place.

14 – Ships That Pass All Day and Night HVS 5a, 8m
