Smalldale - The Main Wall
1. Reservoir Frogs (6c+) ** a fine long climb up slim side wall of buttress. REBOLTED 2. First Offense (6c+) ** the left arete of the wall gives an excellent sustained exercise. Surprisingly balancy. REBOLTED 3. When Reason Sleeps (7a+) ** hard start right of the arete then bold face directly above overlap. Fine. REBOLTED 4. Stainsby Girls (7a+) straight up from wide crack into awkward finishing groove. Tough. REBOLTED 5. Virtual Insanity (7b) ** superb fingery face leads onto flake and tricky finale. Very fine. REBOLTED 6. Soft Centre (7a+) ** the central shallow groove line and upper thin crack. REBOLTED 7. Lies and Deception (7a) * an excellent lower wall, tough bulge and crux to gain groove. REBOLTED 8. Summat Outanowt (7a) ** long slim groove, difficult overlap and fine headwall. A surprising find. 9. Lost Contact (7a+) *** the shallow groove and thin crack in the headwall. Superb, but spaced bolts at top. REBOLTED 10. Soggy Biscuits (7b+) *** perhaps the route of the wall aiming for the high upper pillar. Brilliant. REBOLTED 11. Can Boys (7a) ** a fine bold pitch taking the flat face to the right. REBOLTED 12. Can't Girls? (6c+) * pleasant face climbing with a tricky finale on the compact headwall. 13. Bedlam (6c+) * bold open face to right. Good climbing now cleaned. REBOLTED 14. Noisy Neighbours (7a) squeezed onto the face to the right. Some hard and fingery moves but short-lived. |
