Nice

Absolute saga

Classic.

Harder than it looked.

Great boulder. Needed the right beta to avoid powering out.

Sometimes felt straightforward along the traverse, sometimes felt impossible. Either way, catching the flake and moving up felt very hard.

Tricky bit is the catch, not the jump. Loads easier to stick in the cold.

Really good.

This bloc is awesome

Meggaaaaa roof

Lots of lank

Awkward, strange, satisfying dynamic move

Super cool roof moves

Squeeeeeze

Good to reacquaint myself with classic Font slopers

First go of the day, needed maximum freshness!

Another one I couldn't get last year, but could now. Blew my first attempt greasing off the nice left hand before the top, sun started to shine directly on the holds and took a load more goes before finally sticking it.

felt steady, pleased to feel progress from last year

Fun climbing

My tips are sore. Felt real progress pulling on the side pull compared to previous seasons.

Awesome line, awesome moves.

Good wall for warming up

It's a great problem. Warmed up by trying each move and didn't stick any of them. Four or five redpoint attempts and I was at the top, always stronger when going for a send.

Compression :). Found the top harder than the bottom!

Wow. Looks great, amazing style, and made harder by the rocky landing.

A climb with disintegrating holds

Steady moves all the way. May return for the sit.

Lovely dynamic slap to a left hand sloper, and trusting it when cranking on the right high heel.

Great moves, suits strong or long arms.

Stiff end of the grade.

Burned out trying this over and over, finally caught the positive lip.

Three or four attempts in winter temps

Out to arete.

Great problem. Two knee bars, pinches, dyno, desperate top.

Big move, all jugs.

Fun, fun, fun.

Great location by the brook.

Slopey and coarse

Gorgeous line

Tested it a few times until I trusted the feet to reach the top

Adds a touch more difficulty to the straight right hand side arete

Frustratingly stiff pull from the floor but a satisfying throw for the top

Suits me pretty well.

They don't come better than this. Second go :)

Few sessions falling off the mantle until one magical day where the scrittle was in my favour

Decent few moves and tricky top.

Brimham in a nutshell. 10 stars.

Thoroughly enjoyed working out this arete

Liked it a lot.

British slopers in the British sunshine.

Went after I worked out some less-cramped beta. Feet stay low until reaching the top just off a high left and right hand palm.

Stiff pull and not much else

Two sessions, separated by 8 weeks of sprained ankle recovery. Satisfying to come back to the place the injury was sustained.

A lovely slappy move, but not too tricky.

Lots of fun to be had.

Two evening sessions. First 7b!

Had to move quickly..

Love it.

Tried it off most of the hold combinations to try and make sure it'd been done properly!

Great moves.

Big first move, make it and you've done it.

Friction dependant. First 7a+.

Quality and hilarious top

Stiff

Nice to use finger cracks. I'd recommend trying the sit - adds an extra move of similar difficulty.

Good fun

Feels high

Great practice for compression.

Cool smearing

Didn't meet the hype

James J spent all his energy working it out for me.
