technogeekery's Logbook (34 ascents)

after blocky steep start. Usual great limestone pockets and holds. Well protected like most on this crag. Graded 6a+ (5.10a) but like most of these routes I think the grade is soft as I'd normally struggle to lead at this grade.

Didn't continue onto upper pitches as it was raining and they were wet, while the lower wall was dry - so only did the 5.9 section. Good clean fun

on clean well protected rock. Amazing limestone to climb on. Had a troop of mangrove monkeys join me on the climb - far bettter climbers than I'll ever be, they were both entertaining and discouraging as they free-solo downclimbed sections I could not get up!

I did this on toprope, then the next day led it as my first lead on rock in 10+ years... Really good fun, well protected, and very soft grading I think. Did it as 4 pitches as I wanted to practise multipitch leading, so we did the 2 additional pitches out of the cave to the right, up and over the cave to finish on top of the giant stalactite, followed by a spectacular 50m abseil back to the beach being careful not to kick the stalactite down onto the masses below. (I was tempted - the noisy "guides" shouting at their charges below are really irritating...)
