UKC Logbook - 'Thunderbolts and Flowers'

25m. The SMC reference - “An appealing vertical crack between Just a Little Tease and Midgiematosis has been climbed, but with protection including side runners preplaced (F7c), it was not considered a proper ascent.”

This line was originally climbed by Tom Ballard (2008) and named Echoes, with the gear in Just a Little Tease pre-placed and the gear in the base of the crack pre-placed and pre-clipped.

Climbs the vertical crack immediately right of “Just a Little Tease”. Start as for this route, cross the scoop and climb the prow to reach the rest, (from here this route shares no climbing or protection with “Just a Little Tease”).
Move out right to reach the base of the crack, climb this directly to reach better holds and a ledge on the right.

This route was climbed placing all the gear on lead, without side runners placed in the twin cracks of “Just a Little Tease”.
