      Finally that annoying red tag on the SweatPea wall has been removed.

      State Of Discontent 28 15m

      FA Emil Oct 10

      Climbs the arete right of SweatPea and left of Black Ambience. Bouldery and technical – makes it difficult to grade, so please feel free to add your thoughts on the grade. 7 P’s to double P lower-off.

        Well done Emil that was quick work in the end. How many shots? I’ll take that grade with a healthy grain of salt, having tried the moves before!

            State Of Discontent (SOD) has had one or two ascents since and I think the grade of 28 is fair.

            The line of SOD opened up a piece of wall that I had looked at for a while. The route that I spied finally fell today with the cold morning temps. While it is more of a variant of SOD, it is so different in character that I am describing it as a new route…

            Start up SOD to the obvious break at mid-height. Instead of heading left of the arete as for SOD, break right (and cross the line of Black Ambiance) and head up the obvious leaning corner feature using both the face and the arete of the corner to an exciting finish.

            Lower-offs at the top can also be used for neighbouring Animalistic Rage, which has not had lower-offs to date.
