Date of ascent : 20/08/09
Route name : Yew Wall
Length/grade/stars : 4 m 6b, non-solo
Climbers : Barnaby Ventham.
Start location:
Between Yew Arête and Garden Wall Crack is a steep slab. Up the middle is Yew Wall.

Pitch descriptions:
Start the climb using a sloped sidepull and use this to reach a small undercut. To get to the undercut there are some technical and trusting foot placements. After you gain the undercut there is another technical move to a shallow jug and then smear up and reach to the top.

Additional info:
I top roped the climb with my friend belaying me. There have been no other repeats that I know of.

There are 3 new exciting routes in the old 4X4 area following the collapse of this whole section.

1 Cotswold Guildford goes Outdoors - Chalk 7 - Climbers, Matt Taylerson & Richard Handy

The first one is just right of the slab and goes through the overhanging start to follow the bolts to the right and then to an awkward pull teetering on the arete before finally gaining the upper reaches of the slab to a new Belay. Sadly Matt Taylerson who did the first ascent has named it "Cotswold Guildford goes Outdoors" so that he could get a freebie from this shop where he works. Richard Handy did the first ascent and helped create it with Matt. Matt knows it is poor show but he is only young and penniless and knows as with all Chalk Routes it is not permanent. It is graded Chalk 7 and is well worth doing.

2 Christmas Cracker - Chalk 6 - Climbers, André Hedger &Bez Bezancon

The second one is to the right where the old "Police 5" went. There is a new belay much higher than before. The Chalk is also steeper than before the rockfall so this follows the bolts and arrowed holds. Extremely reachy but well made holds and well bolted. It is Grade 6 and is called "Christmas Cracker' as it was done on the day of the Christmas Curry. All 3 of these routes were done on the same day Wednesday, December the 9th, 2009

3 Claus for Chalk - Chalk 5+ - Climbers, André Hedger &Bez Bezancon

The third one is further right to this but shares the same first bolt. It is a fine and stretchy climb which could get classic status! It is Grade 5+ and also goes to a new belay.

I did the first ascent of the second and third route with Bez Bezancon. It is called "Claus for Chalk"

There is also a new one I put up in the Pleasure Dome where there has been loads of Rockfall

4 Init - Chalk 7 - Climber, André Hedger

The climb is where the old "Cat on a Tin Roof" went. It goes to the same belay but now has a huge overhanging undercut base. The route strenuously pulls through this roof following the spaced arrows and is a Grade 7. It is called "Init" the slang version of Isn't it!

Additional info:
I have been using up bolts and belay rings like crazy so if anyone can source more rings or bolts then that would be appreciated.

Route name : Judamondo
Length/grade/stars : 8m, English 6C
Climbers : Ben Read
Start location:
To the right of the Route 'The Beguiled'

Pitch descriptions:
The centre line up the pocketed wall past the large holedish, then very fragile undercuts, finshing up the crack to a good hold on the top. Hard 6C. Please be careful when climbing the top as the holds are very thin and could snap off in wet weather.
