Subject: Bloodstone
Rating: V5
Quality: 3 stars
Location: Tram
Notes: Amazing incuts
Bloodstone is a problem that has classy moves on amazingly
thin incut flakes. The patch of stone that the line follows
has an exotic mix of blood orange patina and brown xenos
accented with bright streaks of yellow and green lichens.
Another great find by Joe Morgan.
Sit start under the low roof at somewhat juggy huecos.
Pull to the lip and then move right and up on incut flakes.
These cruxy moves at the lip are a bit bunchy, and may
even be easier if you're short. Continue up the wave shaped
face on excellent incuts on unusual rock. The finish,
although not very tall (11ft.), may feel a bit spicy due
to the obstacle course of jumbled boulders below.
