First gear fall of the trip. Struggled to get established on P3. Retreated because I am quite fond of my ankles and I did not like my chances of not decking.

Good first route of the trip. Fun movement in the second pitch then a surprisingly on move followed by pleasant stemming on the third pitch

Linking pitches 2-3 doesn’t work well. Recommend linking 1-2 if trying to save some time

Really good. Enjoyed every pitch. This weekend I learned I am not good at seeing obvious stem moves. Thought the first pitch was harder than the second.

Good first and second pitch. Third one has a very tricky start with no protection for a while, which could lead to decking... Very commiting when leading at that grade. We'll try again

The first two pitches were great and the third one looked like fun but we decided to bail ( which is easy from the top of the second pitch ) because the first moves were unprotected, committing and a fall would lead to hitting the platform. All in all not a great recipe, but we'll be back after building up more confidence at the grade.

	17	★★ Vandal - with Michael Smith	Trad 45m	★★★ Classic	Bernd Schiffer
Pushing my grade here. Led all three pitches. Start of first pitch is tricky for a 14, rest of p1 and all of p2 cruising. p2 has a nice small cave at the top. Belayed on the boulder right under the crux of p3. The whole climb would've been three stars if the start of p3 were been better protected. There are two small cams on the lip, but then the next 4 m has no pro, and I'm pretty sure I would've decked from 5-6 m height right on the big boulder. Crack is too wide for #6. A single bolt would be nice here. That all said, the moves are just fantastic. Don't get distracted by thinking of climbing the face on the left. You'd get to the letterbox and then there's no way out of there. Bridging is king here, and it's a great and fun way.

Got the first move on P3 into the hanging corner OK. Disturbing that you then need to do more gymnastics on the next move. Glad I wasn't leading.
	17	★★ Vandal - with Grant Johnston, shichang 1 13 lead by shichang 2 14 lead by Grant Johnston 3 17 lead by John Pitcairn	Trad 45m	★★ Very Good	John Pitcairn
Good climbing on each pitch, with stepping into the layback/bridge corner a tad committing just off the belay on the 3rd (assuming you don't do some ridiculous thrutch way way way inside). A #6 is way too small to protect that, there is an 0.5 at the lip but got well above that before being able to stop for more. Pretty cool. The rap sling clusterfuck at the top could do with some rationalization but is OK.

	17	★★ Vandal	Trad 45m	★★ Very Good	Dave Scarlett
P1 (seconded): Tough start for the grade, then much easier once the groove is gained. P2 (seconded): Excellent, 3-dimensional climbing, where bridging will keep out of the bird poo coated flaring crack! P3 (lead): Crux start with not quite as much protection as you'd like. A BD #6 cam might just be big enough for the crack during the crux though. Used mainly small cams, and double ropes were useful, as the pro tended to alternate between right next to the crack, and about a metre left of it.
