Pretty hard rock over and mean crimps

Cruised it on attempt number 10,497.

more thrutchy than delicate

Bouldery start, then easy balancing to the top

Line of most resistance eventually fell after much toproping

Cool sequence

Crimpy, had to rest under the overhang

Pumped myself stupid at the crux. Got some aid from Dan to top out. Nowhere near clean, or tidy.

Hell of a crimpy crux move. Had some aid first go. Came back down and had another shot at the lower crux. Managed to get it clean.

My favourite route at the crag, once you remember the beta it's much easier.

Did I make this into a contrived route by trying to avoid all the positive holds within reach? Hard for the grade, if I climbed it right.

Contrived but good climbing, I think I was supposed to avoid all the positive hold...

Did somebody say contrived? Blinkers need to be on in full affect to avoid grabbing easily reachable jugs on either side of the line. The hardest part is actually finding holds you're allowed to use through the crux. Easy climbing to a 4 move Boulder problem finishing with straightforward crimping to the top

Sick line with surprisingly awesome gear. Unfortunately dropped the onsight but glad i ticked it

Could be anywhere from 20-25 depending on whats 'in' on this line. If everything in reach is in its probably a 20. Some nice crimpy moves.

Did it twice, pretty comfortably, though kinda felt like I cheated... First time because I was at full stretch, impossible move for anyone less than 6 foot tall. Second time I tried to find alternative feet and feel like I prob foot dabbed. Will have to try it again sometime...
