The Overlook Section D
17 Hard Turds in Tin Hats - with maaddzzyy Sport 14m, 6
Accurate for the grade. The direct start is committing and you'll need a switched on spotter. Sus the holds and sequence out before you start. Once through the sequence and on top of the ledge, take a moment to breath and smile. Route appears run out between several bolts but the good holds are there, just need to find them. More traffic = more chalk, so will be easy to spot holds once crag is released. An excellent climb and well protected.

Be mindful the rope naturally falls and runs through the crack beneath the 5th bolt when being lowered.

 
16 Easy The Rapture of Being Alive - with Marty Middlebrook Sport 14m, 7 Mega Classic
Best climb I've done to date! Route is easy to read and well protected on quality rock. Nice bouldery start followed by perfect holds exactly where you need them. Will return to this crag simply for this climb! Good one for the kids on top rope.

Typical Piddo old school grading, much harder than the grade. First pitch has some decent rests with placements for medium cams, medium nuts and large nuts. Take a couple of #5's for the second pitch or simply bump as you go. Excellent climbing!

Tricky start followed by some amazing chimney work. Good holds both hidden and obvious with medium size placements. Felt harder than an 8, but shouldn't expect anything less at good old Piddo. Ran out of time so will return to do the second pitch. Rapped off the small shrub closest to the start of the second pitch (brown pants).

Finally ticked it off! Very consistent for the grade. Started at 7 and took us 10 hours car to car but that was probably due to having a coffee while enjoying the view for 20 mins before we rapped in. Rope drag on 2nd and 4th pitch were tolerable. Carrots were difficult to locate so ran it out in a few places which wasn't anything to worry about considering how easy the climb is. Take a few short slings as cam and nut placements may not be available when you want them or may not appear to be of a trusting quality. Had a piece of iron stone ledge brake off in my hand while leading the final pitch. If you start this climb late ensure you bring sun protection.
