15 | Pop-up Toaster | 6m | Don't Bother | |||
Only reason we did this was to fill in the remainder of the day after being on EP. Fairly crappy and a worthless top out. Rap off the big tree above to the right.

16 | ★★ Trapezius | 20m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Figured the arete would need to go, so I ventured out there for the first time, making a great variant start to Big Top and Send in the Clowns. Good exposure and nice moves up the arete. Good gear. Lots of air!
|
||||||
15 | ★★★ Big Top | 25m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Very nice, airy finish to SITC, although I climbed a new variant start on the far left arete to gain Big Top.

18 | ★ Zircon Encrusted Tweezers | 40m, 9 | Average | |||
Thought I'd squeeze this lead in before heading home. A bit slick, given the conditions, but worth climbing. A bit balancy through the first four bolts. Look for the holds. They're there.
|
||||||
16 | ★ The Runes of the Heretics | 20m, 5 | ★ Good | |||
Very slick today, given the recent rain. Made it quite sketchy for the grade. May have to confirm the grade in the dry, but I reckon 17.
|
||||||
19 | ★★ Pagan Nation | 25m, 10 | ★ Good | |||
A pretty good climb and would have been enjoyed as little more if the rock was completely dry. Thin in places, but very well protected. The crux is thought provoking.

Great climb. It was my first for the day and so it pumped me big time. Great climbing and great gear.

20 | ★★ Termination | 18m | ★★ Very Good | |||
What a great climb. A few wierd moves, but great climbing and ample gear. Definately deserves a star.
|
||||||
20 | ★★★ Piranha | 45m | ★★★ Classic | |||
An absolute stunning climb, with almost all the moves in the book. Long but has three good rests. Thinkabout it and you won't get pumped. Great gear all the way, except the bottom 7m is a bit fiddly.
|
||||||
6 | ★ Saturday Afternoon Walk | 15m | ★ Good | |||
Bumbled up this climb to get to the ledges above. Quite nice for a beginner, I reckon. The short 5m corner above to the Termination ledge is a great continuation for beginners too.

Desperation Wall | ||||||
16 | ★★ Line Of Credit | 70m, 23 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Very nice climb considering the rock quality in the area. Very well protected, but watch getting to the first bolt.... it's a bit of a reach. Two 60m ropes will get you back to the ground, otherwise you'll have two raps.

had to climb it after photographing Andy on it. next time I'll lead it for the redpoint. Awesome climb with a thought-provoking crux on gear that needs to be well placed. The top section is fantastic and well protected. Lead it on 22-05-05. Cruised it!

19 | ★★ Sorcerer's Apprentice | 30m | ★★★ Classic | |||
What can I say, but do it if you're climbing 20, because it's a very strenuous 19. It's well worth it though. Jamming and the occasional needed face hold.

Great moves through the bulge and awesome thin, clean moves on the slab above. Deserves a star.

VERY difficult start off the belay, clip the bolt, step back down and work the sequence out, very balancy with delicate footwork. Blast up through the big pocket and the mono pocket (best hold before the second bolt), eases after that to 18
