15 Pop-up Toaster Trad 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.

Send in the Clowns
16 Trapezius Unknown 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 Trad 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 Sport 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 Sport 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 Sport 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.

19 18 Plume Trad 25m Classic
Great climb. It was my first for the day and so it pumped me big time. Great climbing and great gear.

 
20 Termination Trad 18m Very Good
What a great climb. A few wierd moves, but great climbing and ample gear. Definately deserves a star.

 
20 Piranha Trad 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 Trad 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.

Lead it with no difficulty. Had seconded it on the last outing.

16 Line Of Credit Sport 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.

20 The Great Big Bright Green Pleasure Machine Trad 33m Classic
Fantastic Climb that deserves two stars. If you can get past the initial off-width. The face and crack work above is beyond comprehension. Awesome! Do it, do it!

21 The Stars Look Down Trad 18m Classic
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!

 
11 Condor Trad 18m Very Good
Seconded Troy so that I could get up to the ledge and abseil off the side of The Stars Look Down and photograph Andy.

19 Sorcerer's Apprentice Trad 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.

16 Clemency Trad 190m Classic
Lead the first three pitches with Phil, so I could see for next time where it goes and where the remaining pitches go. The third pitch is fecking awesome! Not a climb for grade 16 climbers! Should be taken very serious.

19 Avatar Sport 40m, 9 Classic
Great climb that could almost deserve two stars. One of the best lines on the cliff. With Sacred Snakes it's a must do at the cliff.

 
20 Thin Is In Sport 40m, 12 Very Good
Great moves through the bulge and awesome thin, clean moves on the slab above. Deserves a star.

 
17 Sports Fan Sport 45m, 11 Very Good
Another nice line, which was a good warm up for the routes I did that day. Most of the climb is 15. Crux through overlap.

 
21 Uncertainty Principle (Uncertanty Principle) Sport 45m, 13 Classic
Last climb before the heat and humidity took over. Graet climb, with all the holds where you want them. The second overhang is harder than the first.

18 Iron Mandible Trad 24m Classic
Felt comfortable. Little tough in places but plenty of good feet. Save some energy for the hand jam finish. Look for face holds to mix it up a bit. Awesome climb.

18 Borderline 29 Trad 15m Mega Classic
Absolute classic climb with exposure max! Thought provoking traverse gets you ento the enjoyable finger crack with plenty of pro. Set of wires and a couple of small cams is all you need.

17 String Theory (String Theory p1) Sport 70m, 13 Very Good
VERY nice climbing

 
19 Trachyte Terrorism Sport 35m, 11 Classic
Awwesome climbing, well deserved of a star.

 
20 Hunting the Wild Tofu Sport 20m, 5 Very Good
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

 
14 The Day the Jugs Ran Out Sport 35m, 8 Good
a few hard moves for 14 but well worth the effort.

15 Bad Company Trad 20m Good
Very nice corner with plenty of good face holds to keep your feet out of the crack. Need no large gear.

 
18 Elastic RURP Trad 20m Classic
Excellent climbing with a couple of sustained 4 meter sections but good rests all the way. Has all the moves and deserves another star, and soft for the grade.

 
Sat 4th Sep 2004 - Frog Buttress

17 Smoked Banana Trad 40m Classic
Great climbing, with ample rests to negotiate the two major cruxes, one low and one through the bulge. Great gear all the way. The chockstones are bommer and the squirm chimney relents to easier squirming the higher you go.

15 Iron Butterfly Trad 28m Very Good
Becoming very pumped down low unfortunately set me up for a long, endurious pumpfest on the enjoyable moves through the bulgey flake. Great pro, but I still sketched out!

Nice line. Comfortable.

 
15 Mechanical Prune Trad 18m Very Good

'Between the poles' is a nice climb, with a very committing first bolt, although I reckon that the technique never exceeds 17.

 
24 23 M1 The Ricoh Destruction Test (The Ricoh Destruction Test p1) Aid 100m Classic
Have just rapped in and onsighted the last pitch with the draws pre-placed. Awesome pitch!! I reckon grade 21/22.

 
20 The Sacred Snakes of Tanahlot (The Sacred Snakes of Tanahlot p1) Sport 75m, 17 Classic
Just a great climb with beautiful exposure, solid rock, great protection and all the moves in the book. Great stuff JJ! Lead the second pitch on 14/4 and first pitch on 3/5. Grade 19(1st), 20(2nd).

19 Chubba Chips Mods Mixed trad 20m, 5 Very Good
Fist time on it and I fall, sliming off the first ledge twice. Starting again and continuously wipingg my hands I manage to pump up past the 1st 3 bolts to cruise the rest. Book say 18 and 20 in description and index. Hmm It's solid 19.
