26 Velvet Morning - with Dimsim Sport 30m, 14 Classic
Andrew had a rope on it and kindly offered me a turn. It was a delight, with classy but not-too-tricky moves and a lot of pump

Pitch 2 was hard, definitely reasonable to grade it 24. The whole thing was a fun time and went very smoothly

Leura Sublime Point East Faces Subliminal Wall
23 Subliminal - with Mungo Skyring Sport 92m, 33 Classic
Seconding the traverse pitch was seriously "engaging". I was literally hanging on for dear life, visualizing a horrendous swinging fall each time I unclipped a draw and was then faced with another lot of slippery, slopey awkward holds. I led P2 and I agree that it's really great quality climbing. I won't bore you with my list of excuses, but I found it hard and scary. I got mega pumped and had to rest a few times. We watched a thunderstorm drop a torrent of rain between us and Mt Solitary while we climbed and I prayed that we wouldn't get a similar soaking before we got to the top. I'm keen to go back and try to master this route.

First pitch didn't seem as chossy as some have said. The whole thing is very plentifully bolted. Pretty neat climb

Tricky moves in the first two pitches. Slithery sneaky sequences. Very cool

Very nicely bolted. Pitches can be run together without unacceptable rope drag

Very nicely bolted. You can run the pitches together by unclipping potentially rope-dragging draws behind you

20 Randy Rabbit Ridge - with Wall Sport 280m, 99 Classic
The first few pitches are hard and totally worth it! Much laying-back in finger cracks with crap foot holds. The chockstone foothold on the third pitch is now hanging by a thread! It will come out the next time someone touches it! The top pitches are much the same as Bunny Bucket - super rad!
