10 ~10 Orpheus Trad 150m Crap
Pitches 1,2,3 & 5 were good. Pitch 4 a nightmare of broken, shitty rock + vegetation.

According to the grade, I've not climbed the correct route. Definitely nothing harder than 4-5ish. Hmmmm. 🤔

Was a tricky crux, with the key footholds slippery. But figured out the move, after about 10mins of attempts. Then unclipped the bolt from the ledge above.

No biggie. Just carefully up it, with the rock a bit slimy.
