17 | ★★ Ozone Action - with Demetrius | 20m, 3 | ★★★ Classic | |||
Lead it this time, late in day and not so gracefully. Fantastic climbing!
|

16 | ★ Neuron Nerd - with Demetrius | 8m, 3 | Average | |||
Chossy, ok
|
||||||
20 | ★ Bundy's been bolting - with Demetrius | 15m, 6 | ★ Good | |||
Fun climbing but dogged last two moves so didn't really earn it.
|
||||||
19 | ★★★ Wacky Tabacci - with Demetrius | 25m, 8 | ★★★ Classic | |||
Enjoying the memory more than the climb itself. Has to be done, but what a mind game! I top roped it and didn't sit on the rope, but not sure I could've actually lead it - very mental! Sustained and strenuous on the legs and ankles. Definitely wear pants. Once you start finding holds 2/3s up, starts getting quite enjoyable. Loose-sounding, visibly flexy thin flakes abound. Enjoy!

Main Crag | ||||||
17 | ★★ Ozone Action - with Demetrius, MFC | 20m, 3 | ★★★ Classic | |||
Fantastic climbing the whole way up and variety of different climbing styles exercised! Down low the crux, lay backing and jamming left foot in flake. Above the bulge, plenty of small steps and comes more down to matching and using feet in an intelligent way. Definitely deserves classic status!

||||||
16 | ★ Cosmic Cruncher - with Demetrius, MFC | 8m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Tasty warm up. Short but sustained. Bit damp on some holds but there's been a lot of rain. Thought it was a great little climb!

15 | ★ Sideline Jack - with jarad | 14m, 6 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Nice fun quality rock. Crux coming out of the overhang, awkward move. A tough 15.

Pumpy. Feels a bit blank but ok holds the whole way up. Enjoyable

Point Clare Crag | ||||||
13 | ★ Disco cheese grater - with MFC | 15m, 6 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Crux at very beginning. After that, great fun the whole way up w an undercling and a couple easy mantle sections. Take plenty of bolt plates (we were short and had to keep downclimbing) - think i must've counted 8 or so...? A rope protector would've been handy too for how the anchor is set up.
|
||||||
17 | ★★ They're everywhere - with MFC | 10m, 5 | ★★★ Classic | |||
Bit of everything in this for such a short climb - Satisfying overhang w great jugs to begin, balancy slab in the middle and just when you don't know where to go next, there's a miracle right-hand hold at the end of your reach. Similar impression to a gym route which someone has put some thought into building, with the added bonus of fresh air!

Little damp. The crux is the footwork leading up to the first bolt. Great run to break in our new gear!

Walk in is beautiful. Pretty easy climb, great for starting out trad. Careful of loose stones tumbling down the chute. The short, first pitch is also known as Bog Pitch.
