|
||||||
12 15 | ★ Black Velvet | 50m | Average | |||
Sandbag at 12. No good reason for it to be so runout, considering the protection is crappy mild-steel bash-in carrots (costing $0.60ea from Bunnings)

harder bouldery start than the 18, continuously worrying about which holds are going to break or not

Thompson's Point Vanderholics Wall | ||||||
18 | ★ Gina Hardface | 15m, 6 | Average | |||
Wierd crux - there is a huge amount of chalk around the crack, so I headed up there, but it was proven to me that it isn't needed
|
||||||
19 | ★★★ Vanderholics | 25m, 8 | ★ Good | |||
Easy for the grade - the top moves are just awkward - surely there is a better way to climb it than how I did.
And somebody has left some obscene drawing in the cave.

10 | ★★★ Syrinx | 170m | ★ Good | |||
Hard for a grade 10, but still easy climbing.
I thought it would be a good idea to squeeze one more climb in, so started it at 4pm, with headtorches on and ready to go. Only got dark on P6, which was fine. Climbed 5 pitches on trad in under 2 hours, pretty speedy.
Descent was fun getting lost trying to find Ali's!
