    24 Escape to Gotham City Sport 25m, 10 Very Good
    Still gets very good despite being a link-up...it's a better start than Gotham and the same end so...

    Fell off last crux move to Hueco. Got it after a bit of play and finished straight through to chains via dead-point.

     
    23 Gotham City Sport 25m, 11 Classic
    Great climb. Loved the big deadpoint to finish....the only respectable finish

    First 26 in Aus! New beta through top crux and fresher skin did the trick... Still as thin as I remember though! Psychedd!!

     
    23 Zeppelin - with Olivia, Callum Sport 25m, 8
    To last bolt and had fallen off so many times on the top section by then I was getting really angry and not enjoying it. Lowered off. This band of rock on this wall I always find tricky.

    Worked out the best beta for both cruxes.

     
    26 Gotham City Sport 20m, 5 Very Good
    Fell at low crux. Linked both cruxes from there but split a tip and that's the end of that for the day.

    25 Bop Till You Drop - with Kel Sport 22m
    Fingery off the deck and stays so. Feels too finger-tweaky to me on a number of moves so not worth the risk. Nice moves though...good climbing.

     
    21 Boogie 'til You Puke - with Kel Sport 25m, 6 Classic

    23 Debris - with Mitch Sport 51m, 13 Classic
    The route I always gawped at in my very first guidebook 6 yrs ago - the position, the line, the grade etc. Today I got to climb it..a climbing milestone for me. Probably more 22 moves than 23 but with a fierce wind, some shady rock and all that exposure it didn't feel that easy! Sooo cool.

    Sport 71m Classic
    Gets classic status because you'll never climb anything like it again. P1 is the money. P3 I went for a sandy nothing instead of the right hold early on. 2nd shot the treat. I think you could easily take a grade of each pitch in terms of the actual climbing difficulty...it's just the position that makes it feel harder.
