17 The Martian Mixed trad 320m, 22 Very Good
An enjoyable outing. Last couple of pitches were a bit of a sting the tail after the pleasant rambling of the rest of the climb - they were also the cleanest & best pitches on the climb, so it wasn't all bad. Pitch lengths listed here seem accurate - pitch 4&5 run together left me pulling against rope stretch to clip into the anchor (using 60m half ropes).

Trad 30m Very Good
First pitch only. Pretty good, rock quality was OK. Found the belay ledge very uncomfortable.

19 Sunburnt Buttress Trad 190m Very Good
Fun rambling line - but at times the route taken seems a little bit arbitrary. Climbing is mostly pleasant and on good rock, the traversing is novel. Enough spice to keep things interesting.

17 Night Moves Mixed trad 30m, 14 Very Good
Awesome climbing with an interesting style. Lots of loose dirt & small loose flakes on the face. If it gets more traffic it could clean up into a classic. No trad gear necessary.

16 Ruby Of India Trad 210m Classic
Super cool! Pitch 5 was my fave - lots of big jugs and excellent sharp crimps. I think I did far more bush bashing than I should have on the lower pitches.
