Thunder Head Roy's Wall
24 Iron Harvest (trad start) Mixed trad 26m, 5 Very Good
The trad start going up crack was really nice but again, the steep pocket moves got me. Damn hard through the bulge. Finished the rest of the climb (slab) on the sport version on second.

 
24 Iron Harvest (face start) Mixed trad 27m, 8 Very Good
Beautiful slopey orange slab/face start that I climbed through no problems. The powerful pocket moves defeated me, even after numerous attempts. Finally, the crimpy slab finish was rad and I did it clean. All up superb climbing.

My first trad lead. Apart from one dodgy cam placement, the rest was firmly in place. And could have put one or two more pieces of gear just before the end. Nice corner.

Another repeat. Reachy moves to pockets.

 
21 Dad Trad 20m Very Good
At a certain point on this climb, about halfway, I started traversing along these small holds instead of reaching up a little higher to a large jug which I didn't notice. Also broke off a hold.

 
17 18 Miss Penelope Trad 12m Very Good
Stemming and a few lay-backs along the way. Fun climbing with many interesting moves!

26 Feeding Frenzy Mixed trad 30m, 3 Very Good
Seconded this to get out of Windjammer. About 21/22 3/4 of the way and then crazy hard. Still managed to do all the crux moves but broken down with many rests.

Sat 9th Mar 2013 - Point Perpendicular
Thunder Head Thunderbird Wall
23 Fab Mixed trad 25m, 5 Very Good
Could manage all the moves but couldn't link some of the harder crux moves. Great climb to project. More warm-ups before this next time.

Attempted another 25m of climbing (was about 22) which I dogged. It is a new 40m 26 with the first 20m being 22. Too juiced but another great climb to repeat next time.

 
20 No Strings Attached Trad 15m Very Good
Nice climb to start the day.

 
Sun 10th Feb 2013 - Mt Gibraltar
Main Wall
20 Comyns Trad 50m Very Good
With Paul. Pitch 1 - Second Clean, Pitch 2 - Onsight, Pitch 3 - Second Clean.

Pitch 2 was definitely the highlight of Comyn's. Delicate, balancey friction slabbing all in the feet. I really enjoyed the first few moves of this pitch.

 
Sat 26th Jan 2013 - Point Perpendicular
