2x warm up leads Can be nice and easy or pretty strenuous at the crux when I mess up technique.

Three goes on this beauty, great as always. On second go rushed and pealed from the very top of the crux. Have all the beta now, just need a bit more skin and less couch life

	21	★★ Midlife Crisis - with Laura, David	Sport 28m	★ Good
Knowing the beta about hidden carrot bolt above the ledge makes it more bearable, but it’s still groundfall or a nasty fall on a slab from here. The moves on this route are great, the bolting not so. The route has a potential, but the bolting killed it for me. Can’t understand why second bolt is so far and hidden from any view (like if carrots are not hard enough to see), third bolt rediculously far right up, but just a bit higher, another two bolts a meter apart from each other. The guide book (new one) doesn’t indicate any of this so read The Crag.

My first 25. Hooray!! Put draws on for warm up first go (uhh, very scarry) and sent on second go. Big battle through the crux and last final crimps. Was able to recover on crimps at crux (didn’t know that ispossible) and than managed to keep my head calm till the end. Big thanks to Ludek and Martin for the support.

Un-sent and than re-sent again on second go. Can’t believe I flashed this long ago!! Although it got down graded from a 26, the broken off holds are getting it slowly back to its original grade.

First crux on second go, yey, second crux under the anchor seems to be a matter of good luck if I hit the slot. Veeeeery awesome climbing, even with trashed skin still great!! The wire gate biner on one of anchor bolts could do with replacing. It’s brushed through almost half way.

Awesome day. Dogged first pitch (worked out all moves, didn`t pull on quickdraw) and onsighted all my other leads. 1.pitch - I was lucky to have time and patience of my belayer (thanks Ro) towork out the crux. Took a bit of falliing, but learned one more new move. Surprisingly fell of the slaby last move before the anchor, hand slipped, looong fall with all slag and stretch in those 45 meters of rope, almost ended up with my face in the lip way below. 2.pitch - Some slappy business, didn`t find it terribly easy. 5.pitch - Feels like could have potential but actually is not that great. Chossy and feels fragile. 6.pitch - famous traverse, pretty hairy on second tip toeing above that ledge with 45m of the rope out that has definitely enough slag and stretch ..... Made me contemplate. Espetially after that fall on the pitch one. 9.pitch Scrambled up. Looked at pitch 10. and decided to go home and have a beer.

Katoomba Area Narrow Neck Boganville Right Wall
	23	★★ Venissieux - with Ro-boat, Vladi Eileen, Ben Jenga, che, Matt Minus	Sport 23m, 9
Hard and stiff for a 23. Theme of the climb: "I wish I knew where I was going". Just that first move!!! Cheeky jugs weren`t jugs. Strenuous explorations and wonders around to get to next bolt, thanks Ro for soft catches on those whipers .... overly exciting run out on a flake (scarryyyy) and a rather wrong way facing side pull just at the anchor. Exciting and breath taking package this climb is.
	22	★ All The Way May	Sport 11m, 5	★ Good
Second go didn`t miss the last hold before anchor. Yay. Nice route.

Pretty exciting moment just before the anchor with underklings and smearing on not much. Didn`t want to believe I had to do it, ha ha. Very cool though.

After figuring out the crux last time here this time success ... Although I wouldn't recommend getting too deep into the cave, you may perform funny theatrical peace for your belayer like I did.

	19	★ Pushover Pinnacle Direct - with Pawel, Bea	Sport 20m, 9
I find the start hard for a 19. The first four QDs is cool climbing with fun moves, really like it. I wouldn`t bother with the top, it felt like I will pull a block of rock on my belayer any moment and everything sounded hollow there.

	24	★★ Work Injury - with Pawel, Bea	Sport 15m, 7	★★★ Classic
Has cool moves all the way through and some crimpy balancy challenges in the second half. First go made it to 3rd QD and than worked out moves bold to bolt. Putting QDs on made it exciting. Fell in love with this one.
	21	★★ Queen Bitch - with Pawel, Bea	Sport 15m	★★ Very Good
Exciting start and fun laybacking changes later to a awkward steming?crimping?pull ups? on pockets and ledges in overhanging corner. In the first moment it feels crazy but is actually super cool ... figuring out what to do with yourself there. I like it a lot with all its unusuallness and awkwardness. The finish at the anchor is a cherry on the cake.

Awesome, strong, hard. Have to start doing some bouldering I guess. Figured out the first crux after "a few" falls. Kept falling of the second crux below anchor. Tried all possible combinations and permutations of hand and foot holds - nothing worked. Looking forward to figuring this out.
