Second time Piles, this time in day light and not at the end of the session. Got the upper section this time, really cool moves, but struggled on the 3rd bolt instead.

What a cool climb! I struggled just above the last clip.. seems to be a very reachy move. The rest was fine - a bit technical, a bit crimpy, good fun.

Finally… Should really not have taken so many attempts. A higher foot and it went like nothing at all. Very nice climbing, not interesting as Gobble, but still very nice.

Once again I was tempted by the lower foot, once again I slid right off it... Maybe one day I'll get through this without slipping off the crux! The upper slab is great

Beta is dialled as much as possible… guess grade 22 is just my absolute limit atm.. Basically have to just give it a couple rp burns everytime I’m here and probably have a 10% chance of sending it each shot…

Trying to find beta that is easy on right knee… Also trying to sort out a good rest before crux. Interestingly i find the crux easier if I don’t look at my feet and just go for it

Sick climb. Wish there were anchors on the wall for a proper lead climb. Would be scetchy to top out. Thinking about dropping off anchors from the top to clip to?

Crux actually wasn't that hard once I found the right feet, the real crux being finding them in the dark. Wasn't keen on the unaidable unlit slab in the dark, but absolutely keen to give this another proper go.

Retro-flash. Tried it once a year or two ago. This is a great route, one of my faves at KP. Deserves more traffic.

	22	★★ Piles - with Kylan Finch	Sport 17m, 6	★★★ Mega Classic	Steven vdb
although there was a fat tickmark where i should of placed my right foot, i felt that the round knob a bit lower would be better. bad decision. i hit the right gaston, tried to levitate my body upwards, a popped off the round knob. hurt my shoulder in the process.
	22	★★ Piles - with Kylan Finch	Sport 17m, 6	★★★ Mega Classic	Steven vdb
i tried the crux again with the crap foot and popped off. really felt like that foot wasnt the way to go so i decided to use the high tick marked foot. so much easier to transition to the big right gaston. really made the crux easier.
	22	★★ Piles - with Kylan Finch	Sport 17m, 6	★★★ Mega Classic	Steven vdb
phenomenal climb in the end, pretty much all the holds felt like good edges. the slab at the end was a major treat and felt so good. top outs are also pretty cool, but since kylan was still going to go for a burn i ended up just victory whipping of the top bolt.

What a climb! So close to the onsight! More careful attention to the feet available and it would've been all mine. The single slip moving beyond the second bolt was the only issue. This'll go next session for sure.

Felt stiff for the grade - the crux was quite tricky. Top slab was spicy at night, very happy I took up a head torch. Took a good whip just below the last bolt and inverted. Keen to get back and give it another burn.
