Cool. Fell off low, lowered and then got the OS experience on the tough finish!

  
8a ★★★ Holocausto mosquito (L1) Sport 35m ★★ Very Good
The tough slab at the top did not seem very plausible in this heat...

  
7c+ Easy ★★★ Moon Safari Sport 40m, 19 ★★★ Classic
Nice one! 29C and no wind made for sore feet and a lot of sweat. Worth it!

  
8a Easy ★★★ Tequila sunrise — 2 attempts Sport 38m ★★ Very Good
Cool. The thin tufa at the bottom is the best. Foot slip cost me the OS.

  
8a Easy ★★★ El bufa — 2 attempts Sport 38m ★★★ Classic
Very nice. Thought I was trying la Montana, but had the line wrong. Super fun, even in this heat.

  
8a+ ★★★ La montaña mágica (L1) — 3 attempts Sport 36m ★★★ Classic
Awesome! The top half of this was the best bit of climbing I did in Chulilla I think. Just kept it together fighting the fatigue after a week of sickness...

Awesome! Powerful boulder to pumpy top wall.

Quite the move! Fell off on the undercling move on the OS attempt.

  
28 Hard ★★★ Cardigan Street Pitch 2 — 2 attempts Sport 25m, 7 ★★★ Mega Classic
Quite the footwork and technique testpiece. I struggled! Will cruised it . After falling off the first move once or twice, I had a really good go on the first burn falling at the last hard move (and putting a hole in my finger in the process). Was a struggle on the second go too! Awesome!

V11 ★★★ Major Lightweight Boulder ★★★ Mega Classic
Brilliant!! https://youtu.be/Erndt6AhMKk

  
V12 ~V10 ★★★ Yo Mama Boulder ★★ Very Good
Really good! Hanging out of a roof for 5 minutes half a meter off the ground... I used two knee-pads. This way I don't really feel it can be any harder than the (3) individual sections, but I honestly have no idea.

Very cool. Used a left knee pad. https://youtu.be/Q4m69rfnj84

Nice one. Turns out that a double knee-bar no hands rest in the roof does help..!! If you're good with knees this might be on the easy side for 33. Vid at https://youtu.be/5Ys--8FnhIg

Katoomba Area Ngula Bulgarabang/ Radiata Plateau Elphinstone Main Wall
33 ★★★ Sitting Bull Sport ★★★ Mega Classic
Whooop! So good!!! I had the best time trying this over the last 2 years. Yet another piece of incredible climbing at the best cliff around. This felt significantly harder than Tiger Cat to me and took me more than twice as many days. Thanks to all the people who belyed and cheered on this, in particular Will! https://youtu.be/PrUh0DSHfxw

  
31 ★★★ Tiger Vinyl (Linkup) Sport 30m ★★★ Classic
Straight after Sitting Bull.
