Cool route! Reachy in places. I’d think 23 for the first pitch is more in line with the feel for the rest of the route? Was a little damp in a few places after all the recent rain but ok. Really appreciate the recent rebolt! On P1 a 60m rope makes it from base of wall to belay at P2 to save moving the belay, comfier spot to belay also. Used 18 quickdraws(3 were long).

Some of the bolts on upper section starting to look like they could be replaced soon.

So good!! Harder moves than atomic/no space but is over a little sooner. I think the original 28 is probably more accurate

Probably my favourite route at the boneyard?! 3rd go, having done it years ago. I upgraded it here to 28 in line with consensus of boneyard regulars and other guides.

What a classic!

Slippery lil sucker. Took many tries till I had the fitness for it! Just used wires on the top section.

Fun route! Preclipped the first bolt. Finished up XI, which i would recommend

Better climbing than the original IMO, and not much harder. Crux being the bulge with easier climbing either above and below. I was surprised how much good gear was on it. Its not much more run out than the original, with a bomber yellow totem at your feet pulling the bulge and a great blue totem protecting the easy wall section above.

its possible to lower-off anchor at top of buttress on the R

i thought hard for the grade, theres easier 24's around. The gears adequate but it was an engaging one!

Really good!

awesome little number. got the heartrate up a bit! TR inspection, then led it next shot

technical and classy little number

Bold but easy climbing

such a good chimney pitch! and i know how weird that sounds haha

Phwoar, funky little number

Amazing line! Wish i had more finger size cams. You can protect the whole thing with grey C4 size piece, Id bring 6 of those next time for easy plug and go climbing

Awesome climbing, classic baby bum pressing into techy top full of hidden secrets. Great for your first 28

Having done it years ago on preplaced, today was a good day to do it placing it. Such fun climbing. I feel its closer to 26, getting pretty polished!

desperate slab, worthwhile.

theres a hollow sounding block on it.

great piece of technical trickery. got it 3rd try

a great little number, worthy of more attention. The trick at the crux is to just believe its going to work. Solid at the grade
