Pretty fun, committing moves over the lip and then easy climbing on questionable rock towards the top

Climbed with the left-hand-to-sloper beta pretty much first attempt. Was drastically easier than other way I was trying (maybe easy V2), but less fun movement than RH-to-sloper and veering left (which feels hard V4). The veering-left way may be separate route maybe - feels distinc and significantly harder, as it doesn't go to the good undercling adding several dynamic moves. Top out is straight forward, more secure than Trev or Nev (would be pleasant but for the slightly thorny bush at 3/4 height)

Not good conditions for slopers, but slightly better than when I tried it last week in the 30+ temperatures last week. Doing right-hand-to-sloper variant - just need to work out one more move and should be done. I also trimmed back a bunch of the blackberry bushes earlier in week - were getting very out of control and starting to block the path, never mind making the falls sketchy. Everything from about Nev through to Nati Beast should be comfortably climbable for now

21 if sloper used with L hand - sloper with R makes it a bit harder.

Contrived yet awesome!!! The first move takes a little work then the next few moves are fun, then comes the choss ... still highly recommended even just for the first few moves!
