	18	★★★ Rajah P1 - with Alex Battaglia 1 Trad	Trad 80m	★★★ Classic	Bonnie MacAdam
Just the first 40m but split in 2 pitches. I lead up gorgeous splitter up the first 15m. Lovely jams! Al led the second pitch with some tricky wide sections that again had me lamenting large-handed men. Near the top, I left the crack for a bit somewhat accidentally and did some sidepull face shenanigans before rejoining. Heaps of fun!

	18	★★★ Rajah - with Sean Peters 1 Trad lead by Dean Clean to first ledge (4x #2, 1x #1), finding the #1 thin hands section the crux. Belayed (with #3 + overcammed #4) Sean up to reclaim the gear. And dempump my thumbs. Wasn't breathing too well on the next pitch so relinquished the onsight and took some rests. Started by bumping our remaining #3 up until plugging in the #4 and followed by medium cams. Stepped right into the V then back left at the rooflet. Anchor with #.75 and #2 between another party's gear, though another #3 would have been good. 2 Second lead by Sean Peters Charged up to the roof section then pulled it with a high right foot. Sean ran out of gear toward the end. The guidebook's claim that the rock quality at the top is "relatively good" is rubbish: the right side was aptly termed "weet-bix" by the locals and a many holds on the left flexed too.	Trad 80m		Dean
In general, a pretty taxing climb that (along with the long approach and exit) left me sore. The hands jams were quite taxing since they were often deep, baggy and (especially with both feet in the crack) required pulling on to stay close to the rock.

Split the first into two pitches to share the lead. The most ridiculous hand crack on the first. Then a surprising amount of face-ish bridging on the second.

	18	★★★ Rajah - with Anton Korsun	Trad 80m		Brandon
Fell off once at the start of the first crack and then had to have a rest about halfway up the same section. After that the rest went. I had a long rest on the first ledge and then struggled up the last section. An amazing climb with bomber hands and a interesting second section. Rapped down after the first pitch.
	18	★★★ Rajah (Rajah P1) - with Brandon 1 18 40m	Trad 40m		Anton Korsun
Felt good to get the os. Long struggle with a 4 meter downclimb from the crux to save the pump. Bring all the 2's and 3' you can find.

	18	★★★ Rajah - with Timmy Wong	Trad 80m	★★★ Mega Classic	Harrie Van de Linde
Awesome climb. Hand crack all the way. Controversial onsight as I slipped off at first metre but had no gear in, sooo I’ll call it what it is

Classic. Beautiful jaming, Linked p1+2 (±40m) then rapped off. Gear beta: p1 4x#2, p2 4x#3 would make it nice and comfortable. Doubles in the rest.

Proper crack!!! Got spooked on the first section so brought Nick up to recover gear then I kept trucking to the top. Top part felt much easier or perhaps I was warmed up, and didn't even end up needing the yellows I recovered from lower.

	18	★★★ Rajah - with Alice	Trad 80m	★★★ Classic	topher
Super awesome first pitch. Starts with perfect hands, and basically just keeps going right to the belay with a couple of slightly wider sections. Thought the crux was definitely the overhang on p2.

	18	★★★ Rajah - with Will Vidler, Nathanael Hinton	Trad 80m	★★★ Mega Classic	Harry Kadi
the best hand crack!! So clean and not too hand destroying! Didn't have enough number 3s so the climbing after the first ledge was pretty sketchy until I could squeeze in the number 4 (first pitch only)
	18	★★★ Rajah P1 - with Harry Kadi 1 18 lead by Harry	Trad 80m	★★★ Mega Classic	Will Vidler
An absolutely beautiful line of the most perfect hands. So wonderful and a great lead by Harry with our less than ideal rack. First pitch only.

	18	★★★ Rajah - with Rene Provis	Trad 80m	★★★ Mega Classic	Eamonn
Incredible crack climbing! Pure splitter with great hands. Only did pitch 1 and broke it up into two pitches due to gear (was fine with doubles of #2's, #3's and #4's, with a lot of bumping!). Great hand jams on the first 15m and then some interesting crack with some face/layback on the second half.

	18	★★★ Rajah - with Hannah V	Trad 80m	★★★ Classic	Chris L
Clean second and third pitch. Rested on the first pitch (short, 12m) when jamming on bruises got to be too much. Third pitch is chossy and takes a lot of 1/2/3 cams, probably best to skip it like everyone else does

	18	★★★ Rajah - with Laura	Trad 80m	★★★ Classic	Scott Godwin
Climbed first pitch to the top of the pillar with the devious intention of swinging across to the second pitch of Rigudon, but Laura did something to her shoulder so we bailed. Still an awesome pitch.

Did the last pitch this time, this pitch seems to go on for ever, easy to run out of gear. Probably grade 17 for second pitch, first pitch definitely still grade 18 at off width. Awesome as always!

Climbing up the Ben wearing a T shirt mid April. Great sustained jamming and a bit of face on the last pitch, probably not that much harder than Barbi Di. Will lead this summer!

Easy hand crack start but had to leap frog a bit of gear. Hands free rest on ledge before climbing the widening crack to the top. Crack gets to fist which gets a bit tricky.

One of the best pure splitters I've ever done, though its mostly wide hands and fists for me. In between storms I raced up this, only to be snowed upon as I abseiled back down. Its certainly epic here.
