With some TLC, this could be a classic in the same vein as Walking Wounded. Very thin and technical climbing up an appealing red face, broken up by two roofs, worth a lap.

So happy to tick this long lusted after route in good style. Cracker thin edge climbing with plenty of hard move splashed from top to bottom.

The completion of the Cosmic grade 25 triple crown... Excellent, classic thin face climbing, with some punchy moves and delicate feet. My toes hurt!
	26 25	★★ Letters to the Editor - with Rob Medlicott	Sport 25m, 6	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Paul Frothy Thomson	Sun 16th May 2021
2nd shot today. By far the hardest of the "Grade 25 Trilogy of Face Classics at Cosmic", and quite a fair bit harder/more sustained than Aesthetic Images. Very sustained, with four demanding cruxes, but all of the bolts are in really bad condition, and the runouts on this at two points are downright dangerous.

Pack your big balls for this classic. Just missed the Onsight, 2nd last draw clean, silly foot and slipped, doh. Defineatly back for this one!!
	25	★★ Letters to the Editor	Sport 25m, 6	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Vanessa Wills	Sun 22nd Sep 2013
With rest and an occasional pull on a drawer. Very painful on end of day fingers
	25	★★ Letters to the Editor	Sport 25m, 6	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Paul Frothy Thomson	Wed 2nd Aug 2017
2 laps. A brilliant route. Like Images, it is proper hard at the grade (like 1.5 grades harder than Toyland), and very runout, but stunningly powerful face climbing, with 4 distinct cruxes. Felt like I would put in a good showing on the 2nd lap, and had rad linkage... but the dyno in the middle (which I could sort-of-do on the first lap) totally shut me down on the 2nd lap, and is a bit of a deal breaker for me. The traverse in particular is engaging and demanding. I did a weird number of "foot hops" on this route.

Well that felt like a 27...

	24	★★ Junction City - with Will Vidler	Sport 27m, 13	Blue Mountains	★★★ Mega Classic	Harry Kadi	Sat 19th Aug 2017
Unbelievable route! Tricky start, but once you stick the throws your into the good quality finger jugs and crimps for 30m. Always feels better to top out on a route and is uncommon for blueys sport climbing! Also my first 24 in a day
	24	★★ Junction City	Sport 27m, 13	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	JJ	Sat 15th May 2004
Tough start, then cruizey

Wicked fun, first couple of moves a bit tricky but not to hard then great wall climbing that gets easier the higher you get..
	24	★★ Junction City	Sport 27m, 13	Blue Mountains	★★★ Mega Classic	Tim Haasnoot	Sun 30th Sep 2012
Tough start followed by some great moves up the wall on fantastic rock

Cool throws and moves through the first two bolts then awesome sustained crimping on good edges, a nice change to climb this style without worrying about snapping edges like the other day. A classic wall climb

Cool movements and a bit of a one move wonder.

Nice route crux first move than like 22 climbing.

Thanks to Hanna Kallweit for figuring out the moves at the start!
	24	★★ Junction City - with Roman	Sport 27m, 13	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Bert B	Tue 18th Aug 2020
Great line and spicy bouldery start. Get the feet high, hold tight on the side pull and you'll make it.
	24	★★ Junction City	Sport 27m, 13	Blue Mountains		Ben White	Sat 19th Mar 2022
Reachy crux move down low didnt feel too hard. The upper section is crimpy and sustained but delish
	24	★★ Junction City - with Robert Mudie	Sport 27m, 13	Blue Mountains		alyssa smirnov	Sat 15th Apr 2023
Wow that big first move was incredible. Just hit it with my tippy tip tips. This climb felt good.

Didn't tick the dyno first shot, found a static way to do the move, nice enjoyable climbing that eases up as you go higher
	24	★★ Junction City - with Sam Clark	Sport 27m, 13	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Ben Hanley	Sat 14th May 2016
got through the low crux kept going through to the top
	24	★★ Junction City - with Ben Hanley, Sam Clark, Tim Clarkson	Sport 27m, 13	Blue Mountains		Tom Collins	Sat 24th Jun 2017
Went down easily, fun and consistent.
	24	★★ Junction City - with Tom Collins	Sport 27m, 13	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Tim Clarkson	Sat 24th Jun 2017
2nd shot! Yeah baby!
	24	★★ Junction City - with Jason Lammers	Sport 27m, 13	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Matthew Glendenning	Sat 22nd Jul 2017
Great route. 2 punchy opening boulder problems followed by a beautiful long crimpy face with a glorious slot at 2/3 height. Old dog cleaned up
	24	★★ Junction City - with Hywel Rowlands	Sport 27m, 13	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	thara	Sun 4th Feb 2018
The crux is amazing! The rest kept me on my toes. It got a bit hot that my shoes start to hurt my feet.
	24	★★ Junction City - with Elliot Kals	Sport 27m, 13	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Kayla Peet	Sun 9th Sep 2018
Great face climbing that seems to go on forever. 2nd shot
	24	★★ Junction City - with Ryan Tranter	Sport 27m, 13	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Meredith Apple	Sun 9th Jun 2019
Second shot! Def hard start then slowly gets easier and you just need to manage the pump
	24	★★ Junction City	Sport 27m, 13	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Ryan Tranter	Sun 9th Jun 2019
Wasn't fully warmed up an fell at the first move. Lowered straight down and got it next go. Nice long pumper this one..
	24	★★ Junction City	Sport 27m, 13	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Nabor Andariza	Sat 19th Oct 2019
Big moves at the start, then crimp endurance long section
	24	★★ Junction City - with Bert B	Sport 27m, 13	Blue Mountains		Roman	Wed 19th Aug 2020
Few tries to figure out correct feet position for the first bolt crux then onsight to the anchors which gets easier as you get higher if you have endurance. Quite curious to know if anyone is using the side pull crimp out left to go direct (seemed hard) .. Or everyone is sneaking around a bit to the right and up after Forst bolt
	24	★★ Junction City - with Drew Ivison, Christopher, Fez	Sport 27m, 13	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Damien Boorman	Sat 16th Jan 2021
Superb face climbing up bullet rock. Blast through the low crux and cruise to the top on beautiful grade 22 vertical.
	24	★★ Junction City - with Matt King	Sport 27m, 13	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Luke Yerbury	Wed 3rd Aug 2022
Ended up doing a stupid big dyno to bridge the blankness. Racing the sunset to the top of the wall - lovely!
	24	★★ Junction City	Sport 27m, 13	Blue Mountains		Matt King	Wed 3rd Aug 2022
Excellent climbing, just a bit of a weird reachy start
	24	★★ Junction City	Sport 27m, 13	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Nathan Wilson	Sun 21st Aug 2022
Big move to start with then blissful climbing after, one move wonder
	24	★★ Junction City - with Dylan Glavas, Louis Umashev	Sport 27m, 13	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Lee Prescott	Sun 18th Dec 2022
Tricky start, couple tries to unlock then blasted to the top
	24 Easy	★★ Junction City	Sport 27m, 13	Blue Mountains		Caleb Skirrow	Wed 19th Jul 2023
Fell a few times at the first move but got it from there. Felt like a grade 24 move but since it's just off the deck one could easily argue for 23
	24	★★ Junction City	Sport 27m, 13	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Paul Frothy Thomson	Sat 11th Aug 2012
Second shot, had to figure out a sequence for the start moves. On the Send shot it was onsight from the 3rd bolt to the top. Really hard, sequency, start until you get to the third bolt, then it gets progressively easier all the way (with a few 22 and 21 moves thrown in for good measure). Really long, and bloody brilliant. Had tonnes of fun on this.
	24	★★ Junction City	Sport 27m, 13	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Jason McCarthy	Sun 21st Aug 2016
Warmed up by pulling past the first two bolts and climbing to the top. Sent next shot! Cool low crux moves and then just super fun climbing for miles!
	24	★★ Junction City - with Harry Kadi	Sport 27m, 13	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Will Vidler	Sat 19th Aug 2017
Surprised myself sending this on the draw retrieval lap at the end of the day. I thought my flu might overcome me and i wouldn't be able to hold it together after the crux but i milked a handjam rest and somehow managed to chug to the top. Lots and lots of fun climbing a route that is my anti-style.
	24	★★ Junction City	Sport 27m, 13	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Phillip Booth	Sat 2nd Sep 2017
Absolutely great consistent 21/22 climbing (30m of it!) guarded by a harder (and still fun) start up to 3rd bolt.
	24	★★ Junction City - with Ludek Sykora, Martin	Sport 27m, 13	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Vladi Eileen	Sat 25th May 2019
One move wonder at the bottom and walk about to the top
	24	★★ Junction City - with Paul Frothy Thomson	Sport 27m, 13	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Rob Medlicott	Sun 16th May 2021
Start boulder wasn't too obvious to me at first but got it on the second go. Quite fun after that too.

Really fun crux moves past the 1st and 2nd bolt. Took a bit to suss the crux but then climbed from the 2nd bolt to the anchor. Really long fun wall climbing. Will be back to get this one. Needs a rebolt.
	24	★★ Junction City	Sport 27m, 13	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Sami	Sun 2nd Oct 2016
Low percentage moves into nice climbing
	24	★★ Junction City - with Sami	Sport 27m, 13	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Eamonn	Sun 2nd Oct 2016
Wow, this route was a hard start. Pulled on the draw to get past the dyno! End of day climb in the dark and found the middle section to be great and balancy. Some cool moves at the ledges with high feet and small crimps. Great lead by Sammi!
	24	★★ Junction City - with Matthew Glendenning	Sport 27m, 13	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Jason Lammers	Mon 10th Oct 2016
Recon lap in the warm sun. It was getting too crazy hot for a 2nd shot of that cranky start. The upper wall climbing is amazing !!
	24	★★ Junction City	Sport 27m, 13	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Gee Rad	Sat 14th Jan 2017

Figured out begging crux and then had silly footslip...
	24	★★ Junction City - with Paul Frothy Thomson	Sport 27m, 13	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Will Vidler	Wed 2nd Aug 2017
Lots of fun - pumping at the end of the day.
	24	★★ Junction City	Sport 27m, 13	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Phillip Booth	Sun 6th Aug 2017
Stellar climb! Crux start (but fun) up to 2nd bolt then sustained face climbing the rest of the way and it just keeps going and going. First go putting draws on and figuring that crux out... not a lot of options Second go for the send and pumped out 3rd last bolt. Good endurance training so I'm happy!

So good to climb with the Bare Foot Bushman again This is an amazing route, and I am happy to have got the first long move and all the sustained 'post-crux' of this 37m wonder clean. Unfortunately I couldn't find out a way to stick the second hard move (the actual crux!), and not sure it will go until I become stronger or less fat! Better technique might help too... Thanks for putting draws up, Chris!
	24	★★ Junction City - with Bruno Alves Buzatto	Sport 27m, 13	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Chris	Sun 25th Nov 2018
Not a warm up Nice sustained climbing
	24	★★ Junction City	Sport 27m, 13	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Jenny Gao	Wed 31st Jul 2019
Cruxy start, then sustained crimp pulling for 30m. A bit of sun propelled me past the pump.
	24	★★ Junction City	Sport 27m, 13	Blue Mountains		Liren Wang	Mon 23rd Sep 2019
First bolt boulder, is really hard
	24	★★ Junction City - with Ben Hanley	Sport 27m, 13	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Grace Mackie	Sun 17th May 2020
Unsurprisingly came off at the start, but managed the rest. Probably should come back and do it again...

	24	★★ Junction City	Sport 27m, 13	Blue Mountains		Anton Korsun	Sat 26th Jun 2021
Wow this is good! Start is tricky as expected, but it keeps you on your toes (and heels) until you clip bolt 4. Speaking of bolts - this looks like a prime contender for some new ones! I have a few to donate if somebody rises to the cause.
