	19	★★ Flying Spectacles - with Gamad Katan 1 Sport 2 Sport	Sport 70m, 15		Justine Jenkins
This route is good but also contains loads of loose rock and is quite runnout, even with a rack. You want to be solid at the grade and the gear worth bringing on this to place would be a 1, .5, .2 and/or a .1.

First day of the sunrise series. Our attempt to climb a multi every morning before work first pitch was average compared to the second. Pretty convenient for a morning lap. Bring 8 bolt plates.

Two nice pitches of climbing. Route finding en route a bit hard just using the 2015 guidebook. An easy rap in and climb out, pretty efficient for narrow neck

Quite good varied face climbing. Really runout (and with bolts in weird locations), but it COULD be supplemented with gear. Clean 2nd P1 and Onsight P2. Both pitches felt rather tough at the grade.

Ok, but probs worth 1 star only. However, the winter coldness may affect my judgement here ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Me P1. Felt 19 on lead. George P2. Felt 20 on second. Broke holds - despite careful climbing - on both pitches.

Nipped around the top hard move onto the headwall, really need to go back and do it again. Hard 19 move, whole route should get 20. Very very good though
