The first pitch/section of this route is outstanding, unfortunately the bolt placement is horrendous. Unless you are 6ft tall. The top pitch climbs well, but isn't as crimpy or turned on as the first. Still a great route overall and definitely worth a lap or ten.

Too good. Warmed the fingers up on a 25 at dca wall ('jack finally sandbagged himself' - yim). Hart agreed to belay, i think without knowing how long the pitch was. The muddy start (yeah im blaming the mud.. all the other hang dogs do) knocked me off the traverse, but after sneaking through, i enjoyed a smorgesboard of delightful slabbing moves through to the novelty finish laybacking up the thrustblock and a better-not-fuck-it-up left leg knee bar in the block to rest. Lying around with everyone at chasing amy reminiscing in the memories of slab heaven.

Enjoyed this so much! It's just an absorbing climb from the moment you leave the ground. It just keeps going, and continues delivering some great sequences to keep you engaged with a couple outrageous moves thrown in the mix. Definitely one of my favourite 23s in the mountains.

Nik almost onsigthed it on an epic battle while I did my best but I felt like a Persian against the 300 Spartans. I need to improve before I try this again. It is too committing to just go there to practice it.

After been super intimidated I still decided to give it a try on lead but I wasn't able to pass the crux with the pocket. I had to stop trying before I got injured.

Clean Repeat. Just the first ~30m (to the lower anchors) as a warmup. Even better than I remember! Damn, this has to be one of the best 3 23's in the Blueys! You know its good, when it's so cold I can't feel my fingers, but I'm still frothing the climb!

Tough session coming back to it. Forgot how to do the first few sections. Ended up off route, left of and above the pair of bolts. Panicked there for a while before attempting the traverse. Thought I had made it before I slipped and took a monster fall, where Zi Hui Lie got hurt, catching me. Recovered and made it to the next bolt but no further.

This climb definitely lives up to the hype. Every bolt I made it to felt like my biggest achievement in climbing. Spacing of the bolts is both the worst and best part of the climb. Chickened out and stick clipped the one above the crux. Only to the halfway anchors today.
	23	★★★ The Mind Boggles - with Zi Hui Lie	Sport 40m, 18		Patrick Sparks
Went for a proper attempt, ending up having a fall at nearly every bolt, including some pretty big ones. Mind was definitely boggled by the time I got back to the ground.

	23	★★★ The Mind Boggles	Sport 40m, 18	★★★ Mega Classic	Greg Blachon
2nd shot. Could this be the best climb in the known universe? Ok maybe Im too stoked, but what a sick climb, I can’t believe it doesn’t get more traffic, a real hidden gem, and clearly one of my favorite climb ever. On the downside, its a bit scary to abseil/lower off this small shackle on the top anchor!

	23	★★★ The Mind Boggles	Sport 40m, 18	★★★ Classic	Paul Frothy Thomson
Great! One of the best at the grade in the Blueys. More like a pitch on an adventurous multi than your conventional sporty slab climb, due to length, variety, stop-start nature and general wanderiness. No particularly hard moves (for a gr23 slab) but quite sustained, and those top moves could definitely spit you off. Thoroughly recommended.

Only managed to get up it with some gravity assistance, 100 rests and some power gurning. Amazing slab route which is very sustained at the grade for the first half of the climb, and some really tricky moves at the top. Awesome.
