Interesting, moderately technical start, with the climb getting constantly easier as it goes on. Easy at the grade, but unique for The Freezer. Makes a really good warm-up.

A bit gritstone-ish with a crux that's easier if you're tall.

Really good climbing, crux down low then balancy jugs to top. Thought-provoking.

Thought i'd have a go at something new, while it cooled down, around the corner. I didn't mind this, its not great by any means but not shit. I screwed up the crux though. Couldn't see where to go and ended up too far left, oops. Clean it up next time.

End of day lap with a couple of hangs down low. Nice but for one very sandy ledge
