All the overhanging, off-witdth crack training you need. Such a burly struggle from the sit start. Reached my high point again above the lip but couldn't get my feet on anything useful to finish....another heartbreak

V3 | ★★ Three Ways - with Ben Vincent, Volodymyr K | 5m | ★★ Very Good | ||||
Did the traverse a few times, first using foot looks at arm bars, second with crimps and third with underclings. Was pretty gassed generally by this stage and just couldn't pull onto the mantle.

V7 | ★★★ The West Face | 3m | ★★★ Classic | ||||
Crimps better than I pictured, feet worse than I pictured.
10/10 would punt again. Latched the last sloper a few times but not quite the good bit so no send today. |

V5 | ★★★ 50 calories in 50 seconds | 3m | ★★★ Mega Classic | ||||
I love this thing. It's such a grovel-fest every time and gives nothing. I had a bunch of attempts from the inverted sit start but no joy. I got the top clean on one attempt from the stand start. look forward to linking these

24 | ★★★ The Elver Escape - with Brendan Heywood, Benji Dutaillis | 5m | ★★★ Mega Classic | ||||

|

V5 | ★★★ 50 calories in 50 seconds - with Brendan Heywood, Benji Dutaillis | 3m | ★★★ Mega Classic | ||||
You get your moneys worth on this one. This grovel fest is an instant classic. Best attempt was my first go. Knee bars, stacked hands, shoulder jams, balancy feet, inverted moves and it's only 3m tall!

V6 | ★★★ Fight Club - with Ben Vincent, Benji Dutaillis | 5m | ★★★ Classic | ||||
An optimistic scouting missing turned into an attempt. It started sprinkling again by the time we got setup and only 1 proper burn, carefully stepping on the dry bits, but after a couple goes we were just sitting in the drizzle with soggy pads.

V2 | ★★★ The squeeze test - with Brendan Heywood, Benji Dutaillis | 1m | ★★★ Mega Classic | ||||
If anyone ever gets through this I will pay to see it. I spent at least 10 mins stuck upside down in this thing. Everyone had a crack. Hilarious and totally worth it. Tight like a tiger.

V5 | ★★★ Swingers Club - with Brendan Heywood, Benji Dutaillis | 5m | ★★★ Mega Classic | ||||
Got very close on first attempt. had high feet and hands and simply had to throw for the lip but couldn't take my eyes off my feet for fear of blowing...and then I did a big barn door and fell from the top on to no pads! Totally ninjared it though and didn't even break my ankles. stoked. Had a few more goes with pads better placed but I think my nerves were shot. Benji nailed it and found a key footer which takes away the dodgy barn door. Well done sir.

V5 | ★★★ Evan Stone - with Benji Dutaillis, Ben Vincent | 4m | ★★★ Classic | ||||
In mid feb there was a flood event and Evan's stone is now buried in debris, even worse than last time I cleared it out. There is a tree spanning the mini canyon.

V6 | ★★★ Fight club - with Benji Dutaillis, Ben Vincent | 5m | ★★★ Classic | ||||
This was wet, like dripping really wet. It would have been 2 or 3m under water but should have been drying out for at least 6 weeks so not sure if it just takes that long to dry (). Last rain was over 2 weeks ago.
