a few options down here and a bit too dark/pumped to complete any of them.
	V5	★★★ Blokus - with Brendan Heywood, Benji Dutaillis	Boulder 6m	★★★ Classic	Ben Vincent
Another splendid Gara surprise
	V3	★★ Three Ways - with Brendan Heywood, Benji Dutaillis	Boulder 5m	★ Good	Ben Vincent
a little contrived but a fun challenge with a little bit of commitment for the top out
	V4	★★ Tumble Jumble (Cave problem) - with Ben Vincent, Volodymyr K	Boulder 3m	★★ Very Good	Brendan Heywood
It was dark and I thought I was already done but the psyche was high and the single shared headlight kept us going. I mostly did the very torquey crux moves through the roof a few times and fell off chopping the hand jam in on the right. Somewhat contrived but a really awesome cave roof problem.
	V3	★★ Three Ways - with Ben Vincent, Volodymyr K	Boulder 5m	★★ Very Good	Brendan Heywood
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.
	V5	★★★ Blokus - with Ben Vincent, Benji Dutaillis, Volodymyr K	Boulder 6m	★★★ Classic	Brendan Heywood
Took a bit of figuring out but such a great problem. This thing is such a cool find despite us looking at this block before and dismissing it. Maybe 10 attempts and was close to leaving it for next time.

Did this thinking it was The Landing Zone because I didn’t have service and couldn’t remember what it looked like or where it was hahaha. Still a nice problem though

	V3	★ The Sickle - with Ben Vincent, Benji Dutaillis	Boulder 3m	★ Good	Brendan Heywood
Hard start move and then balancy stand up and done
	V2	★ The jug tunnel - with Ben Vincent, Benji Dutaillis	Boulder 3m		Brendan Heywood
	V2 V1	★ The Hammer - with Ben Vincent, Benji Dutaillis	Boulder 3m	★ Good	Brendan Heywood
More or less a nice extension
	V2	★ Side pull - with Ben Vincent, Benji Dutaillis	Boulder 3m	★★ Very Good	Brendan Heywood
I thought this would be really spicy but the left side is too close. A wild hard sit start could be possible off a little crystal pocket
	18	★★ Death roof - with Ben Vincent, Benji Dutaillis	Trad 6m	★★ Very Good	Brendan Heywood
This cleaned up fairly nicely into a pure crack problem without the features to the left which we thought would be needed. Could be a couple variants. All over in 2-3 moves but still good fun. Still not sure I'd want to solo boulder it.
	V3	★★ Chicken Cacciatore - with Ben Vincent, Benji Dutaillis	Boulder 1m	★★ Very Good	Brendan Heywood
Pure finger licking good chicken wings. Left side in, tried right side with no luck

Had 4 attempts and super happy to tick this again. Got through the offwidth part all 4 burns. Need to remember to take the fan during summer, still hot underground
	V6	★★★ Fight Club - with Brendan Heywood	Boulder 5m	★★★ Classic	Michael Moore
Finally got on the infamous fight club. Twas a lot of fun, managed to get the moves sorted.

	V7	★★★ The West Face	Boulder 3m	★★★ Classic	Michael Moore
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	★★ Riverside reflections - with carol lee	Boulder 4m	★★ Very Good	Brendan Heywood
Had a couple goes, hot and weak and my pads were fairly shredded and my left toe nail was whinging. Got to the first crux

Cascade boulders Below the bridge
	V4 V5	★★★ Shawarma - with carol lee, Volodymyr K, Dom, Sophia	Boulder 3m	★★★ Classic	Brendan Heywood
First go didn't get off the ground. Second go did it static. Third go did it the smoothest I've even done it and eliminated the side pull in the middle for a really wide gaston power move probably V5. Classic
	V2	★★ Barbie Twist n Turn - with carol lee, Volodymyr K, Dom, Sophia	Boulder 3m	★★ Very Good	Brendan Heywood
Every single time I've jumped on Shawarma I've meant to jump on this and we just always get too frothy and forget. A nice little route and now a good warmup.

	V1	★ Harry Potter's Scar - with carol lee	Boulder 3m		Brendan Heywood
	V4	★★ Red licorice - with carol lee	Boulder 3m	★★ Very Good	Brendan Heywood
I first tried this 11 years ago! We intended to just have a look at this and then chase some underground shade at FC, but then we thrashed ourselves for 4 hours straight, maybe 20 attempts? I was done numerous times: left hand was swollen from the jam and right tips were shredded, but psyche kept regrowing. In the end some new subtle beta eliminated the jam altogether. Super stoked and quite unexpected. Now it just needs a proper start on the underclings, the two moves into where I started will likely bump it up to around V6-7

One of Gara's best! Sick send train arvo ;-)
	V5	★★ Riverside reflections - with Brendan Heywood, carol lee	Boulder 4m	★★ Very Good	Ben Vincent
A sweet find, creek side in the shade complete with a couple of alternate finishes!
	V1	★★ Turbot St Exit - with Ben Vincent, carol lee	Boulder 4m	★★ Very Good	Brendan Heywood
	V4 V5	★★★ Shawarma - with carol lee, Ben Vincent	Boulder 3m	★★★ Classic	Brendan Heywood
I was pretty smashed by this stage but nothing like a bit of peer pressure and some send-train to spike the psyche enough to forget how much your fingers hurt.

	V3	★ Riverside rejections - with Ben Vincent, carol lee	Boulder 2m	★★ Very Good	Brendan Heywood
It's funny that this was the first thing we imagined on this rock, but then got so obsessed with the traverse we only did this today, and still only as an afterthought. But it is an obvious warmup for the full traverse, and is still a worthy problem in its own right.
	V5	★★ Riverside reflections - with Ben Vincent, carol lee	Boulder 4m	★★ Very Good	Brendan Heywood
Had a great session working this and got the start really dialed and was consistently doing all the traverse. Have also done the Benji finish but was just too juiced to link it all together. Lost a bit of skin. Felt just smashed afterwards.

	V3	★ Botanic gardens - with Ben Vincent, carol lee	Boulder 4m		Brendan Heywood
	V3	★★ Lost Lamington - with Ben Vincent, carol lee	Boulder 4m		Brendan Heywood
So I thought I'd done this before but it wasn't in the guide, so maybe a FA. I think its a better quality route than the thrutch fest
	V5	★★ Riverside reflections (Riverside project) - with Ben Vincent, carol lee	Boulder 4m	★★ Very Good	Brendan Heywood
This is a sick little find, a hard gritty traverse / compression with sting in the tail

	V6	★★★ Fight Club - with Benji Dutaillis	Boulder 5m	★★★ Classic	Brendan Heywood
Had a couple burns between Benji sorting it the 3rd ascent. Happy to get to the crux again twice but my tips were feeling a bit abused after the time off

	V3	Gritstone tombstone - with Benji Dutaillis	Boulder 3m	★ Good	Brendan Heywood
It's a quite cool problem but bordering on type 2 fun as its very gritty. The sit start will be exponentially harder. A family of 9 stopped to watch and all the little kids yelled psych as I topped out

	V6	★★★ Fight Club - with Brendan Heywood, Benji Dutaillis, Katrina	Boulder 5m	★★★ Mega Classic	Ben Vincent
I surprised myself by remembering the beta! Plenty of psych from the crew and even the mighty Gara chipped in with some post-flood froth of it's own for the occassion.
	V7	FA ★★★ 7th Rule of Fight Club - with Brendan Heywood, Benji Dutaillis, Katrina	Boulder 7m	★★★ Mega Classic	Ben Vincent
A high quality burly number! Had gotten close on previous attempts but managed to hang in there long enough this time, think more about my foot placements and push through it. Plenty of send-train psych and action out here today!
	V7	★★★ 7th Rule of Fight Club (Fight Club Extension) - with Ben Vincent, Benji Dutaillis, Katrina	Boulder 7m		Brendan Heywood
Had one tired burn coming out of the crack, have some weird ideas about cutting sick and doing an inverted foot lock and topping out in reverse
	V0	Warmup - with Katrina	Boulder 2m		Brendan Heywood
	V6	★★★ Fight Club - with Ben Vincent, Benji Dutaillis, Katrina	Boulder 5m	★★★ Classic	Brendan Heywood
Last session we wanted to scout this, but the bridge was 40cm under so we never got here. Now 2 days later the water had receded but we assumed it would be wet as the flood a week ago peaked roughly 4m above fight club! It's been almost 3 months since I've tried this, or anything at all over the rainy period. I pulled on, and could barely move and then grunted and sagged off feeling very weak. Everyone else had a go, then I silently pulled on for the second go, and all the muscle memory returned and I flowed smoothly through the first crux, got the double inverted feet, plugged the next couple hands, then ended up doing a different sequence through the crimp to touched the nose to finish ... And then just like that it was done Almost anti-climatic and it's easy to forget how much of a battle it's been unlocking this, around 40-50 goes over 8 sessions but it feels like longer. New shoes really show how utterly trashed my old ones are, they are at least 16 years old, unsure how many resoles, and have served me faithfully. The Scarpas are dead! Long live the Scarpas! Later on I worked the extension a little, which Ben put up today as well

	V5	★★★ 50 calories in 50 seconds	Boulder 3m	★★★ Mega Classic	Ben Vincent
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

Cascade boulders Evan Stone area
	V6	★★★ Fight Club - with Brendan Heywood	Boulder 5m	★★★ Mega Classic	Ben Vincent
First proper session on this unique and burly piece. For much of the 3 hours we were here it was sprinkly mist above yet FC remained dry. Worked the start thanks to Skippy's hard earned beta and got myself into the jams which felt way more comfortable than the more marginal crux sequence. Elated to get the send but dampened a little given Skippy was all but on the send train before pulling up just short after a very solid session.
	V6	★★★ Fight Club - with Ben Vincent	Boulder 5m	★★★ Classic	Brendan Heywood
Another misty drizzly day, early start with 5 pads and a rope not sure what we'd do and FC was in good condition. A wicked super session, after only one or two attempts and I was back to my furthest point again - and for all the other attempts I don't think I ever didn't get back to this point, the first crux is now dialed. After Ben showed the way I got on just after the first crux and linked all the remaining moves to the nose-twiddle finish on my first go, and after that I thought I had it in the bag as I could now do every move. Tried linking it from the start, and then again and again, with longer breaks and more prep between them slowly mangling my fists and ankles and draining the energy reserves. After one really long rest refuel and complete re-tape I had one last burn and gave it everything, and got further than ever, only 3 moves from the finish, but was totally spanked. Got some wild toe and shin cramps afterward. Heaps of hand, wrist and ankle bruises, right wrist is quite swollen now. Masochism as its finest

	V6	★★★ Fight Club	Boulder 5m	★★★ Classic	Brendan Heywood
Solo mission with 3 pads and a portable fan. It started sprinkling as I packed the car and I drove through a couple showers. The rock was still good and had a great sess with more than a dozen burns and another foot of progress. Past the crux (first?) and into decent fist jam rest and inverted. Another 2 foot of slightly flaring hands and fists remains. The sky opened as I packed up and I walked out in drenching rain.

	V5	★★★ Evan Stone - with Benji Dutaillis, Jonny	Boulder 4m	★★★ Classic	Brendan Heywood
A lot of debris at the moment, needs another good excavation. Got it second go but the stand start takes out the hardest move.
	V6	★★★ Fight Club - with Benji Dutaillis, Jonny	Boulder 5m	★★★ Classic	Brendan Heywood
Another scout just to see how spoogy it was, totally mint so shoe'd up and ended up progressing to a new hight point all the way to the fist jam and then tenuously matched. Was right on the index knuckle, if I'd sunk it just an inch deeper I think it would have been done!?

After the uninspired start to the day, I was stoked to jump on and statically move through the crux first go and essentially fell of the top in surprise. Got it very smoothly on 3rd go

	24	★★★ The Elver Escape - with Brendan Heywood, Benji Dutaillis	Deep water solo 5m	★★★ Mega Classic	Ben Vincent
Had one go at this as it started spitting and slowly fell away in no-mans land. Good to see Benji get oh so close.
	V5	★★★ 50 calories in 50 seconds - with Brendan Heywood, Benji Dutaillis	Boulder 3m	★★★ Mega Classic	Ben Vincent
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!

	V3	★★ Dagobah - with Brendan Heywood, Benji Dutaillis	Boulder 10m	★★★ Mega Classic	Ben Vincent
Such a good number to bring on the burn. I find this a pretty hard route to flash as a warm-up cause of the intense flash pump. Got it on my 4th attempt and again on the 5th
	V1	★★ Yoda's mantle - with Brendan Heywood, Benji Dutaillis	Boulder 3m	★★ Very Good	Ben Vincent
A little mantle practice in-between Dagobah runs.

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.
