Not quite as good as its partner route (though better than anything on fossil or motorcross walls).
Couldnt do the start for too much slime, I think it would go fine if dry and clean, but it'll take a while to dry.
Did everything but the wet crux.

could probably be 20-21, great climb, tricky moves up top to anchor

20 | ★★ New Ways of Living | 13m, 5 | ★ Good | ||||
first half of the climb are great, bland once over roof part, but still worth it
|

22 | ★ The Dark Con of Man | 18m, 8 | ★ Good | ||||
pretty dirty, but fun climbing nevertheless, stick clip 1st bolt highly recommended
|

22 | ★★ The Memory Cathedral | 16m, 5 | ★★★ Classic | ||||
crux to second bolt, desperate hold to clip. Amazing climbing to the top with thought provoking move to anchors. So worth it, best climb here.

Really greasy in the middle break, has someone been eating cheeseburgers there?

10 | ★ Sapphire Bullets of Pure Love | 8m | ★ Good | ||||
Gotta be harder than 10! Yes, lots of jugs, but getting from the 1st to 2nd bolt is more like a 14?
|
|||||||
16 | ★ Istanbul (Not Constantinople) | 8m, 2 | ★ Good | ||||
Tricky for a 16. The pocket up to the edge was fine for my 5ft 10in, but the next move up to the flake/jug thing was tricky. Maybe I was confused by heaps of chalk at the left? Best to go straight up and aim for the furthest right hold on the ledge above the bolt.

Very happy to tick my first 23, particularly with an onsight. This route is absolutely great- fun climbing on excellent rock. Get on it.
|

22 | ★★ The Memory Cathedral | 16m, 5 | ★★ Very Good | ||||
Got this second try. Not quite as classic as Vitruvian Man, but still quite good.
|
|||||||
22 | ★ Kiss and Make up | 12m, 4 | ★ Good | ||||
Actually much better than it looks from the ground. One hang- would have got it clean with another go but didn't have time. The fixed biners on the anchors are heaps dodgy (corroded, flaking, and literally falling apart) and need replacing.
