I was going to jump on this, but after seeing my mate struggle for half an hour decided to retreat. Apparently the anchors are very rusty so caution for those interested. (Apparently seems to be a big sandbag at 21 as well)

Bomaderry Creek Cheesedale Leftside
	26	★★★ Spicy Cheese - with gsmizz	Sport 25m, 8		Will Gregson
G wanted to try but it was filthy and had no chalk, we'd also forgotten the big brush. I was trying to clean it on the way up but when I got to the gaston flake by the 3rd clip I heard a crack. (It appeared to already be glued but I didn't want to rip it off) it would have taken all day to clean on lead so we bailed.

	17	★★ Mad Hatter - with Belle Hurley	Sport 20m, 12		Matt Hurley
Lost the second half of the route when the bolts dropped to my ankles (I think?). Realised I would have to back climb to clean without someone to follow. Still, easy climbing but fun with the exposure. Go for the 21 extension next time.

	19	★ Hugging And Fucking	Sport 12m		Jackson Allan
Thought this was blade flake, due to the 'flake 12' mark at the bottom. Figured the first bolt was the one at the rooflet... downimbed when it didn't feel 13 anymore and found the actual blade flake.

Nice climbing up to the last problem, that final move is tricky even in isolation. A fairly unpleasant and very committing sequence. Probably won't jump back on it for a bit.

Onsight to the last move, then couldn't do the last reachy move at all! Still felt 24 with the first crux. Stepping left into Super Weak is probably the way to do this for shorter people.
