Moonlight Buttress
	25	★★ Echo Base	Trad 18m	★★ Very Good	pamelalansbury
I've wanted to do this ever since I watched Adam nab the first ascent of this. What a great line.
	24	★★ Armstrong	Trad 15m		pamelalansbury
Man Garth is a machine! Giving this a 24 is hardcore. I'd say it's on par with Echo Base if not harder!
	22	★★★ Bad Moon Rising	Trad 16m	★★★ Classic	pamelalansbury
What a Hillian classic! Seriously good movement!

Clean, just.
	25	★★ Echo Base	Trad 18m	★★ Very Good	Adam Clay
Decided to lead it, despite not having the crux completely wired. I was really happy to grab the FLA today, as it was never a foregone conclusion and the fall clipping the draw at the crux would not have been pretty.
	25	★★ Echo Base	Trad 18m	★★ Very Good	Adam Clay
Took a lot of falls working out the moves
	23	★★ Red Dwarf	Trad 18m	★★ Very Good	Adam Clay
One shot, end of the day, ran out of time to free it, nice route, deserves at least a star
