Slipped out of offwidth at start. Then went to chains. The undercling between bolt 1 and 2 is about to break, marked with an X. Stay in the offwidth as long as you can.

Moses' Tablet is prob better. The last 2/5 of the route are the most testing.

	17	★★ Fear no Evil - with Donny Brovado	Trad 40m	★ Good	Cormac Tooze
Engaging/ amazing crux lower down, but the rest of the route after is quiet vanilla.
	15	★★ Moses' Tablet - with Donny Brovado	Trad 42m	★ Good	Cormac Tooze
A good test.

	21	★★ Blade	Sport 26m, 12		David
Spicy at the top
	22	★ Anaesthesia	Sport 22m, 8		David
Cool crimping
	22	★ Anaesthesia	Sport 22m, 8		Ollie
Didn't feel like a 22. If you go direct to chains using the small face crimps at the end before the chains, then you can make this a 21.

The Pillar of Pain
	19	★★ Painkiller - with Aimee	Trad 26m	★★★ Classic	Cormac Tooze
2nd proper 19 OS on trad, supposedly hard 19 too. Better than Magnetic. Has a crack section that is uncharacteristic of SA climbing. So right up there with the best, Book gives it 4 stars but deserves 5. One of my new favorite routes!
