24 ~24 Celestial Journey - with Josh Sowter
1 24 35 Second lead by Josh Sowter

The peapod section is a paper thin crack on an wide open book. After numerous free attempts, aided on a small nut.

2 22 15 Trad lead by MarkSurfi

Crux is higher up in a blank 70° open book, off width with no crack. After numerous attempts, aided on a cam.

3 24 30 Second lead by Josh Sowter

A beautiful slightly slabbed, mostly blank face. Committing start above a ledge with big moves to tiny rails. Almost clean on second but my rubber had melted on the toe and could not stick the high feet.

4 20 10 Trad lead by MarkSurfi

A good short pitch with a clean potential fall. Delicate holds, big moves to thin rails. A piton gives some confidence.

5 22 20 Second lead by Josh Sowter

A good but committing crack with some spice at the end.

6 21 30 Trad lead by MarkSurfi

Route finding is hard around the crux. With some beta the crux move is good.

When comparing to other sections of Wolfberg and Cederberg, the assigned grade doesn't seem to fit. For example the 20 pitches are significantly harder than the Energy crisis 20 pitch - of which the crux lay back is fairly short and not technically difficult - and other 20s in the area.

Crisis was set in the same year so it doesn't seem that time has softened the grading.
