onsighted P1. froze my ass off at the belay for an hour after Leigh realised he needed a pre-climb weight loss/toilet stop. Icy immobile muscles led to a fall seconding P2 after committing to wrong beta. will have to come back for the full tick

Memorable. P1 - veg. P2 was excellent climbing. P3 start was fairly perplexing initially but managed to find some on-grade beta. P4 - Got up into the roof proper and essentially gave up - poor form - aided a 2m section and then freed out the last squeezy sideways section, taking my helmet off mid squeeze.

Tye led the first 2 pitches of Watchtower Crack in a single long pitch. Which shortens P2 of Skink for me. I led P2 and P3 of Skink.
On P3 I went a bit wayward (got lost) , did a few big moves over some overhangs to get to the rappel anchor (which is ~20m R of the intended top out).
To future leaders of this pitch ... Stay left after the crux move!

Lack of tip skin or strength or something meant I couldn't stick on one crack hold after placing gear, had to devise a sequence in from very slightly left. It's all over after that. Ran it all the way to the top with stupendous rope drag.

Started off by opening a new "direct start" by climbing the disgusting looking crack instead of the slab on P1, proposed vegetation grade: 4. Had a bit of a moment on pitch #3 when I bumped off a bolt plate with my knee followed by my questionably placed "maybe would hold body weight" cam blew out too when trying to downclimb to the carot.

Morning shade a must. Bring Big John Silver. Lots of cams. Need 2 bolt plates for moves on pitch 3. I lead the start, nice slab then a meandering corner with an interesting steep move. Steve bossed the last two pitches. Tricky roof squeeze traverse so preferably no backpacks. Wave to Mr Chicken. Last pitch started fun, then crux (big silver) was scary. Fist jam is life. Jammed left foot into the crack as well. Thrutchy. Was at my absolute limit. Spare a thought for your second and place a piece in the leftmost crack after the crux (large cam?). I didn't like thinking about that massive swing if I fell on the crux. I wished I had chalk.

linked 1+2, which was pretty sane. the #5 was fairly essential to make P3 sane, and the #6 was nice to have for P4, although you could make do without and just have a slightly spicier time. absolutely glorious upper pitches

Excellent climb, airy with spice. First crux on the third was intense, and then fell seconding the 4th pitch at the crux. Dropped kroma and biner...recovered both on first belay ledge.

What an absolute mega-classic! Favourite climb of the trip. Linked pitches 1 and 2. Walked a #6 cam up the fourth pitch, whilst further stitching it up with other slightly smaller gear. Definitely aided the mental game on perfectly sane moves that felt rather spicy at the time.
