Really nice climbing all the way, with some interesting sections to spice it up. Getting into the traverse is delicate, but the holds are all there. Be ready for some chimneying at the end of pitch 4!

18 Son of a Preacher - with Aaron Sport 24m, 6 Good
Linked this with Blessed Be The Chooks for one long pitch. Hard mantle move down low, then some interesting laybacking to the top of the climb. Little bit of bush bashing gets you to the start of the next climb, well worth linking them up.

 
19 Paleface - with Aaron Mixed trad 25m, 3 Good
Nice little variation to Pale Rider, interesting moves left to the fixed hanger then some balancy moves to the top.

Tricky getting established into the crack, but quite nice once you’re in it.
