Just the first 40m but split in 2 pitches. I lead up gorgeous splitter up the first 15m. Lovely jams! Al led the second pitch with some tricky wide sections that again had me lamenting large-handed men. Near the top, I left the crack for a bit somewhat accidentally and did some sidepull face shenanigans before rejoining. Heaps of fun!

18 Rajah - with Sean Peters
1 Trad lead by Dean

Clean to first ledge (4x #2, 1x #1), finding the #1 thin hands section the crux. Belayed (with #3 + overcammed #4) Sean up to reclaim the gear. And dempump my thumbs.

Wasn't breathing too well on the next pitch so relinquished the onsight and took some rests. Started by bumping our remaining #3 up until plugging in the #4 and followed by medium cams. Stepped right into the V then back left at the rooflet. Anchor with #.75 and #2 between another party's gear, though another #3 would have been good.

2 Second lead by Sean Peters

Charged up to the roof section then pulled it with a high right foot. Sean ran out of gear toward the end. The guidebook's claim that the rock quality at the top is "relatively good" is rubbish: the right side was aptly termed "weet-bix" by the locals and a many holds on the left flexed too.

In general, a pretty taxing climb that (along with the long approach and exit) left me sore. The hands jams were quite taxing since they were often deep, baggy and (especially with both feet in the crack) required pulling on to stay close to the rock.

Split the first into two pitches to share the lead. The most ridiculous hand crack on the first. Then a surprising amount of face-ish bridging on the second.

Fell off once at the start of the first crack and then had to have a rest about halfway up the same section. After that the rest went. I had a long rest on the first ledge and then struggled up the last section. An amazing climb with bomber hands and a interesting second section. Rapped down after the first pitch.

Proper crack!!! Got spooked on the first section so brought Nick up to recover gear then I kept trucking to the top. Top part felt much easier or perhaps I was warmed up, and didn't even end up needing the yellows I recovered from lower.

Incredible crack climbing! Pure splitter with great hands. Only did pitch 1 and broke it up into two pitches due to gear (was fine with doubles of #2's, #3's and #4's, with a lot of bumping!). Great hand jams on the first 15m and then some interesting crack with some face/layback on the second half.

Clean second and third pitch. Rested on the first pitch (short, 12m) when jamming on bruises got to be too much. Third pitch is chossy and takes a lot of 1/2/3 cams, probably best to skip it like everyone else does
