Desperate attempt to flash but so ridiculously pumped that I couldn't clip the last draw. Great climb

The retro-flash attempt ended the same spot as the flash - going for the final big pocket.

I had decided to clip the last draw from the pocket, but got there and the right arm wanted to chicken wing up. I tried to clip it from the rail above and fumbled it, so thought I best go clip the anchors. I could have put my tongue out and licked the anchors draws but could not let go for the life of me to clip them. No sauce left in the bottle it seems. Took a massive 10m+ whipper, which was surprisingly fun. It Scooby-Doo be like that some days!

Pretty much the only extension that wasn't wet, could barely see Ben through the clouds at the top. Quite juggy but still somehow ended up stupidly pumped by the end. Exciting finish!

Got very pumped and ran out of juice for the top. Nice to be able to have a sit down rest before the climbing gets hard.

Clean repeat, this time placing draws. The entire extension to this is excellent, sustained, technical steep climbing, with an engaging finale. More "rests" than Sanction of the Victim, but more complex cruxes.

Nice 24. Long, pumpy with rest exactly where you need it. Before or after the crux. Almost onsite. 1 Move away from the anchors and something went wrong.

A blinder of a route! A mission to set out on with stack of draws and a full bag of endurance! Hard to see the anchors before you get to the last few bolts when you are blowing chunks!

Really great long route with rests where you need them. I thought that lower 18 was heaps fun and the last few metres of the 4 pulling between the headwall jugs wicked.

2nd shot today. I was misled by a red herring tickmark on my onsight. Not as sustained as the other hard routes here, but featuring 4 very different and challenging sequences between good rests, culminating in a gymnastic steep finale to the anchors. I really enjoyed this route and wasn't all that concerned about having to give it a 2nd shot for the tick.

Awesome. Read the lower crux wrong, hung around and got stupid pumped. Fell off after the little roof.
