Fun and engaging climbing. Next time, need to not stop moving midcrux because I'm a bit scared, then I would just get pumped and scared at the same time (not good).

One of the most impressive and beautiful bags of sand I've come across! Absolutely stellar crux which is easily as hard if not harder than Supercal. The crimps are so small that even when you climb up and stand on them they make poor footholds! Very keen to come back and try again when it's not in full sun. Extension looks mega!

Took a wanger on the first bolt then figured out the sequence and got it next try. Quite hard for the grade. Very slippery crimp to a long reach around to a nice pocket. Then extremely easy climbing from there.

Quite nice climbing with my favourite belay ever. Sick little cave

Very cool moves on a slopey arete. Super cool position.

An awesome sequence through the crux, in retrospect a little fatigued after 2x days of multi. Took a hard catch on the 2nd clip and messed up my right foot, was able to push through and work all moves to the top and clean.

Gosh where do I start. We were all freezing, but the sun came out after the morning rain and I was feeling good to send the pitch, despite rain clouds looming. Got through the first (pumpy) roof section and out onto the face, when it started heavily snowing/hailing. Got psyched out, fumbled and fell on a reachy move. Decided to bail as the top would have been soaked, luckily had dual ropes so cleaning was straightforward.

Extremely thin, reachy, crimpy. Felt much harder than the pitch above, maybe a few holds have come off, or maybe it just demolished me.

I dunno. That last move? Use the arete and it's way under the grade. Stay to the line and it's a total sandbag. Is the 20 just an average of the two?

A confusing route and i left after the first pitch. The starting moves seem about 21 ish (compared to other routes at this crag) and the bolting means that any fall will be potentially dangerous. This is the first time i have used a cheater stick to clip the second bolt from the first. I'm not sure if a hold has broken or it was always like this, but not a very pleasant start. The rest of the pitch was pleasant, easy arete climbing, but quite run out. Cant say i recommend it.
