24 Orochi - with Paul Frothy Thomson Sport 55m
Match
First shot of the day very consistent with a redpoint crux right at the last roof a mere 45m up!

Awesome rock and location

First ascent- came a lot easier than king Geedorah.

This route slowly wears you down… yes in isolation it’s easy. Going for the full pitch adds the punch

25 Ookondoru - with Match Sport 50m, 15 Classic
Paul Frothy Thomson
2 shots. I had a pretty good (tenacious) onsight attempt, but the mid-height crux took me a bit to figure out.

On the second shot, I ended up linking from the initial traverse no-hands rest, to the top, through all 3 cruxes. I'll definitely come back for the true send, because this is a great climb!

Like the other routes here, this thing is quite continuous and sustained. Yet this one quite definitely has 2 thin and technical cruxes to keep it interesting.

Awesome, continuous face climbing, with no obvious "stances" to break up the pitch. Seconding Mitch clean to exit the crag. Fairly sustained, though with no pronounced crux. Great rock, rad moves... the start is all time

So rad. Keen to send it on lead!

25 King Geedorah - with Paul Frothy Thomson, Jared Anderson Sport 70m Mega Classic
Match
This is one of the best experiences of my life: finding this route, developing it, and putting it all together for the send.

It may just be a piece of rock; however, this experience represented something much more potent in my life. I cannot describe what that is, yet I now understand.

TRS Lap -seconding Mitch after the FA. Not clean today (2 falls) but given that I'd been on the couch for 5 months to this point, I was happy just to try really hard.

Most of my post-accident re-introduction to climbing has been tame, approachable, conventional crags. Being back on this monstrous monster is the sort of experience that reminds me why I've been trying to claw my way back to climbing so desperately. What a way to come back.

I made some mega links on this monster and sorted out the 10m long flake crux that finishes with a mono gaston.

Same-day TRS repeat (clean) to climb out. Dreaaaaaaaaaaaamy.

Gentleman's Sit Flash. Flashed with a "gentleman's sit" at a no-hands rest near the top. Mitch's draws and beta (super key for the start) with little/no chalk on the route.

Wow... Just... wow! Like Subliminal, but for climbing connoisseurs. This thing is destined to be a classic, especially given the relatively easy approach. Probably 23/24 after the first 10m, but it simply never lets up its entire 70m length. Even the top "Grey rock" headwall is tricky and awesome.

Best of all: it completely makes sense given the fact that there isn't really a "stance" to rebelay until you're almost at the top. Rope drag was fine as well.

An utter joy to climb.
