Cool climb, crux is hard! Didn't get to spend much time on it as a huge storm front was coming in and didn't wanna get stuck on the wall.
Made the right choice cos we got stuck under binary cave for an hour whilst lightning was striking all around us! EPIC

Fantastic climbing. Josh worked out some great right hand bump beta for the crux and I naturally repaid him by punting like an idiot. Figured out some more static beta by crimping some very incut crystals. Keen to come back!

Repeat attempt, not clean today. Still not a huge fan, as the route would be gr23 but for 2 moves. Fell off at the crux a bunch on the retro-flash until I remembered my sequence, then it was easy. Sustained thin face climbing to a briefly diabolical crimp crux.

Really good climb.
First go to put the draws on and try the moves.
Second go not as good as I wanted to.
The Crux didn't feel so hard but it's gonna be challenging to link all the moves up.

first time back on the route after attempting it 3 or 4 years ago. I had remembered there being a thin section up top but it was so much thinner than i remembered! Had quite a bit of trouble figuring out how to get through but ended up being in the foot beta. might be able to get this if i was to hop on it fresh.

2nd shot. First was a retro flash attempt, and I fell off with my fingers on the end-of-crux finger jug. With the beta refined, the 2nd shot felt tough but solid, and I'm happy to finally get around to ticking this obscure nemesis. Super-sustained techy face climbing leads to a substantially harder shut-down crux. I solved the crux with some tricky footwork that made it balancy, but not powerful. The challenge to working this route is the knowledge that you have to battle the bottom 18m again

3 shots. The first was a throwaway (I ended up getting frustrated with the upper crux when I couldn't find a sustainable sequence and bailed off the climb). 2nd shot -with some AndyBeta for the crux- I almost stuck the last crimp before the finishing jugs on link. 3rd shot I fell off down low (just too tired after all the recent climbing) but went okay to the top after that. Probably 24 before you add the crux into the equation, and is generally great thin wall climbing.

Thanx for all the beta Mitch..
Surprisingly I didn't think this was that hard?? Sustained 23ish to a sick boulder crux up top, I found a different side pull at full reach that made it easier. Great rock.

Sustained and tough UNTIL the crux... which is bloody nails. My flash (placing draws) ended at the 2nd-last bolt (the crux) and it took a few falls before I could put together a sequence. Great, tough, thin climbing on good rock, but linking the crux into the rest of the climb will be pretty hit-or-miss for me... desperately unfathomably thin. A short person might like the crux move.
