Had to poop. Probs scared considering the epic time I just had on its neighbour. Then it was time to go home. Oh well, until the next rainy summer's day in two years time (my current Binary Cave visit frequency)

Climbed the first two (linked together), then ran out of light and had to bail. Some beautiful moves and some dodgy rock, a bit more of a mixed bag than expecte really. The first pitch was quite classic, but the second sucked really. Will be back to check out the upper pitch later.

Found the 20m juggy grey wall below a small orange overhang. Grade 5 lichen jugs, ledge at 6m, vegetated crack at 8m so could be pro enough to go. Made 3 moves and retreated.

Seems pretty plank at the first pitch, not sure if there just some holds broke, or this is just a little thin.

Last climb of the day, will come back with more light and time.

Had a scope out and got one draw higher. Really ups the difficulty from the first move off the anchor! Looks mega and one to come back to when I have a little more wizardry!

Pulled a damn muscle in my neck as I was going up from the 3rd (?) bolt. Think it was the combo pressing down and reaching up move. Had to bail. Keen to try again next time.

Hmmm, pretty solid! Had to bail, as neither of us could work out the crux, after crossing over exile and its probably 25 to there...

Made an after work attempt with Alex during a (slightly shorter than anticipated) break in the rain this week. Cruised up the first pitch and started on the second pitch just in time for the heavens to open up. I got drenched in seconds as the climb turned into a waterfall. Bailed off a ring and we rapped back to the ground

Thought I'd done about a grade 26 crux only to get cruxed out at the next bolt, ended up back jumping to clean. I think I could see a way but who knows, good climbing but dunno if I'll be hurrying back.
