21 22 | ★★ Lady Grinning Soul | 25m, 7 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Repeat. Not a bad warmup. A bit of a one-sequence wonder. If you disregard the copious amounts of glue on this thing, its not too bad a climb. Mingen undercling!

21 22 | ★★ Hang onto Yourself | 20m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Repeat. Direct start without pre-clipping the draw this time. More scary and balancy than hard. By the 3rd draw this one is over, but it's a blast getting there. Not 22 despite what the guide says.

21 22 | ★★ Lady Grinning Soul | 25m, 7 | ★★ Very Good | |||
One move wonder, definately a grade 21 move, surrounded by easier (but still pretty good) climbing. Undercling!

24 | ★★★ Holy Leaping Shortarses, Batman | 15m, 7 | ★★★ Classic | |||
Went easily second shot today, in the blazing sun with concerningly warm rock. Felt great, and mostly solid. Completely my style of climbing. Feels good to actually "project" (read: have more than 3 shots on) something, and get it. Completely worth the effort. Great piece precarious, varied climbing.

20 21 | ★★ Dr Do Little | 15m | ★ Good | |||
One section of hard-ish moves (20 is about right... the new guide calls it 21???) but its over pretty quickly, and the rest of it is cruisy. Makes a good warm-up, I guess.
|
||||||
21 | ★★ Starman | 25m | ★ Good | |||
Warm-up. Really easy for the grade. The crux move is quite distinctly harder than the rest of the climb, but it goes well enough.

20 | ★★ Changes | 20m | ★ Good | |||
Easy and pleasant bar one surprisingly bad hold. I was so surprised that I almost fell off in shock, but gritted my teeth and got my feet up. Good investment for the grade.
|
||||||
21 22 | ★★ Low | 20m | ★ Good | |||
Some funky moves, a bit strenuous and thoroughly enjoyable. Nice run-out to the top.
|
||||||
22 | ★★ Hunky Dory | 20m | ★ Good | |||
Other than the dangerously high first bolt, I thought this route was probably easier than "Low" next to it. Some great fingerlocks make for solid climbing/clipping. Good fun.
|
||||||
20 21 | ★★ Sound and Vision | 20m | ★ Good | |||
Pretty easy climbing (maybe 18/19) for most of it, then one sequence of 3 moves at about 21. Quite enjoyable for this section of bardens.
|
||||||
24 | ★★★ Holy Leaping Shortarses, Batman | 15m, 7 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Pulled on to see if I was feeling it... Can still do all the moves, and -strangely- only the roof felt hard (normally the easiest crux on the climb for me), but didn't feel FUN. So I took the draws off again and went off to climb other stuff.
|
||||||
21 19 | ★★ Mike and Lorna go to Town | 25m, 6 | ★ Good | |||
Easy for a 19 (as per new guide), even when its so bloody cold you can't feel your fingertips. Not bad climbing though, decent warmup.

24 | ★★★ Holy Leaping Shortarses, Batman | 15m, 7 | ★★★ Classic | |||
Clean on top rope, and felt solid the whole way. Should've made this another lead attempt, as after getting this on top rope I was too tired to deal with that cruxy footer near the bottom. Friggin' awesome climb!
|
||||||
24 | ★★★ Holy Leaping Shortarses, Batman | 15m, 7 | ★★★ Classic | |||
2 shots on lead. Second shot I struggled with the first crux (at the 3rd bolt) with a questionable footer that I kept falling with (is there a better sequence?), but then did it clean from there to the top (including the slab crux). Hard climbing with 3 distinct cruxes which involve different styles of climbing, but very rewarding. First 2 bolts are in a stupid position. Classic!
|
||||||
21 | ★★ Lady Grinning Soul | 25m, 7 | ★ Good | |||
Too tired at the end of the day. Seems like seriously tough moves to get from the 2nd to 3rd draw, but cruisy everywhere else. Next time I'll give it a proper shot.
|
||||||
22 21 | ★★ Lady Stardust | 21m, 6 | ★ Good | |||
Easy at 21 (as per the new guide). Dodgy to get to the second bolt, but well bolted after that. Good fun, not too pumpy, and climbs nicely.

17 16 | ★ Karinya | 25m, 7 | ★ Good | |||
Not bad. There are better climbs on either side of it, though.
|
||||||
18 | ★★ Jolly Good Fellow | 25m, 9 | ★★ Very Good | |||
For an easy grade climb, this is quite fun.
|
||||||
19 | ★★ Little Triggers | 25m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Quite sustained for a 19... A great deal of climbing for 25m or so.
|
||||||
19 20 | ★★ Go Lotto | 22m, 7 | ★ Good | |||
Mostly fairly easy, but a hard move near the bottom, and an reasonably challenging one at the top. The lower crux seemed to be giving a lot better climbers than me quite a bit of trouble.
|
||||||
22 | ★★ Hang onto Yourself | 20m | ★ Good | |||
Climbing to the first 3 bolts is fun, challenging and scary... After that it's a bit cruisy. Still took me 2 shots to commit to the crux.
