Amazing balancey little number. Every time I placed a bolt plate it felt like I was having mild heart attack. Don’t bother with top pitches, MQ finish is way better.

Linked together with Dress Rehearsal Rag p1. 30ish meters of good climbing.

Definitely a sand bag, but a fun one with a really unique "devil horns" hold.

Fun slabbing (although a little short to do just the one pitch). Didn't seem wildly off grade, there was one move at mid height where being longer most likely helped.

P1 only. Tried to go up the original P2 as well, but after campusing around on the first few metres of climbing (and clipping the first 2 manky carrots) I was too pumped to keep locking off and stabbing for holds trying to figure out where the route went. P1 is short but greating climbing, and only "desperate" if you're short. A great warm-up.

Really funky in a wicked position. Probably harder than 21 though. The opening roofy moves are campusy fun, and lead to thin and technical climbing. I made a dogs breakfast of the crux, but after 10min flailing around like an idiot, I got through it... Pumped senseless.

Some how thought this was the 17....it wasn’t ended up down climbing and taking gear out
	16	★ Fairy Tales - with Paul	Mixed trad 13m, 2	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Matt Short	Sun 14th Dec 2014
Nice route, a bit heady. After the first 2 bomber bits of gear it can be a little trick to place another bit of 2 before the bolt, after that it is bolt, bolt and straight to the top.

Not sure about the statement about it being desperate for 17. I found this fairly straight forward, just enough holds to make a great route.

Lots of little wires. I tried to avoid stickclipping the only very high first carrot, but then backed off and stickclipped. Which was a bit of a mission in and of itself.

Excellent extension to dress rehearsal rag. It's not over till it's over. Powerful through roof but thin near the top.
