20 in the old guidebook. I think thats fair. Slightly steep fist jamming into pure fingerlocks. A pretty good route which i am sure I've done before but didn't log. Lots of loose rock. Should have some of it trundled

The Sunny Side Shimmy Sheister Buttress | |||||||
23 ~24 | ★★ Waiting for Bobbo — 2 attempts - with David Gray | 10m, 3 | ★★ Very Good | ||||
Tried leading but stumped at third bolt. Despite trying every permutation, including as pictured in the guidebook I could not get the reach to the key hold. Every other move done, though often with twice as many moves as Dave needed, including a technical start for the short! Great name.

Felt harder than route to left, may be body size related

21 | ★★ Surprise - with Gerry Narkowicz | 10m | ★ Good | ||||
Great hard layback problem. The flake at the slab looks terrible but felt solid.

Best of the bunch. Technical and interesting the whole way.

24 | FA ★★ Sarlacc - with Nick Morgan | 16m, 5 | ★★★ Classic | ||||
Bolted yesterday afternoon, climbed this morning. Traverse moves are super unique and exciting and the arete just keeps giving to the top. Good fun! Plenty of bolts where you want them.

Another good easier trad pitch..with an exciting finish

The Sunny Side The Big Gully | |||||||
19 | FA ★★ El Camino - with Hannah Rose | 15m | ★★ Very Good | ||||
Cleaned and sent. Great varied movement in a cool position. The start roof moves are really quality. Hopefully I can work out the lower pitch which might need a bolt.
|
|||||||
11 | ★★ The Gully Route - with Hannah Rose | 27m | ★★ Very Good | ||||
If you don't like getting dirty this route isn't for you. If you don't like great fun, this route also isn't for you. Such and adventure, culminating in a wiggle through a hole in the ground. Epic!

Would be classic without the ledge. Feels right at 18 IMO

Quite the line. Can’t believe it was buried beneath the ivy for so long. Offsets and plenty of small cams for the win. Will only get better with time

|
|||||||
22 | ★★ Almost Mars - with Hannah Rose | 12m | ★★★ Classic | ||||
Excellent route. Looked at the gear as I rapped into the crag and glad I did because it is not super obvious. But definitely good. Could be 21 of not placing gear but feels on the hard end of 22 on lead
|

18 | ★★ Mars - with Hannah Rose | 12m | ★★ Very Good | ||||

25 | FA ★★ Vindaloo - with Hannah Rose | 20m | ★★ Very Good | ||||
Definitely recommended to rap inspect this one before getting on it. The RP and micro cam placements at the crux are blind and fiddly. The moves and rock quality are fantastic. Shame it gets a little close to Bautzen just to the right. Felt good the whole way!
