Woohoo! Second ascent, and for sure my hardest climb ever. 20 shots this year, after trying it for a LONG time 4 years ago and giving up. It was great to make a come back on this climb. Did the start nicely, rested well before the scoop, aced the scoop, rested badly and got pumped on the slab and tried really hard to not fall off for the rest. Was kinda close to falling off getting the knee bar clipping anchor in, which would have been heartbreaking. Thanks to Susy, JJ, Nick, Alex, and Lee.

Improvement! Wasn't able to try the start today, so did some work on the top. Climbed from the second bolt on the slab to the top, twice!! Excellence.

Just tried the start. Conditions were very average, and it was HOT. Only tried a few times, but probably a high point, as I held the dyno slightly better and just slipped off. Bummer!

Couple of shots today. First day back on after shoulder injury. Feels okay. I am week though. Some moves on this are shitting me, especially the top section with the toe hooks. CORE DO YOUR JOB AND KEEP ME ON THE WALL, K SANKS.

Had a terrible first shot, where I took a bad fall on the slab dyno and than proceeded to fall my way up the route. My next shot I did some good work on the start. I am optimist I will get this soon, although it could be otherwise.

	31 32	★★★ Bite The Hand That Feeds	Sport 23m, 10		Matt Schimke
Went and worked out the top a bit more. Static it is. Way better than the jump move. Skipping last bolt as well makes things easier. Came down and tried start a couple of times, falling just before going for dyno which was okay. Tried mantle, but I can't for the hell of me remember how I used to do it, so I figured out a different way which works, but is really powerful. Ah well.

Totally stoked with todays effort on this. Firstly I went up and relearnt the top, which was a bit of effort, but did it all without too much hassle. Second go I tried to link from the 'ledge' to the top, but failed. THird shot I did the scoop crux cleanly!!!!! And came down and ALMOST ALMOST got the very start, falling just missing the horn as the rope got in my way. So stoked to do every move now after only two days back on it. Its feeling doable, and I am finally psyched for coolum again!

First time on this for over three years!! I actually am really psyched on this. Did really we'll on the start, almost got it. Couldn't do mantle at third bolt, and couldn't do the scoop crux, although its close! SICK!

Best shot ever I reckon. Very nearly did the start, just missed the horn. From there I went all the way to the last crux, did a silly mistake and fell. But every part of the climb felt so bloody easy today. A bit of wind and the holds all feel like jugs.

Bowl moves, got both feet up, but didn't seem to help much.
	32	★★★ Bite The Hand That Feeds ((Summer Project - Lee))	Sport 23m, 10		Lee Cujes
Finished bolting and gluing today. Temp bolts to be removed. Mucking around with the bowl moves, nailing my triceps. Not even close. However, did solve the top section completely, it's great.

	32	★★★ (Summer Project - Lee)	Sport 23m, 10		Lee Cujes
Drilled most of the U-bolts today. About five tries at the start, decided to pursue the left option rather than direct to the horn which is "impossible".
