	21	★★★ Valkyrie	Trad 33m	★★ Very Good	Vanessa Wills
Felt pretty soft for the grade, and I’m not just saying that because I seconded, Dave felt the same.
	18	★★ Sticks And Stones	Mixed trad 33m, 4	★ Good	Vanessa Wills
You wouldn’t want to not on sight this. A fall would be rather dramatic given the spaced bolts and crap gear
	17	★★ Slush Puppy	Trad 25m	★★ Very Good	Vanessa Wills
Pleasant warm up
	20	★★ Climb & A Half	Mixed trad 34m, 1	Average	Vanessa Wills
The first half was nice, then we went around arete quite high, above final bolt on Fidelity. Dave put some side runners in the crack, otherwise the snap factor seems too risky. Definitely not a classic.

	17	★ The Technician	Mixed trad 35m, 1	★ Good	Josephine Roper
The hand jam crux had a bush, and above the bush was all full of leaves, and the face holds were slim, and in short I gave up and traversed over to a gully for the last few metres. The rest of the climb was fun and interesting, probably even that bit is fun and interesting if you’re mentally ready for some leaf removal

	18 19	★ Feeble Man (Squeaker) - with Daniel Smith	Trad 30m	★ Good	Genevieve Kieseker
My lead attempt but was already feeling pretty gassed and sore from the big weekend. Rested heaps on the way up, wanting to give up at several points but ended up finishing the route in the end. No idea how that happened, but glad I pushed on!
	18	★★ Thunderflash-Ready link-up - with Daniel Smith	Mixed trad 42m, 1	★ Good	Genevieve Kieseker
This felt hard even on second! Quite sustained, especially in the second, bolted half. Can imagine it to be a scary lead. First RB is placed in an awkward position. Then follow 3 more RBs on thinner, face holds to get to the DBB at the top.

Great climb (on second!) Lots of places to rest, and protection was good on the way up. Fun!
	13	★ The Technician V & VF - with Daniel Smith	Trad 40m	★ Good	Genevieve Kieseker
Not sure if I went the right way or not... Climbed into the big cave then went out left. Protection was decent but beware of thin flakes and loose rock - helmets are NECESSARY.

Big run out 3/4 of the way up, gobbled nuts and small cams. Rock reminded me of Arapiles

	17	★ The Technician	Mixed trad 35m, 1	★★★ Classic	Thomas Gissing
Fantastic route! Eyeballed it from the ground without the guide. Funky moves through caves, stemming, jams - has it all. Good gear too. I didn't see the bolt but it felt adequately protected either way. Ended up finishing the climb by climbing the back of the detached pillar as an offwidth/squeeze chimney to step across to a tree belay 5m to the left. No gear for last 8m but you won't fall out of that chimney anytime soon. Thanks for belay Chris!

Very contrived, but like a lot of contrived climbs, great fun once you get into it. Awesome featured slab/face.
	17	★★ Ghostly Hand	Trad 15m		Alex Mougenot
Awesome fun. Rapped in from the top.
	17	★★ Big Mac	Trad 30m		Alex Mougenot
Pink pointed off of Omri's gear after he ran out of cams before the chimney ... and man, what a sick chimney! Climbing was average (but fun!) up to there, but wow.

Got to the 2nd bolt after a few falls. Will become a lot easier once I learn to read this rock, I feel. Great moves. Can't wait to do the rest!
	17	★★ Slush Puppy	Trad 25m		Alex Mougenot
Super enjoyable. Don't need cams on this one. Reminds me of Frog's cracks and structure, and Upper Ngungun's rock.
	17	★ The Technician	Mixed trad 35m, 1		Alex Mougenot
Kwan led and did half of the handcrack at the back left of the cave, then stemmed out to the top of the pillar to Slush Puppies' wire belay. Super interesting.

Attempted eliminating any bridging moves. The overhanging crack is awesome, but I ran out of skin on my hands. Finished the traditional way. Great climb with a spicy finish.

	17	★ Mexicana	Trad 60m	★★ Very Good	PattyD
I think this is the route we climbed, headed left at the top of Rocks Of Honey first pitch and up into the nice crack system in the centre of the highest section. There were a couple of committing scary moves down low with OK gear. the crux might be getting over the bush at half height!
	16 17	★ Rocks Of Honey	Trad 60m	★★ Very Good	PattyD
Flaring 3 sided chimney on the first pitch is an excellent, really technical climb that requires a fair bit of thought. Good gear all the way. Headed left and linked into second pitch of what I think was Mexicana, aesthetic long crack system up the centre of the highest part of the wall.
	16 15	★ Mettiste	Trad 60m	★★ Very Good	PattyD
Climbed the first pitch of this with leaning hand crack, then went around the arête on the right up to tree and continued to large ledge up thin corner which might have been second pitch of Rocks Of Honey. First pitch is great with good gear and hand jams. Second pitch was really good as well what ever it was but scary for the second because the traverse is very hard to protect for the second.
