25 | ★★ Hermaphrodite Hamster | 20m, 6 | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Sun 28th Sep 2014 | ||||
Exploratory lap. Thin as, bro... And bloody sharp at that. The "crystal crimp" crux hold is malevolent. The main crux involves a lot of moves on tiny edges, for a mere 5m of upward climbing. Totally doable in cooler temps and with skin on my fingers. Worthwhile, and a touch different for a Blueys slab and one to come back to for sure.

25 | ★★ Hermaphrodite Hamster | 20m, 6 | Blue Mountains | ★ Good | Sun 8th Feb 2015 | ||||

Realllly quite hard but actually pretty awesome pure slabbing. Figured it all out and I think I could do it without too much effort, but oh boy is it insecure, and reachy. I also contrived myself quite hard to make sure I was having a full value slab experience. There is a spot or two (especially at the top) where the climbing becomes more escapable. Tried it twice on TR.
