Browns Road Courtyard Area | ||||||
21 | ★★ PTTP - with Grace | 8m, 1 | ★ Good | |||
Fun little climb. I led it using the single carrot which doesnt really protect the top but the moves at the top are pretty easy so anyone who can get past the bottom half should be okay to top out safely

Pumped out about a metre from the top on the flash attempt and lunged for the jugs at the top when I should have used an intermediate hold.

24 25 | ★★ Fat, Sallow and Drunk - with James | 20m, 5 | ★ Good | |||
The first two thirds is fairly easy probably around 18 but the last third is very hard. I could do the first couple of hard moves at the last RB but the moves after that to the anchor look impossible for me
|
||||||
18 | ★★ Muscoviet Mosquito - with James | 15m, 5 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Probably an alzheimers flash as it's been probably five years since I last climbed it and I couldn't remember anything. Really nice route though and a good one to warm up on
|
||||||
22 | ★ Kiosks - with James | 12m, 3 | ★ Good | |||

16 | ★ Snoz Saddler - with Grace | 8m | ||||
Had a large (5kg +) rock fall from the top of the cliff as my partner came down from climbing this route. It would have hit her in the head and could have killed her if I hadnt seen it falling and pushed it away with my hand. Needless to say be careful when climbing here and helmets might not be a bad idea!

|
||||||
19 18 | ★ Boundary Rider - with Grace | 10m, 5 | Average | |||
Stayed left at the top so I guess 19? The start is overgrown with ferns and covered in mud so I started on wall thing and traversed in to meet boundary rider at the second bolt. Pretty dirty but some good moves nonetheless
