The hardest 21 I've done to date, the first 4 metres is nails. One of those climbs you can be relieved about once you actually send it.

Surprise send, checked out the crux a few months back, but this was my first go on it. Felt this one in my fingers. It's bolted to be sent with the draws on, that crux clip is just a bit out of reach.

Went easily today, great climb. Still a bit harder than it should be with my short arms.

Second shot today. 5th total. You only get a couple of goes before the 'bowtie' eats your skin. Fell off on the first attempt with finger taped. Decided to go for broke without tape and it payed off!

	24	★★★ Zimbabalooba	Sport 20m	★★★ Classic	Paul Frothy Thomson
1st shot today placing draws after trying it almost 3 years ago. Almost an Alzheimers onsight... Probably the best ACTUAL 24 (ie. Not stupidly sandbagged 24-going-on-26) I've done at Nowra. Classy climbing with big moves on reasonable holds made easier with smart footwork and creative body-positioning. Sustained for the most part, and just genuinely great. Good to clean up this old dog.
