A bunch of stretchy moves and awkwardly placed bolts. My onsight ended a move before the chains with the type of mega body pump you only get on juggy-ish rooves with mediocre heels and weird stacked kneebars. It then took me a few goes to work out the final couple of moves - which area the hardest on the whole route. I didn't bother coming back for the second go...secretly I wasn't sure I'd actually tick it...

2nd go, perhaps used to be a jurassic pump, but there are multiple no hands rests which make it easier than rabbit trap imo. Great fun though!
	26	★★ Jurassic Pump — 2 attempts	Sport 10m, 7	Nowra	★★★ Classic	Igor Khudoshin	Sat 1st Jul 2023
Superb roof climbing requiring lots of core tension. Crux clip and draw are quite hard to use Gave it a second burn but didn't have the endurance. Awesome bouldery roofing

	17	★ Bubba The Love Sponge	Sport 20m	Nowra		Rod Smith	Mon 17th Apr 2006

Not too bad. Pulled through the start because I hate the stupid chimney and have done it once before, almost at the expense of my extremely sporty harness.
	25	★★ Rabbit Trap	Sport 12m	Nowra	★★★ Classic	Nick Cormack	Sun 29th Jul 2007
