	20	★ The New Purgatory	Sport 10m, 3		Chris Bailie
Sandbagged. Felt bloody desperate at 20, even for granite slab and accounting for the conditions. Couldn't make much progress so jugged up in the end to get the rope down.

linked moves to 3rd clip, feels doable, someone really went to town with the tick marks :') had to override my every instinct, bc the ticked feet felt terrible for me some of the ring bolts on/around this and on the rap station above seem like they aren't countersunk far enough? not sure

	14	Cuniculum	Trad 12m	★★ Very Good	Mohamad Haddara
Top rope solo. Hard for beginners (comme moi) had to use microtaction device and prusik for backup for the most of the climb, guess for those with desk type job they need to get outdoor and train their muscles had a fall but fall protection device saved me

Land of the Overhangs Land of the Overhangs Boulder
	V4	★★ Housebreaker	Boulder	★★ Very Good	Zach Azeez
Such a cool little crack. Committing footjam before final handjam then lip jug. If you're coming off that's where and ropeless the fall would be completely out of control. So high commitment. Maybe one day if it gets super solid on the rope solo setup. Needs more sends so get at it!

Fun and a little awkward jugs.

With rest. I think could be 24 but needs more ascents. Sharp but fun line.
