Ascents in Secret Garden as Retreat

With Sam. Nyeh. Boring as batshit

Fourth day of climbing, my body is starting to protest. An alarming snap and crackle in my left hand shut me down quick on this. Luckily seems to have just been a tendon sliding over a bone spur, or maybe a shard of rock in the pocket cracking.

Made a barnstorming start, then ground to a halt at the top of the tufas. Alot of wetness, plus the fact it seemed hard forced a hasty retreat.

Unfortunately completely drained in the upper part. Would be fun moves though

Tried till pass the crux. The tufss confused me so much! Might try again some other times..

Try til the crux and couldn't do it quite...

Climbed to the third bolt, then the 7a freed up, so decided to back clean this. Its a bit of a maze of randomly chalked up blobs and hard to read where to go
