	19	★★★ Ventura Highway - with Kiera Montgomery	Sport 85m	★★★ Classic	Toby Jackson
Super fun, and nice to do it quickly. A brief moment of insanity had me come off my ATC before clipping in to safety when abseiling, hopefully not something I'll repeat again. Kiera had a nice strong WTF reaction which subsequently lead me to safety.

Accessed via rapping from Jugzilla, I have no regrets and it was fun! If a bit dirty. Plenty of foliage thriving in the crack.

Lots of good jamming - foot jams, hand jams, leg jams arm jams. You also don’t have to climb it like a crack, lots of jugs on the side of the crack

First pitch can be considered a hard hike, second pitch is the money pitch - huge 3D chimney abundant with features. Final pitch is short and punchy with a nice steep finish on bucket jugs with the entire bay underneath your feet. Two 70m ropes allowed us to rap down in a single descent, a fantastic finish for this multi!

What a lovely day out climbing and trying hard with friends. I thought none of us would get it after struggling on our second day, but on Sunday morning we all managed to secure tickets for the send choo choo I found that I could span to skip all of the tricky crimps, so maybe this is a little easier if you have a 190+ span
