	21 Hard	★★ Falling Buttress — 2 attempts - with Simon	Mixed trad 20m, 7	★★★ Classic	Thibaut
Awesome, Chamonix style climbing. Techy traverse followed by great gear and finger jams in the corner. Cam placements: Red #1 and yellow #2 in the corner, then green #0.75 to protect the mantle onto the ledge. Broke a hold on the onsight attempt and came off, sadly. #2ndGo

	25	★★★ Arrested Development	Sport 20m, 6	★★★ Classic	David Jefferson
Classic Jeffo move - did a TR lap to lock in the beta and accidentally sent. Will be back for a proper ascent, but still chuffed to figure it out quickly.
	25	★★★ Arrested Development	Sport 20m, 6	★★★ Classic	David Jefferson
Took some time to figure out the best beta for both cruxes, pretty intricate.

Made it to the top with a lot of dogging. Super sustained all the way but a couple of definite cruxes

Happy to get this clean. Tenuous at the bottom.

Awesome route. Very tricky technical moves on the initial traverse (where I came off trying to do some tricky foot work), then some exposed moves on the arete up higher.

Way, way too cold and windy. Couldn’t feel fingers or toes. Keen to return when my digits aren’t numb!

	25	★★★ Birth Canal - with Richard Flinn	Sport 20m, 7	★★ Very Good	David Jefferson
I enjoyed this one a lot more today with stiffer shoes and without a cold. Flows nicely, but contrived to stay on the face at the top.

Nearly got the linkup first go, but foot popped near the top. I actually enjoyed this more than Birth Canal, as it’s more varied.

Came close on both attempts, but couldn’t quite stick on. Not my style at all, but probably worth returning for.

	21	★ Keepless - with Richard Flinn	Sport 20m, 6	Average	David Jefferson
Although the moves off the ledge through to the 3rd bolt are interesting, this route is marred by the fact that it is quite contrived, especially the top half where it would be silly to avoid the ledges out left. Served as a warmup in any case.
	25	★★★ Reincarnation - with Richard Flinn	Sport 20m, 8	★★★ Classic	David Jefferson
Nearly pulled off the onsight, with difficulty, but fell at the last bolt when I missed an obvious hold.
	25	★★★ Reincarnation - with Richard Flinn	Sport 20m, 8	★★★ Classic	David Jefferson
Managed to get it done second shot. This line serves up stonking stemming stances from bottom to top, with a bit of power and spice thrown in. Would be perfect I daresay once the holds (which to be fair are only 10 years old) clean up.
