Nice with big gear

Solid, with good gear. Not sure what the direct is? Presumably I wasn't on it.
	19	★ Calvary Road Direct - with Ashlee	Trad 13m	★ Good	Chris	Wed 23rd Dec 2015
A little hard, but good fun.
	19	★ Calvary Road Direct - with Mel Lecompte	Trad 13m	★ Good	Kate Bailue	Sun 26th May 2019
Thin gear third of the way up, then good good rest of route
	18	★★ Two Drops	Trad	★★ Very Good	John Obermeier	Tue 13th Apr 2021

My favourite one for the day
	17	★★ Shanks' Sandbag - with Grant Johnston	Trad 14m	★ Good	John Pitcairn	Mon 8th Feb 2021
Good but not 2 stars. Shitty unprotected start, dirty crack detracts up top. The rest is great.
	15	★ Stoneage Romeo - with Ashlee	Trad 14m	Average	Chris	Wed 23rd Dec 2015
Thought I was doing Shank's Sandbag.
	15	★ The Two of Us - with Tom Buckley	Trad 15m		Match	Sun 14th Oct 2018
Fun little line
	15	★ The Two of Us	Trad 15m	★ Good	Jesse Callaghan	Sat 25th Jan 2020
One cool move, rest of climb is very straight forward.
	15	★ The Two of Us - with Grant Johnston	Trad 15m	★ Good	John Pitcairn	Mon 8th Feb 2021
Made it harder for myself by fist jamming the crack at the "bouldery" bit. But also more fun.
	15	★ The Two of Us	Trad 15m		Barry O'Reilly	Sat 6th Mar 2021
Cool boulder section. A little committing
	13	★ Victory - with John Colin	Trad 15m	★ Good	Angela Hewlett	Tue 9th Feb 2021
Fun moves and a bit exciting.
	13	★ Victory - with Angela Hewlett, Grant Johnston	Trad 15m	★ Good	John Pitcairn	Tue 9th Feb 2021
Harder than it looks. Nice lead Angela.
	18	★★ Number of the Beast - with Angela Hewlett, Grant Johnston	Trad 15m	★★ Very Good	John Pitcairn	Tue 9th Feb 2021
Memorable and sustained, some funky positions. Can be tricky placing gear down low where the blocks are dubious, and at top where the rock seems soft. Not really any harder than Calvary Road.
	18	★★ Room To Move - with Tom Buckley	Trad 14m		Match	Sun 14th Oct 2018
Retreated due to lack of good gear before the offwidth and no gear for 7m to the top as i Left my #6 back in oz
