	26	★★ Rubble - with Alex Popinga, Shania	Sport 14m, 6	★★ Very Good	Alexei Drummond
Bolt to bolt to the last clip. Got some beta from Conner for 4th to 5th which works well for me with a high heel out left. All the clipping positions feel good to me except 3rd
	26	★★ Rubble - with Alex Popinga, Shania	Sport 14m, 6	★★ Very Good	Alexei Drummond
Tried up to the 5th bolt again. Clipping 3rd still hard for me.
	26	★★ Rubble - with Alex Popinga, Shania	Sport 14m, 6	★★ Very Good	Alexei Drummond
Found nice kneebar for second clip. Third clip still very strenuous. I think my feet are just in the wrong places. Need to get a lot more weight through them. Some nice moves on this climb. Pity about the lack of an anchor

Sat 18th Nov 2023 - Jane Fonda Workout Wall
	26	★★ Melting Point Direct - with Alex Popinga, David Jefferson	Sport 30m, 10	★★★ Classic	Alexei Drummond
Third go. Climbed clean to the ledge. I was tempted to go to the Triple Point anchor after that and claim the FA of the link-up But after a rest I quested up the next couple of bolts. Good holds and great moves. Got the the undercling before a big move to left jug but didn't really feel like committing so called take.
	26	★★ Melting Point Direct - with Alex Popinga, David Jefferson	Sport 30m, 10	★★ Very Good	Alexei Drummond
Second go. Got up to the ledge and did the classic sit down and take in the view. Probably about 23 climbing to the ledge, technical at the start and a little more burly through the underclings. Climbs quite nicely I think. Felt self-conscious climbing off the ledge so decided to save the top for next tie-in.
	26	★★ Melting Point Direct - with Alex Popinga, David Jefferson	Sport 30m, 10	★★ Very Good	Alexei Drummond
First go. Didn't make it to the ledge Couldn't find the feet for the undercling moves.
Wed 15th Nov 2023 - Jane Fonda Workout Wall
	26/27	★★ Joint Enterprise - with Alex Popinga, David Jefferson	Sport 29m, 11	★★ Very Good	Alexei Drummond
After watching David on it, I believed a little more. I still managed to have a torrid time on the lower section. Wasn't in the best head space, didn't trust my feet, overgripped way too much. But I was pleased that when I got up there I could do most of the moves in the upper crux, which is definitely where the grade comes from. Despite not having a great time on it I somehow feel it is possible. It would probably be a long project.
	26/27	★★ Joint Enterprise - with Alex Popinga, David Jefferson	Sport 29m, 11		Alexei Drummond
Perfect cool and grippy conditions for a look at this off-balance and slimpery Roland Foster route. For the first go I just worked my way up to the upper crux and didn't have the mental energy to find the tiny holds needed to proceed further.

Had a brief look at this. I need better beta or finger strength for clipping. Steep stuff is not really my thing.
	26	★ Super Glue - with Alex Popinga	Sport	★ Good	Alexei Drummond
Apparently we got misled onto Shrubble while trying to figure out this line. Might have to have a second look.
