	21 ~22	★★★ French Cuisine — 2 attempts	Sport 18m, 7		Josh Parker
A solid climb with a tricky first two clips. After pushing through the pump and a tricky chimney sequence, I say it is harder than its graded. Overall, a really good climb.

I don't think good enough to do 25s in two goes, and comparing this to other 25s I've done makes this either a 24/soft 25. Classic none the less. #2ndgo

	25 Easy	★★★ Mutation in my Genes - with Lala, cinthy lorena jimenez silva	Sport 12m, 5	★★★ Classic	Nick Morrow
First attempt after ~1 year and got it first go. Very cool movement, no specific move is particularly difficult, managing pump and continuing to move through the climb is critical!
	23	★ Chk Chk Boom — 2 attempts - with Lala, cinthy lorena jimenez silva	Sport 12m, 4	★ Good	Nick Morrow
short cool crux section. Went left at the start, not sure it was the right line but up the middle seemed impossible

2nd go. Hang dogged up to check it out as the guinea pig for Marnus's flash attempt. I believe there is a harder variant if you continue straight up the slab after 2nd instead of going more to the left. Strong start sequence up to 2nd then mellows out.

The name for this route is quite accurate. Easy start leads to compression moves in the cracks with a hard transition into the main crack up to the rest jug. Then a multitude of big moves up to the victory jug by the 6th draw. Got this just before the rain arrives, but will have to come back as I did it quite sloppily

Cool, aesthetic line going up the crack then over the bulge. In terms of grade, moves are powerful and hard enough to be a 23 or a stuff 22. Almost got it first go but my foot popped off #2ndgo

Actually pretty fun. Just dry enough at bottom. Straight up the guts/crack through the low scoop makes that the crux.
	18	★★★ Tiger by the Tail - with Grant Johnston	Sport 11m, 6	★★ Very Good	John Pitcairn
Draws on until going left before the crux. Feeling good so why not? Clipped the crux bolt from the crack sidepull under the roof before going for it, like a sane person this time.

https://youtu.be/-Ss_P0wHt1M Such a beautiful route ♡ crimps, heaps of delicious slopers, sidepulls, a small pinch that others might have to throw for but with a high left foot and a twist I learned from Sophie I latched that thing under control! And a slabby top. So good 👍 👏 👌 🙌

	24	★★★ The Temptress (Temptress) - with Alex Popinga	Sport 15m, 5	★★★ Classic	Alexei Drummond
Red point. Third attempt. Another really nice line by John Newby at Frog Pond. The delicate technical crux is between the second and third bold. This is beautiful technical face climbing on slopers the whole way. After the crux there is some easier climbing if you know where you're going and don't muck around too much. Having said that you can see from the video that I muck around a lot https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVS8mkHaygw

Red point on my second go. I am getting the hang of this #2ndGo discipline. Just do a very careful checkout and rehearse the cruxes on your first go, take a good rest, refuel and then fire it off Really nice climb. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4svvidqh6SE
