Both cruxes are fun. Easier than Lollapalooza for me, seems most people find Lola easier than me though. Hard to believe there is a two grade difference. EwBMI is 675.

Another great route, climbed to the final roof clean but then lost my cool. Need to expose myself to roofs more I think

Amazing climb, climbed it clean to the final roof. Where my lack of roof climbing got the better of me, managed to do all the moves but took a few attempts just to get over the nerves. Will come back for it

big sandbag. you will get kerfuffled if you think this is a 17. it is simply not a 17 - at the very least not by the standards of the other 17s right next to it by the same FA, one of which I lead happily in jandals, this had me swearing.

A bit of a scary runout up the candlestick! Confusing at the top, I went to the anchor up and right as the guidebook said, but missing the final overhang might've been a cop out?

v1 start into delicate but equally burly nonsense, squeezed immaculately between the actually climbable features of the two climbs on either side. spaced out bolts on the crux with honest groundfall potential from a decent way up.

I am five foot bugger all though. Maybe an 18 if you ignore the start and wander onto the other features? Stonking climb.

Should be fully bolted already, no need to put any gear. Or am I too confident to go up without enough protection?

The face climb is not very good. A bit hard to see which hold is good and some hold are very dusty. After the face climb, the bolt run out so much. The ceiling is fun and easier then expected.

I had done the low sequence of Changes of Time earlier, but I’m still claiming the flash as the crux is the roof. Thanks to Robbie for the beta and for hanging the draws. Hardest flash to date!

Got close to the onsight, but botched the sequence at the roof. Went easily second go. Great climbing overall but would arguably be better if it finished below the chossy roof at the low anchor.

First climb of the day so I didn't want to crank the crux crimps at the start. Touched the holds once then pulled through to 3rd draw and refreshed my memory up to the roof. Had a few goes on the roof trying to imagine a bit of pump but once I got over my fear it felt not bad.

 
25 Changes In Time - with gsmizz Sport 25m, 10

Took extra draws to swap out the rope shredders that I put on earlier as I thought I'd have to work out the start again with warm fingers and dog again. Went amazingly smooth and I ended up sending it without much worry or pump.

Had a good rest just before the roof, messed up my beta slightly but still hit the glory jug over the lip and somehow was too pumped to hold it, fell as I was swinging my feet right and got some nice hang time! Power endurance is a must for this thing.

Thought I might have been too pumped after the first go but I rested for over 3 minutes below the roof and made a few moves more efficiently and went all the way up and over the roof! Great climb!
