Awesome climb

The face part which is supposed to be a 21 was still the crux.

Gotta be the best 17 on bolts I’ve done anywhere

Could have sent but was fretting about my damaged rope, i’ll come back for it after the trim

4th go. First 25! Probably soft but I'll take it 😂

More like a easy 22. The hardest part is the last face after merge with the 21....

One hung on the onsight attempt. A couple bigger moves but good holds all the way. Feels soft for the grade - hard to believe it used to be 26! Shame about the chossy stuff at the start and finish, otherwise good fun.

Really lovely moves on good holds. Well worth doing but no way is it a 23. The 21 it joins into felt harder to me...

fun climb

Great climb on small crimps. Gets hard after the roof

good warm up climb

Cool line - stars for uniqueness.

Great moves. Fluffed the onsight on final move.. gotta learn to relax more.

Good jams - average rock.

Was very tired on this one, but Andrew was watching so I didn't take

Getting quite tired.

Third go. Made the mistake of going again too soon and also trying to change up the beta to set up for the gaston. Comedy of errors. If I come back this should go after putting the gear up. One hang again.

Second go. Apparently it is possible to flub the move to the glued flake if you try to control it too much..

Flash attempt. Had good beta. But didn't hit the big gaston move and hung on the 4th bolt. Went to the top for a one hang.

Really nice route. Happy with the onsight.

Warm up.
