Sweet! Second go. Screwed up the crux sequence and took a whipper at the top after I didn't find a helpful foot left of the crack at the top. Things went almost perfect second time around.

Awesome pitch. Might only get 10d on some other areas because of all the no-hamds rests, but still great. Easy gear, lots of wires and cams <0.5. Hard finish if you go the wrong way.

Super hard, and would be a super sketchy lead. Tough bottom, pretty sustained, with a crux finish. Just as well the top rail is positive!

The guide is right. A little burly at the start, but generally fairly easy after that. Unlike most other climbs, the finish wasn't very wet of dirty!

Some slightly crappy gear near the start, and a super wet, slippery and dirty topout made this the most exciting climb for the day.

Start was seeping a bit, but most of the important bits were dry. Great fun first half, then a reprieve before some nice ring locks in the easier upper half.

Super fun steep finish. Will repeat each time I come here.

Took a couple of goes to figure out the crux, but got it! Nails move into the crack above the horizontals

Surprisingly good, and more technical than it looks from the ground.

Excellent climbing with good rests and gear. Would be best to do in a single pitch, but had already used most of my thin stuff down below. Upper corner didn't feel any harder than the crack below, just intimidating with the ledge below. Great wires in corner.

Need to try it when it's dry. Moving from the finger crack traverse into the final crack was definitely harder than 10c without that hold.

Awesome moves on amazing rock. The only thing detracting from it is not very good bolting through the middle crux section - potential fall onto ledge. First half can take several small-moderate wires and cam to 0.5BD. Climbed second shot after mis-reading the crux first go.

Got the middle pitch. Got worried rapping down it, and completely missed the first bolt. Had a slip traversing past the second bolt and nearly grabbed the draw, but just managed to restrain myself...Burly!

Led pitches 3, 5 and 7. Great transition going from climbing a big dihedral, slowly changing to a slab over 7 pitches.

Great, with excellent bolting in cruxy sections. Led all pitches, linking pitches 4 and 5. Would be best to use a roller biner and 120cm extension on last piece of p4 if linking. Had over 20m runout on p5, but easy ground. Moving from the flake onto the slab is great, but make sure you aim for the bolt with the ring on it, NOT the lower bolt! Traverse on p2 was tricky, and didn't clip the last bolt on lead, but clipped it for the second.

Crux turning the lip. Almost came off, but jammed the arms in deep enough

Great lead by Alex. Just over vertical and doesn't give very many good rests. Tenuous, off-balance layback crux up near the top, with flared crack below.

Pitches 11 and 12 as part of Stairway to Heaven. Alice led runout p11, I led p12. Slightly tricky getting off belay, then mostly a ramble to the upper crux roof. Crux is moving to the roof, not turning it. Well protected cruxes.

Start was a little more tricky than expected, and the crack was thankfully a little easier! Just held it together turning the lip.

10c in the guide. Thought the crux was over and then found the real crux...Placed a wire at the start of the corner, then another after the 2nd bolt.

Awesome climbing, had me working up to the last jug.

Has a few enjoyable pitches interspersed with a lot of pretty ordinary ones, making it seem like the aim is just to get to the top, not climb great rock. Guide book gives it 10b, but I'd say 10a considering the first and last pitches.

Great little line with plenty of bomber small wires when you leave the cams in the car...

Felt harder than Arrowroot, but still excellent climbing. Super well protected after the start.

Good quality clombing mostly 5.9, with a couple of harder moves the the first 15m.

Ringlock upper section unless you have small hands. Save some 0.5-0.75 cams for the top. Careful lowering with a 60m rope- will need to downclimb last couple of metres.

Not that amazing, but still fun. Continued up to Tiny Testicles anchor to try to help with cleaning, but ended up cleaning the lower half off the Put Off By Lichen anchors. Get someone to second!

Fiddling around with gear to the crux, plugged two wires and the blue alien in, but top wire alone was bomber. Good, technical climbing with no real power required.

Only climbed to Bellygood, but led everything except the two 5.8 pitches above the 11a. Linked the next two 10d pitches together, would be much better with roller draws, and if the corner crack wasn't dripping!

A few broken crystals, minor slips, and completely trashed shoes, but managed to stay on somehow.

Very fun climbing, but make sure you pull down, not out! Would not be a good lead climb with so much loose flake.

Wow. Quite the step up! Super long pitch with long sustained sections of super shitty finger locks. Completely wasted by the time I got to the top. Well worth a TR solo, as long as you don't screw up the sustained first 10m and hit the ground with rope stretch.

First pitch only as part of Stairway to Heaven. Good, fun climbing with a couple of reachy moves. Stepping left a near the top was quite a stretch!

Only did p1 (10a). Amazing pitch of climbing. The select guide says this is 40m, but is actually just under 30m.

Awesome, and with solid gear. 0.75BD and smaller cams, with good wires too. Hard mantle at the top.

Second shot. Took too long trying to place gear after bolts on first shot. Gear is completely bomb-proof, and not that hard to place once you figure out where! Yellow metolious in finger crack, which is easily passed.

Started raining on the walk to the crag, but pretty easy until having to commit to stacking at the top. Could be nice to have two #3 or #4's for the top.

Pitches 1,2, and final pitch. Moved onto The Scenario in the middle.

Was thinking of leading it, but the rope was already up, and I was a wee bit scared of the bit before the first bolt. Excellent larger nuts and 0.75-2BD in lower part, and possible 0.5-0.75 up left just before the last move.

Beautiful rock, but crux was all wet, making it pretty tough.

Awesome little sections, would get 3* if it was more sustained.

Really nice crack. Most of it climbs as 10a, just the one little cruxy section

Good fun. Took a bit of figuring out in the crux section!

Got pitches 1 and 3, both great fun. On pitch 2, we continued past the anchors to belay at the base of the corner - much better for drag. Found pitch 3 the most technical.

Got the 10d pitches. Awesome. The traverse into the crack on pitch three really got the heart pumping, but the crack above was great. The crux for all of us seemed to be getting into the offwidth. Rapped the route with twin 60s in 5 raps.

Great fun, and has a few marginal moves going around the arete. Longer than I expected!

Balancy move into the crack, then easy up the transition left at halfway.

Good fun. Spent lots of time not knowing which way i should be facing, but got my way up it.

Good fun

Have wanted to climb this one since I saw it in 2007! Amazing and long third pitch. If you have enough gear don't stop at the midpoint anchors. The flake finish is great fun too.

Hard start! Messed up by putting first piece (blue alien) in pod, but got green alien and wire in just above. Had to come off once they were in, almost losing a chunk of my finger in the first good lock. Crack was dirty, but still got up it and placed heaps of gear up to #2BD
