Absolutely brilliant climbing, that never relents in both class or its grade. There are a few rests but it still tests your endurance. I thought I wasn't up for it, but figured what the hell.... ended up cruising it.... made me feel GOOD!!
|
||||||
21 | ★★★ Conquistador | 45m | ★★★ Mega Classic | |||
Incredible climb. I really need to lead this before the end of the year. It's all there and just classy climbing the whole way. I bit tricky turning the corner into the fist jams. You also have to just motor through the overhanging crack through the good holds. Great climb!! Seconded Jamie.

16 | ★★★ Satan's Smokestack | 40m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Very thrutchy but it seems to grow on you the further you go. The move outside the wide crack down low is a bit hairy. Worth doing but I wouldn't rave about it.
|
||||||
20 | ★★ Footloose and Falling Free | 11m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Brilliant pumpy climbing with decent pro. Aliens are useful in the thin parallel crack through the crux.
|

19 | ★★ Hollywood Rattlesnake | 18m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Really very nice. Plenty of good gear and did the whole climb with only wires and one hex. Well worth the effort.

Great climb, but not worth three stars. The start is a grovel and the great moves only last 10m. Worth doing though. Funny I haven't done it already.
|
||||||
18 | ★★ Warlock | 26m | ★★ Very Good | |||
A great line and I reckon only worthy if it's done direct. Why would you climb a great line by using the start of another climb? Gotta be done direct and I reckon solid 20 start.

Only reason we did this was to fill in the remainder of the day after being on EP. Fairly crappy and a worthless top out. Rap off the big tree above to the right.

An absolute stunning climb, with almost all the moves in the book. Long but has three good rests. Thinkabout it and you won't get pumped. Great gear all the way, except the bottom 7m is a bit fiddly.
|

Bumbled up this climb to get to the ledges above. Quite nice for a beginner, I reckon. The short 5m corner above to the Termination ledge is a great continuation for beginners too.

What can I say, but do it if you're climbing 20, because it's a very strenuous 19. It's well worth it though. Jamming and the occasional needed face hold.
