A quality climb! 2nd 22 send for the day. 2nd shot. thought i had the onsite, but just couldnt get the arms to keep pulling!

First route done at pages! The top steep section was fun and pumpy enough to give me an idea of what sort of day i was in for!

Awesome day of adventure! pitch 3 put the wind up me a bit, but loved climbing a new mountain! lead 1,3,5

Awesome!!

favourite climb at frog so far!!! amazing line, cool positions, great gear and perfect way to finish the weekend!

loved it so much, thought id go back for seconds

possibly my new favourite route at frog!

2nd trad lead. was pretty happy with some good stances to try fumble my way through finding correct size gear. a little spooked by what i thought was a snake in one of the cracks 3/4 up...

backdate onsight

Onsight a few months ago, repeat seconding accent

First Trad lead, trying to place as much gear as i can to work out what fits where...

3rd shot. felt good to get my body position worked out on the high step and then went for the send.

if the top wasnt so good i would prob never climb this route again. shitty bottom, awesome top

finally lead it!!!!! cruised up it pretty easily!!!

really like the steeper section towads the top

meh... warm ups

cool bouldery start. nice holds on lip of roof

nice interesting moves.

was very dirty after the rain washed a heap of crap down

didnt realise it was a mixed route until it was too late! made for an exciting afternoon!

finally led this route!! something had been holding me back from trying this route on lead. a great exciting lead climb, maybe the opinion would be different if you fell.

a nice little adventure. no real standout sections but a fun enough warmup and a great view to top belay from!

a few ok moves. the length of this route makes it fun to do. Definitely worst places i could be top belaying!

loved the little footers and the perfectly placed crimps just when you need them! cool route

i found the lower overhang to be alot of fun and a good little challenge. a few foot slips, just to keep the nerves on edge and climb a little more cautiously/deliberate. 2nd overhand was a bit harder than expected but had a great sense of exposure. I was pretty stoked once i pulled through it.

SEND!!!!!! 1st shot today, 3rd shot overall!!! Pretty stoked!!!
