Oh so good, just want you want out of a long slab pitch. Techy, sustained, thought provoking and plenty of droppable moves.

Coolbeans, went smooth but losing my knee pad at the slab added a bit of stress. Cool line and very sustained on the fingers, not much relief until the roof.

Should’ve done ages ago but always got distracted by other things. Nice to climb it relatively easily today, some really cool moves on this one. Probably loses a star from the painful cut loose

Red Cliff Main Wall - Lust sector
29 Greed Sport 25m, 11 Classic
I almost lost my mind in the process but it's finally done! Chuffed to close this chapter after countless sessions of trying and falling at the very top. A great new route that adds full value resistance climbing on top of an already established classic. Thanks for equipping this one Redanon it's a gem! I hate quantifying my experience into a number, but I think 29 is a fair punt, get on it people!
