I'm calling it a 22. No arguments there. This climb is hard, and the run-outs don't help! I think holds are breaking off these climbs every time they get attempted, thus increasing the grade. It was a long hike in for only one route, but man, Adam and I were cactus! This climb is a 2 star 22, and I loved it! With the wind blowing hard, all I had to do was open my wings and fly!

Adam summoned some Yosemite inspired roof jamming moves to a beautiful crack with smearing feet on P2. I got the X-rated, adults only version, of Honnold's 'Alone on the Wall' (P3). Managed to claw my gripped body up an overhang. Then Adam led into a ramp and we finished via The Devils Nose. Awesome climbing. Variant on third pitch. Instead of weaving around roofs, we went left to HFG, traversed right under wall (good wire) and directly up over roof on right edge to belay further up and right.

Nabbed it! Just! I had holds breaking off, caught my self falling, and got a little pumped. How can such a loose climb be such a CLASSIC. One of the best climbs I have done anywhere. Reminiscent of Upper Shipley in the Blueys, although the rock is completely different. I love this route. Highly recommended.

21 | ★★ Wormsley's Circus - with Ashlee | 25m, 7 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Adam- "this is a hard 23", so I jumped on it. Much easier than what Adam suggested, although the way he tries to climbs it, perhaps it is more like a 25.

Went for the onsight, and was doing well. Until I got below that third bolt. Needed my mate to climb adjacent climb and drop a LONG sling that allowed me to continue. This route needs extra bolts. A fall from trying to reach the third bolt would be very unpleasant. This climb was not worth breaking my legs for...

This is not better than chocolate. In fact, I have eaten chocolate that I found in the street gutter, covered in chew marks from mice that was better than this climb. I do not rate it at all. The start of the first pitch is cool. But the rest is just awful. There could however, be some confusion to what route we were actually on.
