Got dark when I got to the top, I'll go back and send in the light next time. Start sequence is more powerful with limited feet but decent holds. Top sequence is 3 clips of thin delicate slab. Once you find the crimps it's doable, but can be a little hard to find since it seems this climb had been less popular lately and no noticeable chalk marks.

Feeling pretty confident for when everything line's up perfectly. Need to be more consistent if I want to actually do it. Mental more than physical at this point. I feel like I've 'learned' how to fall on the crux because I've done it so much

New highpoint (falling off matching hands on campus rail) and some refinements to the rest before the crux (great to brainstorm options with the team!). I think it's a question of belief and aggression for the campus moves now. The top was hilariously wet.

Third session and 4th solid red point attempt - still fell off on the final hold. Really heartbreaking but felt so much better than last time due to the cold. Found a better finish beta, next time its definitely going!

Third attempt, fell after the after the crux (got a bit scare skipping a second draw), still quite few moves to go but possible, the only problem I can give only one attempt per day, it s so exhausting climbing 40 metres to get to the end.

Blackheath Area Perry's Lookdown
	22	★★★ Yak Banquet (The Easy Link-up) - with Ben Taylor	Sport 180m, 16		Jeh C
I found this harder on onsight, compared to similarly graded routes on the other side of the valley. It felt a step up but was brilliant climbing with sustained, techy, reachy moves along varied terrain. It's a good winter multi as the wall is bathed in sunshine from first light. I led P1 and P4. I needed a couple of takes on each to find a sequence that worked. We finished up by linking P2 and P3 of Fat Yak (rather than linking into the top pitches of Beggar's banquet as the link up intends, we were too pumped!). Also, the access road is now complete so the warning is no longer applicable.

Leura Sublime Point West Face (Main Area) Middle Cliffs Ben Trovato Wall
	25	★★★ Vespasian's Wall (Pitch 1 only) - with Gabriele G, Bruno Martins	Sport 25m		Sasha
Couldn’t stick the crux. The peanut is sharp and so bad, didn’t manage to crank it hard enough to raise feet and go for the landing hold. But bumping from it to the pinch feels reachy for me, didn’t have the tension. But tickled the pinch enough to know it would be good (dammit!) Will grow some skin and come back

Great route. Went from easy to not so easy real quick. One of the few climbs at this crag that doesn’t feel soft. I think I can get it next time, the overhang sequence doesn’t leave much room for error or deliberation but isn’t anything too crazy.

Another awesome day on this awesome climb, couldn't keep it together for the crux but also realised my beta for the crux isn't the most efficient, after watching Gabriele and Nodav I decided to try something different and it felt a lot better even when I was tired. Maybe next time

Went for the onsight but struggled with some fiddly small gear just after halfway. Sorted out gear beta and will be back to redpoint! So much small gear. Sat on my 0.1 and that was exciting. Gear Beta: 0.75, 0.3, 1 (long draw), 0.4 (long draw), 0.2 or 0.1, 0.3. Additional small wire or two (orange and grey).

Felt nice going through the move that exploded my ankle but started to get very pumped. Spent what felt like a lifetime shaking off on the huge jug but couldn’t get anything back due to poor endurance. Peeled off at crux. I’ll be back for u sidewinder 😤

Back in 2019 I came a hairs breadth from freeing this for the First Ascent after sieging it for an entire season. A year later Nigel did the FFA, and since then I've had this in the back of my mind as an "obvious project to return to for a gr30 slab I know I can do". Trying it today, I did all the moves "okay" (certainly better than my first days of trying it back in 2019) though it would still need a tonne of effort to put it all together. But you know what I realised? I just really don't enjoy this style of razor-blade crimping much anymore, and I'm not so desperate to chase my first gr30 to suffer it for the sake of the grade. Honestly, I'd rather climb something steep (though it suits me less) and have more fun. This is a proper slab/face test piece, and substantially harder than it looks from below. If you're still vibing that style, this is definitely your cup of tea. Now, after 18 years of climbing, I know it's not mine anymore.
