Good route but unless I'm missing something, you just need to be able to span a large distance - fingertips for me.

Josh did great going ground up onsight on this one. Reckon he'll free it next time. I found the undercling crack move hard.

Tue 24th Oct 2023
Access pitch harder than it looks. Got about half way up the main wall, whipped twice and handed over the rack to Josh. We found a really cool line here, harder than it looks. Josh reckoned 60% handjams. Done ground up onsight. Reckon this will go free at around 21.

 
19 Blocked It Out - with Matthew Robinson Trad
Ollie Rattue
Sat 14th Jan 2023
That start is steeper than it looks. Fun to be new routing again. Matt broke off a block right before the anchor, I thought that thing was suspect. Ball ache bundu bash to get round to the rap station.

Totally my jazzz. Thought it would go down first session, came back in the sun, struggled, much harder to finish it up than it felt the first session with good afternoon connies. Definitely easier in the shade. Compressing most of the way up, except for the last grip in the roof that I can't reach, this isn't 8A in Rocklands..... I had to swallow my ego before I could grade it properly

Sneaky crux at the top which we couldn’t figure out and had to bail on last bolt before the chains. Drew told us afterwards about a hidden hold so I guess we’ll have to go back for it 😝

Who comes up with these grades? 🤪😂 Starts with a hectic roof (we preclipped the 2nd draw for safety). Couldn’t figure out how to do it and pulled through, then the route eases up. Didn’t come to project this so didn’t bother doing it again 😆
