23 | FA Left of Catch Me if You Can - with Josh Sowter | Sun 29th Oct 2023 | ||||||
Josh did great going ground up onsight on this one. Reckon he'll free it next time. I found the undercling crack move hard.

21 | FA Wild Country - with Josh Sowter | 30m | 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 | FA Blocked It Out - with Matthew Robinson | 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
