Took twice. Burned a lot of energy working out the crux with chalk left and right for the two options. Now I know what people mean by "lead head". Nice route.

6a ~6a+ | ★★★ Go Big Bro Go Home - with Trang Nguyễn | 22m, 10 | ★★★ Mega Classic | ||||
Aesthetically beautiful, nice bolting, and a perfect length of crux. One rest at bottom of crux because I faffed about for too long instead of just going for it. Such a great route.
|
|||||||
6a | ★ Chìa Khóa Của San - with Trang Nguyễn | 18m, 8 | ★ Good | ||||
Tried to avoid the big vertical branch but wrong beta led me in behind it. I guess this is a 5C using it.

5c | ★★ Funk in the Trunk - with Niall Murphy | 23m, 11 | ★★★ Mega Classic | ||||
So many good holds for both hands and feet (I have tiny fingers so good handholds for me). Going along the bolts in top-rope is best.
|

5c | ★★ Funk in the Trunk - with Trang Nguyễn | 23m, 11 | ★★★ Classic | ||||
Pretty great route. Will go back to this one for the red point.

Lots of good hand holds and foot holds and nice spots for resting. If you climb on top-rope, you can climb up along the branches which are amazing for your hands after the sharp rocks at the beginning. Very lovely and fun route for new climbers and warming-up.
