Onsighted 7 routes and red pointed 3 routes.

23 ★★★ Hot Flyer Sport 25m — Classic

24 ★ Iona Sport 12m — 3 attempts

Finish is a bit confusing. I went right up the ramp to the single ring clipped that, then traversed to the shared anchor where you lower off.

24 ★★★ La La Land Sport 20m, 8 — 2 attempts — Classic

22 ★★★ Wafer Thin Fin Sport 71m — Classic

— with Owen

Punchy for the grade

3 22 18 Sport lead by Shawn

Took at first bolt to work out where the holts were, but otherwise it isn't that hard. You do a few moves then it is basically over.

22 ★★ Nylon Happy Sport 20m, 8 — Classic

22 ★★★ Subliminal Sport 92m, 33 — Classic — Suggested grade 22

— with Owen

1 21 20m Second lead by Owen

Punchy for the grade

2 22 58m Sport lead by Shawn

Super long, but plenty of rests and no real hard move. I think the old grade of 22 is fair.

3 16 14m Second lead by Owen

Punchy for the grade

21 ★★ Girly Germs Sport 15m

Punchy crimp pull through early on the route, but excellent line!

20 ★ Dr Foopsickle Sport 8m — Average

Not worth doing really

19 M1 ★ Welsh Dragon Sport 68m — Very Good

We got back to the ledge on the rap down from Wafer Thin Fin so avoided the aid pitch. — with Owen

2 15 Second lead by Owen

3 25 Sport lead by Shawn

Run out but easy, didn't need the cam that was recommended in the guidebook.

4 28 Second lead by Owen

We missed the first carrot as we went left instead of right, which led to a fairly big run out... but it is pretty easy climbing

19 ★★★ Whymper Sport 150m — Classic

— with Owen

1 19 25m Second

2 18 25m Sport

3 19 25m Second
