11 ★★ Pedro 36m — Classic — Suggested grade 13
Night time climb! Absorbing. Quite epic actually. Definitely the spookiest grade 11 climb I’ve done. Happy to call it a sandbag. Only placed cams cause nuts are silly little things. — with Zara Pettifer
9 ★★★ Arachnus 110m
Zen buddhism mediation type of climb. Until the last pitch when Luke and I couldn’t hear each other. But otherwise super lovely, good, pleasant, nice, relaxing, flowy, sublime, enjoyable. — with lukespencer
25 ★★★ Have A Good Flight 18m, 5 — Mega Classic
First half is pretty dialed now. Little bit of progress on the crux. Maybe would be good to top rope it to sus the holds at the end of the crux.
After the micro crimp for the right, there’s a better crimp further up for the left. Right foot is left and a bit up from the draw, left foot is a little bump just right of the chalky undercling. Can pull up from this position but doesn’t feel awesome. Kept snatching at the big chalky area and taking whips, not sure what part to grab. — with Connor Gundberg
