21 ★★★ Wallyard Arete 18m, 7 — 3 attempts
Onsight attempt got me to the crux. 2nd attempt worked out the crux, 3rd attempt got through it all and ran out of gas staring at the anchors. Another "next time" to add to the list. The view North is bloody amazing and it was no where near as exposed as I was expecting. Felt very relaxed

17 ★ Piece of Piss Direct 9m, 4
20 ★ Extra Terrestrial Turkey 7m — 4 attempts — Suggested grade 21
Even after several more years of experience, on return, I still found this very difficult.

x2 warm-up laps. Add a grade when damp. — with Michael Hodge
19 ★ Organo Cockacide 7m, 3
I was waiting for the villagers to toss rotten fruit at me on the walk up the approach gully - "Shame!". Greasy day but holds were ok. By the time I finally found my beta I was too gassed to go again. Next time. — with Michael Hodge

23 ★★ 2 Crimps 1 Cup 13m, 8 — 3 attempts
After climbing it well on our last day out I expected it to go reasonably quick today despite the 83% humidity!! It was all OK until the anchors. I just can't reach them or figure out how to do so On the final attempt I used a panic draw to at least allow me to clean safely.

24 ★★ Jaded Cravings 16m
First shot of the day, rapped in to pre-hang one extended draw at the crux (could be avoided pretty easily by clipping from the left hand at the beginning of the crux, or after reaching the rail). Had a lot of fun working on this one. — with Ryan L
23 ★★★ Hercules Extension 22m

24 ★★★ Lean Beef 15m, 6 — 2 attempts — Classic
Stoked. Feels like a long time, but also not (10 sessions over 3 years, pulling on 1-2 times with 6 months in between). Took a while to figure out how to get in / out of the cave, but went fairly easily once I committed. Thanks Ryan L for the last minute beta adjustments and send pressure from your warm up red point. — with Ryan L
27 ★★ Heavy Haulage 15m, 6
Tried all the things. Direct line is well hard, followed by hard. The 26 dyno variant looks fun (slapped the hold), followed by hard. — with Ryan L
