I can't believe this is bolted, definitely not complaining though. Kinda a one move wonder but still fun. Idk if it's worth a star but defs glad I jumped on.

Thought this was the 15 and was a bit shocked about some tenuous jamming and finger locking. Another nice crack problem.

I was surprised at how good this was. It also changed my mind a bit on bolted cracks at Nowra. Every budding sport climber should have a crack at this

Like its counterpart Sour Grapes, this was a nice but tricky climb. I found myself often out of balance trying to manoeuvre myself around to awkwardly get hand and foot jams. Still a cool little climb well worth doing - will defs come back to get it clean!
