Pretty on straight off the deck, was glad to have the first bolt stick clipped (a good stick available on the ledge). Up and down-climbed the mantlecrux a couple of times before finding a comfy way through.
Superfun bouldery start, followed by insecure slab climbing. This pitch just keeps on going. The texture on that orange rock is wild, you stick like velcro.
Sooooo good!!! Had a long rest and a bit of lunch before starting up this, and I was feeling quite jittery when I finally started. Got pumped pretty quickly in the overhang looking for the good holds and was relieved when I realised you could rest sitting on the stalactite - except my rope got stuck and I had to downclimb a bit to free it before I could rest. Jeeeez. Managed to dyno to a jug after the rest and trucked my way up to a long move out left where the pump got too much. What a wild ride!
My brain was struggling on this pitch. The cumulative tiredness from the weekend hit and I was forgetting how to rock climb, and fuck me, 60m is a lot of rock climbing. Topped out and shared some victory choccy. Absolute bliss! An incredible day on rock.

Mega Classic
First time in bungonia and first time climbing limestone. Pretty blown away by the whole experience. Done in 10hrs car to car at a very leisurely pace. Crazy contrast between the juggy steep orange walls and the grey slabs - which took me most of the day to get comfy trusting my feet on.
