Clean repeat x 2 - In such hideous conditions, any climbing is a blessing, even if it's just lapping the classics. Such a cool line of features. Visionary, even.

Repeat for training (not clean today. Fell off the top crux). As good as I remember. Deserves its reputation.

Clean repeat: reminding myself that there is some good climbing at Oliver Stone
Short, steep, and quite sharp... but generally fun thugging. Certainly the best route on this part of the crag. |

Another clean repeat. Again attempting the headwall downclimb (only got halfway down this time). Good steep training.

Clean repeat. With no chalk on the route, I found this pretty gnarly at the grade. Had to get a bit noisy in a few sections. Once it starts getting touch at 1/2 height, it's great thin waterwashed climbing the whole way.

Clean repeat. Managed to lead down-climb almost the entire extension as well. Stupidly steep jugging forever. Downclimb the headwall to score 30-odd metres of 30 degree overhang!

Clean repeat. Still the best warmup here, and a genuinely pleasant route.

Repeat. Aiding the crux move makes this the standard warmup for this part of the world. As much as the rest of this route just keeps getting better to me, the crux just keeps getting more unpleasant.

Repeat. Seconding Josh's Send. Very "out there" and featuring some dubious rock... but freaking mega regardless. Better and more fun (and easier) than I remember. A pleasure

Repeat - Just to the crux (2nd last bolt) as a warmup. Makes a good warmup at gr23/24, even with total finger freeze.
