Terrible rock quality, at least a couple of decent sized suspect blocks, do not recommend. Think I climbed this a while back but do not remember the rock being quite so shit.

One fall at crux, roof was tricky to pull through. Nicely onsight by Shannon. Just did 1st pitch.

Several falls at the crux working it, eventually got it but not sure I could do those moves on lead atm.

First go at this engaging climb, two falls (one silly near the top just too tired).

20 | ★★ Pass the Buck - with Shaun | 80m, 24 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Shaun led the 1st and 3rd pitch. I cleanly lead the 2nd crux pitch, fun airy crux and after its easier but it kept testing my tired limbs, though with great rests along the way. Called 2nd pitch a flash as dirty big tick mark helped at the crux.. Had a fall 2nding the 1st pitch at the crux, bit of a tough warm up. Watch for loose rock on the 3rd pitch and bring some extendables.

Awesome climb, red pointed the first pitch which has a tricky start (fell off once before first bolt), there's a bit of loose rock and a couple of fun runouts about. Shannon onsighted the second pitch which is a super classic 22, aptly described as outrageous, lots of compression moves. I pulled through the strenuous crux of the second pitch but fell once higher up at a section with tricky feet. We linked up with the top 19 pitch of Bucking Fumblies which I lead clean somehow in my exhausted state.

19 | ★★★ Ventura Highway - with Dani | 85m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Nice climbing upto fantastic views over the bay. I onsighted the 2nd and 3rd pitch (linked nicely with some long sport draws and alpine draws). The 1st and 3rd pitch cruxes were particularly fun, exiting the chimney and pulling the roof feels pretty cool. The 4th crux is quite balancy. There's still some decent loose rock around so be wary of that.

Quite a difficult scary feeling mantle, took a few attempts to get that. No falls but a rest below the mantle. Maybe more of an 18, though that mantle is quite difficult

Awesome climb. Found seconding first pitch a tough warm up (first experience of Castle Rock slab). Enjoyed leading crux 20 pitch, fall on 2nd bolt on traverse from anchor I used, feels a bit like 2nd crux. Didn't know what climb this anchor is supposed to be used for, so used one too early on the traverse, so ended up climbing this route in five pitches, with a short pitch to the proper 3rd pitch anchor. Last 18 pitch really fun, nice top out. Keen to get back and lead some of the other pitches!

Great pumpy climbing.
Lead the first pitch cleanly, followed the 2nd pitch with several falls and seconded the 3rd pitch cleanly.
