Tricky start to easier climbing and better gear above.

Flailed around on the crux moves on my first go, trying to work it all out again. Went second go. Total 6 shots across two trips.

Got back just before the wall came into the sun and it felt much better this time. Nice to be able to put this one to bed.

19 Sorcerer's Apprentice Trad 30m Very Good
Not sure why I rated this so poorly last time I was here. Interesting movements to a full on jamming finish. Definitely wore the wrong shoes and my toes were complaining...

19 Infinity - with Grace Mackie Trad 40m Classic
First route of the trip and a good guage of where I'm at with my crack climbing. Which was alright but much weaker than previous trips. Great route and bomber gear.

 
19 Thor - with Grace Mackie Trad 30m Classic
Was surprised to find I'd been on it before as I couldn't remember a single thing about it. More face climbing than crack climbing, with good gear. Some slightly tricky moves at halfway.

Much better when you know the beta and where to chuck in your gear.

retro-onsight. several technical cruxes separated by good resting stances. what a classy route! some jamming skills required.

19 Gemini - with Grace Mackie Trad 51m Very Good
Finally got back on this after my attempt seconding it several years ago.

Awesome diagonal hand crack widening up to fists up higher. The crux was a lot shorter than I remembered too.

felt a lot harder than i remembered it being. i guess that's what happens when you don't climb for nearly a year...
