Had to pull on the 4th bolt. Can also get a small BD red (#0.1) in about 1m above the 4th bolt.

17 | ★★ The Devils Tears | 45m, 16 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Repeat, enjoyed the 1st pitch far more second time around, really good. Didn't bother with the 2nd pitch this time.

17 | ★ First Born | 20m, 8 | ★ Good | |||
Better for the rope to bring the second up and abseil off.
|
||||||
15 | ★ Parents in Pain | 20m, 6 | ★ Good | |||
Nice moves up blunt arête. Better for the rope to bring up the second and abseil.

17 | ★★ Moonlighting the Renovations | 35m | ★ Good | |||
Good climb. Don't bring "diagonal" bolt plates, don't fit on some carrots. Awkward mantle over the lip on P1. P2 is a big arc, starting 5m left of belay but finishing right.

Paredon de los Condores | ||||||
★ Opposite Hosteria Vertical lodge on rubbish rock | 150m, 33 | Don't Bother | ||||
Probably the worst rock I've ever climbed on. Didn't know anything about the route, found the bolts and started climbing, looked about Aussie 18. Silly horizontal traverse for P5, very thin for feet and maybe worse for hands. P6 crux I had to pull on draws, then fortunately someone had left a sling attached to the 2nd bolt, then maybe the 5th bolt I had to use a sling for a foothold, too difficult for me!

Too difficult for me, surely there was more earth to stand on previosuly? The base must be lower, surely, but I know I'm a terrible crack climber! I used BD 0.75 cam just to get in the vicinity of the first bolt! :o)

Moto Cross wall | ||||||
18 | Fossilized thought | 10m, 3 | Average | |||
BD #2 (yellow) reassuring for the bouldery/layback corner start.
The top bolt is surrounded by 5 scars of broken holds, presumably the grade 18 holds? And the grade 19 holds... and maybe 20 too ;o) the bolt worked well instead! ;o) |

Mel's first Point Perp lead, wow, great exposure. Cold rock in the winter shade, much hand blowing between moves!

17 | ★★ Wet Feet | 14m | ★ Good | |||
Amusing line just above the water, love watching everyone's expressions, especially the 2nd who's probably at more risk of a dunking ;o) Actually climbed past the 4th bolt (couldn't get a good position to place the bolt plate) to a good comfortable stance level with the 4th bolt.

Soft for 20, I can't lead 20's but lead this! Everyone's first 20? Interesting iron stone cylinder thing at the crux.

13 FHs (maybe 14?) + 3 carrots on top. The crux at 1/3 height is a little trickier/thinner than EPIAL next door.
