30 ★★ Freedom - with Rosie Sport 25m ★★ Very Good
5 sessions in total.

It took me a while to like this climb as it all comes down to a single boulder problem with a reinforced hold, however the moves are actually frikkin awesome and the position is stellar.

Possibly a little easier than Priapism.

23 ★★★ Hakea - with Anna Trad 40m ★★★ Mega Classic
Absolutely brilliant climb that has faded into obscurity. It required quite some cleaning of grass etc. but I left all the little shrubs as they're cool.

Due to my big fat hands I found this desperate even at 23, but Anna thought 22 with her wee mitts?

Reminds me of Atlantis and Holiday in Cambodia, but better, much harder and way more sustained.

21 ★★★ Tartarus Trad 60m ★★★ Classic
Really good with a tricky thin hands groove.

Reccomend doing it as a single long pitch with 3x hand sized cams.

Only sent first 27 pitch! Rad, another slapdancer.

Second pitch is very hard for just 3m. Possibly V7? Brilliant!
