V9 The Last Great Nine Boulder 4m Very Good
Finally got it after 2 weeks. Pretty stoked on the new pb but it feels kinda soft. I found the crux to be the same as the v7 and then a low percentage dynamic move to the crimp from the v9. After hitting the crimp it was cruisy to top

Trad 190m Mega Classic
HOLY SHIT WHAT AN AMAZING ROUTE!!! Split pitches 1-3 into 2 and lead the first one, bit meantly fatigued and passed the money pitch to Sian. The gear is quite spaced about pitch 4 but the moves are easy and rock quality is good. Sian accidentally linked the last 2 pitches as well. Descended in the dark again

17 17 R Lieben Trad 200m Mega Classic
What a stunning line!!! Lead pitch 3 & 5. We scrambled "pitch 1" pitch 2 is pretty good cloning with spaced and small gear. I lead pitch 3 and felt like I was off route? After placing a 0.4 above the anchor I rounded this buldge to find hard committing slab climbing. The hands and feet were tiny and give the quality of rock in the bungles I shat my pants. After that climbed to the rib where I found a piton to set up a cosy hanging belay. Pitch 4 was amazing we decided to climb in the corner and holy shit was it amazing stemming with great jugs. Pitch 5 finally had a crack and I sewed it up so much so I ran out of gear near the top and had to make a uncomfortable belay. Pitch 6 didn't really have anything to write home about but roping out with a head torch is something I'll never forget.

The descent is quite serious and just traversing to the log book felt like another pitch. Afterwards it was pretty straight forward. Our ropes got stuck on the last abseil and I soloed up 8m to retrieve it. Got to the hut at midnight.
