Enjoyable climbing, then you reach the crux where the real fun begins. I’m pretty sure grunting like an animal while pulling the roof helps to make a clean send hey Steve.

First half of the climb has great rock and climbs well. The second half of the crack is fused lacking pro, so cut left onto face to finish. Rate first half as very good, the rest is average.

First time climbing an off width crack, physically draining, need some tech tips. Overhang at the top climbs really well.
|
||||||
18 | Iguana - with Chris Rule | 17m | ★ Good | |||
Rough crack first few meters then gets better, tape helps. Poor rock / pro for 1-2m over RH traverse under bulge, yet on easier ground. Couple big cams would of been handy for last section, but only had one BD #3 so ran it out. Saves the best till last with a cool layback before moving into the off width to finish.

Tricky sequence at start of climb with a slightly desperate finish. Recommend placing a sml/med cam to protect top-out.

Good lead by Fraser. It has some cool stemming and back-step moves.

19 | ★ Room With A View - with Edmund Gemelo Jr. | 35m | ★ Good | |||
Hard! Tough section at thin finger crack near top. Needs a good clean at crux to remove grass, dirt and a small dead tree that is just holding on.
|
||||||
16 | ★★ The Tourist Route - with Edmund Gemelo Jr. | 30m, 1 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Spicy! If lacking confidence/ability recommend stick clipping the first hanger, which is about 5m off the deck. All the fun is in the first 8m then eases off. Nice climb and worth a visit.

21 | ★★ Bridge Work - with Stephen Gordon | 15m, 2 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Crack climbs well to start, then a gear shift to move up and onto the slab arete. The second carrot bolt needs a shave, struggled to force a bolt plate over it while leading, it would only take a 90. Great climb, but will need to fix that bolt next visit and give the moss a brush near the top.
|

17 | ★★ Crack Cusp Technique - with Stephen Gordon | 15m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Solid lead and takes good gear. Packs in a lot over the short distance. Well worth a climb and should get more traffic. Conditions where damp at the time, which added some spice to the lead. I am happy that I didn't chicken out near the last move.
