	24	★★ Escape to Gotham City	Sport 25m, 10	★★ Very Good
Still gets very good despite being a link-up...it's a better start than Gotham and the same end so... Fell off last crux move to Hueco. Got it after a bit of play and finished straight through to chains via dead-point.

	23	★★ Zeppelin - with Olivia, Callum	Sport 25m, 8
To last bolt and had fallen off so many times on the top section by then I was getting really angry and not enjoying it. Lowered off. This band of rock on this wall I always find tricky.

Fingery off the deck and stays so. Feels too finger-tweaky to me on a number of moves so not worth the risk. Nice moves though...good climbing.

	23	★★ Debris - with Mitch	Sport 51m, 13	★★★ Classic
The route I always gawped at in my very first guidebook 6 yrs ago - the position, the line, the grade etc. Today I got to climb it..a climbing milestone for me. Probably more 22 moves than 23 but with a fierce wind, some shady rock and all that exposure it didn't feel that easy! Sooo cool.

Led P2+4. Snappy rock makes for engaging climbing with surprisingly good moves - really enjoyable, especially p4...all way better than it looks. Bolt ladder is the crux.

Gets classic status because you'll never climb anything like it again. P1 is the money. P3 I went for a sandy nothing instead of the right hold early on. 2nd shot the treat. I think you could easily take a grade of each pitch in terms of the actual climbing difficulty...it's just the position that makes it feel harder.

A rad adventure into the elevated cave system inside the Sleeping Indian Wall. 3* classic adventure, 2* climbing. An exposed start and burly climbing on P2 had me puffing (might feel more like 7a+ with the exposure and a complete absence of any chalk leading the way) and awesome featured and thought provoking climbing on P3, pitches 1 and 4 are OK but all part of the journey. Rapped off in dark after a late start. 2 x 60m ropes do *JUST reach the ground from anchor at top of pitch 2 despite them going through the trees and you not being able to see if they hit the ground.

Awesome...so awesome. Techy low slab crux and brilliant holds and sequence through upper steepening. So much fun.
	6b	★ Monkey's Bum - with Mitch	Sport 20m, 7	Average
Not a fan. Ok, but probably a bit stiff at the grade and just not that exciting.

	7a+	★★ Lal Bab - with Lucas C, Magdalena de la Torre, Mitch, Liam	Sport 14m, 5	★★ Very Good
Can't legit claim O/S as people had told me the best way to do the first real 'move' although it was obvious from the sand that that was the best way. The draws were up as well so whatevs. O/Ss in Tonsai are almost impossible with the interminable unsolicited beta spray.

Awesome full scope sport adventure. Great climbing, great position, novel rap into the waiting boat. Climbed it as 2 twos with a rope each. Both led top pitch as you would a single. Tied our single 60m to the anchor and rapped into boat from anchor at top of P2 while 2nd team were leading P3. They then set up retrievable rap with both ropes once they were finished and joined us in the boat. 2nd rope got wet so think about that when deciding which one to pull into the boat and which one is going in the drink.

	6c	★★ Cockroach Beach - with Magdalena de la Torre 1 6c 30m lead by Magdalena de la Torre 2 6b+ 20m lead by Ian.Grabowski	Sport 50m, 20	★★ Very Good
Did as three pitches from the jungle bit at the bottom - grim 1st pitch. Awesome adventure through some beautiful terrain giving you a much deeper appreciation of the huge rock formations that make up the uppers of these walls. A bit dirty, a bit out there and a bit of care needed with rock but mainly good with great climbing and a tricky exposed and blind crux - Magui did well leading that one P1 6a - O/S, Pitches 2+3 below....

	7a	★★ Babes in Thailand - with Lucas C, Magdalena de la Torre, Mitch, Liam	Sport 12m, 5	★★★ Classic
All went down well. Brilliant route...one of my Tonsai favourites. Classic limestone stal/tufa climbing with all the classic moves.
	7b	★★ Café Andaman - with Lucas C, Magdalena de la Torre, Mitch, Liam	Sport 10m, 4
Couldn't clip 4th draw. Half-hearted attempt really. Didn't really inspire me that much but I never bothered finishing it so I should reserve judgement.

	7a+ 7b	★★★ Ton Sai Playboy - with Lucas C, Magdalena de la Torre, Mitch, Liam	Sport 15m, 7	★★★ Mega Classic
Total mega-classic but the queues for this climb are absurd. I promised myself max 3 goes for the whole trip so went for O/S but fell at crux and dogged to top. Nothing too hard, just getting foot beta right so you can move quick and manage the pump. Not going to join the project playboy masses.
	6c+	★★ Stalagasaurus (Stalagasaurus (post-breakage)) - with Lucas C, Magdalena de la Torre, Mitch, Liam	Sport 13m, 7	★★★ Classic
Brilliant. Had to fight for it though!

Monkey World
	6b	★★ The Beauty & the Beast - with Mitch 1 6a+ lead by Ian.Grabowski 2 6b lead by Mitch 3 6b lead by Ian.Grabowski	Sport 85m, 28	★★ Very Good
Had climbed the access pitch before. The first two pitches are OK but the 3rd pitch is the money - 3* for sure and slightly harder and more exposed than any of the 6bs on Big Wave. Brilliant varied involved climbing - doesn't get better at the grade. 1hr16 ground to ground, climbed in classic swinging lead style setting off 'The Great Tonsai Beauty and the Beast Speed Ascent Challenge'. We held the title for exactly 1 week lol - the record now sits at 52 minutes - both climbers must lead the top pitch.

The birth of Multi-Pitch Mitch. Great fun intuitive climbing with no distinct cruxes. It's 4 pitches, not five, but there is a rap-anchor half way up the 4th and final pitch that is used to rap off easily with a single 60m rope. Use rap rings on the left facing the rock to stay out of other climbers' way. A relaxed few pm hours in the shade.
