V4 | ★★ Starscream - with Borja | 5m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Cool little problem. Helps to have a spotter for a bit of confidence on the top. Slightly tricky start then nice moves to the shelf and slightly balancy exit.

Kung Fu Captin Wall | ||||||
V4 | ★★★ Bruce Lee - with Borja | 3m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Cool problem....took about 6 or 7 goes so V4 seems about right. Very technical and position dependent with some nice slopey moves.
|
||||||
V5 | ★ Jet Li - with Borja | 5m | ★ Good | |||
Pretty sure I did it as described and pretty sure if I flash something it's not V5....seemed more V3, crux being matching the sharp crimp.

8 Degrees Lane Cove | ||||||
V5 | ★★ Whirlpool | 4m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Nice little problem. About 5 or 6 goes in a session so maybe not the hardest V5 around. Once you flip the right hand to an undercling it's pretty much done. Using your thumb helps in a few places

V5 | ★★★ Mummy Dust | 20m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Finally sent my main lockdown inspired within 10km radius problem. 8 visits from 11 July to today so probably the most effort I've put into a route/problem. Great variety of moves but has the potential to get very frustrating. Key for me was getting to the ramp with some juice and probably fell off there about 15-20 times. Lots of little micro beta come into play and over time some "route" fitness develops.
Not a typical boulder problem but V5 seems about right. Have been ticking 25's 3rd or 4th go recently so 26ish for the route grade seems about right. 28 without the rest seems generous if you can get through the first half fresh.
Had a nice long rest and felt good on the last section. Was worried about the last few moves and had a wobble but held on. Pays to know your sequence here.

Cool traverse...kind of retro-flash.

Isolated Rock/Overhang | ||||||
V2 | ★★★ The Overhang - with Borja | 6m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Also done many times over the years on toprope, with and without mats but a repeat today as part of lockdown re-discovery. I thought it was always grade 16 but V2 seems fair.

3 or 4th go with a bit of figuring out....pumpy as for the sissy virgin.
