First Basin to Duck Reach Across the river from Big Norm's Blouse
18 Max the Killer Kelpie - with aaron thomas, sean paul Trad 17m Good
Not sure how it's meant to finish but went into the roof, got some good gear and then cut straight left and up to the anchors. Not a great line for the rope, runs over a sharp edge. Potentially can go straight up as well but would be a fair bit harder. Recommend heading left a little lower then finish as for Root and Kill. Good fun though!!

 
23 ~24 Root and Kill — 2 attempts - with aaron thomas, sean paul Mixed trad 17m, 1 Classic
Ripper!! Worked out the gear on top rope because it's fairly intense placing if you have to faff. At least with my beta. On top rope, 23, but I feel like it has to be 24 on lead. 3 stars because it is full value, good gear but difficult to place which added to the puzzle. Finding a sequence that works down low was fun! Commiting moves on good gear (can be a little tricky to find.). Great exposed finish. So good - do not underestimate it though!

One of the best hidings I've had in a while!! Can't believe there is no hype about this - bloody Stella! I've given it 24 but think it may be harder when comparing to Damnit for instance. Went ground up placing gear on all attempts, strenuous gear placements but bomber! Ripper!
