The first section seemed harder than 24 and kind of unsafe. Hard to know which way to go. I went through the vertical dementia crux then traversed to the Kathy K anchor. There is a hanger over near the Kathy K line that I climbed to on toprope afterwards but it seemed too runout for me to do on lead. Not sure if that's meant to be the line

P2 only. I believed at the time that I was climbing a 26. I might have done better if I knew it was graded 25 (up from 24). It felt pretty hard to me. Bolts were spaced more widely than I'm used to and some bolts were hard to reach. Much better than P2 of The Thin Line of Reprieve by the look of it.

Seconding the traverse pitch was seriously "engaging". I was literally hanging on for dear life, visualizing a horrendous swinging fall each time I unclipped a draw and was then faced with another lot of slippery, slopey awkward holds. I led P2 and I agree that it's really great quality climbing. I won't bore you with my list of excuses, but I found it hard and scary. I got mega pumped and had to rest a few times. We watched a thunderstorm drop a torrent of rain between us and Mt Solitary while we climbed and I prayed that we wouldn't get a similar soaking before we got to the top. I'm keen to go back and try to master this route.
