19 Bitten By A Cobra Mixed trad 25m, 4 Very Good
Sweet mixed line, will be better after more people have climbed it and the rock has become a bit less crumbly on the face. 1 whip and rest about 2/3rd way up crack.

22 Fingers Crossed Mixed trad 25m, 4 Very Good
This is a beautiful line with some great variation, the handcrack section is epic! Climbed the trad section and clipped the first bolt cleanly but was too pumped so rested on the bolt. I'd say the crux for me is moving left after clipping the bolt (I'm tall which helps with clipping before moving left). I worked/dogged most of the rest of the route as I was just too pumped and the crux is tricky. This is a nice project for me, being efficient through the trad section is important to avoid pump!

21 Mr Bastard Trad 12m Good
Top rope dog, pretty hard for me, harder than The Skink Prince and Hugs not Drugs, I'd say its a 21. Would be a very bold lead!

19 18 Zig Mixed trad 14m, 2 Good
Unfortunately I rested on the first bolt figuring out the moves, kinda a bit awkward and tricky but fun crux. Look forward to giving it another burn.

19 Quarry Climbing Mixed trad 12m, 2 Very Good
Had another attempt, hoping to get it smoother. I had a rest on the 2nd bolt again figuring out the tricky crux moves and my first fall on a cam in the top crack wahoo! I really like this climb and it always gives me an experience! Wasn't hand jamming very well but I used the crack more this time (with some feet on the face) and didn't go offroute to the right so that's progress. Overall I climbed it better this time round.

17 The Frenz Experiment Trad 10m Good
Good fun learning to jam with Owens help. Have got a lot to learn! Was pretty happy with some of my hand and toe jams, certainly have a bit of work to do though!

19 Quarry Climbing - with Charlie Mixed trad 12m, 2 Very Good
Really enjoyed this one. Engaging, balancy moves and fun sequences. Had a rest on the 2nd bolt, figuring out how to do the above moves. Worthy of two stars. Arguably went a bit off route near the top going right, need to work on my hand jams so I can trust them more. Found two nice offset nut placements!

Followed after Tyler lead nicely. I had one fall at the first finger crack.
