Absolutely brilliant, delicate climbing. There's plenty of pro, but most of it is fiddly and not very good. I really enjoyed it, but definitely a climb best done when feeling focused and relaxed.

Start is hard and balancy, then it's runout but easy, then reasonably protected the rest of the way

	18	★★ Preservative Added - with Bodin Pollard	Mixed trad 30m, 1	★★ Very Good	Andrew Connolly
The climbing in the bottom section is arguably better than Missing Link, but it all gets a bit easy after the bolt so loses classic status because of it's discontinuous nature. Still worthwhile if you are there

This climb put me in such a calm state. Good holds. Delicate movements. A beautiful line up that curving white streak. And the below par pro that makes you know that you have to be in the zone. Classic.

Via right-hand finish. Quintessential trad face climbing at the grade. With 2 racks of wires (including RPs) this is extremely well protected and can be done safely ALL on passive pro. I got in 3 stonker bits of gear to protect the entirety of the traverse, so I'm not too sure why its regarded as dangerous? The only runout I encountered was at the top, when I got sick of stopping to place gear and decided not to place any for the last 6m. Enjoyable rock, movement and not too sustained.

	17 17 R	★★★ Missing Link - with Nick Chappell	Trad 30m	★★★ Mega Classic	Cameron Roy
Gear much better than expected. Placed a couple of tiny wires but also lots of bomber big wires too. Crux for me was at 3m. Then arrange good wires before an easy traverse and some more gear. After that it was consistently thought provoking but not scary. Great route! Looks like I toproped this 5 years ago so it's a mere redpoint, but I didn't really remember anything useful.
