Classic granite finger shredder from Steel Fingered Steven. Excellent cross training for my projects at The Piles!

got to the last bolt just fine, but getting from the last bolt to the anchor was a whole other game. i didnt find the move, had to pull the draw to reach the next good hold up higher to be able to finish and clean. had a cool fall at the top falling between the branches haha

Surprisingly really good climbing, couldn't slab out the last few moves

Did all the moves up to about the 4th bolt then wtf. Great climbing. Top section is mental. I’m wondering about the grade. If the top section was isolated as a boulder problem, what v grade would it get? Is it pushing v7/8+? Whatever the grade inspiring line. Huge respect to all who have sent it.

I thought this was 25, may have had a few more holds in 2004 by the sounds of it! Really good face climbing.

		★ Highball Crack - with Alex Argentov	Trad 10m	Black Hill	★ Good	Lewis	Sun 6th May 2018
Fun little aid crack. It's a shame the bolts for the direct finish above are missing nuts and hangers. Probably M2, might be M3?
	26	★★★ Never Tell Me The Odds — 3 attempts - with Anthony Cuskelly	Trad 18m	Black Hill	★★★ Classic	Matthew Robbins	Sun 14th Jan 2024
Yep, its pretty damn good! Came off between 1/3rd to halfway on the flash go and then threw a toppie down it. Most moves free (pulled through one) plus mostly all linked on toppie. Tried for a redpoint attempt but with little skin left on the fists, decided to stop before I did damage. Not keen on another mega crack wound but the route is definitely doable. Thanks for enabling me Anthony Cuskelly 🎉

Most of the moves done except for the mantle into the scoop. Really enjoyed this one, made some good links down low. Really sharp and quite a few hollow holds.

	25	★★ Bon Voyage - with Tim	Sport 20m, 5	Black Hill	★★ Very Good	Tom Hodges	Sat 29th Oct 2022
Had a couple of good burns falling just before the mantle into the scoop. But holds kept breaking and had to keep changing my sequence. Don't know if someone needs to glue the big undercling jug as it is super hollow.

	25	★★ Bon Voyage — 5 attempts	Sport 20m, 5	Black Hill	★★ Very Good	Jesse Lovery	Sat 2nd Mar 2024
Everything to the fourth bolt feels great. Took a few takes on the way but the moves are there, hard and bouldery. The last few meters seem pretty blank, will probably take another session to work that one out and then one more to link.

2 goes. blew the onsight after the crux moss patch started breaking apart, and the moss footers began to crumble....

Steep and spectacular, on sharp crimps, flakes and side-pulls. A bit beyond my abilities though...

Epic route and one of the best if not the best here; deserves more attention! Featured rock with varied moves the whole way. Went third go. Felt impossible initially then slowly unlocked the sequences.

Opening the account… cool line. Full on onsight tactics but no dice. Nicely rebolted

Jeez, couldn't commit to go up after the last bolt! The nut and hanger on the first bolt were pretty loose too might be worth bringing tools

well its a nice climb, but quite hard for the grade. under the roof was very wet and quite hard to jam. through the roof was just shit, i did aid a few pieces to get past it. past the roof is a fist crack and wider at parts, can layback and use a few features on slab or stick your whole arm in there!!! need 3x blue and silver cams if you don't want it scarily runout or bumping it up a long way to stay protected. will try again when cave is dry if i come back here.

	21	★★ Questionable Paternity - with bob	Trad 17m	Black Hill	★★★ Classic	Chris Bailie	Sun 5th Nov 2023
Need to learn to off width. Made a little slowprogress with butterfly jams and R knee in the crack but pulled on gear to save time and energy. Cruisy and fun from where it narrows to fists onwards. A classic by Black Hill standards for sure.
