eod felt hard in the sun without much left in the tank

Crux was a little bit too baffling for the onsight.

fun. had to use good beta and also try hard

One shouldery move, then jugs

Cool crux sequence, pretty punchy.

Top roped it to feel out the crux. A tough couple of moves, but once you clip the second bolt you're home and hosed. I think it'll send with a few goes.

Techy crux sequence. Satisfying to get it done.

Lowered over it and hung the draws. Slightly harder one move wonder.

Bouldery start to steeper jugs. Pleasant enough, nice rock, but short. Like most of the routes here. 4 laps.

Ruined the flash by getting limbs tangled in the rope somehow. Went second attempt for my first 23!

Yay, only my second 23 onsight! Maybe a tad soft for the grade? It was bloody cold and my fingers hurt like hell though...

Wow. Awesome crux with a reachy , shouldery and commiting move. Then cruise to the anchors. Onsight and red point grade are now equal.

2 move wonder, but great moves and a bit of pump as it eases off after the crux. Would get more stars if the was more of it! Happy I flashed those 2 moves!

Technical few moves, again tested my fitness.

Read the crux from the ground, got it right and then its all jugs to the top. Much like the other routes, over too soon.

Third attempt, just one move I found tricky. Awesome climb!!

Repeat onsight from back in the day. I nearly dropped the boulder start but once you stuck that its all over. Fun

One tricky move then jugs

Faux limestone, or just slippery and ripply

Bouldery goodness. Short but fun

fell off that first move, all good on second shot.
