Little sad to send this old friend.

Figuring out the beta! Got a heel hook to clip the second bolt in a way that makes me feel like I'm not about to die! Progress! Could go in a few more sessions!

Just thought I'd give this a burn on top rope while it was up. Had to take a rest halfway up. What a beast.

Pulling on, trying moves. Doable, but needs a lot of work.

Repeat to see if I could

I love it when a plan comes together! I climbed this while talking and laughing and had such a good time, even spare energy at the top, what the hell 🤣🤣

Today this felt harder than yesterday, like impossible 😆🙈😩

I’ve been eyeing this route for years and finally ready to attempt it. Had so much fun on it and looking forward to the next time 😁

Really had to put up a fight for this one!

Tried again, just not strong enough to string all the moves together yet, will try again...

Punchy climb. Tried once on top rope before.

Great climb, lots of powerful pumpy moves with technical feet. Can't wait to send it.

Lots of good holds and some very burly moves. Feels like a long boulder problem. Definitely suits me. Dogged up to figure out beta and then sent on first redpoint attempt despite not climbing very well. Just pull hard!

2nd Go

On the way out of town, first thing in the morning with star jumps to warm up in 6 degree weather. Run it out clipping beta worked.

Still struggling to come to grips with SA grading. This felt bouldery 23AU at least to me. Maybe I'm just weak.

Was meant to be a smash and grab on the way home from a different crag. Not to be. This must be sent tomorrow morning!

Cleaning it, noticed some much easier clipping beta - hopefully.

Super cool. Technical, bouldery. Working out moves.

Burn. Didn't rest long enough. Fell at tricky, heel hook clip. Too knackered to go again.

Personally think it is better than a 3 star
