	18	★★★ Sands of Time - with Tian Nothnagel, Jarryd Gosling 1 16 25 Sport lead by Fryhoff du Toit Nice little introduction pitch. The top bolt is missing but that section is easy and didn't mess with my sendy mindset 2 18 20 Second lead by Tian Nothnagel I followed this superb pitch. It is well bolted and great for the grade, the last 2 metres to the anchors is just a bit of a head scratcher 3 17 20 Sport lead by Fryhoff du Toit For me, this was even better than pitch 2. The exposure coupled with good holds served for an unforgettable time 4 18 32 Second lead by Tian Nothnagel I followed in Tian's footsteps up this notorious stukkie friction slab but managed to slip off my feet trying to remove one of the quickdraws and therefore botched the clean follow. You will need to be comfortable at the grade to lead this pitch.	Sport 97m, 22	★★★ Classic	Fryhoff du Toit
Deserving of its classic status. Would love to return and lead the other pitches.

Echo Wall
	21	Echo Wall (Wimp) - with Ollie Rattue 1 21 Trad lead by Matthew Robinson Much harder than it looks from the ground. Aided up to clean the pitch and figure out a sequence. 2 18 Second lead by Ollie Rattue Headwall offers sweet moves and a spectacular position. 18 is about right if you traverse left to use the big flake. Easier if you take the direct line up.	Trad		Matthew Robinson

Echo Wall
	21	FA Echo Wall (Wimp) - with Matthew Robinson 1 21 Second lead by Matthew Robinson That crack is much harder than it looks. It actually overhangs. Aided through on lead to clean the dirt. I seconded it clean, but it's powerful laybacking. The traverse kick right move is so cool. We found a really cool pitch here. 2 18 Trad lead by Ollie Rattue Marked as redpoint because I had rapped down the wall to check out gear and features. I couldn't make the mantle move work so ran it out left to the dodgy flake and traversed back in. Quite heady doing route finding on the FA, climbing into and out of dead ends and traversing around to find a line. Matt found the mantle move works with an undercling. This headwall is awesome!	Trad		Ollie Rattue
First ascent, semi ground up! We ended up doing the wimp version through the roof. I tried the roof but pulling limit moves off a single microcam was not doing it for me. Needs a rap inspection to ensure there is gear and map out the moves here. The headwall is awesome, lovely climbing, protectable but you're going over the roof into the air if you whip!
	17	FA ★ Original Route - with Matthew Robinson 1 17 Trad lead by Ollie Rattue 2 14 Trad lead by Matthew Robinson	Trad	★ Good	Ollie Rattue
Took a fall at the start of P1. Odd size crack that made for a better layback then a handjam. Clean from there to top. Ground up onsight FA. Rock quality was good, nice hand jams, fair amount of lichen, felt old school trady like you find on the Apostles. First line up the buttress. Pitched it out but saw it can be combined into a single pitch.

I got through the first crimpy crux first go, but every other bolt I still needed to work out. No way this is a “soft” 25, it’s legit and it’s awesome! I only had one burn in me today 🤪

I got to the top today 🕺🏽😅 But hot dang it’s a hard crux. Still need to figure out the rest of the route to make sure I’m not so pumped when I approach the crux 🥵😂 Everyone says the rest of the route is easy, but I still think it’s sustained 22/23 with a hard 24 crux 😬 spicy little thing
