PUUUUUUNKS!! a lot of thoughts on this one - a real shame i couldn't finish it with Joe after starting to work it together a year ago. here's hoping you get out soon mate! i think the examination line that gets thrown around is pretty accurate. Really had to do my homework on it! felt nearly impossible with incremental improvements until suddenly i was on the crimps up top trying not to spew from nervousness... Feels kind of surreal climbing out here at the moment but very happy to find a moment of clarity at the chains for a minute there. Thanks to everyone who helped out with a catch or bits of beta!

1.5 hours dogging around, experiencing a piece of climbing history. Did all moves up to and including the birdbath drive-by. Struggled after, didn't really get stood up. Also struggled on the lower heel move, kinda managed it once. Toasted by the time I lowered off. A 20+ year dream to get on this route.

Punks shot #2. Hot, face melting. Was mostly keen to experience the top section. Climbed clean to below the heel move, pulled through. Climbed from the rest and stuck the drive-by, couldn't stand up, then pulled through. Did the rest of moves, not nicely, with screaming skin. Then drive 11 hours home!

Whoop! What a route! Super psyched on the style and the lessons it taught me. Given the history it was always a dream route. Quite the mental battle in the end. This trip (my 3rd on the route) I managed to pretty quickly cruise up to and through the birdbath. But I fell 9 times above the birdbath!, mostly trying to match hands after getting my foot on it. Tough to match this route as a lesson in technique and flow, especially the top half. Thanks to Marie for the many patient belays and to Will Monks for working it with me last trip.
