Got to the crux with some juice still in the tank but then shut down completely. Even yarding past using the draw felt hard. In hindsight, I didn't apply Jamie's finger-lock beta correctly, but I doubt it would have made a difference. After that, I lost motivation and nerve and rested my way to the top. Will take a while to summon up enthusiasm for another shot.

Rushed the pumpy bit and fell off. Dogged the big undercut move. Grabbed the second bolt above the ledge to avoid a potential ankle-breaker. Did a few more moves with increasing rope drag caused by incompetent ropework. Threw in the towel. Would be much more enjoyable with a DBB at the ledge for re-threading or just doing the bottom half (preferably placed high enough to yard up and clip the next bolt to avoid the ankle-breaker). There are in-situ screwgates on the 2nd and 3rd bolts above the ledge that might have been left for this purpose (but then why not put them on the 1st and 2nd bolts?). Might try it again if I can work up enough enthusiasm.

Not so much smoked as aged and cured.

Dogged up hoping this might be Radio Baghdad but got shut down towards the top where the tick marks run out. Swung right onto the correct line to try the crux but no joy there either. A fun workout nevertheless.

Another round in the game of Nowra 24-slapdown. Seemed fair for the grade but a dyno too far for me

Tried this a few years back and failed at the second crux. Didn't get that far this time.
