Only had time to check this one out. Was getting dripped on the top half, didn't mind though as it was pretty warm in the sun. Good fun, little stiff for 21.

Fun and engaging climbing. Next time, need to not stop moving midcrux because I'm a bit scared, then I would just get pumped and scared at the same time (not good).

23 ~26 | ★★ Plenty O'Toole - with Payton de Ruyter | 12m | ★★★ Classic | ||||
One of the most impressive and beautiful bags of sand I've come across! Absolutely stellar crux which is easily as hard if not harder than Supercal. The crimps are so small that even when you climb up and stand on them they make poor footholds! Very keen to come back and try again when it's not in full sun. Extension looks mega!
|
|||||||
24 | ★★ Ah, Miss Monneypenny - with Payton de Ruyter | 10m | ★★★ Classic | ||||
Great climbing that rewards good body positions. Murderously pumpy for such a short route!

Couldn't resist another short sport route on the way back to the car after Mr Big on our 'rest day'. Was stoked to onsight a 22 after the multi, but here it's 21 — moves felt a bit hard off the ground, but I guess you only have very few of these in a very short climb, so 21 makes sense. Like a boulder problem.

An awesome sequence through the crux, in retrospect a little fatigued after 2x days of multi. Took a hard catch on the 2nd clip and messed up my right foot, was able to push through and work all moves to the top and clean.

Extremely thin, reachy, crimpy. Felt much harder than the pitch above, maybe a few holds have come off, or maybe it just demolished me.
