25 ★★★ The Regular Route - with Nick Sport 190m ★★★ Mega Classic
Wow just mega couldn't write anything to do this climb justice. Everything you could want! If your solid at 25(6?) Do yourself a favour and get on this (maybe wait for cooler temps 10c?)

P1 - kind of bouldery move gets you established onto nice face/ slab climbing, good warmup. P2 - the money!! Soo good and unrelenting the whole way. P3 - I found this quite intimidating but interesting moves in pretty wild position P4 - trad-ish onto rising face traverse (good repreive) P5 - great face climbing with some cool arete moves, felt pretty enduro but I was cooked... P6 - weird Start not sure on it.. Nice slab into cool rooflet. P7 - great face climbing with fun movement into slab, never to hard.
