Wow. Amazing climbing despite appearances, and bloody hard for the grade. 3 shots, and all 3 shots (including the onsight) I fell at the last bolt, past all the crux moves and hard climbing, pumped absolutely silly. The middle crimp section is thin and sequency (and HARD!) and the top headwall is weirdly pumpy. The final mantle is scary but kind of cool. I measured this at just over 20m with my rope. Hard for the tick, but worth it.

Really great 24, super fun. Thin middle crux where climbing quickly is the key then a pumper top on jugs. The top isn't to hard just use your feet.

Oh yes! Biggest battle i've ever had on a route. I held on to things way smaller and way longer than i thought i could to get to the top of this. I was so pumped when i clipped the anchor, that both my forearms were in pain! So awesome! First onsight at the grade and i don't believe its an easy 24 either

Over cooked reading the crux on onsight, misleading chalk and ticks.. pulled straight back on but fell off the top as well.. 5 days in a row starting to hurt. Great route though, will do it next time.

1st 24 onsight and putting the draws on. So happy. Awesome route. Floated through the first crimpy crux, feet broke free getting the top ledge and easy up from there. Not even that pumped.

In the full sun, after 6hrs of bolting, and straight after coming down from Daffy... I was asking for a spanking and I got it. After faffing about at the lower crux, I backjumped it and went home.

Awesome route! Had a go to work out the moves then went for it with the draws in but fell from just below the mantle. Super varied climbing with a cruxy middle section that is difficult to read. Then the top isjust about staving off the pump which just got the better of me on the 2nd go. On the tough end for 24 maybe?

Despite rubbish wet conditions today, it was good to come back to this route (something of a nemesis quite a few years ago) and dispatch it relatively easily today. All the moves are great, and it features quite a few tough sequences at the grade. The thin middle-section was quite the challenge.
