Strange how a big break can change one’s opinion of spicy routes.. where previously the lack of bolts was of some concern, looking at it today it seems they may not even be necessary and it could go just on gear instead… still have to work out the moves but this makes it all the better…

Finally got it. Having rehearsed the start two cruxes over a few sessions, it was a relief to be climbing past them. However, the added pressure to not blow the send meant I climbed the rest pretty hesitantly and overgripped a lot. Nearly blew it at the top but I crimped my heart out to stay on and make it through.
Would be 4 stars if not for the heinous start. I recommend just winching yourself up to get to the starting crimps. |

Forget face climbing - get IN the crack! What a climb! Yes it was filthy and slippery and it was also character-building and quality offwidthing practice - even my partner new to trad enjoyed it! I got most of the way clean, with improving technique, but didn't quite reach the bomber fist jam without needing a rest from the battle. It wouldn't be an offwidth if it didn't win the fight. Def a couple of 4s needed for sanity.. get on it while its clean(er)!

This is absolutely sensational. Maybe 3 or 4 falls in the first try, and then I sent it on the second proper try. I didn't have to take the first couple of falls, but I reckon the delicate top would have always got me on the onsight attempt... What a beautiful route, well worth doing the first moves (without aiding), piecing the middle sections together calmly (plenty of rests, especially a no hands rest in the middle), and then challenging your mind to keep calm on the moves to the anchor!!

This beauty is protected by a nails start and a finish that requires summoning of the combined power of them 'cahoonas'.
There is a ledge of redemption where one can introspect about their life decisions which lead them to this wall. Resting and breathing is the key to this climb apart from the fact 'feet are the key in Climbing', which at one stage every climber forgets once the panic and Mr.Elvis sets in. Not gonna stop until I get this baby clean, as 'clean' as some of its holds. |

Couldn't get past the first bolt. The move felt insanely hard. Don't have that type of finger strength yet. Gave it everything I had, almost made it to the good looking horizontal crack, it was less than a cm way.

What a f*cking amazing line! Got the hard start, and got the heartbreaker end. Chilled at no4 for some reason! Should’ve gone! Oh well. Learnt a lot. Amazing, amazing slab!

A pleasure to get into this! Thin first 5-6. Then lovely climbing through the next 7. Tough at 21. But hey it's awesome.

Great fun. Placed a few wires up high, but the fall potential is pretty high

Liiiiittle bit same-ey but a lovely line up great rock the whole way. Really enjoyed it

But the start is absolutely nails… really difficult somewhat tenuous slightly highballish boulder problem before things settle down a bit… top is easier but still able to fall off I guess …
