Perhaps unsurprisingly this is a pure crimp fest! The start of the climb is quite fun before the vertical section starts. Made a few links through the cruxy very static crimpy section directly above the horizontal break. The top half is a little smoother - not sure it would be after linking what lies beneath. And then there's the view! What an awesome route!

Crux moves felt better this time around. Still have to psych myself for the move up and through the overlap - some staunch layback/pinching, high opposing smearing and teeth gritting get you through it and into a beautiful but nails finger line. Will need a serious bowl of weet-bix (and a few more T.R's) before having a 'proper' non-top-roped go at this.

oof whadda day. First day trying to lead it, went really well. New high point but also took a gear ripping whipper, nothing too bad just banged my knees up a bit on the swing back into the wall. Jumped but on tr after that to really dial in the redpoint crux. Did that sequence countless times and linked it to the top whilst very fatigued so good for the psyche.

Weird sesh. Head wasn’t really in it and I think having 3 weeks away from it just needed another tr rehearsal sesh. Although managed to break a huge chunk off the side of the crack at the end of the crux. Climbs a little different, maybe slightly harder, still goes. Linked from the last 2 moves of the new crux to the top so idk.

One top rope refresh lap went well so back on lead. First attempt was very jittery, hadn't been on it in a few months and the last time I took a huge gear ripping whipper. Still made it to the end of the crux before coming off. Tried again and made it to the last 2 moves of the red point crux up high with much less jitters so pretty happy with that for first sesh of the year.

'Attempt' is being polite. I flailed on this hard. I've given Michael so many catches it was overdue I had a play. The first half is nice and easy but not trivial. Maybe grade 18 and I've often wondered about it being a route in its own right as the two sections are so different in style and grade. At the roof the doom music kicks in and its just ... hard. I may have done about 4 actual moves total on the head wall between sags

This route is freakin awesome! such good climbing and probably my favourite at the grade/style at Gara. Not sure why but upon rapping in and cleaning up a few holds (possibly hasn't been climbed in over 25 years?) we thought that this might be pretty straight forward. Not so. Was going okay until I blew the onsight by breaking off a hold. Had a few rests after that working some of the more committing moves. Had a second go on top rope and was stoked to get it clean. I'd love to get back on this and lead it clean from the ground up. Get on it, Gara classic!

Not quite sure how to log this I wish there was just a 'note' non-ascent ascent type. I rapped down this, gave Michael a catch on chicks, then jugged up and was intending to lead this later. Barely 3-4m up I saw a fluff on my rope above, as I got to it I saw core. It's totally shot with 2cm of unsheathed core and bends completely 180. Brand new birthday rope used only a handful of times, and cut almost exactly at the half way mark. Gutted, did not climb at all. Still not clear exactly what cut it and when.

Alec had to bail just before we got on it. The froth was bubbling over when we found this, lots of pinches and tufa features and wavey rock, mushrooms which are actually solid. Was guessing it was about 18 but as I climbed it kept ratcheting up. Clipping the 3rd bolt is spicy, may need to be moved. Fell at crux at 5th bolt, so pumpy! Easily one of the best routes at gara
