	24	★★ Heaving Falcons - with Brendan Heywood, Matt	Mixed trad 15m, 2	★★ Very Good	Michael Moore
One attempt, fell turning the lip. Managed to figure that out quite quick and it's not too bad but the offwidth at the top is some proper type 2 fun that took a bit of working. Should go in another attempt or 2

	26	★★★ Kiss Me Deadly - with carol lee, Michael Moore, Matt	Trad 30m	★★★ Classic	Brendan Heywood
The new gear beta is great walking or unclipping behind you, leaving just 2 reds at the first lip and two yellows at the second. Fell at crux again, the jams are fine I just need much more weetbix and more stamina.

	22	★★ Morning Glory - with Ben Hope, Volodymyr K, Bryn Norris, Laura, Sophie	Trad 20m	★★ Very Good	Michael Moore
Really hard to protect. I bitched out on the first go because I tried to place the crucial nut before the crux and fucked it completely and below me was like a 0.2 in a detached flake as the entire flake section is all detached so I was like FUCKEN TAAAAAKE. Second go because this was after the like fucken 6 burns on kiss me deadly literally every time I’d clip my biceps would cramp stuck so fell on the crux. Great climbing though!

	20	★★ Rites Of Passage - with Michael Moore 1 Trad Rapped in and scrubbed what I thought was the line. Got to second bolt and ventured right into nothing, footer broke and fell. Jugged up the rap line and did some lichen archaeology and found the real line and then resumed from the second bolt clean to the top. The crux is start of the arete at the 4th bolt and pretty happy to flash the real line. Honestly tempted to log the whole route as a flash just to see if @best_of_thecrag pulls me up on it 2 Trad Kept going up this stellar hand crack as a single pitch.	Mixed trad 45m, 5	★★★ Classic	Brendan Heywood
This one has been on the list for ages and I should have done it years ago, its one of the best routes in the gorge! It climbs well and it's in a top spot

Was totally ruined after attempting kiss me deadly. Had a few comical prawn cramps. Got all the moves except the crux at the second bolt. Recommend morning shade and not sweltering arvo direct sun. Maybe 23

	23	★★★ Arrested Development - with Michael Moore	Sport 10m, 5	★★★ Classic	Matt Ryan
Dragged myself up, pulling on draws, with rain moving in. Excellent climbing in a stunning location - one to come back for, one day.
	23	★★★ Arrested Development - with Matt	Sport 10m, 5	★★★ Classic	Michael Moore
Amazing, super thin climbing in an awesome position. Only got to have the one crack due to weather but will be back for sure.

	21 23	★★★ Arrested Development - with Benji Dutaillis	Sport 10m, 5	★★★ Classic	Ben Vincent
Hardest 21 at Gara. Did Carol grade this? I reckon its a 23 at least and possibly 24. 21 pffft! A scenic and exposed very cool climb on small crimpers. Classic Gara at it's best. Will have to come back and work it for a clean send.

	24	★★ Heaving Falcons - with Brendan Heywood	Mixed trad 15m, 2	★★★ Classic	Ben Vincent
Wow, what a battle. I think I spent a few hours on this and had a few cracks at the lip before getting it. Just when I thought it was going to be all over the off-width began and had me taking off plenty of skin and wishing I took a camel back. I was cotton mouth and utterly spent at the top and loved every minute of it
	24	★★ Roof crack project - with Ben Vincent	Mixed trad 15m, 2	★★ Very Good	Brendan Heywood
Wow! The chossy start is a little off-putting but this thing is great quality after that. The traverse is good, the roof crack is great, pulling the lip is an utterly sick move getting almost inverted, and the sustained offwidth after that is just plain sickening I laybacked most of the offwidth cause that's how I roll, but it burnt me out, when I finally dragged my arse over top I wanted to chuck. Rope drag was bad, needs lots of long slings.

	23	★★★ Arrested Development - with Alan Ezzy	Sport 10m, 5	★★ Very Good	Brendan Heywood
First lead attempt, got to arete and 4th bolt and greased off but was pretty happy with that. Found the juicy arete jug hold which I completely missed the first time. I really should have done it again clean...
	23	★★★ Arrested Development - with Alan Ezzy	Sport 10m, 5	★★ Very Good	Brendan Heywood
First go on top rope, fell on the stretchy sideways move to the arete and rest on the crux of the arete at the top
