Did 4 laps on it. LH is not good, doesn't bode well for w/e plans :-(

Had to try the direct line on TR. 2 go's to it (6th to 7th bolt).

With Justin. Quite a bit of lose rock on it, but still nice moves. With some dedicated avoidance of the crux move, I thought it was more like a 14. The direct line would probably be a 17. A tad overdone with 8 FHs.

With Justin. Great route.

After Grant, Proude followed. What a great route this is

After Grant. Could not pull that crux move clean, 2 attempts, got it on the third.

Could not pull off that crux move so went left on to Razor.

After Grant. Not too hard on the hand, always a nice route tho.

After Grant. Failed miserably at the variant finish.

Couldn't pull-off the normal crux move after 2-3 attempts, but found an interesting variant that was a lot easier.

A classic.

The old classic, love it.

After Grant. Pretty straight forward, not much trauma to the left hand on this one.

The left hand defeats me yet again. Not looking good for future leading.

After Grant: still couldn't pull-off that top move clean - damn!

After Grant. Committing move at that top ledge.

After Grant, nice one.

After Grant. Always a nice climb

After Grant. Still couldn't make that crux move clean - damn! :-/

After Grant. Knocked the glasses off at the crux, so did that blind.

After Grant. 2 shots at the crux before I got the sequence right.

Too sapped after doing the other stuff. Couldn't pull off that traverse move so backed off :-(

After Grant. Seemed a lot easier than I recall. 2 rests; one at the first crux, one at the 2nd.

Needed a rest at the crux, but otherwise pulled it off.

Some 17 Darren. Bin a few years now, but its still ridiculous at the grade - maybe a key hold has come off?

Right royally stuffed up that crux clip a few times & had to take a rest. Had a few practice falls, always good stuff. Dave belayed.

With Grant. Pretty much got that lower crux down, couldn't pull off the upper crux on the DF.

After Grant. Nice little warm-up. Sure was warm down there today.

Grant belayed. LH is feeling a tiny bit stronger = this was surprisingly easy.

After Grant decided to bail. Pretty much got that lower crux down straight up, but cldn't pull-off the upper crux on the DF, so went with the 15 finish. The DF is rather committing with that ledge below you :-/

After Terry. Could barely manage that LH layback at the start.

After Terry. Managed the 2 finger layback at the start better than imagined.

After Terry. Bit of scrabbling at the crux.

After Terry. All good.

After Terry. All good.

After Terry.

10,000 rests & I'm there.

With Justin. Better this time, once I was into it.

Couldn't pull it off clean :-( Another defeat snatched from the jaws of victory.

With Justin. Had to back off it & come back after Date Anatomy :-(

A quick lap on it.

Almost didn't make it clean at the crux.

Really stuffed around at the crux, must have taken 4-5 falls there to get it. Left hand really protesting. :-(

With Alli. Memorable for my being a ginormous scardycat. First time on the rock in 4 mths.

With Alli. Much better after that initial shock.

With Alli. This one went better after the initial shock on DA.

With Dan & Thomas. Actually got up it clean this time - wonders never cease!
