23 | ★ Sticky Willow | 10m | Launceston (Cataract) Gorge | ★ Good | Mon 9th Nov 2020 | ||||
A few fun moves, but would need to be careful with gear as the rock on the LH side of the crack at half height is about ready to come out.

2nd shot. Need to have feet sorted at crux, but otherwise a great little route.

18 | ★★ Summer Campaign | 10m | Launceston (Cataract) Gorge | ★ Good | Mon 9th Nov 2020 | ||||

18 21 | ★ Out on the Streets | Launceston (Cataract) Gorge | ★ Good | Mon 9th Nov 2020 | |||||
Wasn't totally sure which crack it was meant to be, so I did a lap on each. Both easier than 21. LH narrowing crack climbs harder at top, RH crack easier but more consistent with perfect chicken wings.

18 | ★ Mr Natural - with Hayley | 9m | Launceston (Cataract) Gorge | Sun 5th Jul 2020 | |||||
Overhanging start and traversing the horizontal crack are both really fun. Leaving the horizontal crack for the vertical break is the crux and I found it hard to protect without a cam small enough for the horizontal crack. Takes small wires well otherwise. Freaked out and blew the onsight so just did it on toprope after climbing the arete to the right.

Definitely not 22 as the old guide suggests, but 19 seems a bit stingy. 20 seems fair. Probably harder if you have fat fingers.

22 | ★★ Barbeque Boy - with Steve Tristam | 12m | Launceston (Cataract) Gorge | ★★ Very Good | Thu 16th Jan 2020 | ||||

23 | The Lifetime of Opportunity - with Hannah Rose | 18m, 5 | Launceston (Cataract) Gorge | Average | Sun 18th Dec 2022 | ||||
No tick. The crux move was a reach compression deadpoint slap with smeared feet above a ledge. Kind of made committing to the ledge fall move at the crux less enticing. There is a great mantle move near the start but other than that everything was absolute max span and quite intimidating
