Pretty sure this was the right route down and to the left of the cave and on the left side of the boulder. fairly easy slab with a biggish move at the end to a good rail at the top.

Again not 100% on this being the right route but the grade matches what it felt like we climbed

Not sure if I had they right beta - went up on obvious holds and didn't know where to go - straight up felt too hard and out left felt too easy. Feet is good though.

FFA. 1st FFA. Yay. Nice warm up with more bark than bite. With Luke and Wayne.

FFA. Sit start seems harder the taller you are. With Luke and Wayne.

Awesomely thin. [4]

FFA. hard!

FFA.

FFA. Short crimpy line with a reasonably tough finish. Felt harder than "Glen's V4" but don't think it's a 5. Took more attempts than 'The non-friction section' but that could just be style. Guess I'll have to see what others think. [10]

Almost flashed then got it second shot. Ticked as a V4 because I didn't start from the pinches; it's too contrived. Took the more natural start and pulled directly onto the rail. Only felt V4-ish from there, so don't know if the "proper" start sets the V5 grade or not. Might come back and try it from the pinches. [2]

Has more sting in its tail when you have come through the roof.

Got a pretty good flash pump.

Warm up to show Markus and Alyssa what's what.

Again, beta slave for Markus and Alyssa.

Almost onsighted, but foot slipped after the mantle Sent next shot. More interesting than Redbank Gillete Mach 3. [2]

In thongs.

Warm up in sneakers.

It's OK!

It's OK!

Excellent line, power crux sequence followed by endurance climbing + mantle. Happy for the send!

Probably close to V4 in todays' conditions but if friction was really good could be V2. Hard to stick and match that sloper at the top and watch the topout - there's some loose rock (not to mention the tree!!)

Warming up. Good fun.

Great boulder. [4]

3rd try

Really enjoying these slabs here. Feeling a massive improvement in placing my feet and pressing them with my ankle at the right angle to make the most of the foothold ... Love the delicacy of slab movement.

Cool stepthroughs.

Good value for a V2. Right foot slipped on the onsight (it was a recurring theme by this stage). Got it second go. [2]

Loved it. Sit start is very dependent on height or the number of mats you can stack...had to start with right hand on lowest chalky gaston and left hand up on undercling. Made for a more powerful start without adding anything to the boulder. Think it's much nicer as a stand-start from the right side-pull and left undercling—would make it a super good V3/4. Regardless, really nice moves once you're established. Again, had trouble with my right shoe slipping off. [5]

Really cool. Soft V5 or maybe V4. Starting at Gravel Pit would make it more convincing at V5. [3]

So classy.

FFA.

FFA. bit of fun.

Was good once I'd uncovered all the holds. Should see more repeats

Inventive footwork to compensate for weak core. Took a few shots

FFA. Improbable beta. Good addition I thought! The creaking flake above the R starting hold was not used, so if it breaks no biggie.
