Crack project | Don't Bother | ||||||
Maybe for the masochistic to start from the back wall of the skinny cave and offwidth roof crack climb out to make it worth it. Otherwise small battle to get started, not worth the lantana and grass itch, bats were more exciting, a walk up. Vertical hand jam back towards the highway would be great if it was ten times longer.

23 | ★★★ R-ocktane — 2 attempts - with Petros Khalesirad | 10m, 4 | ★★★ Classic | ||||
Projected this climb for months, climbed clean on top rope next is to move to lead. First part of climb is super technical and you can pump out really quicly. Top half of climb is a scramble at best. Suggest it to be a grade 23 as the first part of the climb is like a V6 boulder problem.
