I had one hang, I am terrible at slabby crack apparently. But it has a super fun start, quality rock!

Dirty and wet. Seems like it hasn't been climbed in a while. Need lots of friction

20 | ★★ Mr Squiggle - with Tom Bes | 15m, 5 | ★★ Very Good | Thu 8th Jul 2021 | ||||
easily one of the best climbs here! GET ON IT! its clean and dry and waiting for your filthy mitts and slippy slabtastic feet. And for some extra flavour try on gear! (until final bolt)

Another repeat of this tremendous climb. So great. Lots of thin crack techniques possible. Went for the PAS to anchor clip for maximum karma.

25 | ★★★ In the Groove - with Tom Bes | 15m, 6 | Sun 13th Nov 2022 | |||||
saw some recent activity and I was inspired. (Read: someone else cleaned the sand off yay). As first climb I planned to dog it trying to warm up. Turns out I needed to aid it to get anywhere. Something to come back for when I'm in a sport climbing mode at the theej (which is a rarity). After our shutdown the heavens opened and the glorious red triangle frog took to the trees, presenting a cathedral phenomenon I had never seen before! But then I got rocked by leeches and played host to one the whole drive home. Rollercoaster of a day with minimal climbing but many mems

Always walked past this. Glad to have had a go today. Strenuous and balancy lackbacking..hard. Kept coming off between 4th and 5th bolt. Possibly cooler temps could help

21 | ★ Mushroom Mantle - with Wade Stewart, Leah Zerbes | 12m | ★ Good | Mon 18th Sep 2017 | ||||
This climb really defeated me mentally. I felt quite scared putting draws on & really struggled on the red point attempt. I'm not quite sure why I couldn't get started. I couldn't reach the sloper at the anchors statically either, which made it challenging - it's too slopey to throw to, for me.
Thought I was climbing pretty well until this climb. Disappointed with my effort today.
