Absolutely mega! Super hard to commit to the slab moves when they're spoooooodge as Fuck but really worth it! The run out is perfect

Made the first move, pumped out at the second bolt. Definitely some feels - spent a chunk of time well above the bolt contemplating the whipper I anticipated in my near future, before finding the saving grace which helped to the anchors. Looking forward to the send.

fantastic moves on the way up. Nailed the crux on my first attempt but got pumped out clipping the following bolt and had to rest.

What an awesome line! Almost pumped out after sticking the crux move, but held on and eased through the slabby top section. The top section is clean at the moment, get on it!

So glad I wasn't doing the top moves on lead. Big first move of the extension seems a long way off too. But those rope moves are amazing.

Continued after the main route, and took one fall on the big throw move. All went fine second go, but didnt want to go all the way from the ground again.

been a minute since jumping on something new here! granted it was 6 metres of new but it was great! slab at the top requires trusting the sandy slopey crimps. never been to the grit but feels something like how that looks

Date may be wrong. Very cool big move! Then it gets a little delicate as the holds are not very clean and the last draw is a little far. Worth it anyway.

Accidentally sent this trying to project bordella de merde. Turns out I needed to step 5 metres right at the chains of expectorant... Didn't expectorant that.

Claiming the onsight but did get told it was throw to the flake. Felt a little run out at the end.

The first move of the extension is probably my favourite of the crag! Doesn't give it up easily after that too what a ripper of a climb

The extension tips it into classic. Not that hard a crux move, not that easy a slab. Different solution for short and tall people.

Great climbing. Bottom is classic and top is great too. Too runout at the top for me, so we hung a double runner from the top anchor for extra protection. It's a great option for anyone with enough self-respect to want to have fun and don't care what anonymous internet critics think.

Pulled trough the crux completely pumped, but wasn't prepared for the change of style. Sat on the draw to complain about crap friction under the baking sun and deafening cicadas...next go for sure and best line thus far!
