Last route of the day. Feet were so sore.

Took me an hour to work this one out. Great climb, very well protected.
|

23 | ★ The Shining - with Keyvan | 20m, 2 | |||||
Not wanting to face hospitalisation or worse, but still wanting to tackle this face, used a clipper to clip the 2nd bolt of DOE then finshed at its 3rd bolt. Probably about 18.

|||||||
18 | ★ Doctor of Everything - with Keyvan | 25m, 3 | ★ Good | ||||
All sport. Finished at the 3rd bolt, couldn't face another climb up the central crack.

Classic You Yangs style, first 6 meters relying on a questionable 0.75 cam.

Basically no gear until the first half. Enjoyable top out.

17 ~20 | ★★ Wicked Wanda - with Jet Winter | 15m | Don't Bother | ||||
I would not attempt this climb on lead again. What the hell is up with the traverse to the right? The rope runs over a sharp edge below you, there seem to be no obvious holds, and the horizontal crack is actually a fused seam that you can't protect. I went up it thinking I might try the 21, but I wasn't even willing to do the 17. What it appears you need to do is mono crimp/pinch a crystal and mantle the upper slab with a high foot, but there's no way I am doing that with a rope severing flake threatening me below and no other protection.
|
|||||||
23 | ★ Take a Hard Ride — 3 attempts - with Jet Winter | 10m, 3 | ★ Good | ||||
Pretty bouldery climb. Felt a bit like a tall V5. The first bolt is very low, so you might want to stick clip the second bolt as it's a bit of a risky sequence otherwise.

21 Hard | ★★ Winter Solstice - with Jet Winter | 18m, 3 | ★★ Very Good | ||||
Second go. I found the elusive hold just above the first bolt right away this time, climbed a bit further to the left at the top than before, and sent it. Much more gracefully and in control, a lot less scared with the slightly different beta.
|
|||||||
21 Hard | ★★ Winter Solstice - with Jet Winter | 18m, 3 | ★★ Very Good | ||||
Terrifying as an onsight attempt. I completely froze near the third bolt after struggling to find holds, just staring blankly at the rock, feeling scared and slowly peeling off, but I snapped out of it. Forced myself to look around again, found a hold I missed, and topped out. Annoyingly, my slips were all just after clipping the first bolt, in the easier part, because I didn't see a good crimp above me. I didn't use a stick clip, placed a black totem and a yellow totem in the crack at the start instead.

Great little slab. Scary. Harder at the start

Best climb of the day, ugly off-width which has a nice fight to the top. Just different and nice compared to the crappy face climbing which is dominant in you yangs.
