The Pharos and Surrounds Pharos Gully Heckle and Jeckle Area
	9 Hard	★★ Girl Talk	Trad 18m	★★★ Classic	Inaki Voelcker
The most fun I've ever gad on a 9, extremely scary with great moves. You could definitely protect it better than I did but looking down a few metres at a shit white tricam gets the heart pumping

	16 ~15	★★ Libretto - with Cassandra Kay Silva, Tim Schofield	Trad 50m	★★ Very Good	Karina Schofield
Fun, hard if you can't layback or jam. Did it as one pitch to save time, the rope drag was a bit heavy towards the end.

Lovely climb.

Maybe I'm just a wimp, but kinda scary on lead!

Teensy holds and fair old runouts. Not my idea of a warm-up (or of a 16) but enjoyable! Modern bolts are always lovely to see.

So good! Sloper was very wet so that was interesting. My BBQ scraper came in handy. Got it first go of the session.

What a crazy hard V2. Dyno'd to the top because who wants to use tiny slopey crimps?

Mega. Can pull of the ground and touch the next hold, but the holding on seems crazy. Transitioning into the V5 looks tough as well

Comically slipped and slid 5 meters down the hill directly next to the boulder but didn’t fall, so I preserved my onsite? I guess?

Turns out the beta is way easier than I thought, just a dynamic launch you have to go for, for a jug.

Had tried it going to the large jug a year or more ago. But decided to not contrive it this time. Did the move going to the pinch in a few goes then first shot from the start.

Gotta make sure to not stray too far left. I went way off route, think I climbed half of MOAB accidentally. Went back down and top roped the interesting bits the right way which were amazing. Gotta go back to send it properly.

Northern Wonderland Range Venus Baths Stoplight Boulder
	V10	★★★ Stoplight Arete	Boulder 4m	★★★ Classic	Fraser Gust
Another nemesis boulder! So psyched! Thought this may not go for me because I can't span the method most people use and it always seemed very anti-style for me regardless. Turns out all I needed was to find different beta, get better, stronger, more mobile, try it in colder weather and spend more sessions on it than any other boulder I've done!!!

First half especially is awesome.

Should be a classic of the crag. Considerably more fun than anything I did at west flank yesterday. I might be warming up to you I forgot

Actual quality route, a serious must do of the crag. Very happy to get it this quick despite being day 3 and everything hurting

	24	★★ Ignorance & Bliss - with Dan Bodd	Sport 12m	★★★ Classic	James Vinnicombe
I think it could’ve gone with another burn but we had to head off. Insanely fun climbing. Genuinely one of my favourite crags at the Grampians - some nice powerful routes but also good variety when you’re not feeling it. Bit of choss but that’s ok. Thank you bolters!

The overhang was pretty on, glad I didn’t warm up on this one. Definitely a cool climb if you ignore the very tempting boulder.
	19	★★ Stallone - with Dan Bodd	Sport 22m, 8	★★★ Classic	James Vinnicombe
Awesome route. Thought provoking in a good way (cerebral but not terrifying).

	21	★★★ Pathos - with rhys	Trad 28m	★★★ Classic	Chris Bailie
Good times - took a few falls, broke some gear fear. Crux beta felt quite desperate for the grade, involving a burly move off a finger lock into sloping layaways to gain the jug - maybe there's a better way...
