V3 | #43
Sit stat at the bottom of the large scoop feature on the left. | Contos Beach | |||
★★★ Futuristic Cave proj
Line of holds that actually extends all the way to the back...links have been made by various climbers over the years but the ending is elusive as the holds run out near the end of the cave and topping out looks hard and highball depending which exit you take. Have seen a corner press from a sit start get very close to finishing off the ending though which could be ~V10 on itself if done...adding the whole cave line would make for an epic! | Contos Beach | ||||

V3/4 | ★ #33 Direct

V5 | ★★ 2 Scoops, 1 Cone
Sit start at the diamond as for Single Cone, then trend right on slopey holds to finish on jugs (can even extend and finish on 2 Scoops Licourice Icecream for extra pump). Cool sequence. | 4m | Copper Rocks | ||
V7 | ★★ The Dragon’s Lair

Classic lowball. Sit start with good slot right down low as for 'Heuco at Home'. Climb up, and trend left (avoid good jugs of 'Heuco at Home').
