Stop-start, but cool cruxes! An excellent second warmup.

2nd shot. Best line I climbed at this crag!
My onsight ended at the last bolt, tickling the good fingerlock. With no chalk on this, I felt like I battled hard and improvised well, only to be pipped at the post. But it wasn't for lack of trying, so that's okay Great rock, super techy moves, and an obvious feature to climb. We belayed from ground level, and had no problems with rope drag or length of fall. |

Can't claim the onsight, cause I'd done the start on Bee's Knees
The crux is very much the gnarly start boulder. The upper bit through the roof is fun, and not too hard, but the bolting is kinda ledge-fall-y. Not as choss as it looks, either. |

FFA. 2nd shot. Thanks Viona for letting me free this awesome face route!
Cruisy slabbing to a good stance at the 2nd last bolt, then its all on to the finish, with very technical climbing following a weird feature up-and-right -footwork was key! Great fun, and excellent vision from Viona! |

As good as advertised. Short'n'sweet, with really interesting technical climbing. Fairly sustained at the grade. I bet that upper crux surprises a few people.

For some reason I decided the obvious hold out left at the top was off-route (on the line next to this), and ignored it. Since when did I contrive climbing? 2nd shot. A really great route with a lot of climbing despite being short. The top boulder is rad!

"No, not the bees!" ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVCrmXW6-Pk )
Prior to today, I've never been stung by a bee. Now, I can proudly say I've been stung by 5 bees, and I'm apparently not anaphylactic. That's two things off my masochistic bucket list. Sweet! I haven't got a bee in my bonnet, I've got one in my helmet (now a weird red welt, for some reason). Also: the bees on this line at the moment are crazy active. Apparently falling off the upper crux and landing in the vicinity of their hive is enough to make them go berserk. Meanies |

Nothing physically harder than grade 23, but lots of technique and committment called for. I climbed the arete direct all the way to the top. Almost a classic (but for the poxy start, and the overall shortness).
