Didn't think it was as trivial as the grade suggests, but did think it was very fun.

21 Hard Rambandit — 8 attempts Trad 12m Mega Classic
Zane Wentzell
The bottom is difficult but fun, being taller might help. I managed quite a few attempts and got to 'the hold' a couple of times before my elbow tendinitis got to the point where I couldn't even tie my shoes; can't wait to come back fresh and bag this splitter.

Best hand crack in NZ! Took 3 goes to figure out the start boulder problem, then went to the top placing gear. Gets V5 on castlehillbasin, but I suppose that grade only counts if you do it without a rope!

Probably the coolest problem I have tried. Came so close to the send but kept falling on the last move before the mantle.
