V4 | ★★★ Nasal Slip — 5 attempts - with Christian McDonald, Sam Lavender, Shay melville | ★★★ Mega Classic | |||||
Best climb in NZ!!
tried it day one of the big castle hill trip and was on it for over 10 mins, with no send. i was all in my own head, and couldn't trust my feet. after watching harry and Sam flash it and Al send it, it was in my mind that i could send it. We came back on the last day and i send it at night, with a head touch, feeling was unreal, what a fantastic end to the trip!!

V3 | ★★★ The Fickle Finger of Fate - with Paul Annesley, Tim Lucas, Simon Wright | 4m | |||||
Last climb of the night session. I initially took the finger too far up and struggled to cut loose. Taking it further down and smearing on the finger itself before matching helped.

Really fun jump to start. Came close to the lock-off move.
