	22	★★★ The Odyssey - with James Wuu 1 17 30 Second lead by James Wuu 2 18 30 Trad lead by Joyce Delicate and scary traverse. My favourite pitch. 3 22 20 Trad lead by Joyce Hard 22 boulder move - had to be aided. Then pretty run out final stretch where a backup prussic system was devised.	Trad 80m	★★★ Classic	Joyce

	22	★★★ The Odyssey - with Eric Horn 1 17 30m Trad lead by Eric Horn Great, long first pitch, blue nut was stuck so had to go on the rope to free it, but wasn't a rest as I was more tired by the time I got it out (eventually worked out I could haul up on it to get it out, which felt quite freaky to be pulling up halfway up the route, banging on it was just scraping my hand and not moving it). Lost my smallest blue (medium) Metolius cam somewhere. We presume one of us thought it was hooked on our harness when it wasn't and it dropped, but who knows, discovered it was missing when racking for pitch 2. 2 18 30m Trad lead by Andy Baird Great second pitch, was not feeling it at all before setting off (looks so daunting) once I was established in the roof of the cave I was pumped for it. Difficult placement in the constriction at the top of the cave, lead to a nice "leg press" traverse. Good placements once out of the cave, and a freaky crossing to the "ramp/slab". Technical traverse with good pro, and careful feet placement. Interesting jump down from one ramp to the other (couldn't work out the reverse mantle) and went past the anchor point to check out if it was further (didn't feel I'd gone far enough). Pink tri-cam amazing in the anchor crack, and amazing views. 3 22 20m Trad lead by Eric Horn Climbed it all free, crux felt like 22 when you found the right holds on the right side. Another jammed nut, but flew up it to be at the top before dark.	Trad 80m		Andy Baird

Mega exposure on the second pitch. Don't get sucked too far into the chimney before trying to turn outwards.

Brilliant climb, very adventurous and committing. First pitch heady for a 17, 2nd pitch unbelievable exposure and climbing. Had to French aid the last pitch in the end after 6 attempts at the staunch beginning - super physical...ain't no finessing that!! Haha
