Gargoyle Wall
	18	★★ Gargoyle	Trad		Shawn
Exited right to get to belay ledge instead of left
Sat 11th May 2024 - Te Tihi-o-Kahukara / Castle Rock
The Keep
	21 ~22	★★ Falling Buttress	Mixed trad 20m, 7		Shawn
Went from the base of the crag and continued up past the ledge clipping the extra bolt to top out proper. Roughly 30m and feels like a 22 doing it this way.

Sat 11th May 2024 - Diamond Harbour Crag
	21 ~20	★★ London Lassitude	Sport 12m, 4	★ Good	Doug Wright
Boulder like start requiring upper body strength. Poor feet but jugs. Afterwards sustained but easier climbing

Decent.
	14 Hard	★ Rarified Atmosphere	Sport 12m, 5	Crap	Doug Wright
Crap rock with some questionable blocks. Not enjoyable

	26	★ Grumble	Sport 7	★ Good	David Jefferson
Warm up.
	27	★ He Devil — 3 attempts	Sport 8	★ Good	David Jefferson
Quite a nice linkup actually, and harder than Gorilla alone given that it also passes the crux of Rubble. Possibly 28 but easier than She Devil in its current state, so who knows? Either way, good training for Trog!

	24 Easy	★★ Seismic Activity — 2 attempts - with Richard Flinn	Sport 15m, 6	★★ Very Good	Thibaut
Loses its third star due to the wandery nature of the climbing. A great route nonetheless. Was touch and go in several sections; haven’t tried this hard for a send in a while.
