Three more attempts, feeling better every time
	28	★★ Let There Be Bolts	Sport 13m, 6	Barnett Park	★★★ Mega Classic	Miles Mason Winther	Sat 16th Dec 2017
Four tries, including two one-hangs. Feels like it shouldn't be too long before this goes...
	28	★★ Let There Be Bolts	Sport 13m, 6	Barnett Park	★★ Very Good	Miles Mason Winther	Mon 15th Jan 2018
Another three goes, with bad conditions, managed to one-hang every time, feeling stronger, just need to keep trying I reckon!
	28	★★ Let There Be Bolts	Sport 13m, 6	Barnett Park	★★ Very Good	Miles Mason Winther	Thu 18th Jan 2018
One go to the top with one hang, the other abandoned halfway, feeling weak
	28	★★ Let There Be Bolts	Sport 13m, 6	Barnett Park	★★★ Mega Classic	Miles Mason Winther	Sun 21st Jan 2018
Got it! Great route, loved every attempt on it.

The large jug with vegetation growing out of it up and to the right of the third clip is not part of the climb - not in the Rock Deluxe guidebook but a useful piece of information for anyone wanting to send this route
	28	★★ Let There Be Bolts	Sport 13m, 6	Barnett Park	★★★ Classic	Chris Hailey	Sat 1st Feb 2020
Just as we were walking out we looked at this and knew it needs to be worked out haha wrecked from a day of working rubble, made all the moves and some good links will go. Time to rest for tomorrow’s attemps

	28	★★ The Zimmerframe Owner Strikes Back - with Richard Flinn	Sport 15m, 5	Britten Crag	★ Good	David Jefferson	Thu 16th Sep 2021
Pulled off a possibly important hold at the crux. Still feels doable, but nails hard.

Quite an emotional ride on this one today. Definitely figured out some beta, but some sequences are still elusive. Feels harder than 28 to me. Maybe that hold I pulled off was helpful…
	28	★★ Silence Of The Wombats	Sport 15m, 6	Britten Crag	★★ Very Good	David Jefferson	Thu 30th Sep 2021
Got the crux beta sorted. No feet above the head for me! Very keen on this one!

	28	★★ Silence Of The Wombats	Sport 15m, 6	Britten Crag	★★★ Classic	David Jefferson	Wed 1st Dec 2021
Got the beta mostly sorted, should have a good chance at linking it all together soon. Crux is not where I expected it to be!

High point today, through the roof crux but falling at the head wall. Making progress, but still find this one hard.

16? That’s a sandbag and a half.
	28	★★ Let There Be Bolts	Sport 13m, 6	Barnett Park	★★ Very Good	David Jefferson	Sun 19th Dec 2021
Found the first few bolts to be easy, but going to need to work out beta for the upper bits.

So good.. Even better than slim shady. Sent on a 29 degree day.. Felt like tonsai clinbing! 28 felt right.

Climbed past the crux on the third go, only to ping off on easy ground when I got lost. Got it done without too much drama in the end. Chuffed to send my first 28 since moving to NZ, and quickly finish off one of the routes on my 2022 tick list.
	28	★ She Devil - with Richard Flinn	Sport 8	Barnett Park	★★ Very Good	David Jefferson	Sun 9th Jan 2022
Opening the account. Climbed through the crux first go but pumped out on the sloper traverse into Gorilla Grip. It’s all there, just need the power endurance!

Good progress today, figured out how to make the crux clip and pull the big windmill move. Probably a 2 attempts per day kind of route for me.
	28	★★ Let There Be Bolts - with krp21	Sport 13m, 6	Barnett Park		Alex Popinga	Sat 19th Feb 2022
Fun moves! 🌟 dynos, gastons, iron cross
	28	★★★ Boss Combo	Sport 25m, 8	Wye Creek	★★★ Classic	Ryan Yang	Sun 20th Feb 2022
Managed to do all the moves on the first go. Some of the sickest moves I've done on a rope.
	28	★★★ Boss Combo	Sport 25m, 8	Wye Creek	★★★ Classic	Ryan Yang	Tue 22nd Feb 2022
Never thought I'd climb my hardest route on an average Tuesday afternoon after work. 2nd redpoint burn and 4th tie-in. Superb route!
	28	★★ The Random Element	Sport 15m, 6	Babylon	★★★ Classic	Troy Kendall	Wed 23rd Feb 2022
Linked all the moves besides the crux.

One hung 2x’s, very close to the send but stymied by the wet undercling. Really excellent, flowy moves in the one. My favourite at the Cave so far!

4 attempts, consistently getting it with one hang, but hard to keep it together for the crux. Maybe not surprising given the wet hold.

Good connies and slight beta refinements were the winning combination for the send. A bit of an anti-style for me, requiring some serious power endurance. Feeling ready for some of the more stout Cave objectives now!

Figured out much easier ways to do the crux and top out, but clipping the 3rd still feels nails. Progress!

Being my 3rd day on, I didn’t expect much from the Cave session today, but ended up climbing through the crux and getting it in one hang. Not quite as good as She Devil but still worth a lap. Should go down soon.

Made good progress today, linked from the start to the crux and from there to the chains. I’m now fully hooked on this line, such fun moves!
