So nearly the Flash. Stuffed it going over the bulge by hitting a shitty hold with chalk on it! Haha

Didn't have the steam after 5 runs on project 22s! Really sweet climb though.

20 Losing Streak Sport 25m, 12 Classic
Beautiful sustained climbing.

 
22 Muzzas - with Josh Sport 25m, 7 Mega Classic
I had to really fight all the way to the chains from the overlap on this one. Brilliant and not easy to onsite - could easily be 23 (and is on some other websites).

 
18 After Bush - with Josh Sport 25m, 8 Good
Great variation but fairly shifty rock quality. Be very careful moving up the upper corner - lots of big loose chunks of rock. Belayer should stay out of fall line for upper section.

 
18 Stolen Thunder - with Josh Sport 25m, 9 Good
Nice little climb this.
