Great route, always a fun warm up
	25	★ Power Curve — 3 attempts - with Jess Cotton	Sport 18m, 5	★ Good	Kyle Johnson
Should have got it second go, made the dead point to the jug but brought my foot too high for the next move and it pushed me off. Went 3rd go no problem, fun big moves. Will definitely be harder for shorter people.

		Unknow	Sport 20m, 6		Pak
I thought it was the 19 but cannot even pass the first bolt then I realized it is not 19 and not in the guide book. Seems like 25+ to me.
	24 Hard	★★ All That Remains	Sport 21m, 6		Pak
Cannot find a way to pass the 3rd bolt on the face. Moved left to the ledge, then move right again to get to the good hold on top of the next ledge.

	17 ~20	★ Get Kerfuffled	Sport 20m, 8	★ Good	Jason
big sandbag. you will get kerfuffled if you think this is a 17. it is simply not a 17 - at the very least not by the standards of the other 17s right next to it by the same FA, one of which I lead happily in jandals, this had me swearing.

	22	★★★ AP32 — 2 attempts - with Jess Cotton	Sport 20m, 6	★★★ Classic	Kyle Johnson
