5.12a | ★★ Womb with a View - with Meredith Apple | 10 | ★★★ Mega Classic | |||
What a classic! The move into the "womb" is crazy. Couldn't work it out on the fly, got it in a one-sit.

One to come back for if I'm ever back in the area. This thing might be the best route I've ever had the pleasure of dogging.

Another bash in dogshit misty conditions. Lower crux was pretty much mud but upper crux was dry. Worked on that and linked some sections.

Ferociously pumpy with a powerful crimp crux for the last couple of bolts. Fell looking through the chains pumped silly. Happy with that for a first redpoint go!

5.12c | ★★★ Forever Man | 25m, 17 | ★★★ Mega Classic | |||
Jugs forever with the hardest move waiting to slap you around right at the anchor. Oof.

Mentor Cave | ||||||
5.12b | ★★ Mentor | 18m, 9 | ★★★ Mega Classic | |||
Gave this a few tries. Links together some of the most fun steep juggery I've ever tried. Dropped my best attempt just before a knee-bar and thread rest but not even mad about it. Keen to give this another whirl.

5.12c ~5.12b | ★★★ Mr Todd's Wild Ride | 10 | ★★★ Mega Classic | |||
Couldn't figure out the moves traversing th roof above the WtLG anchor and bailed. Gets 12c in the local guide, idk. Hard and confusing roof trickery.

5.12a | ★★ Jumanji | 15m, 5 | ★★★ Mega Classic | |||
Awesome pockets and jugs spit you out pumped into a nasty edgy crux with shit feet. Couldn't quite make it happen.
|
||||||
5.12b | ★★ Da Riddler - with Jim Lister | 15m | ★★★ Mega Classic | |||
Great jugs and pockets up to a nasty crux that I couldn't quite figure out. All the jugs disappear and the remaining options all face the wrong direction. Gave this a good couple of attempts.

5.12b | ★★★ Watts Tots — 4 attempts - with Meredith Apple | 23m, 5 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Almost got it, ahhh well. Not sure if this is classic because it's good or classic because it was the first bolted face in Smith.
Regardless, it's got probably one of the coolest holds I've ever used on it. That weird spock/X grip in the crux is wild. |
