Loose block at the start, we tip toed around the left to get established on the Stormbringer crack. Lead the second pitch, awesome corner crack. Watch out for a loose looking block when exiting the steep first part of the second pitch. Last pitch is a bit committing on lead but short and powerful. We added some cord to the rap tree. Bring some extra sling/cord for the rap, as the existing tat is old and shouldn't be trusted.

Yoyo style again. The gear around the crux is small and fiddly. Probably fine if you are feeling strong. Felt a bit sandbagged, but maybe it's because that was the last climb of the day. Bring some sling/cord for rapping of tree.
|

20 | ★★★ The Lonely Sea - with sean | 50m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Avoid yanking on the chalked (??) loose block in the middle of the first pitch. Great second pitch, did it yoyo style. Lead it to the top after Sean handed me the lead. Tricky wide section. Rap anchor is on the left when topping out.
