Probably the worst route I have ever climbed, certainly at Araps. Between the garden of the first pitch, the poor rock of the second pitch (which makes for poor gear) and the overall poor quality of movement, I can't stress how much you should avoid this route. Generally I'm I think any climbing is good climbing, but I was really questioning that here. Sure there was some nice chimeny moves on the top pitch, but 5m of alright climbing can't make up for the remaining 95m of garbage.

What a silly climb. Really is the epitome of a silly hobby though. The rock is silly, the holds are silly, the anchor is silly. Even the descent is silly. Just to top it off, I climbed it in a silly way: I watched POV gopro footage of Cam sending it. Lots of fun. Not very hard though.

Feels a bit cheap and degrading to work out all the gear for a route, rack all your nuts on draws ready to place. Sort of turns the route into a sport climb. Guess that's how you climb hard though. Certainly harder than Straw Dogs so I reckon it goes at 23. Powered out on the last move of the crux on the previous attempt, and took a nice old lob. Managed to bring it together for the send, even if I did forget to organise gear for the top out and nearly blow it clipping a nut with a cam biner.

Should have got on this sooner. I got Alex to lead the second pitch so I can't really say, but I didn't think the second pitch was as intimidating as I had heard. Pretty soft for 18 as well. Just about pumped out on the last pitch so reckon that's pretty accurate 19.

Every pitch has something: from the from riding the flake like a bull on the first pitch to interesting crack and the mad flake on the second then strange shallow chimney stuff and finger jams on the third. Thanks Ewan for geeing me up to lead out across the flake on the second, if it weren't for you I certainly would have had a rest on the gear before finishing the pitch.

20 | ★★★ Juggernaut | 30m | ★★★ Mega Classic | |||
Real battle. Got 1 of my crucial big cams stuck low down on the flash go and had to bail. Second go, I thought I really wanted it and got within a metre from the top and ran out of juice. It was the most disappointing fall ever. Even though in truth, I really was just worn out and unable to climb further, it felt like I just gave up and didn't try hard enough. What a failure I was, a beautiful route and I couldn't be bothered to just keep shuffling for another few moves. Call myself a climber? I knew I had unfinished business and had to get vengeance. Not vengeance at the route, it had done no wrong, it had simply been the scene of my demise as a climber. Vengeance against myself. But then, I couldn't get back on it the next day because of the rain, and then it rained again the next day. As I sat there in camp, watching the mizzle come through hour after hour, Juggernaut was sitting there with me, filling my thoughts with hand-fist stacks and bumping sixes. Juggernaut is so dominant in my mind I struggle to see the appeal of climbing any other route. "what's the point, the're just pieces of rock?" Juggernaut is my only desire in life. Then, on the last morning of the trip, the sun was out, a cool breeze was blowing and the rock dry, and I had my chance. Half past six in the morning, I went down the cliff, a quick warmup and it was go time. Shirt cuffs taped down, trousers tucked into my socks and then also taped, a dash on my hands as well, and it was into battle with the old girl again. It was feeling good, the fist jams felt as secure as they ever had. Upward I went, even the arm bars felt good. Then at last, the last few metres of hand-fist. Ever upward I journeyed, my faithful #6 cam guiding the way. As the fatigue set in, the heel-toe cams started thrashing, and the knee-locks were slipping. I was suddenly greeted by the marginal face holds and I ventured out to say hello. Mistake, my knee-lock all but slipped out and I was left trying to drag myself back into the crack with my stack. "Do you really want this? Do you?" my brain starts nagging at me to succumb to gravity. "Do you want this?" "YES I DO!!!." BNAG!, I'm back on the charge, desperately shuffling to victory. I'm finally there, dragging myself up the top out. Clip the chains and collapse. I'm free from my burden.

Nice moves, certainly not 21, just meeting 20 really. Set out with all the wrong rack, and had a real scare fest. Thought I saw the Grim Reaper up there but manged to fend him off for another day with my profuse swearing. At one point I considered slinging or even jumping into the nearby pool noodle of a tree. Really reinforced to me that continuing to run it out expecting a good stance and obvious gear is not a safe way to climb, sometimes you need to stop and place fiddly gear even if it does mean risking falling. Risk falling to climb safely, as counterintuitive as it may sound.

wooo, what an experience. "One more route before it gets dark?", "yeah we've got time." Some hours later on the second pitch, I'm trying to work out the awkward squeeze chimney as the sun is rapidly setting - "uggh Alex, I'm not really felling this, can I come down and you lead it?". "Do you have some good gear there" Alex replies. 'Beauty, he'll let me lower off' I think. "If you do, just go for it." My heart sinks, all along I knew I was committed and there was no bailing off, but I still entertained the idea. Not anymore. I decide I'll leave my backpack- with my torch in it- clipped to a piece of gear to make the chimney easier. I have never felt more alone on a route. I'm placing gear, but nuts feel like Lego bricks and cams like children's' toys. My rope feels like a piece of string and the rock some contrived torture device. The only thing keeping my alive is my grim determination. I've never over gripped so much in my life. Eventually I reach the ledge and crawl over. Suddenly I have a spiritual awakening. The purgatory, is over and I have reached heaven. All my earthly troubles leave me and I am greeted by peace - but the immense loneliness remains. As I stand there trying to build an anchor in the gloomy twilight, I consider 'maybe I have truly died'. I call out to Alex, expecting my words won't make it between the realms of heaven and earth. Surprisingly I hear a reply. I'm no longer sure of my spiritual place, 'if I can hear Alex, I must still be alive, but the the peace I fell does not exist on earth.' As I bring Alex up, gradually the world rematerialises around me. I hear the sounds of other climbers below me, and I see the flashes of their head torches. As Alex reaches me, I no longer feel at peace, the conflict of real life has returned, but with it, has come the company of other people. I cannot describe whether it is better to be at peace alone, or in perpetual conflict but with the company of others.
