24 | ★ Kattack Mode - with Pat | 10m | ||||
Onsight to the last move, then couldn't do the last reachy move at all! Still felt 24 with the first crux. Stepping left into Super Weak is probably the way to do this for shorter people.

Thompson's Point The Wastelands | ||||||
20 | ★★ Breaka My Pants - with Roope | 15m | ★ Good | |||
What's dirty, moist, and hard as nails? This route! Bailed into the 18 at the top. Might involve some interesting sloper climbing with a bit of a clean and drier weather.

Great route!

||||||
25 | ★★ Tickled Pink - with Ben | 10m, 4 | ||||
Onsighted easily to the last bolt (grade 22?) then took the whip four or five times, lowered down, got a stick and clipped the anchor. The fall is pretty safe, but it's hard to work out the crux dynos.
