18 Purple Pincer Pocket Puller (Purple Pincer Pocket Puller P1) - with Alexei Drummond
1 18 27m lead by Alex Popinga
Sport 27m Eua Classic Mon 15th Jul 2019
Easy fun flake at the start, followed by slight overhang sustained to anchors (past the tree branch brushing the rock). There is a full body jam just before the pumpy part for a hands-free rest and plenty of juggy pockets though. A bit slopey pulling up to anchor but hidden pockets. Beautiful long, fun climb! ♡

19 the Muppet Show - with Alexei Drummond Sport 29m, 11 Eua Classic Sun 14th Jul 2019
I was a bit too scared at the start with the sharp overhung rock above more sharp rock - really afraid to fall! After that, with a nice rest in a cave ledge, a smooth jug traverse to a crack and stem, followed by fun crimp slab with a hidden jug by the tree jutting out from the rock, and then easy as to finish in a HUGE cave at the anchor!

 
19 Thirty Four (years) (Thirty Four (years) P1) - with Alexei Drummond
1 19 23m lead by Alex Popinga
Sport 23m Eua Classic Mon 15th Jul 2019
Sort of a boulder-y start but super easy with grippy jugs. Goes left onto the face and then traverse right. Nice ledges to rest on along the way. If you don't have a nice jug, just keep moving and you will find one

16 Whale Access Pitch - with Alexei Drummond Sport 7m, 4 Eua Very Good Sat 13th Jul 2019
Fun little route up a squeeze chimney if you want and onto a nice juggy arete to a grassy ledge with a big cave and lovely sea view just before the anchor

 
16 Beginners Wail - with Alexei Drummond Sport 20m, 7 Eua Classic Mon 15th Jul 2019
Follow the crack/flake arete, with jugs all around. Really nice climb
