Very cool route. Got lost at the very end of P2 and took a hang. Not sure what the correct exit is...ended up doing a boulder move foot over head mantle onto lichenous rock, which was clearly not correct, and hung on what turned out to be my stance piece. Turns out the topo line was wrong and has now been corrected.

	20	★★ Hot Box	Trad 40m	★★★ Classic	Cormac Tooze
3 Star routes at this crag are 4/5 star elsewhere.Exceptional climb with some sport like moves. And some traditional trad moves too. A great mix. Fought hard for the onsight. Gear is good. Can't recommend it more.

High quality route on amazing rock.
	18	★★ Escape from Purgatory - with Aimée Chiat Hook	Trad 28m	★★ Very Good	Cormac Tooze
Great route with a good crux, def 2-3 grades harder if u are short.

Brimstone Block
	19	★★ Brimstone Backfire - with Donny Brovado	Trad 20m	★★ Very Good	Cormac Tooze
Challenging/ hard and scary. Not the best rock in places. Had to take once as was super gripped, normally would go for it but the gear/ holds felt sketchy/ dangerous, best not take silly chances. The fact that I OS a 20 and 21 before might have lead to the energy drain, maybe. Will come back fresh to finish the job.

Unusually soft, else being tall helped. Such good climbing, technical crux, very good gear. Highly recomended and worth repeating.

Hellfire Buttress
	18	★★ Some Like It Hot - with Aimée Chiat Hook	Trad 43m	★★ Very Good	Cormac Tooze
Pitch 1 felt hard for 17, placing gear awkward. I found the next pitch easier although it looks intimidating. A good climb worth doing/ repeating.

The Pillar of Pain
	17	★★ Fear no Evil - with Donny Brovado	Trad 40m	★ Good	Cormac Tooze
Engaging/ amazing crux lower down, but the rest of the route after is quiet vanilla.

Didn't feel like a 22. If you go direct to chains using the small face crimps at the end before the chains, then you can make this a 21.

If it was any more 22 it would be a 25 😂. Maybe I was tired at the end of the day but this route felt very hard for the grade

	13	★ Wounded Warrior - with michael champion, allan wilson	Trad 25m	★ Good	Peter Hunter
Great climb to start the day and gain Lucifer’s Ledge. Highlight of the route is the top which is well protected and provides an athletic finish as you exit the chimney onto the face and pull through on overhanging blocks to gain the ledge. Finish feels harder than the grade 13 assigned ;-)
	15	★★★ Warm Up - with Michael Champion, Allan Wilson	Trad 32m	★★★ Classic	Peter Hunter
A fantastic route, well protected. Feels harder than the grade. We veered off left towards the top to stance on a wonderful ledge and missed the direct finish which looked like the crux but nonetheless was still an awesome climb. Logging as a send but will likely have to go back to send the direct finish! Route eats gear and I have since purchased another 2 cams to make sure I don’t run short next time We started the day with Wounded Warrior (very pleasant start to the day and worth doing) to gain Lucifers Ledge and then moved right to the start of Warm Up.
