First pitch a bit slab climbing but relatively easy. Second pitch is better and more fun I would say going up the crack. Grading first pitch: 19 and second pitch 20.

Nice slab climb. Really dangerous crux move between 3rd and 4th bolt where if you fumble the clip you'll fall and hit a ledge, I'm not the only one who's taken an injury off this route. Still a good climb, just consequences could suck.

This was the first route I ever climbed, never finished it the first time, almost never form into climbing because of it, so it was awesome to flash this route.

Really challenging 16! Tried it a few weeks back whilst being quite tired and got destroyed, underestimated it big time. Good climb, I climbed quite messy on this day but managed to grab the send.

It's spicy and quite technical. Had to get creative with the beta for this one.

This problem will always have a special spot in my heart. I worked it for way too long and sat under the roof looking out over the river for way too long.

Albert Botha
Tue 11th Oct 2022
This traverse was more fun and more difficult than Altered Ruins. The foot work required a few toehooks and heelhooks which are always great. Again be aware of what you pull on as one of the rocks are loose but I'm doubtful that it'll come out.

A pretty fun travers. You can use both of your legs at the start by placing both of them in the large gap at the bottom of the boulder. You can then release both of your hands and just reach for the next hold. If you decide to use a heel hook it'll be more difficult. There are a few loose rocks so check what you pull on.

Tue 28th Mar 2023
The most beautiful boulder I've found so far. The slopers on this climb are the definition of the word. I believe there is a more static way of doing it but I used the big hole + righthand crimp to get my left foot on the start hold and then slam up to the first sloper with the left hand.

Amazing top out.

I love this boulder. The diagonal lines on it is very uncontrollable for the area. So get on it.

Use the faaaar left foot if taller or the sneaky left heel if shorter.
