★★★ Lock Stock
![]() | 20m | ★★ Very Good | |||
A very fun route with decent holds everywhere you want them but enough off balance and slight overhang to make you feel like you are working for a lot of the moves. Will come back for a clean send on this one. Final move on lead adds a bit of spice too.

![]() | 28m, 9 | ||||
Nice route, good warmup, has a couple sneaky to find holds that keep it interesting. Couldn't find a crucial foot at one point and rested to see it as I didn't want to get flash pumped on my first route if the day.

One of the best routes I've climbed in ages. Alex removed the mallion from the anchor on her decent so I had to go back up it again on top rope to replace 😂

★★ Catastrophist
![]() | 20m, 9 | ★★★ Mega Classic | |||
One of the best routes I've climbed in ages. Has a bit of everything, crack exposure, ring locks, a little teetery ledge movement, mild overhangs a small snake. Excellent.
Also Alex removed the million from the anchor on her decent so I had to go back up it again on top rope to replace 😂

Interesting boulder. The intricacy is in the first move. Top out is tentative but as long as you have reach pretty straightforward. I don't think it has hard enough movement or holds to be V7.

Really nice moves and good holds, some bits that are a bit tricky and force you out of comfort. Makes for the grade.
Felt like it should have gone quicker, generous holds most of the way but a bit of awkward footwork prior to gaining the crimp (or I was overthinking it!).
Excellent route, nice mantle to finish too.

Still can;t get my head around committing to the final move. Did feel the sidepull prior to the lip this time though, so new high point and figured the beta for the sidepull switch to undercling that I will use around the 2nd to 3rd clip.
Nice route, looking forward to ticking it soon.

I did a slight variation on the route, moving into the start holds from a dynamic move below but still a stand start. Felt like a more logical start to the line and adds an excellent dynamic 'gyn' like move before the rail. Excellent Bloc.

Pedro had a line up Loosing Fingers, so decided to have a run at it despite my dodgy knee!

Excellent little boulder problem, great move with an airy feeling that makes it spicy even if it would be pretty tricky to get wrong once in motion.
I would say the move on this is easily harder than any part of The Rick White problem at Toohey forest (famously reported as sandbagged). It is a one move wonder but that one move is harder than V4 imo. |

Not sure if I finished this correctly, if I am meant to stay left, avoid the last bolt of the route to the right and run it out to the anchors up the easier ground on the LHS. Then the Crux before that defeated me. But if it is meant to go right to share the last bolt of the route on the RHS before heading to it's anchors then I did all the moves but with multiple rests. Going L felt very hard!
