Felt loose and poorly protected

I did this before the bolts went in, thinking it was The Garden's Full of Furniture - the upper section probably is. Start is reachy and hard for 19 unless you come in from Scourge

Gear is ok but pumpy to place

Was very serious before the bolt went in!

I found the first pitch quite runout after the start (even going R)

Great climbing, probably 23, bolts need replacing. Takes a small wire after last bolt.

Hard start which is difficult to protect. Not the greatest rock. Top crack is nice. I was surprised by a nesting bronzewing pigeon exploding out of her nest at about half height.

Crap with a chipped hold.

Tres vegetated

Top crux is very reachy. Climbing is good, but not awesome.

The bottom bit is quite good. Second shot.

Could actually be ok if it ever got any traffic

Finish is runout, not the start.

I find the crux awkward and hard for the grade.. and the top bit thin on gear. Climbing is ok though.

Pumpy to place the gear. Good climbing but all over after 10m

A very slippery crux down low. Pretty slippery up high too!

Takes lots of blue aliens - but the climbing's not that great

A bit thin on gear

One very hard move...

very short and a bit scrappy

Good for a micro route!

Nice

Some days this is desperate, some days it's fine!

Technical and pumpy placing the gear

Wow! Super technical. You can have handholds or footholds but not both. Would be a very demanding lead. I think gear was OK but placing it very hard.

Two red cams handy

Ok for a bit then loses it. Quite hard at the start.

Thin bit in the first half then R and L up the wall

Three tricky sections.

You could be forgiven for thinking this was 19!

I found this quite hard and a bit scary. Wondered if hexes would help in the podded crack - these days link cams might do the trick. Backed off it one day and then lead it next time.

24 If you ask me! I kicked out the RP above the roof and lost it - slumped onto a #1 RP. Went back and did it later. One of the best 24's at the mount. Don't bother with the second pitch, it's rubbish.

Second day with a howling wind! I quite like this although it is old-school and wandery.

Second pitch is quite cryptic! Had me stumped for quite a while.

Awesome. Great climbing and rock.

Seems very hard for 11 and considerably harder than The Eighth
