didnt find the crimp after the blank section on my first go, got it afterwards

Top rope inspect and a play with the gear - found a bomber nut that maybe makes the run out passed the crux not so bad? Fiddly to place when pumped, but solid. Brilliant moves above good gear, a fantastic experience

A great lead! A tad bold but the runout is on easier ground. Wasn’t brave enough to attempt the onsight, but first shot after inspection.

Could definitely consider leading this

Just can’t find anyway through this crux.

I took what was probably the most spectacular whipper of my climbing career. I made it through the crux, only to end up hopelessly pumped on the crimps above. I fell off trying to latch to the good holds. I noticed the rope was a bit behind my leg, so I flicked my leg up to free it. That movement tilted me upside down. For the rest of the very long fall (maybe around 8 metres?) I focused on keeping my (helmeted) head away from the wall. Jed gave me a soft catch so I didn't slam into the wall too hard. It was nice to see that everything worked as it should and I was unharmed. Swung over to the bolt on the next route left then cleaned all the gear.

I was less nervous this time round (the gear had held, after all), resisted the urge to overgrip and sent!

Got all the moves clean after taking two falls at the Crux
