A wild outing, one of the best for sure. A lot of names come to mind that should have a star or two removed when compared to this.

Two brilliant pitches. Stepacross is pretty full on. Will be back for another crack at that arete

Probably 24. Awesome climbing. Every style possible all in one climb. Amazing

Big wild run out quest....

So sic

Simon's photo of Stephan in the guide has always captivated me so this one has been on my list for a long time, great to work up the nerve to actually try it! Struggled a bit but managed all the moves, placed a red alien in the early horizontal and wished for bigger cams up higher on the the run out easier ground. It's going to be a good one to pice together next time.

First pitch = choss central. Second pitch = scary, hard, but beautiful.

Ooooo big link today, cool

Fuaaaken whadda line. Did the moves and made some noice links, would be a nice one to proj post summer training maybe.

Start is hard, and the crimps are sharp. Bailed pretty quickly, thought it best to save the skin for something else.

Mega!

My style but it was too cold and too tired to onsight. I never quite figured out how to clip the second bolt on the arete but skipping it isn't a problem and the rest is probably a bit soft for 25.

Great route with interest the whole way. Definitely stick clip the first bolt!

This is 50m of full value dusty black sandstone slab. Alyssa Smirnova put the draws up and was cruely denied on the last move after 45m odd of runout beta intense slabbing 💔 in intermittent showers

Crux is a tricker

I nearly fell 3 times on the second pitch.. made it to the tree grunting and pressing

Those faint of heart need not apply

Really fun slabbing, right up until the mystifying top crux. Either need some fancy beta, fancier footwork or to grow 4 more inches..

Insanely good! This route has it all! (Including seeping holds on the bottom crux )

Another 29 proj to add to the collection.

Climbs really well. Not chossy either except just before you start the roof and that is pretty much avoidable. Ps what a difference a rest day made.

Awesome! Way more interesting and arete-y than I expected. Kinda a bit scary, even. Just the one exploratory lap (with a lot of time spent piecing it together) but there was still one sequence near the top that I never really figured out. Totally my style, for sure!

After getting thumped by the top crux on black heathen, my ego still had weight enough to not stick clip the first bolt on p1 and jump off to the ground when it turned out to be tricky. Disappointingly misread the start, yim showed us how it was done after waking up from a crag nap. The rest of the pitch went swimmingly and loved the heel toe cam in the flake up top especially. Tim quivered his way up p2, i was pretty stoked with a mostly clean 2nd (shafted by the roof).

Was an epic fight on an epic line. Basically no experience arete climbing, and this route delivered the goods.

Absolutely mega line. Two sits on the first pitch just sussing out the stemming techa's. Fantastic pitch in its own right, proper variety of styles.

Pitch 2 is true class dancing on the arete. Couple of sits figuring out beta for a few sections. Keen to get back and try send both pitches.

Stonker of a route. Very trad first pitch indeed, the step across took a while to commit to and then arete'ey goodness to the top. Got heartbroken by punting a couple metres from the anchors, chuffed regardless.

Awesome route, supposed to be a rest day but with draws up I couldn't resist. Equal parts pulling and technical, stunning line.

2nd shot. Almost a classic, marred only by the somewhat sandy start -though, it wasn't as chossy as I was expecting, and is much better than Soul Catcher P1. Quite easy at the grade (24?) but committing through the crux, and tricky to read when unchalked. Was a cruise 2nd lap, though.

My unchalked onsight of P2 ended at the 3rd last bolt (and the last real move) when I finally made a footwork mistake, with all the hardest climbing in the bag . Despite being aesthetically ugly, the moves on both pitches are brilliant, and I had to pull out every slab-climbing trick in the book on the onsight effort of P2. It was dissappointing to drop the ball right at the try-line, but it wasn't absent a whole-hearted effort -I tried hard.

Linked both pitches from the ground with minimum rope drag.

The start of P1 is rather nails, but the initial moves its only about gr21 to the top.
