What a bottler of a boulder. Amazing how often you walk past a potential classic. A great battle for the end of the day, providing plenty of laughs and a little bit of spew.

Oooh very happy to land this. Tried a few more times with the thought of the V4 link-up but erm it was not happening.

Ouch.

So good I did it twice.

Oh no. I broke it. Sad. Was feeling good about this too and then on my second shot I pulled off a crucial hold. It might go with a start further right but it’ll add a grade or two. Broken hold is tucked away at the base of the boulder directly below where it used to live.

Such a gem

What goes up must come down.

Phwoar. Maybe. Skippy got super close. Great Castle Hill training!

Good moves in the cave but a bit friable and snappy pulling the lip…

A high quality, unsuspecting find!

Fun times

Nice to get up this. Might've used the Cave ladder to sus-out and clean last holds

Had a wee tickle.

Did 75% of the route and felt good but didn't want to commit over our single pad...yeah I know.

V....what(ever)?! Bloody hell, this'd probably get a V5 in the New England. Can't confirm that though cause I couldn't finish it ;-D

worked for it. Good problem and seemed hard for the grade.

got a couple of laps in on this number under headlamp in the dark. Some frogs and a massive tape worm snapping at small insects on the water surface kept us entertained inbetween shots.

All the overhanging, off-witdth crack training you need. Such a burly struggle from the sit start. Reached my high point again above the lip but couldn't get my feet on anything useful to finish....another heartbreak

Surprised to grovel my way up this again. Love a good grovel.

Seemed to go much easier this session than I remember.

a fun tricksy number

Fun times. A total Skippy thing to do.

A sneaky send on dusk enroute home. Love this route.

...had to relive it.

Nope. A little too optimistic for this time of the night. Needed Nathan at hand to recall how this went.

Nice head jam

Phwoar. Tough. Volo and I may've gotten a little too excited. Meanwhile while Michael and Skippy were discovering a classic.

Starts a little chossy but improves a little higher. Shoulda topped it out.... :-/

Great climb, awesome crew, spectacular setting. I sat down again pretty quickly after trying to pull on to this for the first time. very stepe and not much to hold onto. Funny how these things evolve though. Got up it with some technical toe scumming. Gotta love a good toe scum ;-)

Spiders just keeps on giving

short but fun

...if your're here anyway

a few options down here and a bit too dark/pumped to complete any of them.

Another splendid Gara surprise

a little contrived but a fun challenge with a little bit of commitment for the top out

nope ;-)
