A slight change in beta made the crux a little more doable.

Very, very, very psyked to finally bag a clean send on this bad boy of a route

A very burly 511a. Beautiful holds, and moves, and quartzite. Deffinitely one to write home about.

So pumpy through the finish, so frigging good.

Not a bad climb. Actually, a pretty good time.

A little too close to 'trench warfare' on the right. Is it still legit if you borrow a hold or two from the neighboring climb?

Short, steep, sweet.

I bypassed the crux bulge with a traverse to the right. Seemed legit enough at the time, but I'll go back and try the route again with the intended crux sequence.

Traverse right from the top of the dirt ramp to a low hanging bolt (hanging belay station?), then climb up and right using sloped ledges and in-cut sidepulls. Climb left for the second half of the climb to a tricky sequence of crimps.

As you finish the first pitch, use the anchors on the right side of the arete.

If you love meathooks, you will love this.

sandbag. but great climbing.

Thin holds and tricky feet on a steep face make this fun yet satisfying.

Really cool climbing on the low crux (first to third bolt).

The guide book says this is the must-do climb for this wall. I can see why.

Excellent climb. It's nice to get that overhung with such good holds.

Watch out for muddy, slick holds near the top after fresh rains.

scramble up from the bolted belay to make the first clip. First crux is just above the second clip, second crux is by the sixth clip. Fun, steep, thoughtful and pumpy.

Starts easy, finishes slightly more technical, fun from top to bottom.

Good climbing on quality rock.

Nailed the direct start today just before the rain came down.

Stick clip the first bolt on the direct start. Climb upwards and right toward the anchors. Be careful not to stray on to Sister Ray on your right, and London Burning which is quite close on the left.

A nice, easy, steep section brings you to a technical crux on thin holds. Very rewarding finish.

One really tricky move down low before the first bolt, felt a little sketchy. Once your above the first bolt, the climbing is quite easy.

Nice rock, with good sun exposure. A couple of good, technical slab moves.

Really nice climb. Feels like an adventure getting to the top. A nice flake down low to the left, and a cheeky little overhang higher up.

Absolute classic. Great rock, good variety of holds, nice view from the top. Sustained 5.10a, an absolute must if you're in the area.

Be careful not to stray on to the neighbouring route to the left.

I couldn't wrap my head around the moves after the third bolt. Looked fun higher up, but I couldn't make it up there. Wound up down-climbing to retreat.

Some of the better foot placements are polished. But there are plenty of alternatives to chose from. Really fun crux move. Great climb.

Just as much fun as The Black Knight next to it, but slightly easier climbing.

Such good holds, but so much pump. Getting from the final bolt to the anchor proved too much. Tackle this one when you're fresh.

Great climbing, but one of the anchor bolts has detached. Might be worth someone coming by and re-drilling a second anchor bolt.

Really interesting moves in the lower and upper sections, with a good rest ledge in the middle.

Nice introduction to overhang, with big jugs the whole way.

Good foot holds for the duration.

Good for a warm up.

well protected through the lower section. Big reaches and thin holds on the crux toward the end.

Tricky moves from above the first bolt to the ledge when taking the direct start.

Transitioning from the steep arete to the final slab can be a little disconcerting. But the slab is grippy enough to trust the footing.

Climb through a little roof to a good rest ledge. Finish through a sustained slab section.

Take a good rest before that final deadpoint.
