Flashed a route, pink pointed a route and dogged a route.

26 ★★★ Kiss Me Deadly Trad 30m — Classic

The new gear beta is great walking or unclipping behind you, leaving just 2 reds at the first lip and two yellows at the second. Fell at crux again, the jams are fine I just need much more weetbix and more stamina. — with carol lee, Michael Moore, Matt

22 ★★★ Cloud Grazer Sport 18m, 6 — Classic

Repeat for the paparazzi. Did something weird at the top and missed a hold and did a funky rockover to finish — with carol lee, Michael Moore, Matt

22 ★★ Morning Glory Trad 20m — Good

The first third is horribly hollow and loose for gear but otherwise climbs well. Topped out on the ledge. Didn’t do the crack which needs a good clean. Not inspired to lead it — with carol lee, Michael Moore, Matt

Michael Moore updated a route at Upper Gara Gorge and mentioned Brendan Heywood. • 65 • 12 days ago

Updated 1 route.

Updated the route 26 ★★★ Kiss Me Deadly.

Changed height from '35' to '30'. — Changed style from 'aid' to 'trad'. — Changed route grade from '20 M1' to '26'. — Added personal stars '★★★'.

Updated beta description.

~~Start: The double roof on the southwest section of the cliff. Up crack and around first roof to second roof. Out this (M1 aid at lip) then up the final fingers~~ Start down on very small ledge (build a semi hanging belay). Follow easy ramp slightly right to first rooflet. Short boulder through this and up easy slab crack into the big main roof. Bust out this through the lip turn (crux). Continue up pumpy headwall then tackle the final third rooflet boulder problem to topout at DBB. Original aid route exited left through vegetated alcove, must do third rooflet for the full tick. ~~section to exit left into alcove.~~

Edited route history.
