Better than expected roped boulder problem, but oh so sharp! Single bolt anchor.

Zero stars?? IMO this must be one of the better lines at Cattlestop. The glued hold is somewhat off putting, but the moves are good fun.

Family fun day, first day out at the crag with other families as parents ourselves. Definitely a lot more faff than I’m used to, but still a good time!

A bit wandery, but with good movement throughout.

Rather dirty initially but the crux sequence was actually quite nice once holds were brushed. I didn’t find it contrived to stay off the arête.

Pretty crimpy for the grade, good fun.

Barely independent of SJ, but worth doing.

Great positions, but a bit of a ramble up high.

Repeat.

Definitely harder than the grade suggests. More like 23-24 IMO, but only for a move or two. Consistently good to the top.

Fun roped boulder problem.

Unremarkable climbing, sharp and dirty.

Awesome stemming and balancey moves.

Nice technical climbing.

Quite nice, crimpy climbing that feels longer than it is. One of the longest routes at the crag, with perhaps the fewest bolts.

Decent warmup, but not very interesting after the first couple of bolts.

Tasty crimps, solid rock.

Repeat.

Run out start on jugs with a slopey finish.

Well that was a humbling experience! Probably the only time it’s ever taken me 3 go’s to tick the grade. Apparently my slab technique has fully oxidised!

Decent boulder problem warm up.

Repeat.

Repeat.

Actually quite a nice little climb. Short morning sesh out with the fam.

Couple of good moves on this one.

Repeat.

Jugs for days

Setting up TRs for sis.

Repeat to clean.
