Still gets very good despite being a link-up...it's a better start than Gotham and the same end so...

Fell off last crux move to Hueco. Got it after a bit of play and finished straight through to chains via dead-point.

Great climb. Loved the big deadpoint to finish....the only respectable finish

Memorable. P1 - veg. P2 was excellent climbing. P3 start was fairly perplexing initially but managed to find some on-grade beta. P4 - Got up into the roof proper and essentially gave up - poor form - aided a 2m section and then freed out the last squeezy sideways section, taking my helmet off mid squeeze.

First 26 in Aus! New beta through top crux and fresher skin did the trick... Still as thin as I remember though! Psychedd!!

To last bolt and had fallen off so many times on the top section by then I was getting really angry and not enjoying it. Lowered off. This band of rock on this wall I always find tricky.

Felt desperate to me - could only do about 20% of the moves so more of an aid TR! Haha. Terrible effort.

Climbed it so much better 2nd go.

1 fall.

1st shot today. Mega Mega classic...possibly the best I've been on.

1st shot.

One fall. No op for a 2nd shot as friends waiting to climb it too.

Rpt on way back.

Mega Classic for overall position, feature, climbing, experience.

Awful conditions. Rapped to top of p3 but ascended rope again as the bottom pitches were totally gopping with sea spooge. I led p4,6,9. Aided through a gopping flake on p5, and the gopping finger-crack on p7 A1 style. Great climbing. Will def come back when it's dry...great sea cliff adventure.

First real 25 in a day! 2nd shot. Psyched.

So close for the the onsite!! Woof...lots of thin hands. Learnt a lot about foot technique on this. Whipped and rested but fought hard to climb the rest of the route. Really awesome.

Fell at 2nd crux on 2nd pitch. Silly fall ...climbed straight through from there no problem.

Went for the link-up onsite. Fell at the brilliant technical crux and took a few good falls before getting the best sequences. Very inspiring route.

Rpt warm up.

Onsighty flash. Knew roughly where the crux was and draws were on. Great route...watch the x-marked blocks nr top.

Woof. Led the p1 off-width ground up, no gear in Ramadan. Spicy. Brilliant lead on p2 by Mitch as his first trad 20 lead - fantastic pitch all the way to ledge at 55m (ish), cruisy p3.

P1 - Lead Onsight P2 - 2nd clean

Fox life.

How will you climb it?

Led pitches 1+3

Sustained, awkward and classic. We had BD 2x4, 1x5, 1x6 (plus some other stuff) and it was a safe lead that way.

First crimpy thing I've dared try with my injured finger buddy-taped into open-handed position. Quite tricky! Great climb though.
