First ascent- came a lot easier than king Geedorah.
This route slowly wears you down… yes in isolation it’s easy. Going for the full pitch adds the punch |

2 shots. I had a pretty good (tenacious) onsight attempt, but the mid-height crux took me a bit to figure out.
On the second shot, I ended up linking from the initial traverse no-hands rest, to the top, through all 3 cruxes. I'll definitely come back for the true send, because this is a great climb! Like the other routes here, this thing is quite continuous and sustained. Yet this one quite definitely has 2 thin and technical cruxes to keep it interesting. |

Awesome, continuous face climbing, with no obvious "stances" to break up the pitch. Seconding Mitch clean to exit the crag. Fairly sustained, though with no pronounced crux. Great rock, rad moves... the start is all time

21 | ★★ Gigan — 2 tentativi | 50m, 3 | ★★★ Mega Classica | ||||
First ever first ascent! 5 days cleaning and bolting and then two to send.
Crux move is quite condition dependant, and i thought it was going to be much much harder after attempting it in the sun. But a night time ascent with nice cool temps had the crux crimp feeling good and making the movement much easier. Totally wild position for the grade and well worth the effort despite being less sustained than hoped. Probably grade 21 for the first 10m then chills considerably. Totally psyched and an awesome experience! |

23 | FA ★★ Gabara - con Match | 55m, 5 | ★★ Molto buona | ||||
An enjoyable couple of days to get this sorted. Climbed as 2 pitches (linking the top two). Good crack and face climbing, with all the hard moves being bolt protected roofs. Marred solely by some sections of average rock.

25 | ★★★ King Geedorah - con Paul Frothy Thomson, Jared Anderson | 70m | ★★★ Mega Classica | ||||
This is one of the best experiences of my life: finding this route, developing it, and putting it all together for the send.
It may just be a piece of rock; however, this experience represented something much more potent in my life. I cannot describe what that is, yet I now understand. |

TRS Lap -seconding Mitch after the FA. Not clean today (2 falls) but given that I'd been on the couch for 5 months to this point, I was happy just to try really hard.
Most of my post-accident re-introduction to climbing has been tame, approachable, conventional crags. Being back on this monstrous monster is the sort of experience that reminds me why I've been trying to claw my way back to climbing so desperately. What a way to come back. |

I made some mega links on this monster and sorted out the 10m long flake crux that finishes with a mono gaston.

Same-day TRS repeat (clean) to climb out. Dreaaaaaaaaaaaamy.

Gentleman's Sit Flash. Flashed with a "gentleman's sit" at a no-hands rest near the top. Mitch's draws and beta (super key for the start) with little/no chalk on the route.
Wow... Just... wow! Like Subliminal, but for climbing connoisseurs. This thing is destined to be a classic, especially given the relatively easy approach. Probably 23/24 after the first 10m, but it simply never lets up its entire 70m length. Even the top "Grey rock" headwall is tricky and awesome. Best of all: it completely makes sense given the fact that there isn't really a "stance" to rebelay until you're almost at the top. Rope drag was fine as well. An utter joy to climb. |
