really cool sequence. Some other day

The bottom bit is quite good. Second shot.

Easy to suss out on TR. Sent first lead attempt, back in business

Top crux is very reachy. Climbing is good, but not awesome.

Took a monster whip falling off the upper crux on my onsight-attempt. Then had a few more less dramatic falls before I pieced it together. A briefly thin and reachy sequence, but otherwise not tooooo hideous.

Could do with an extra carrot on the middle section. A fall from above onto the gear behind the thin flake could be nasty. Def ground fall while getting to the placement.

Got it 2nd shot. First shot took a while ...

3 or so goes at figuring out the grey section half way up but there's neat climbing here.

5+ goes hanging off the rope) to figure out the top crux which is particularly reachy the way I did it (I'm 6'1"), but figured out by shorter climbing partners.

Still, really happy with a 2nd shot send. Would have been frightening on lead without the retro-top-bolt.

Tricky to figure out. Went pretty easily on the second go. There is a good cam under the roof. It's a bit tricky to see exactly where but it's a #1 camalot about 1m right of the "tooth" flake. It's also a bit perplexing figuring out where to go over the lip of the roof. Good route altogether. Great rock apart from the one flake under the roof which probably won't go anywhere.

Both techy and powerful, with a desperate reachy move right above the 2nd bolt, but good fun

At least I think we did this - this wall is such a mess. Some judicious reordering of routes would help.

Small nut protects the move to first carrot. Really cool, kinda heady after roof.

The top wall is adrenalin packed - dodgy pro, massive fall potential. Quite an adventure!

What a struggle to get gear in and shake the pump.

The hold felt a lot bigger the second time around

On Timmy's (mediocre) gear. Great fun from memory. Guessing the date

Watched ollie fall after the traverse and zipper out all the gear bar the top piece. exciting.

Probably a bit more committing than I was expecting, especially when my last nut pulled out mid crux.

So close but nice big whip right at the end of the route

Just amazing, one to repeat for sure

Was close to onsight, but the beginning got me because I put the gear all wrong. Top was surprising easy and ok to protect. Did it second go with no fight after sorting out which cams to use. This is a fantastic climb.

Awesome! Hung around a lot placing gear. Placed a good nut as high as I could reach to make the start reasonable...

Buggered up the very start sequence, lowered and then onsighted the rest of the climb. Lovely climb, quite intimidating with some funky protection and a couple of runouts. Definitely 23 though.

A slice of moonarie at arapiles? Bouldery start leads to runout slab climbing on good incut edges. A series of fairly commiting moves high above small and funky gear, relatively safe but the gear didn't exactly inspire confidence and definitely wouldn't have wanted to blow it!

One of my most stressful belays

Gear in

Trad

No pressure lap on Paul’s gear. Fun enough with plenty of run up top but over good gear. Would be 21 at Shipley with bolts

Very easy at the grade (and better protected than I expected) but super super fun! The start traverse is wild fun, and the finale is smoooooooothe face climbing pleasure.

Beautiful route. Wish those incut crimps went for longer. Gear felt pretty good also!

Didn't dig the/my gear before run out, bailed.

loved every move. only wish it went longer.
