Still find the moves comfortable, still don't think I'm anywhere near sending it. Not even sure its worth working yet.

Still a fun day out

Fun day out with friends. Still polishing the final traverse crux, very technical! Getting close to a send go.

All moves until the traverse, which I didn’t bother trying. The throw move is very fun

Need better beta through the crux, but very doable

2 burns. Couldn't work out the long move at the half way point (assume there is a sneaky kneebar or heal hook). The finish sequence is a bit of a finger shredder. Best to do this on the last day of a trip, and not the first!

Loathe to log this. After a mentally shaky weekend of not really sending anything this one was my “sure thing”. Had done all the moves before and felt very doable. Backed off putting the clips in as my wrist felt tweaky on a sloper. Taped it up, went again DID THE CRUX chill as, got a no hands knee bar mid traverse, then just chickened out right before the chains. Didn’t have the beans third go. Something about this climb always results in a shite trip.

Punchy! Crazy full body climbing that culminates with a super physical and airy PSAT.

Bolt to bolt to remember the moves then straight send after

3rd shot!

Tried it, sussed the crux beta (high right foot kneebar scum) thought oh yea “that’ll go next go” then fucking wrecked myself putting up "media puzzle" and climbing it like a wanker. Had terminal pump before even getting on but the weather was miserable so just wanted to get the gear down. Didn’t send. Cleaned in pissing rain. All round worst day I’ve climbing over had in probably over a year. Well done to Tommathy swift for getting his first 26 though.

2 go's, one to put draws on and the other for the send, first 26!!!. Thanks to Josh Ellis for cleaning it in the pissing rain. But at the same time Harriet Harley and i were questing the clean of media puzzle. We had a hard earned day of type 2 fun.

Pretty cool top section.

Felt easier then the 26s I try in Nowra but eh. Also used a right kneebar scum thing for the crux which may have helped alot

prolly easier cos im tall, big move was cool

Might go?, way easier than l'essence

One year and 13 burns later it finally goes! Felt super smooth and held it all together through the roof. First of the grade!

Hanging the draws, making some roof beta changes

Finally got the send after re-working the crux and final heel/toe hook sequence. Glad to tick this one off! Thanks Tom Scott for the catches.

Putting up the draws

Cruised up to the roof but fell again at the second last move due to pump and muddled beta

Pretty cooked from the very start but managed to hold it together to the roof, only to fall once again. Was sure it would go this session but looks like more fitness is needed

Hanging the draws, remembering the slab start

Fell off at the second last move! Felt so good climbing through the cruxes but one forgotten heel bump on the rail and it all came apart. Frustrated but psyched cause it's all but done

Bolt to bolt to reaquaint

New highpoint of slapping the rail in the upper crux. Actually feels like it could go now instead of just playing around. Psyched!

Cruisey up till the crux, then impossible! Will Gregson could kinda do it static, James was going at it dynamic, neither really felt possible for me… 🤷‍♀️

Flash attempt, rested 3 times but didn't fall at all. Went for a red point second attempt and fell at the crux (even though it is static for my span) tried last section again with little rest but smashed my elbow while trying to campus right at the end and just lowered.

Faffed around remembering the slab start, but made a good link up to the upper crux throw

Finally dialled in the slab - ignore the big holds out right, go straight up to the gaston block. Too cooked to link anything else
