- V6Good moves. Optional knee bar pad for the fun at the start.
- V5Fun, compression, toe-hook, heel-hook stuff.
- V7Night session made the top out much more intense than expected. Good problem.
- V4Sit start at V4 seems about right to me, holds are all very good.
- V6 ↑With sticky conditions in mid October, this felt completely different and much easier overall. Would grade V6/7 if possible.
- V5Found a way to do this without the big dynamic move to the top left hand on the lip.
- V9Took me a while, definitely a good deal harder than Orient if you actually start it on the left instead of cheating with the heel already in the scoop.
- V5 ↑This sandbagging has to stop! Easily V5, possibly even V6 in my book, especially in high humidity.
- V8Great climb, with many ways of doing the moves, which makes it accessible to climbers of different heights, strengths and styles.
- V8Definitely V8
- V8 ↑I find this sandbagged for V8. Felt harder.
- V9Took many goes over several sessions to find the beta that worked for my particular set of skills (weakness). 4/5 because of the abrasiveness of the rock on my inside right ankle, causing unpleasant wounds. My fault, not the rock I guess.
- V6#didn'tflash #noonecaresanyway
- V8Can’t remember the exact date, but it was around this time. What I do remember is that it was a poor top out when I finally did it. No shame.
- V8See beta if you wish. Found the first move very hard. Great climb.
- V8
- V6I was rubbish at catching the finger lock for ages. Top-out was filthy, should've cleaned it first.
- V8Took me plenty of sessions to link it all up in two parts. Happy with this one.
- V7One of my favourites in the area so far.
- V8Started on the bloc, below roof on the left. Worth adding to the beginning of the stand start, despite my initial scepticism.
- V7Awesome climb, super-low start a bit contrived though in my opinion. So I started with some sort of pinch and a crimp I think, still sit-start.
- V8Took me many sessions. BETA video above. First challenge was holding the crimps. Second challenge was not breaking my back. Third challenge was making the top-out look like absolute garbage because I forgot to de-ice it beforehand. I believe I accomplished all three.
- V7 ↑Excellent extension line.
- V6 ↑Difficulty for me was getting established on the face without tearing my tendons in half.
- V6Not V7 in my opinion. Hardest move is the first one for me.
