Very good! Even the start slab is great!

Very pleasant climb, good fun!

24 | ★★ The Darkest Hour - with Aaron Jones, Heath Black | 25m, 12 | ★ Good | |||
not the best warm up, found a few bits hard to read, the beta from Aaron "I think Neil grunted through this bit..." doesn't disqualify my onsight.

27 | ★★ Kaizen - with Aaron Jones | 38m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Just flashed the 25 bit and stopped at anchor under roof, bloody good climb!

My second 27 onsight! Conditions were unfairly good and I kept on trucking making only few reading mistakes that I could recover from. Albeit inconsistent in difficulty, this climb delivers great moves all the way up on fantastic holds.

26 | ★★★ Indian Pacific - with Julie Anderson | 38m, 17 | ★★★ Classic | |||
Sooo good, I had to come back a few times over the years to get the crux sorted. Most of the climb is 3-4 grades easier than the crux section but for some reasons it's still exciting and it climbs so well. I rate this climb and will do it again.

25 | ★★★ Disco Non-Stop Party - with Rick | 40m, 13 | ★★★ Mega Classic | |||
Saved this one for the onsight, I let Rick rap down the fix line first and I took off the draws he needed to reach belay station on my way down trying not to look too much. Unfortunately fell off at second draw, rookie mistake... lowered and climbed the whole thing in an ascent very close to an onsight. Very happy with my effort, I found this climb mentally challenging but pushed through uncertainty and kept on marching. Absolutely fantastic climb and an ascent forging mental strength and lifetime memories. Just another great day out with my mate Rick!

25 | ★★★ I Have a Dream - with Heath Black | 50m, 13 | ★★★ Classic | |||
Alzheimer Flash, I didn't remember any moves from few years ago attempt. Lucky I could rest every 2 moves, 3-4 cruxes got me thinking and I had to push quite hard, didn't cruise it. Memorable ascent. Grateful there were long slings pre-placed on few crux bolts. Didn't find the runouts outrageous as they are on easier sections. New belay bolts are great.

25 | ★★★ Toyland Direct | 30m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Warmed up doing the onsight attempt and it almost worked but I missed a hold to the right on the slabby section towards the top and grabbed awful footholds and retreated downclimbing to good double-crimp tried to recover and went again the same way thinking it would work... Flopped on the bolt. Julie gave me the beta and I cruised to the top. Got it second shot. Most holds are amazing on this climb (except the footer that got me ;-)

FFA. It all started one day I run up Work Injury and my little one says: why you stop here Papa? You're not at the top! I looked up and replied, fair enough, why is the climb stopping here???

This climb hasn't been manufactured to my body length... seriously I was shocked by the number of drilled holds and the way they have been made, I mean a gym hold looks more natural.
