26 | ★★ The Cabal - with Kamil Sustiak | 15m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Satisfying to clean up an old dog from two years ago first try today. Which was surprising because I couldn't really remember what went on up there. There must have been some lingering muscle memory and/or right knee scar tissue.

If these moves were 20m off the deck, it would be 28. But as they're 5m off the deck, 24 seems nearer the money. Kinda important not to escape too far R out of the line. Also, I think we can do better than "Unknown" for a name after a decade, so now it has one.

FFA. Has all those ingredients you want in a Pierces Pass multipitch. Some adventure, some easier climbing, some harder climbing, all well-protected on U-bolts but with a feeling of growing intensity as you get higher. If you've not been to this wall before, it's around 25 mins walk-in from the carpark to the base of the route, mostly on an excellent track (see Bladderhozen approach notes in guide). Climb, rap back down, walk out. Or combine with The Iron Throne or Bladderhozen for more sport pitch fun in the same zone.

The "moonboard crux" on the face is pretty punchy (V7 on the MB ). It may be impossible for the shorter climber just due to span. You want to pull with your left heel to go the distance. Not a good one to try in smeggy conditions.

I thought this was 30 when I established it, and it possibly was with the beta I used. Smarter heads prevailed with the beta, so now 29, and I've heard suggestions as low as 27(!) Time will tell. More importantly, it's a pretty unique piece of climbing for this part of the world. [10]

Vaguely reminiscent of Sunnyside at the Pit. High stickclip to start; steep, moderate climbing for 6 bolts to a ledge below the quote-unquote slab. A baffling move to overcome the slab and then it's game on up the headwall on cool pockets to an improbable-looking, dynamic crux. [7]

FFA. Good to use a bit of trip fitness to get a project done! Links Force Cannon into Farkenright via a long but safe runout (no new bolts). Climb all of the hard bit of FC to the horizontal break just before the ledge. Now bust directly right via a tricky boulder, then jugs across the break to the hourglass hold, continuing R as per Farkenright. Lots of roof climbing! Use a couple of slings or rollers to reduce drag. I was originally thinking 29, but this ended up going quickly, much quicker than Pit Boss.
