25 | ★★ Chop Sticks The Sequel — 2 attempts - with Alex Nishizawa | 30m, 10 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Second go. Really good route, not as classic as its big dog neighbours but still really great movement in a really stellar position. Don’t sleep on this one!

Morning Glory Wall Area Churning Buttress | ||||||
5.13a | ★★★ Churning In The Wake | 20m, 7 | ★★★ Mega Classic | |||
On our last day got it pretty well dialed to one fall. Took one of the bigger whips of my life punting off the jug before the final hard moves.
Next time I’m in North America this will be high on the list for sure.
Doesn’t get much better! |

The Organ Pipes Flange Buttress | ||||||
29 | ★★★ Pleasant Screams Direct | 50m | ★★★ Mega Classic | |||
Linked everything on the first go except for two sections. Neither felt show stopper, just required some out-of-the-box thinking to gain the next clip at each stage. Doesn’t feel far off going in a single push. Excited for the next burn.

Got it on the second go after a very sloppy read on the onsight. So much fun, would be worth coming back for the solo. The bolting is spot on too!

The Grotto Cliffline P.C. | ||||||
25 | ★★★ Escape From the Drilling Fields | 20m | ★★★ Mega Classic | |||
One onsight burn with taped digits, one red point burn with tape on six fingers, one send raw-dogging it with bare tips. As good as they come.

23 | ★★★ Amazon Queens In the Avocado Jungles Of Death | 20m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Linked into it after burning off Belgian Tourist. Didn’t realise there was a soft option going right so used up the last of my tips going left. Worth it though, keeps you on edge.

24 25 | ★★ To see life as a worthy opponent (Project) | 10m, 6 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Looks like it would be about 24 and looks like it would be just about the best route at Reflux, looks like it won’t take much effort for to be sent and looks like it has been cleaned up well very recently.

24 | ★★ Life in the Fast Lane | 25m | ★★ Very Good | |||
What a treat. If the ledge wasn’t there or I had 4 grades in reserve I’d be comfortable doing the crux without pre-placing a piece. Maybe one day.
|

Atridae The Flight Deck | ||||||
25 | ★★★ Have A Good Flight | 18m, 5 | ★★★ Classic | |||
Good climbing for a sport route, probably doesn’t deserve the verbal abuse it gets from punters every weekend though, not as hard as it looks.

Thu 24th Mar 2022 - Fruehauf | ||||||
25 | ★★ Suck Ethics - with Michael Lehmann | 15m, 6 | ★★ Very Good | |||
So much fun. Felt very unattainable on an end of the day top rope, but came back today, fell three times on stupid mistakes and then finally punched it to the top. No super hard cruxes, just good climbing at the grade the whole way. What a blast.

24 | ★★★ After Midnight | 50m | ★★★ Mega Classic | |||
I can’t remember the last time I enjoyed something this much. Absolutely stunning start to finish.
It really is such a pleasure to find yourself straddling an arete in such a beautiful part of the world.
10/10.
|
||||||
Wed 9th Feb 2022 - The Paradiso | ||||||
24 | ★★★ Offender Of The Faith | 30m, 10 | ★★★ Classic | |||
So beautiful. Climbs like a story from an old bloke in a country pub, exciting start to finish and a little hard to follow, but ultimately worth it. So very fun, loved it a lot.
|
||||||
24 | ★★★ Thunder Birds Are Go | 25m, 9 | ★★★ Classic | |||
Super fun, throwy moves the whole way.
Read the moves right and blew the last move of the crux by being a little wuss. Commit commit commit!
|
||||||
Sun 6th Feb 2022 - Hidden Face | ||||||
22 | ★★★ Psycho-Man | 95m | ★ Good | |||
Felt soft for the grade, and the last pitch really detracts from what would otherwise be a decent climb.
If I was in the area I’d probably just go and do 3 laps on Two Tall Oxen for a better day out.

Super fun climbing. Tactical use of a heel hook during the crux was very exciting. Glad to have sent it on the second session. Kind of wish that I could have worked it longer, so enjoyable.
Definitely a 2 star route.
