FFA. The things we do for 14 moves. As I said in the description this is virtually impossible to grade as the key move's difficulty is largely determined by arm length. Best thought of as a rope-protected boulder problem. 7 days work over 6 weeks.

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.

FFA. Totally my jam - steep and mostly jugs. Very consistent up to the sting in the tail. There is some conjecture as to whether this should be 29 or 30. I figure you can either do Arkenstone's start boulder or you can't. If you can, there would be no change in difficulty between the routes. But I can't, so I therefore feel 29 is justified. [4]

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.

Kneebars to a short steep boulder on underclings, then more kneebars to what is ultimately a super techy tufa-slab. Great way to finish the trip (10th guidebook 8a), and was able to climb in the pouring rain - a bonus. [3]

Tufa snake train tracks to the moon. Nothing super hard but jesus christ it’s sustained for the whole 30m. Kneebar galore. Sent while it rained. [3]

Wow! Battle Royale. Nearly every hold is a tufa. Steep. Bloody hard and tricky. [2]

Super incredible route. Stoked to do it in 80% humidity after today’s storms. This sector is pure gold. [3]

Certainly a great fun route (similar to Spartacus) and worth the walk up, but not 8a. Hence its popularity! [2]

I mistakenly started up Family Jewels and linked into the rest of this which made it harder apparently.

Top went into the sun but was well motivated to not fall again. 55m of epic steepness capped with a slabby wall crux move. Yowza! [4]

Steep, huge holds, get the right sequence turning the roof or it's "return to sender".

Had perfect beta from Emil and needed every ounce of it. A very cool orange streak. Second ascent.

That's the last time I let Aaron "have a quick go" on a new route I haven't sent yet. I should know better. This needs more attention I think, it's really good.

Rad start, then pretty steady and not really much harder than the 23, which is stout. Pumpy though!

2nd go, but nearly a punt. Dying of heat and mosquitoes. This is worse than Thailand.
