I didn’t read the description of this route and found myself struggling on sloppers and with not enough QuickDraws

30 | ★★ House of Suns — 2 attempts - with Rebecca | 25m, 11 | ||||
What a sequence, hard for me , managed do to with one rest after the pocket move. ( not my style, I need some hold to shake 😅). Happy to come back and give one more shot now that I know all the moves.

Omg!! Found my route’mate. I just love 40> mitres pitches and this one damn is hard from the start to the very last move, but good solid rests every now and then. Probably my favourite route in the blues(my style 🙃).

I didn’t know there were routes like this in the blues, I very long sequence of technical climb, the send was a bit anticlimactic, chalking up on the last crimp quite fresh compared to all the other shot.
Anyway beautiful

Blackheath Area Celebrity Crags Oliver Stone | ||||||
29 ~27 | ★★★ Fade To Black — 3 attempts | 20m | ||||
Maybe I should do more traversing routes.
SPOILER ALLERT:
There is a no hand rest half way, feel like a 24 +full rest and a 25. It is definitely a tricky rest( and might just the rest gives a extra grade).

This route took quite too much time but it was fun to work on it for a while.
Today on my last shot I told my belayer that I was going to clean it and give up with this one, but something snapped in my brain while I climbed the crux and I decided a different foot further to the left for the drive-by and clip (crossing), and there it was - I found myself screaming and holding on. Found this red point much harder than all the other 29s and 30s that I’ve sent. Might not be my style. |

I m running out the of good climbs of grade 25/26 to onsight and end up to find myself on choss is inevitable.
But this one is unique in is kind: arrived underneath it I got amazed about how much choss , sand , moisture,spiderwebs, glue there was on it, despite everything it looked amazing from far away and I decided to give it a shot and I purely loved it from start to end
