Thin, pumpy, engaging. This feels like the pick of the lot on this wall so far for me. Solid as at 23!!! Got a couple laps in linking it all the way from the bottom pitch. Will be back for more.

	14	★ The Crunched Dog and the Ducati	Trad 15m	★ Good	Graham Dowden
Differences from the crack 3m right: lower angle, wider, corner, wall holds ... all good reasons for 8 fewer grades
	14	★ The Crunched Dog and the Ducati	Trad 15m	★ Good	Graham Dowden
Tried the pure layback and gassed out on last two moves. Blame the next door crack, not Science Friction.
	22	★ Endotoxic Shock	Mixed trad 15m, 1	★ Good	Graham Dowden
More froqqing: dogged the lower crux, at least under my own steam, then hardly steamed up the crack. No chance of a frocked-up lead.
	22	★★ Die, Fox, Die	Trad 15m	★★ Very Good	Graham Dowden
Came to train for Frog in a Froq and got thoroughly defrocked. But to paraphrase Bill Clinton's second most famous saying ("I smoked but I did not inhale"), in my defence "I sagged, but I did not haul", despite a dogfest more rancid than yesterday's recycled running thermal, rendered largely unnecessary by significant global warning since the last visit, and the amount of finger-busting calories expended. Even took off a shoe to try an old-school toe jam to no avail, layed back weirdly off crimps, opposed locks, sagged a zillion times and finally technically crawled over the top. Froq!

Dunno about that first pitch at 19. It felt nails but maybe just because it was seeping. Upper pitch was great fun though.

Mount Victoria Area Catch the Wind Area
	19	★ Catchit	Sport 15m	★★ Very Good	Johnny Sullivan
Top rope solo. Took like 10 attempts to get the first move off the ledge (crux). Really surprised I was able to get the high foot-right hand crimp-pull body up move but it felt so nice I re-did that one move another 5 times! Felt like sandstone slab could be my new favourite type of climbing til I got cheesegratered near the rope due to a foot slip….

Counted about 8 bits of potential pro. Steep at the top.
	15 12	★ Flap	Trad 25m	Don't Bother	Graham Dowden
There are some things from the 70s I not only liked but miss: flares, those fluffy girl's hairstyles, the sax solo, and particularly, The Dark Side of the Moon. I think there's a sound case for bringing back Lindemans Ben Ean Moselle and filterless Camel cigarettes, which lasted long afterward, and declaring analog synthesiser music to be intangible cultural heritage. But don't be deceived: a rock climb from 1974 is not the same as one of the 90s or 2020s, so if you want to do this, be prepared for an undercut start that might fornerly have involved using a tree, then 18ft to the first welcome sideways medium hex. At which point one can traverse off left along a good ledge to the access gully, which might just be the best idea. Another piece at 25ft, maybe a sling and another bit at 35ft then the crux, an overhung grade 15 pull-up above a ledge, then run it out to the top. It's juggy and ledgy enough, with no logical reason to fall off, but to get back to 1974, some things are simply left, as they were, of their time.

Benchmark. From the ground is fine, traversing would be a right pain. Awesome headwall. Camped out the thunderstorm at half height, stashing everything metal.

Not a sandbag, just proper 22. Not a warm-up though. Boulder start and then very pleasant locks and jams.
	25	Simon's Route	Sport 15m, 3	Average	Doug
Unfortunately you end up in the pod. Only shares one hold at the top and the climbing is good and sustained. The crux is hard and the last bolt is weirdly placed, I'm guessing to keep it away from the crack.

McDougall still the way to go and makes it much more consistent. Very nice thoughtful climbing from bottom to top. Musta been strong back in the day to stick those slopes.

Mount Victoria Area Mount York Nothing Area
	24	★ Nothing	Sport 30m	★★ Very Good	Doug
Old-skool (cough) 23. Would've been a giggle on the carrots. I wonder if it's worn away/got harder or we've got softer or need to find all the sequences. Diagonally past 1st bolt just seems wrong. Went up and traversed hard right which was cool. Cross-through, right foot, sustain, heartbreaker crux.
	19	Areticide	Sport 20m, 4	★★ Very Good	Doug
Stars! Fun old-skool start mostly climbing around the crack with an arm/leg bar or two. Tricky onto and then up cool insecure arete to the top. Really pleasant and climbs different every lap.

	22 22 R	★★ Left Lane Ends	Mixed trad 25m, 2	★★ Very Good	Doug
Groundfall with bonus ledge fall. Spectacular edging with an unexpected nails crux. Lack of traffic means it will need a brush, probably best to rehearse anyway. Loses one star for old bolts, dirt and potential serious injury. Start in the middle of the wall is slightly better/easier. Good warm-up for Age of Reason?

Old-skool 22. Powerful sustained 1st half, and engaging top half. Bit sharp to start. Beware the semi-permanent flake. Glad I didn't lead this in its previous engineering state. Pretty classic really.

	23	★★ Radios Appear	Mixed trad 25m, 3	★★★ Classic	Doug
Topo is wrong. All share the same start, or start CSD. Can go very slightly independent of CS at 1st break with what looks like a good wire and nice climbing (but slightly worrying ledge of Lishenback). Well protected, sustained crux with just enough good holds. R foot 3" higher than obvious is key for the not tall people.
