	25	★ Hrgngh Direct - with David Jefferson	Sport 9m, 4	★★ Very Good	Alexei Drummond
Had a second tie-in with second pre-clipped to make trying the boulder a bit more pleasant. Definitely made some progress, but eventually just pulled up to jug and climbed to top to clean since wanted to get David on Dodor before it got too late.
	25	★ Hrgngh Direct - with David Jefferson	Sport 9m, 4	★★ Very Good	Alexei Drummond
Worked out some beta on the bottom boulder. Seems harder than 25, but maybe this is a V5 with good beta.

Did all the moves (in pieces) up to the sloper top. But expected the sloper to be better and took the fall.

Got on this to remind myself why I hate it. Should also have a third bolt! There is a perfectly good clipping jug for it.
	25	★★ Strong Men Also Cry - with Ryan Yang	Sport 18m, 6	★★★ Classic	Alexei Drummond
Attempt to repeat. Clean to the 4th clip. Almost pulled off the crux, but the crimp felt worse than expected. The top was fine, but had forgotten the micro beta, so felt a bit more desperate than I remember Still a great route.

Flash attempt morphed into a working go after I came off between 3rd and 4th bolts.
	24	★★ Skin Thicker than Leather - with Alexei Drummond	Sport 15m, 5		Aidan Sarginson
Watched some videos of the beta and immediately disapproved of it, so went with Alexei's way of rocking over the right foot on the jug. Got to twice in a row, time for red point goes
	24	★★ Skin Thicker than Leather - with Alexei Drummond	Sport 15m, 5		Aidan Sarginson
Fell trying to get past third bolt. Worked the rest of the climb and putting up the draws for Alexei's flash attempt

Pretty unclear what holds are in or not on the right. Should be possible direct but seems harder than 24 Edit: Having looked at videos of other people climbing the route, I feel like the currently accepted line is just an eliminate variation on Heads and Tails? I would prefer this to be a direct line up the face (e.g. the sidepull on the right arete level with the second bolt being out, which all ascents I've seen are using). The climb becomes more difficult, possibly by multiple grades, but I'm sure it goes...and then becomes a clear distinct line.

First attempt. Just aided my way up to get the draws on and feel the holds and moves.
	24	★★ Overture - with Alex Popinga	Sport 15m, 5	★ Good	Alexei Drummond
Second attempt. Made a good burn to a couple of moves below the end of the boulder problem but still struggling with feet placement and whether to go left through the shattered crimps or right hugging the arete.
	24	★★ Overture - with Alex Popinga	Sport 15m, 5	★ Good	Alexei Drummond
Third attempt. Felt weaker after crimping so much the first couple of times. I will probably extend the third draw significantly to avoid having to think about the run-out, especially if I stick with the right-hand arete beta, which climbs above a big block of rock.

2nd tie-in of the day just to check the first 10 moves with fingers taped. Didn't go well.
	25	★★ The Troll - with Alex Popinga	Sport 12m, 4	★★★ Classic	Alexei Drummond
3rd tie in of the day. Was just cleaning the gear off, but got the first 10 moves clean. Also tried the delicate traverse to the 4th bolt and pretty sure I am happy with the beta now. Really the climb is 16 moves to a jug and then some rest options around the 3rd bolt followed by a delicate sequence of 2-3 moves to jugs for clipping the 4th. The 4th could as well be the anchor as it is walking after that.

Put the gear on from the ground. Lots of nice moves, quite technical. Got most of the moves sorted on the check out. Pity we forgot our chalk and my skin was very worn. Hopefully it will go down fairly quickly if I get comfortable clipping the second bolt.

Got to the move going out right to the pinch of the shallow two finger pocket above the vertical side pull. Couldn't generate enough force to get up there as I can't pull up on the pocket. Need to get feet higher. Good route otherwise, cool sequence. Climb needs to be brushed
