Stunning boulder, probably elevates it to 2stars. Difficulty wise it feels similar to The Dragon Flight Traverse at Rubicon from memory so if you are doing this OS and calling it V2 you are going ok. The right to left is a fraction easier probably new school v3, linking them together just adds pump.

Probably closer to VB although easy to slip on the moss during OS!

That's a finger jug not a jug. Very solid for V1 particularly if you stick to the slab/crack above the break on the body of the whale as it's a long unpleasant journey down from there if you slip. Combining the MDT+Extension warrants at least 2 stars, if only it were bit less mossy on top.

Demanding, packs a lot of climbing into 2m. Sent with gloves in the end, probably 1 star without gloves unless you are a feather!

Very solid for the grade, good once the beta is sorted.

Not the hardest V1 'round here! Like 1m of climbing, technical and burly at the same time, probably warrants 2 stars, good onsight if you can do it.

Ran up this as warm up couple times today, tough for V0 even though it's short.

Nails for the grade and a difficult onsite. The directish line as on the toppo is sharp and a bit fierce, then mossy and blankish. Trending right a fraction you have a solid UK5b sequence for the V0 tick, really nice climb.

3 laps to warm up today on NE10. The whole slab is mega, there looks 4-5 independent lines plus the no hands problem. NE10 V0 looks to take the the slab left of the blunt arete on nice crimps as per toppo. Not documented, climbing the slab right of the blunt arete (between NE10 and the no hands 'stemming' problem) on good crimps is slightly harder probably V0+ 1 star (bit more moss at top and awkward landing you may want a spotter). Koala climbed this onsight today, not bad! Left of NE10 is NE9, the closest thing to V0 here starts as per position on toppo trending slightly right via a small hollow flake, it's higher and harder than NE10 so more like V0+. Left of this in a another independent line on crimps, higher, harder and more awkward landing so not likely V0, will confirm if/when completed. Potentially another line left of this (before you start going 'round to NE22) via the vertical rail and crimps, will take a closer look but again higher and more awkward landing than NE10. Will look to take photo and add to toppo of this sector next time Koala is there, there a looks a fair bit unclimbed here so at some point that's going to need some reorganising as the sector guide/toppos are incomplete and jumbled..

Not likely a FA but it should be documented and deserves a name, much better than Opera House Crack!

Almost Forgot!

Really good with the sit start.

Very mossy topout and arguably eliminate, but still good, nice moves throughout.

Worthwhile in it's own right from standing.

Looks like 5 problems on the "Cliffhanger Slab" not including the no hands stemming on the farish right. So left of Rabbit Trap there are a left (via vertical rail) and right (via crimps) lines which merge to a horizontal edge. These are at least a meter higher than Rabbit Trap with similar difficulty of climbing and awkward landing so probably not the V0.

Not so much room for a sit or crouch start in there so the wedge-tail start will have to do.

Few options for the sit start at/near the large crimp, none of them felt particularly easy for Koala. Not far off 3 stars.

Easy ! Looks to be an independent line a fraction right similar style bit harder.

Best problem on the bloc by far to date, worth seeking out.

Felt easier today, quality little route, I will give it an extra star today.

Potential to extend from left will need cleaning and local fauna in undercut might have to move on voluntarily.

On it bit fresher today, quite intense.

VB-Slabs-1-4 all closer to 2 stars than one, really nice technical press/mantle problems, get on 'em. 5&6 are ok too particularly for newbs.

Fraction harder now that the best section of the flake has snapped off.

Slightly trickier since intermediate crimp has diminished in size, felt quite hard for V0+.

Close to two stars, maybe once it cleans up a bit more. Extension from left (start hold S8/S9) will add at least half a grade, not so easy.

Great climb, sit start might add a great or so. Knee pad used.

Close to 3 stars.

Good but a bit contrived/eliminate. Could also be a direct finish but it's likely to be horrendous and a bit harder.

Quite good, hard for the grade a touch eliminate. There is a more direct line using the smaller holds. but it's not V0 and may require a cold day. Also a more direct sit start into the arete eliminating the crack/intermediate block also a bit harder.

Might pick up an extra star as once the lower holds to gain the slab are established/compact down.

Might pick up an extra star as the top rail cleans up with use.

Perfect conditions this morning, 5th burn send after 25mins rest and a recovery drink. Transition into crux felt pumpier than expected, crux quite precise even with gloves/tape on .

With gloves/tape. A unique experience! I would give it 5 stars but too many would disagree.

Welcome koala back to Oz Stonehenge awww how cute look at his big fluffy ears!
