Really enjoyable climbing

Very multi-dimensional corner climbing, well bolted after the first

The bolting is safe but scary for someone who isn't climbing well into the 7s. Really enjoyable movement on good holds, shame the bolting is such a distraction from the climbing

Enjoyable slab climbing. Crux to start, the rest was pretty even, good holds when you find them.

Difficult to read boulder problem to start, then easier climbing from the second bolt. Neither loved or hated it.

Nice climbing all the way, extremely well bolted from the very first bolt - absolutely the least run-out route I’ve climbed in the area

A bit of a WTF boulder move to start. The rest was fairly unremarkable.

Nice climbing for such a short route. First bolt is missing, ~6m to the next clip. If you’ve got a clip stick the rest of the route is worth climbing.

Felt very easy for the grade

Easy climbing with a sharp crux at the top. Didn’t particularly enjoy

Burly laybacks and cracks until half way, then more delicate small holds on the top arête. Pretty great route

Enjoyable

The start is a bit heavy, the rest is great! Good holds as it gets steeper around the roof, fun route.

Super cool route. Low boulder problem crux, then fun traversing. Not hard for the grade, but would confidently give it 7a.

First try, but had already done parts of the route. Really fun link up though, interesting climbing on good holds the whole way.

Followed on back-rope to clean. Pretty cool traverse.

Climbed the first 10m with trad protection, but realised quickly that I didn’t have enough small nuts to protect the rest of the route. I wouldn’t recommend as a particularly enjoyable trad route, due to the shallow, flared crack placements and nearly non-existent feet to place from. It’s a smeary, compression style of slab climbing that doesn’t leave many stable positions from which to faff with gear.

Trad climbed, requires just a couple of cams

Lovely little trad line, kinda nice it can be sport climbed too, but a few perfect cam placements and it’s over too soon

Nice climbing, felt slightly more of crux than Pettson to the left, but less sustained and pumpy overall

Fantastic route! The lower section is more technical, with larger moves on good holds higher up. This hasn't been available on past trips, as it's often wet in rainier seasons, so very happy to finally try it.

Technical slab climbing, felt noticeably more difficult than other 6a+ climbs in the area

This wasn’t in our guidebook and we thought it was the 5+ warmup. Ended up being a pretty sketchy and unenjoyable climb.
