The rock is pretty solid (as far as sandstone goes) and the features/steepness of the wall make for some really cool problems.
First up I did Utopia, a three-move V6 crack line, which was cool, then I did Sunflower, a one-move V5/6, where you dyno from a slopey crimp and gnarley v-slot to a sloping pocket.
After a bit of digging away at the base of Sunflower, I cleaned and sent "Boots mean Bodies" a V7-ish sit start extension to sunflower.
Next I turned my attention to Tropicana Allergy, a wicked traverse line between the jugs on Utopia and Nebuliser. After working out the final move I went for the send on film, after latching the finishing hold I went to review the footage, only to find that the camera had run out of memory just as I reached the last hold. Wanting some good film, I attempted to repeat the line, but ended up pulling of a pretty key crimp, making the big reach even bigger.
I eventually managed to make the move, but for the moment the line remains unclimbed in its current state.
