5 out of 5 stars Got reborn

Very interesting climbing, not always the prettiest, but very interesting. Good spacial awareness is necessary on pitch 1 when you are squeezing yourself through the flake.
Awesome views at the top. Pitch two has some great moves on the face and a decent amount of exposure.
Nicely bolted.
Some loose rocks

3 out of 5 stars Varied climbing!

nice bouldery start and some very nice balancy moves on a steep section about half way up. Can prove difficult retrieving your draws on the way down - clip to the rope!!!

5 out of 5 stars A full day out!

Awesome climbing on solid rock. Some sharp limestone at the top, but a well protected multipitch route with sections of awesome exposure. 5th pitch is definitely the best!!!
Abseiling down corcovado was harder than expected; make sure your rope maintenance is good as we almost got our rope stuck more than once on the abstract features and goddamn cactus's!

3 out of 5 stars Can you hear me?

climb is easy until the top where the superb undercling fades out making you stretch up to the next decent hold. the middle section is usually climbed to the right on good holds, but if you like tiny pebbles to climb on, the slab in the middle is like 5 boulder problems in a row (good to say you've done it) and makes the climb a bit more consistent!
Can be difficult to hear your belayer if the longtails are whipping by!

4 out of 5 stars Stunning views

Great climb, but get there early, not for the people but for the sun! after 11am, it comes over the cliff and melts your belayer before your eyes!
The climb also has a harder (6b) start which traverses to the left along some underclings. cool mooves but you dont want to fall.
The top section has an array of jugs adn you can choose any of about 5 different routes to finish on. If you go far over to the right, look out for the 'fist of gems' in a mystery hole!
Very sharp rock

3 out of 5 stars Mosquito in the evening

stay to the far left and watch rope drag. would be nicer if there was a more direct line as retrieving gear on descent can be a struggle

4 out of 5 stars Divine

hard move at the start which eases out to the top. use the tree if you are too short to reach the first pocket (decreases the grade considerably)
