[Chris Davies makes crux move look easy on first lead of Slatebite (Fruitbat level, Australia Quarry)., 1 kb]15m. Wall 20m to the right of stretch limo. line of four bolts to a double lower off. start up the groove, then awkward moves to the tall pocket out right, up and into this, then make a hard move up to gain the fourth bolt then the top. I need to extend the chain at the lower off, as the rope rubs over some rough bits of slate, so ab off or extend for the top rope!

Really good moves. Got it second go after a hidden foothold was revealed. Amazed that Raji got up this as she only climbs once every few months.
