Climb Name Type Grade # Ascents Recorded Notes Exclude Reason
The Path Trad climb E9 7
The Phoenix Trad climb E7 7
The Power of Goodbye Boulder problem 8B 7
The Promise Trad climb E8 7

Originally climbed with no pads and a single ball nut for protection. James gave it E10, believing any fall would involve hitting the ground. Subsequent ascents tested the ball nut (above pads) and found it to be better than expected with the ball nut holding around 20 falls. Based on this, grades around E7 to E8 were suggested.

Due to the falls the quality of the placement deteriorated, with Jordan Buys ripping the gear in a fall from high on the route. It is not clear how reliable the placement currently is. [1]

Now usually climbed as a highball above a big pile of pads.
