Legends 25 (5.12a)

Although Legends was one of the earlier routes we bolted, it took a while to get some good pics. Gustav took an amazing series of photos of a repeat ascent this afternoon. In its short life the route has had several repeats and a few attempts which lead to a concensus of 25.
This was our last full day on the crag together since Michael heads out tomorrow for Kosmos on the start of his return journey to Seattle. Here we are posing in front of Chris' project (Dreamers - 23/24?) It was a busy day in the God No / Rainy Day area today. From left to right we have (click to enlarge):
- Andrew on Monster (29-30?), a project bolted by Alard.
- Mark on the two bolt wonder that Michael bolted (dynos abound and possibly 30ish)
- Michael busy cleaning the draws off his last new route of the season: Dungeons and Dragons (24? but needs repeats guys)
The wall to the right of Michael is the God No! wall. Earlier Andrew and Flex opened a new line on it called Hell Yeah! (27)

This is the closest Michael came to a climbing injury (one that prevents you from climbing). While walking down the main drag in Boven, his eye snagged a well camouflaged sharpened branch where a tree had been pruned for average height people and not giraffes.
