Sat 15th Nov 2003 - Blue Mountains
Mount Victoria Area Mount Piddington Flake Crack Area
	17	★★★ Flake Crack	Trad 53m	★★★ Mega Classic

One-Two-Three
	6a+	★★ We Sad	Sport 25m, 8	★★★ Mega Classic
My favourite route on the cliff! Easy, but long. Cool start onto stalactite.
Thu 25th Sep 2003 - Railay
One-Two-Three
	6b	★★ Massage Secrets	Sport 37m, 13	★★★ Mega Classic
Nice, easy climbing. Pitch 2 is fun.

Pretty uninteresting and short.
Thu 25th Sep 2003 - Railay
Muay Thai

Fun climb entirely on threads! Nice exposure.
Sat 30th Aug 2003 - Nowra
Thompson's Point Descent Gully Walls
	20	★★ Layoff	Sport 15m, 7	★ Good
Thin and interesting start. Juggy and boring finish.

Pretty good! Exciting top section.
Sat 9th Aug 2003 - Nowra
The Grotto Cliffline The Grotto Proper
	23	★★★ Amazon Queens In the Avocado Jungles Of Death	Sport 20m	★★★ Classic
Wow! Cool climb! Went off course and blew the onsight. Got it second go. Really interesting and exciting climbing!
	19	★ Fizzbomb	Sport 13m	★★ Very Good
Good climb with exciting and strenuous move over bulge.
Sat 2nd Aug 2003 - Mount Keira
South Face
	15	★★ Jaunt	Trad 45m	★★★ Classic
Probably the best on the South Face. Quite an interesting & varied adventure with exciting traverse high on pitch 3!
Sat 19th Jul 2003 - Nowra
Thompson's Point Descent Gully Walls
	17	★★ Hang On	Sport 15m, 6	★★★ Classic
This is an easy classic! Very interesting all the way up, well protected - a comfy lead!
Sat 19th Jul 2003 - Nowra
Thompson's Point Little Graham's Boulder
	21	★ Shy Romantic	Sport 5m	Average
Hasder than "Cheesy" in my book, and not as fun.
Sat 19th Jul 2003 - Nowra
Thompson's Point Descent Gully Walls
	17	★ Woderwick	Sport 15m	★ Good
Good for a warm-up. Don't remember much about it - probably a bit boring ...
Sat 19th Jul 2003 - Nowra
Thompson's Point Little Graham's Boulder
	22	★ Cheesy Noblicker	Sport 5m	★ Good
Pretty darn easy! First dyno is basic, and it's all jugs. Soft tick.
Mon 9th Jun 2003 - Blue Mountains
Mount Victoria Area Mount Piddington Hocus Pocus Area
	10 8	★★ Hocus Pocus	Mixed trad 49m, 15	★★ Very Good
Did it as a climb-out in single pitch with packs. LOADS of rope drag = sore legs. If a sport climb, very run-out, but easy.
	13	★ Ra	Trad 44m	Average
Very few bolts, and not much natural pro if any. Kept wandering onto this while doing H.P. I'll count the tick anyway!
Sat 31st May 2003 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Centennial Glen Wave Wall
	24	★★ The Tube	Sport 12m	★★ Very Good
25/4/03 - My new project! Today was practise. 31/5/03 - Got it second try today! Hardest clean lead to date! Opened up a decent flapper on it!
Sat 24th May 2003 - Blue Mountains
Mount Victoria Area Mount Piddington Eternity Area
	19 18	★★★ The Eternity	Trad 22m	★★★ Mega Classic
25/12/02 - First second on trad gear. Wish I led it, but would probably be too scared. 24/5/03 - Planned to go round to Flake Crack, but couldn't go past this thing! Truly an awesome line! Totally enjoyable! First 'real' trad lead ( > grade 14!!)
Sat 24th May 2003 - Blue Mountains
Mount Victoria Area Mount Piddington Descent Gully Area
	9	★ Great Unwashed	Trad 20m	★ Good
Good for getting trad practice. Worth doing...
Sat 3rd May 2003 - Blue Mountains
Mount Victoria Area Bardens Lookout Little Triggers Wall
	22	★★ Hang onto Yourself	Sport 20m	★★★ Classic
Pretty damn nice! Gets a "classic" because of excellent exposure, interesting climbing, and good protection. However, it is NOT a 22, crux is maybe a 21 if that (especially since I did it with frozen fingers and still did it quite easily.)
	19 20	★ Change Junkies	Sport 20m	★ Good
Meant to be the warm-up for the day, but was surprisingly technical for a 19. Cold weather made things difficult.
	22 21	★★ Lady Stardust	Sport 21m, 6	★★ Very Good
Quite true to it's grade. Has some tricky little moves, and is more sustained than anything I've done at Barden's, but alas it is still a soft tick.
	21	★★ Starman	Sport 25m	★★ Very Good
Graded 21 in Pircher/Carter's latest, and I agree with that grading. A very nice climb, with the crux down.
Fri 25th Apr 2003 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Centennial Glen Junket Pumper Area
	19	★ Billy Bunter	Sport 15m, 5	Don't Bother
Junk! Basically 2 mantles and a simple jug-haul to the top. Didn't help that the rain made the route into a waterfall!
Mon 21st Apr 2003 - Nowra
Thompson's Point Betty Blue Area
	21	★★ Shifting Sands	Sport 15m, 5	★★★ Classic
Great rock, great exposure, great climb. Nervous crux high and run-out. Awesome!
Mon 21st Apr 2003 - Nowra
Thompson's Point Descent Gully Walls
	17	★★ Butt Head	Sport 15m, 7	★★ Very Good
Good warm up. Jug city!
Mon 21st Apr 2003 - Nowra
Thompson's Point Sloth Area
	16	★★ Sloth	Sport 23m, 8	★★★ Classic
Really nice! Long, sustained, exposed, and a great way to end a day before the hike out!
Mon 21st Apr 2003 - Nowra
Thompson's Point The Very Nice Wall
	22	★★ Killer Boas	Sport 10m	★★★ Classic
Great climb! First bolt is a little high. Top jugs next to anchors are VERY dirty. Bring a shovel!
Sun 20th Apr 2003 - Nowra
Thompson's Point Betty Blue Area
	20 21	★★ Broken And Barbed	Sport 18m, 6	★★ Very Good
Quite a good climb! Nice technical beginning, then easy ramble up slabby arete.
Fri 18th Apr 2003 - Mount Keira
West Face
	8	★ Nursery	Trad 10m	Average
More trad practice. Pretty boring, but lots of comfortable stances to put in gear!
Sat 12th Apr 2003 - Mount Keira
West Face
	9 12	★ Iria	Trad 10m	Average
Second time I've climbed it. Did it again for trad practice. This time I liked it!
Sat 29th Mar 2003 - Nowra
Thompson's Point Gunbarrel Wall
	19	★★ Gun Barrel Highway	Sport 25m, 10	★★ Very Good
Really good! Grade is about right, and it's nice and sustained.
Sat 8th Feb 2003 - Mount Keira
South Face
	14	★ No 1 Crack	Trad 6m	Don't Bother
Trad leading practise. Ultra short and pretty boring. Could have solo'd it no probs.
Mon 27th Jan 2003 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Shipley Upper Hot Flyer Wall
	21	★★ Girly Germs	Sport 15m	★★ Very Good
Quite fun. Made hard work out of it, but it was never really difficult. Opening moves were a little strange - probably because I was trying to avoid the dirt.
Mon 27th Jan 2003 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Shipley Upper Grey Slab
	18	★ The Bandoline Grip	Sport 18m, 6	★ Good
Very poorly protected in middle slab section, but it doesn't really matter. Top section is ... OK.
2003 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Centennial Glen Wave Wall
	21	★★ Jaws	Sport 15m, 4	★ Good
Nice! Feels like a gym climb. A bit of a crank-fest.
	23	★★ Split Wave	Sport 20m	★★★ Classic
HARDEST ONSIGHT TO DATE!!! Cool climb! Good holds, powerful moves, steep wall! Possibly a little soft ...
Sat 28th Dec 2002 - Blue Mountains
Mount Victoria Area New York East (Right) Side
	22	★★ Moan Groan Dial Tone	Sport 15m	★★ Very Good
Technically quite easy, just strenuous! Nice laybacks and a bit of everything. Had a cool "leg-swing" move!
	19	★ Exploding Budgies	Sport 15m	Don't Bother
OK, but definitely harder than "Cams". Big rising traverse means lots of drag - probably why it loses a star ...
Sat 28th Dec 2002 - Blue Mountains
Mount Victoria Area New York West (Left) Side
	17 20	★ Landmines for Line-Dancers	Sport 12m	Crap
Warmup. Pretty cruddy - a sign of things to come from New York...
Sat 28th Dec 2002 - Blue Mountains
Mount Victoria Area New York East (Right) Side
	19	★ Silence of the Cams	Sport 15m, 5	Average
Not bad! Straight up, easy holds. Quite delicate!
Wed 25th Dec 2002 - Blue Mountains
Medlow Bath The Sunbath
	14 15	★ Pitang Pitang	Sport 12m, 6	Average
3 year anniversary of outdoor climbing! This is a warmup, but crux was definitely more than 14!
Wed 25th Dec 2002 - Blue Mountains
Mount Victoria Area Mount Piddington Eternity Area
	14	★★ Joseph	Trad 46m	★ Good
FIRST TRAD LEAD! Easy climb, lots of drag! I don't think it's 2 stars though...
Wed 25th Dec 2002 - Blue Mountains
Medlow Bath The Sunbath
	18	★★ Schwing	Sport 46m	★★★ Mega Classic
Been eyeing this ne for ages. Swung leads wih Dave. First pitch is best, top pitch is still great though.
Sat 21st Dec 2002 - Nowra
Bomaderry Creek Mortein Wall
	18	★ Flood	Sport 11m, 4	Average
Pretty easy, despite mega Nowra grease! Dirty, and not that great ...
Sat 23rd Nov 2002 - Mount Keira
South Face
	21	★★★ Sex Haunt	Sport 30m, 13	★★ Very Good
Fell off during onsight attempt 3/8/02 when I grabbed sandy hold on crux. But today I nailed it! Yeah!! Good 21 with nice exposure!
Sat 9th Nov 2002 - Rat's Crag
Rat's Sport
	22	★ Ants In Your Pants	Sport 7m, 7	Average
Was first outdoor climb (25-12-99). After 3 year, I finally returned with Pooks and red-pointed it first attempt! Years of regret - the monkey is off my back!!
	14 17	Reefer Headed Woman	Sport 5m, 4	Crap
A warm up. Nothing more, nothing less.
Sat 2nd Nov 2002 - Mount Keira
North Face
	21	★★★ Wallyard Arete	Sport 18m, 7	★★★ Classic
Cool climb! Had extreme weather. Crux is thin and scary - but super fun!
Sat 2nd Nov 2002 - Mount Keira
West Face
	16 17	★ Blossom	Sport 10m, 4	★ Good
Easy peasy. Nice holds. Good warm up.
Sat 12th Oct 2002 - Mount Keira
West Face
	20	★★ One Blank Wall and 3 Bloody Rooves	Sport 12m, 5	★★ Very Good
Stuffed up the onsight! Tricky crux lunging for crack off smooth wall. Top roof section is easy but pumpy!
Sat 17th Aug 2002 - Mount Keira
West Face
	15 17	★ Piece of Piss Direct	Sport 9m, 4	Don't Bother
A piece of pxxx! Pretty short, & more trouble getting the gear off than it's worth.
Sat 17th Aug 2002 - Mount Keira
South Face
	16	★★ Strong Arms	Sport 14m, 8	★★ Very Good
Nice! Too short. Nice jump for start jug, then pretty cruisy up smooth, clean rock. Good views.
Sat 17th Aug 2002 - Mount Keira
West Face
	20	★ Extra Terrestrial Turkey	Sport 7m	Average
More of a boulder problem than a climb. The start is a thinker, but the top is garbage.
Sat 10th Aug 2002 - Nowra
The Grotto Cliffline Iceman Wall
	19	★ Jester	Sport 20m	Average
Nice & cruisy. Comfy holds.
Sat 3rd Aug 2002 - Mount Keira
West Face
	20	★★ Crawdad	Sport 12m, 5	Average
Pretty thin for a 19. Easy enough up and over bulge. Quite run-out!
Sat 22nd Jun 2002 - Nowra
The Grotto Cliffline The Grotto Proper
	20	★★ Spinning Blades of Steel (Eat My Spinning Blades Of Steel, Motherfucker)	Sport 9m	★★★ Classic
A classic! Lots of heel-hook rests, and a hands-free ledge!
Mon 10th Jun 2002 - Blue Mountains
Mount Victoria Area Bardens Lookout Little Triggers Wall
	17	★★ Hermione	Sport 25m, 8	★ Good
Run-out, loose, but easy as ...
Sat 18th May 2002 - Blue Mountains
Mount Victoria Area Mount York Mezzaluna Area
	16	★★ Mezzaluna	Sport 25m, 8	★★ Very Good
Nice, easy climb up sustained wall. Rock is not the best.
Sat 18th May 2002 - Blue Mountains
Mount Victoria Area Mount York Noodle Wall
	19 20	★ Muriels Wedding and Russells Divorce	Sport 12m	★★ Very Good
Nice, crux is semi-difficult vertical crack with small holds.
Sat 18th May 2002 - Blue Mountains
Medlow Bath The Sunbath
	18	★★ Old Salt	Sport 18m	★ Good
Simple, but with one balancey move.
Sat 20th Apr 2002 - Nowra
Thompson's Point Gunbarrel Wall
	18	★★ Diddy Kong	Sport 24m, 8	★★★ Classic
Definitely a classic! Really nice and sustained, pretty good rock, and well protected.
Fri 5th Apr 2002 - Mount Keira
West Face
	17 18	★ Fingers	Sport 12m, 5	★ Good
Contrived. Did without natural gear except for a nut at start. Not bad.
2002 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Shipley Upper Sandwiches Wall
	18	★ Giles Bradbury Memorial Stretch	Trad 12m	Average
First move eats up all of the 18 grading. The rest is a 7? Easy solo. Some walkouts would be harder.
Tue 13th Apr 2010 - Nowra
Thompson's Point Betty Blue Area
	21	★★ A Day at the Beach	Sport 15m, 6	★★★ Classic
Tue 13th Apr 2010 - Nowra

Pretty tricky.
Tue 13th Apr 2010 - Mount Keira
South Face
	13 16	★★ Travail	Sport 20m, 11	★★★ Classic
Awesome exposure and superb views. Easy climb, but more like a 16.

My first outdoor lead! Enjoyable & sustained.

Tue 13th Apr 2010 - Mount Keira
