Atridae Muldoon Area
	25	★★ Fail Safe - with Joanna Lazniewska	Mixed trad 18m, 3	★★ Very Good

Mon 24th Aug 2020 - Moonarie
Checkers Wall
	19	★★★ Pine Crack - with Joanna Lazniewska	Trad 65m	★★★ Mega Classic
P1 - "Mega Classic" does not do this route justice! Probably the best route I have ever done. Ran out of gear and forearms towards the top, resulting a range of emotions - panic, fear, acceptance, commitment, triumph.
Mon 24th Aug 2020 - Moonarie
Southern Crags
	16	★★ Crack Up - with Joanna Lazniewska, Nelson Gaske	Trad 38m	★★ Very Good
Guidebook had no stars for this route - good to see it with 3 stars in thecrag.

Old-school chimney that is a real battle.
Mon 23rd Dec 2019 - Halls Gap Area
South-East Mt Difficult Range The Watchtower
	20	★ Happy Jack - with Joanna	Mixed trad 15m, 3	Average
OK climbing, but the bolts protect the easy moves, and leave you run out at the crux, which didn't make much sense. Ended up using some average wires to fill the gap.

Sun 24th Apr 2011 - Arapiles
Northern Group High Dive Gully
	27	★★ Power Corruption and Lies	Trad 15m	★★★ Classic
Great little route, with many spots you can fall off (as I found out). Bolt hanger (1st bolt) snapped off when I tugged on the draw!
Sun 27th Feb 2011 - Arapiles
The Pharos and Surrounds The Pharos Back Wall

Sustained climbing the whole way - no hard moves.
Wed 1st Dec 2010 - Bundaleer Area
Bundaleer
	21	★★★ Blimp	Mixed trad 25m, 1

Tue 1st Jan 2008 - Arapiles
The Pharos and Surrounds The Pharos Uncle Charlie
	24	★★ Nose Job	Trad 30m	★ Good
Ticked many moons ago.
Fri 19th Aug 2005 - The Black Range
Mt Talbot
	24	★ Roger Ramset	Trad 10m	★ Good
Easier than Big Wed until the big move to the lip of the roof. More average looking bolts.
	23	★★ Big Wednesday	Trad 10m	★ Good
A good spot on a rainy day. Bolts are looking a bit ordinary.
Sat 23rd Apr 2005 - Arapiles
King Rat Area King Rat Gully Right Fork

Big, steep moves. Missed the on-sight a couple of years ago.

Sun 16th Jan 2005 - Summerday Valley
Back Wall
	17	★★ Overkill	Trad 23m	★★ Very Good
Had no probs with the long reach crux, but I poorly protected the start which made it interesting.
Sun 16th Jan 2005 - Summerday Valley

Good pro. Great corner crack climbing.
Sat 15th Jan 2005 - Bundaleer Area
Bundaleer
	16	★★ Basilisk (Basillsk)	Trad 65m	Average
Any stars this climb gets are for the 5m traverse. The rest is ordinary. Not recommended for a group of 3!

Central Gully Central Gully Left Moby Dick Pinnacle
	24	★★ Horrorscope	Trad 16m	★★ Very Good
Some pretty good moves on this climb.
Thu 13th Jan 2005 - Arapiles
Central Gully Central Gully Right Dreadnought Gully
	24	★★ Dreadnought	Trad 54m	★★★ Classic

Good climb out of the sun.
Sun 26th Dec 2004 - Arapiles
Voodoo Area Rats Alley
	19	★★ Rat's Alley	Mixed trad 25m, 1	Average
Wasn't really any gear on the climb to clean - so more like a top-rope really. Another climb I will never lead.
Sat 11th Dec 2004 - Summerday Valley
Main Wall
	11	★★ Waxman	Trad 25m	★★ Very Good
An easy, short classic! Even in the rain.

Warm-up route...

Sat 30th Oct 2004 - Arapiles
Fang Buttress and Surrounds Major Mitchell Gully Morfydd Wall
	22	★★ Feral Chicken	Mixed trad 20m, 1	★ Good

Mon 4th Oct 2004 - Arapiles

Very tricky mantle. Great fun.
Sun 3rd Oct 2004 - Arapiles

Easy moves for the grade, but the pro was fiddly at the crux
Sat 2nd Oct 2004 - Arapiles
Bluffs Flinders Lane Area
	17	★ Scorpion Direct Start	Trad 14m	Don't Bother
Horrible undergraded jamming. Harder than Hyena!
Sat 2nd Oct 2004 - Arapiles
Fang Buttress and Surrounds Plaque

Better than it looks - and hard for 16.
Tue 21st Sep 2004 - Victoria Range
Mt Fox Area Muline Crag

What were they thinking when they bolted this???? Very ordinary climb.
Sun 11th Jul 2004 - Arapiles
Grotto Wall Area Grotto Wall
	14	★ Squeaker	Trad 41m	Don't Bother
How does this climb get a star??? Loose blocks, vegetation, and a poor walk-off make this climb impossible to recommend
Sat 10th Jul 2004 - Arapiles
Central Gully Central Gully Left Moby Dick Pinnacle
	18 17	★★ Moby Dick	Trad 15m	★★ Very Good
A great little climb. Previously top-roped a year or two ago.
Sat 10th Jul 2004 - Arapiles
Fang Buttress and Surrounds Fang Buttress
	17 16	★ Kamikaze	Trad 20m	★ Good

Sat 10th Jul 2004 - Arapiles
Central Gully Central Gully Left Moby Dick Pinnacle
	18	★★ Hyaena	Trad 16m	★★ Very Good
I hate jamming! One very tough section, followed by nice climbing to the top. Would be a tough lead....
Fri 2nd Jul 2004 - Arapiles
The Pharos and Surrounds The Pharos South Face
	20	★★ Dazed and Confused	Trad 20m	★ Good
Seconded Lawrie. I expected to walk up it - but struggled like hell!
Wed 30th Jun 2004 - Arapiles
Northern Group High Dive Gully
	23	★ Cellular Destruction	Trad 8m	★ Good
Not sure if I get a full tick for this, due to not pulling the final mantle in the pouring rain. Would be a very hard climb placing the gear.
Sat 12th Jun 2004 - Arapiles
Voodoo Area New Image Wall
	18	★★ Crooked Mile	Trad 20m	★ Good
The only tick on a very wet long weekend at Arapiles. Save a medium size cam or two for the crux near the top.
Sat 5th Jun 2004 - Norton Summit
The Cave
	24	Pivoting Head	Mixed trad 17m, 7	Average
An old trad route reborn into a sport route. Easy climbing - the crux is clipping the bolts
Mon 26th Apr 2004 - Cleland
Bandicoot Buttress
	21	★★ Cling Wrapped Cat	Mixed trad 13m, 3	★ Good
Easy slabbing through most of the climb leads to a steep cruxy finish. Draws already on thanks to Dave
Sun 11th Apr 2004 - Moonarie
Gargoyle Wall
	16	Rubbery Under Arms	Trad 35m	Crap
Think old-school. Think moss. Think loose blocks. Think horrible thrutching. Think dubious route description. Think Rubbery Under Arms. Think of another climb to do.
Sun 11th Apr 2004 - Moonarie
Flying Buttress
	21	Bird Of Prey	Mixed trad 25m, 3	★ Good
Great face climbing, although a tiny bit contrived (is the flake in or not?)
Fri 9th Apr 2004 - Moonarie
The Ramparts
	20	Jezebel Spirit	Trad	★ Good
A decent line up the arete next to Stranger.
Sun 21st Mar 2004 - Arapiles
Voodoo Area Voodoo Buttress
	18	★★ Voodoo	Trad 65m	★★★ Classic
What a great climb. First pitch was a bit old-school for me, and I had a few moments. Second pitch was a bit nothing (maybe that's where it looses it's star), but the third pitch was a ripper - reminded me of Flying Buttress at Moonarie.
Sat 20th Mar 2004 - Arapiles
Pilot Error Cliffs Pilot Error Area
	18	★★ Daily Planet	Trad 20m	Average
No quite sure what the star is for. Bush-bash to get to the ledge, then sub-par protection.
Sat 20th Mar 2004 - Arapiles
Pilot Error Cliffs Lois Lane Wall
	15	Calypso	Trad 20m	★ Good
A good warm-up route.
Sat 10th Jan 2004 - Morialta
Thorn Buttress
	24	★ Two Hour Hole	Trad 18m	★ Good
Bottom half now a sport route. One hard move, and then enough space between gear to keep you interested.
Sat 3rd Jan 2004 - Arapiles
Central Gully Upper Central Gully Mari Buttress
	20	★★ Electric Warrior	Trad 30m	★★★ Classic
Got it clean after falling at the lower crux a few months ago. Top crux felt easier second time around. Hard for the grade.
Fri 2nd Jan 2004 - Arapiles
The Pharos and Surrounds Pharos Gully Cheops Buttress
	19	★★ Cheops	Trad 20m	★★ Very Good
Did the 18 variant. Great climb to do on a hot day. Good pro, but hard for the (18) grade.
Fri 2nd Jan 2004 - Arapiles
Atridae The Flight Deck
	24 23	★★★ Orestes	Trad 40m	★★★ Classic
Got it second shot. Thanks to Hallie for placing the gear on lead (and blowing his arms to pieces in the process)
2004 - Arapiles
King Rat Area King Rat Gully Left Fork
	15	★ Scylla	Trad 15m	Don't Bother
I think the grading police need to have a look at this climb.
	19 18	★★ I'm A Little Asteroid	Trad 25m	★★★ Classic
Great face climbing and well protected.
	18	★★ I'm A Little Dinosaur	Trad 25m	★★ Very Good
Watch out for toy dinosaurs.
Sun 28th Dec 2003 - Morialta
Far Crag
	23	★ Illequipt Left Side	Trad 14m	★ Good
Been trying to get this sucker on and off for a few years. A bit contrived, and felt very hard for the grade.
Thu 4th Dec 2003 - Mitcham Quarries
Car Crash Quarry Sector 2 - Central
	16	★ Naturalists in a High Tech World	Trad 8m	Average
A nice jamming move through the crux, but it's on average gear and average rock.
Sun 30th Nov 2003 - Mitcham Quarries
Car Crash Quarry Sector 4 - Graffiti Wall
	22	★ Gonads RHV	Trad 9m	★ Good
A couple of nice moves. A pretty tough move at the top leads to bolts with no hangers.
Sun 16th Nov 2003 - Arapiles
The Pharos and Surrounds Pharos Gully Huey and Satellites
	18	★★ Huey	Trad 16m	★★ Very Good
Got it after falling off 12 months ago. Solid for the grade.

One of the best climbs of the weekend. Pumpy but great pro. Do it!
Sat 15th Nov 2003 - Arapiles
Northern Group Kachoong Area
	18	★★ Hurts	Trad 18m	★ Good
They say it is a good warm-up for Kachoong, but it blew my arms to pieces!
	21	★★★ Kachoong	Mixed trad 25m, 1	★★★ Mega Classic
Finally got it after having a sit a month ago.
Sat 15th Nov 2003 - Arapiles
The Pharos and Surrounds Pharos Gully Cheops Buttress

The Pharos and Surrounds The Pharos Front Wall and West Face
	14 13	★ Jezebel	Trad 86m	Average
The first 2 pitches are average (specially in the rain), but the 3rd pitch is great. We finished off with the second pitch of Oceanoid.
Sat 25th Oct 2003 - Arapiles
Mitre Rock South Mitre
	14	★ The Mitre	Trad 25m	Don't Bother
Horrible little climb. Didn't enjoy it at all. Thought every piece of pro was going to pop-out!
Sat 25th Oct 2003 - Arapiles
Mitre Rock North Mitre
	17	★★ Edgell Gerber Memorial Flake Climb	Trad 30m	★★ Very Good
One of the nicest 17's I've done. Worth more than 1 star!
