The Trenches AWOL
V2 R AWOL Boulder 4m Classic
It's a really fun problem. Not R rated, good flat sandy landing, though the topout has a bit of spice.

V2 The Rude Bomb Boulder 3m Good
Cool line of pockets with poor feet, and the obvious line here to my eye.

 
V2 R Napalm Death Boulder 3m Very Good
Bit dirty but there is a great climb there if you brush a bit. 'R' rating is too much, it's fine.

Great mantle!

Attractive feature, would be alright with more brushing and traffic.

Downclimb to access Gilligan's Island

V0- The Descent Boulder 3m Good
Kind of classic in its own way as something that's genuinely easy, really.

 
V2 Drew's Bomb Boulder 4m Classic
Proper quality in my opinion. Switzerland on the beach.

V4 Mon Panache Boulder 4m Very Good
V2 Slabmaster Boulder 6m Classic
You can really imagine 70's Mikl slamming a single crappy carrot on top of this thing, rehearshing it once, and then thrashing to glory in volleys or boots or whatever. This glorious highball is so overhanging that it's possible you'd land in the trees on the way down before the crash pad. These days I think would actually protect ok with a lot of pads though.

Nice roof climb. Rock is better than i expected. Entertaining mantle to sort the gym climbers from the sneaky veterans.

The Promised Land Middle Tier Adam And Eves Boys The Abel Boulder
V2 Get On Your Knees And Pray Boulder 5m Very Good
...you know, for V2 I can't think of many better problems in Sydney really. Fun pumpy monkeying into a commiting finish at the grade. Seems to be cleaning up well.

 
Sun 30th Mar 2014 - East Killara
The Promised Land Middle Tier The Holy Slab
V0 V2 Put Your Faith In Friction Boulder 6m Good
A big line with nice climbing. Though maybe a little carried away with the V grades.

The Promised Land Top Tier King Davids Overhang
V3 James The Son Of Alphaeus Boulder 5m Average
Climbed this line more or less.

The moves and holds are very cool, but the rock quality unfortunately ruins it a bit for me. Ranger Daves projects here are monstrous though!

Cool find. A deadpoint that begs to be done linking interesting features.

Horrible squeeze but the most obvious and secure access to the top of the cliff down the right hand end.

 
Sun 22nd Sep 2013 - Lindfield Rocks
She-Oak Wall
V0 She-Oak Crack Boulder 5m
Solo aid practice - micro traxion for top rope self belay, plus backup knots on other side of the rope. A couple laps with passive pro only, some top stepping, and also a bit of cam hooking and bat hooking.

We sit-started with a heel on the right, will have to try it again the original way. Great slopers, burly climbing.

When Crags Collide Lindfield With A Water View
V2 I Just Want to Climb Boulder 7m Very Good
I think this is what we climbed. Top out is fine, but have a spotter waiting on the top just in case! Classic Sydney sandstone highball. Use the optional mono for full value!

Fun enough little feature. Probably hard to find again, but just go to the Blackberry boulders and keep on going up the ridge.

V2 Grasping For The Wind Boulder 4m Good
Bit sandy, but the arete holds are subtle and the topout is very thought provoking.

 
V2 Hold On Salior Boulder 4m Good
V0 Letterbox Crack Boulder 3m
V3 V2 Rock The Boat Boulder 4m Classic
Excellent problem! One of my favourites in Sydney now!

Took me a couple of sessions, and some actually good boulderers have also been seen flailing on this, so at least V3 I reckon.

 
V0 Perfect Flake Boulder 3m Good
V1 Red Cheeked Boulder 5m

Great stuff! Easier if you take the footholds near the ground as in.
