28 | ★★★ Venom | 60m, 4 | ★★★ Classic | |||
Project one tick.
Felt pretty hard first lap, punted if after the traverse second shot, sent the no pressure shot on the 3rd.
Some incredible holds on this one, bit spooge today.

Back dated
Got all hot and bothered on my first shot, cleaned it up second. Climbs better then it looks and is really good fun. It was a bit tricky to fine the holds the first time. |

The Watchtower Faces Pinnacle Face Tiptoe Ridge Area | ||||||
5 | ★★★ Tiptoe Ridge | 120m | ★★★ Classic | |||
A great easy way to finish a great gramps trip with friends.

Seaside Windjammer Wall | ||||||
22 22 R | ★★★ Memorable Moves | 30m | ★★★ Classic | |||
So glad to finally free this old dog. Scene of one of my biggest trad whipper of all time a few years ago. Felt fine today with solid moves and bomber gear.

Fri 8th Jan 2016 - Frog Buttress | ||||||
West of the access track | ||||||
22 | ★★★ Yankee Go Home | 26m | ★★★ Classic | |||
My Onsight finished with my right hand on the jug at the end of the second crux... A massive flapper and a shot and a half later I got past and into my own personal crux in the steep V groove about. 5 days on and hitting the wall.

Northern Group Henry Bolte Wall | ||||||
25 | ★★★ Henry Bolte | 30m, 3 | ★★★ Classic | |||
What a way to finish the trip...
Messed up the Onsight but dialed it down for the send. Sweet route if you like slope crimps and mono's.

Taipan Wall - North | ||||||
25 25 R | ★★★ Medusa | 35m, 3 | ★★★ Classic | |||
Wow that's a pitch and a half.
I tried getting all the gear in the right places with long runner but the rope got stuck in the first flake, mega drag
Sent second shot but was really working up top and that first run out is very gripping!!

Sat 12th Apr 2014 - Blue Mountains | ||||||
Mount Victoria Area Mount Piddington Flake Crack Area | ||||||
24 | ★★ Rhinocerotic Crack | 20m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Dang it so close on the onsight, put all the gear on to the top of the crux then tried climbing back to the knee bar cave to recover. Didn't recover when I climbed back and pumped off.
Felt a couple of grades easier once the gear is on. Good fun.

Glenreagh Fort Knox The Alcove | ||||||
24 | ★★ Kanoon | 12m, 4 | ★★★ Classic | |||
Rad steep juggy corner with a great loft crux. Top is no give away either.
I didn't commit to the throw and popped off, easy second shot. The lone mini fixed should just be replaced by a bolt.

Sun 27th Oct 2013 - Blue Mountains | ||||||
Blackheath Area Shipley Lower | ||||||
24 | FA ★★ Quran Calling | 30m, 12 | ★★ Very Good | |||
FFA. Wow that went a little easier then I expected, the starts thin but its all about the footwork. Climbs on the left side of the arete the whole way (I climbed onto the right at one point and the rope around the arete was scary.)
Such a mega line up big arete, proud indeed.
Thanx for the catches Paul..

Tue 27th Aug 2013 - Frog Buttress | ||||||
East of the access track | ||||||
24 | ★★★ Impulse | 18m | ★★★ Classic | |||
I finally got the chance to try this classic. Every year I have been up here I have want to climb this and today was the day.
Fell two moves from the top in a common spot on the onsight, sent second shot and donated a green C3 for the next ascensionist. Wicked and sustained climbing with thin but adequate gear.

Taipan Wall - South | ||||||
25 | ★★★ Mr. Joshua Pitch 1 | 28m, 8 | ★★★ Mega Classic | |||
Wow taipan rocks!!! First shot putting the gear on fell at the crux, sent second shot pumped out of my mind. I resorted to using any and all of my body part to stay on the wall as my hands weren't working.

Thu 9th May 2013 - Froggatt Edge | ||||||
Tody's Wall | ||||||
★★ Heather Wall | 16m | ★ Good | ||||
This would be considered a descent climb at many Aussie crags. Pretty easy but fun moving on rock. The peak would be a great place to learn trad, so many easy trad routes.

Wed 8th May 2013 - Stanage | ||||||
Stanage Popular BAW's Crawl | ||||||
E1 5c | ★★ Pedlar's Rib | 11m | ★ Good | |||
I pushed the boat out a little bit to far on this one and gave myself a fright. Last solo of the day and pretty gripping, the only gear on the route is after the crux so solo it is.
|
||||||
HVS 5c | ★ Pedlar's Slab | 11m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Solo problem so why even bother tie in. Trick start then easy.
|
||||||
E1 6a | ★★ Punklet | 9m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Thin start to a long reach then good breaks to the top.

VS 4c | ★★★ Hargreave's Original Route | 16m | ★★★ Classic | |||
The highest thing I have soloed but pretty easy. Perfect arvo climbing after rainy morning.

Up to try and free a cam, climbed to the top for a bit of fun.
Dead easy.

Cratcliffe Tor Owl Gully | ||||||
E2 5c E2 5c | ★★★ Fern Hill | 18m | ★★★ Mega Classic | |||
The climb I came here to do.... Fell off the start and hit the ground, but only lightly. Then plugged a bit more gear (6 placements in 2 metres) and then to the top.
Stella route and some of the best grit I have been on. Super

Not real worth trying in for.

13 | ★ Tanner's Leap | 20m | ★ Good | |||
The best way to the summit to watch the sun set. Check out the anchours when you get up there.

21 | ★★ Polkagris | 15m, 4 | ★ Good | |||
Yep this is a hard little climb, fell at the second bolt so I down climbed back to the start for the send.
