Sun 7th Jan 2024 - Upper Gara Gorge
Downstream climbing areas The Fortress
22 ★★★ Cloud Grazer - with Brendan Heywood Sport 18m, 6 ★★★ Classic
What a beauty. Skippy has outdone himself here. A fine line with plenty of interest. Plenty of prawning action and forgot to unclip my first draw. But the psych was high. Another Fortress classic!

A little more prepped than it’s neighbour. Classic Gara crimps with a fun finish!

  
22 ★ Tac Tic Toe - with Brendan Heywood, Alec Eastwood Top rope 8m ★ Good
A punchy, short and sharp number. Was please when enough stayed on to get the send. Really needs some key holds glued if it is to last.

Fri 10th Feb 2023 - Ebor Gorge
Pub Buttress
23 ★★★ Under the Bridge — 2 attempts - with Alec Eastwood Trad 15m ★★★ Mega Classic
Rolled in late feeling flat but summoned the courage to get back on this. First attempt went way smoother than last week but I ended up dripping blood on Alec and taking a mini whipper at the crux. Regrouped, retaped and tried again and somehow managed to sort the beta out enroute and get through the crux section by the finest of margins. It was all only just in the end and definitely one of my more memorable sends. Right up there with the best routes in Ebor.

V3 ★★ 60's Spiderman — 3 attempts - with Brendan Heywood Boulder 3m ★★ Very Good

Sat 14th Jan 2023 - Nowra

This thing is gold! I remeber looking up at it 5 or 6 years ago thinking I should get on it one day....that day finally arrived. Sorted the crux on my first shot and had enough juice to get through it on my second. Great route Michael!

  
20 ~20 ★★★ Possum Magic - with Brendan Heywood, Benji Dutaillis, Alec Eastwood Trad 13m ★★★ Classic
A very nice, high quality line! After a long hiatus I was fortunate enough to milk the rest and find some endurance.

V2 ★ The tongs - with Brendan Heywood, Michael Moore, Volodymyr K, Clive Boulder 4m ★ Good
Starts a little chossy but improves a little higher. Shoulda topped it out.... :-/

  
V6 ★★★ The Blacksmith - with Brendan Heywood, Michael Moore, Volodymyr K, Clive Boulder 3m ★★★ Mega Classic
Great climb, awesome crew, spectacular setting. I sat down again pretty quickly after trying to pull on to this for the first time. very stepe and not much to hold onto. Funny how these things evolve though. Got up it with some technical toe scumming. Gotta love a good toe scum ;-)

Thu 3rd Feb 2022 - Ebor Gorge
Pub Buttress
16 ★★ Stonkey Kong - with Brendan Heywood, Simon Porter Trad 15m ★★★ Classic
The top section felt like I was throwing choss at Simon but will clean up further. The bottom 2/3rds is really high quality jamming with options for the top out.

  
17 ★★★ Stonka Truck - with Brendan Heywood, Simon Porter Trad 15m ★★★ Classic
A really clean, stonking good line with great jams and pro. Stonking was the word of the day.

  
Fri 14th Jan 2022 - Ebor Gorge
Pub Buttress
16 ★★ Sunshine in a dress - with Brendan Heywood, Benji Dutaillis Trad 12m ★ Good
An engaging experience. I loved the helix hug deep in the crack around the back of the pillars. Short but special.

  
18 ★★★ Booster transfer - with Brendan Heywood, Benji Dutaillis Trad 12m ★★★ Classic
I was a bit spent by this point. Got up it okay but was working at the top. Went for the pure crack ascent also which got tricky at the top out. surprised not to completely crumble the chossy finish hold and blow my top out. I was reefing on that thing only to easily remove it from above 😐 nice lead Skippy.

  
21 ★★ Raspberry kisses — 2 attempts - with Brendan Heywood, Benji Dutaillis Trad 12m ★★ Very Good
A cracking good route.

  
19 ★ Shoulder block - with Brendan Heywood, Benji Dutaillis Trad 12m ★ Good

Pub Buttress
17 ★★★ Stonka Truck - with Alec Eastwood Trad 15m ★★★ Classic
A sweet finish to a great day.

  
21 ★★ Kellogs Just Right — 2 attempts - with Alec Eastwood Trad 12m ★★★ Mega Classic
Felt much smoother than my previous session but ended up being the gnarliest of fights. I got super close on my first burn and, leaving nothing in the tank, was pretty fortunate to pull through on my second shot. One of my most favourite/memorable routes at Ebor.

  

Showing 1 - 100 out of 1,121 ascents.
