20 | ★★ Erg | 25m | Frog Buttress | ★★★ Classic | Thu 18th Aug 2011 | |||
August 2011. Struggled on the fist-crack section. Got it clean on second later the same afternoon.

19 | ★★ Sorcerer's Apprentice | 30m | Frog Buttress | ★★ Very Good | Thu 18th Aug 2011 | |||
August 2011. Climbed clean on second twice, but on my one attempt to lead it I fell on the early fingercrack section (just after the loose blocks). Clean to top from there.

18 | ★★ Montezuma | 30m | Point Perpendicular | ★★ Very Good | Mon 4th Jul 2011 | |||
04 July 2011.Finally fell 3m from the top, having run out of big gear a long way below, and climbed pretty much entirely on dodgy hexes to this point.

19 | ★★★ Icebird | 30m | Point Perpendicular | ★★★ Classic | Sun 8th May 2011 | |||
08 May 2011. Brilliant climbing, pumped out 5m from the top and took an absolutely epic fall onto the bombproof gear below.

19 | ★ Jaws | 32m | Point Perpendicular | ★ Good | Sun 8th May 2011 | |||
08 May 2011. Bleh. Bad technique made the fist crack section amazingly tough for me. Was a good wake-up call to learn how to fist-jam properly.

22 23 | ★★ Dragon's Egg | 20m, 8 | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Sat 17th Dec 2011 | |||
Tough, sustained and tenuous crux... This one is totally worth another lap to get the tick.
|
||||||||
23 | ★★★ Lyptus | 23m, 8 | Blue Mountains | ★★★ Classic | Fri 16th Dec 2011 | |||
I've ticked it before, but this lap I did the "dyno" to the sloper part of the jug... twice. Whoops. A bloody classic climb, worth a lap every time you're at this crag, though once you know the sequence it starts to feel soft for the grade.

23 | ★★ Nev Herrod | 12m, 5 | Blue Mountains | ★ Good | Sat 17th Dec 2011 | |||
So close on the onsight... Fell of the big crimpers 1 metre from the anchors. Too tired on my second shot to commit to the throw. Pretty fun on a short, steep bit of rock.
|
||||||||
24 | ★★ Pallets of Pies | 12m, 4 | Blue Mountains | ★ Good | Sun 6th Nov 2011 | |||
3 more shots today, 6 in total now... Not moving forward, just hitting the wall on the one hard move of the climb. Can land the crux 1 in 3 shots, but never linked the whole thing.
|
||||||||
22 | ★★ Room With a View | 15m | Blue Mountains | ★ Good | Wed 2nd Nov 2011 | |||
A fun headwall sequence, really only 2 moves for the grade. Just too tired (and dark) for the tick today... Next time...
|
||||||||
24 | ★★ Good Big Dog | 22m | Blue Mountains | ★ Good | Sat 19th Nov 2011 | |||
2 shots... All the moves go, but committing to the crimp sequence in the top 1/3rd is definately the crux for me. The moves to the anchors are sequency, but not too hard. It'll definately go next time.
|
||||||||
23 | ★ Acceptably Cosmic | 10m | Blue Mountains | ★ Good | Sat 17th Dec 2011 | |||
Too tired to get the tick. Soft for the grade, but don't underestimate the pump-factor.
|
||||||||
23 | ★ Sprouts Mexicane | 15m | Blue Mountains | Average | Fri 16th Dec 2011 | |||
Awkward, pumpy and sharp, though almost entirely on jugs. The bolts are placed in some weird spots. I wouldn't get on it again, but the route certainly earns some points for being unique.
|
||||||||
24 | ★★ Sydney Rose | 12m | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Fri 16th Dec 2011 | |||
All the moves are dialled, I just need to get on it when I'm not tired. The bolt in the crux is incredibly hard to clip.
|
||||||||
21 | ★ Sincerity Direct Finish | 16m | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Mon 26th Dec 2011 | |||
Nooooooooooo... Had pulled the crux, was matching on the victory crimper before the last move to the anchors, walking my feet up the blank wall, and my right hand blew (friction failed) and off I went, leaving the skin of my fingers behind. Really cool moves!
|
||||||||
21 | ★★ Girly Germs | 15m | Blue Mountains | ★ Good | Sat 31st Dec 2011 | |||
Flew up the bottom section then spooged off the final crux section. Considering the lack of friction, I should've just thrown through the move rather than trying to static it. Definately a route worth getting on again.
|

21 20 | ★ Scramble Syndrome | 20m | Blue Mountains | ★ Good | Sat 31st Dec 2011 | |||
Repeat ascent. Climbed it clean 6 months ago. Spooged off a hold clipping the bolt in the crux, surprising both myself and my belayer with some airtime.
|
||||||||
22 | ★★ Electro Rooter (Electro Rooter 160) | 12m | Nowra | ★★ Very Good | Mon 1st Aug 2011 | |||
August 2011. The climb that destroyed my left shoulder. The huge move left in the middle of this climb is awesome, but my shoulder didn't agree with it.

21 | ★★★ Shakes and Flakes | 30m | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Thu 3rd Mar 2011 | |||
03 March 2011. I seem to remember one crux section after you first move out right, where two specific moves had me completely stumped. Amazing top section under the huge flakes.
