17 20 Conservative - with Jacob Sport 20m, 8 Very Good
Good warm up

 
21 The Wibbly Wobbly Way - with Jacob Sport 20m, 7 Mega Classic
This is a sensational route. Loads of fun that requires some rugby like tactics to move past the big blocks.

 
22 Bill's Words Of Wisdom - with Jacob Sport 20m, 5 Mega Classic
Unfortunately got pumped and fell off top. It was hard to onsight as the bolts are so far apart the you can't see them! Slightly dangerous fall potential in a few places. But great climbing! Will be back for the tick!

 
Sat 7th Jul 2018 - Wobbly Wall
20 Golden Years - with Ashlee Sport 20m, 8 Average
My least favourite route here so far

 
18 Style & Grace - with Ashlee Sport 20m, 7 Very Good
Great route. Felt hard for an 18. Very enjoyable.

 
18 Casting Out The Demon - with Ashlee Sport 20m, 5 Very Good
Cool, but again, could be a 19.

 
19 20 Fear & Loathing - with Ashlee Sport 20m, 7 Classic
Sweet route! Thought it was awesome.

 
Tue 3rd Jul 2018 - Arawata Terrace
Upper Tier
23 Acapi - with Ashlee Sport 12m, 6 Very Good
So desperate to mark this as an onsight. I had the chains in my face and slipped off like an idiot! Was freezing cold, the flake was wet and loose, and my fingers and toes numb as sausages. Oh well. Another time. It's a good route.

 
20 Happy Hooker - with Ashlee Sport 20m, 9
Sopping wet but thought I could still give it a go. I was wrong. Almost broke a leg climbing over the starting boulder, got covered an mud and decided it was not worth it. Definitely a summer crag!

 
17 SAS - with Ashlee Sport 8m, 3 Don't Bother
A few suspect holds here

 
Sun 1st Jul 2018 - Hospital Flat

20 Xena-Warrior Princess - with Ashlee Sport 20m, 9 Very Good

21 Hit the Deck - with Ashlee Sport 20m, 5 Good
A little commitment required to start, then tough move pulling through roof.

 
22 Roll Up - with Ashlee Sport 20m, 5 Very Good
Small holds through crux! Nice route.

Sport 270m Mega Classic
The ultimate! Had the entire place to ourselves. 7.5 hours car to car, including an hour stuck on the second abseil with our short rope. Some rocks in the backpack gave us enough stretch to get down. I seconded the entire route hahaha

 
Sun 3rd Jun 2018 - Blue Mountains
Mount Victoria Area Mount Piddington Flake Crack Area
21 Traverse of the Gods Direct Start - with Ashlee Mixed trad 25m, 5 Very Good

Woomera Wall
23 City Limits - with Jimi, Kate, Aparna Ramesh Sport 15m Very Good
So dirty... gave it a clean and sent it easy as. Shame someone stole the anchor!

Cool warmup. Alzheimer onsight

 
25 Month of Sundays - with Kate Mixed trad 25m, 5 Don't Bother
Urmagawd... Why did I jump on this again. I hate it.

 
Wed 25th Apr 2018 - Mountain Quarry
Fuzzbucky Wall
23 Carroterrorism - with kate Sport 30m, 9 Very Good
Thanks to whoever rebolted this. Still many carrots on this wall which need to go. Great route. Hard for 23

 
22 Luck of the Draw - with kate Sport 25m, 10 Very Good
Cool route but those bolts are disgraceful. One even points downwards. Dangerous!

 
25 The Wiz - with kate Sport 25m, 10
Thought I was going up the Luck of the Draw hahaha. Though it was super hard for a 22! Again... crappy bolting wrecks something that may be kind of fun

 
Sat 21st Apr 2018 - Jane Fonda Workout Wall
16 The Devil's Staircase - with Ashlee Sport 25m, 9 Good
Great warm up route

 
25 Rigor Mortice - with Ashlee Sport 25m, 9 Classic
Jumped on this on toprope as ash had all the draws on S'not That Bad (shares same anchor). Pretty good work out!

 
22 23 S'not That Bad - with Ashlee Sport 20m, 9 Classic
Cruised it and this time no holds came off! Awesome route! Ash did real well to grab the send too

 
Sun 15th Apr 2018 - Jane Fonda Workout Wall
20 Resurrection - with Jacob Sport 25m, 8 Very Good
Someone had to get Jacob out of his mess! Forgot to take draws, so had to clip into bolt and haul them up from the ground.

 
24 The Biscuit Factory - with Ashlee Sport 28m, 10
Though Jane was gonna be out of the wind! I was wrong. Worst idea to go climbing! Almost got blown off several times. The route is great though. Though I had it in me to do the warm up-onsight trick, but got pumped through the bulge on some rather insecure holds, Excellent route. Will be back for the tick someday.

 
Sun 8th Apr 2018 - Jane Fonda Workout Wall
25 Rigor Mortice - with Ashlee Sport 25m, 9 Classic
Excellent route! I really love it. Perhaps a little cruxless.... but that's what makes it good! It's sustained. Not as steep as Melting Point. I knocked quite a bit of rock off, so it'll probably take some time to come into good condition. Climb it! And wear a helmet!

 
22 Feminine Positions - with Ashlee Sport 17m, 4 Classic
Very very very good climbing (for the first half). Very very very committing to 4th bolt! Not an ideal warmup as I definitely needed to cool down after that!

 
Sat 7th Apr 2018 - Jane Fonda Workout Wall
22 23 S'not That Bad - with Ashlee Sport 20m, 9 Classic
ARGH! I lost the onsight when a big sidepull let go! Great route! Loads of fun. Really good climbing, but again, heaps of loose stuff will probably be coming down for a while.

 
20 Snap Crackle & Plop - with Ashlee Sport 25m, 8 Very Good
A great warm-up option now at Jane Fonda. Keeps you interested the further right you head.

Awesome route! Little soft for the grade but I'll take it! Gotta tread softly.

 
21 The Voice of the Beehive - with Ashlee Sport 13m, 3 Very Good
Our warm up was a little more difficult than expected! Good route though.

 
22 Electricorp Production - with Ashlee Sport 17m, 5 Very Good
Ah man... it is impossible to onsight ANYTHING at this crag. Bloody tickmaster goes and spoils everything. Anyway, I managed to snag this flash... just!

 
23 Send a Gorilla - with Ashlee Sport 18m Classic
Fun route! Went for the flash, as an onsight is out the window with all the bloody tick marks, and was just too tired by the end of the day.

 
23 Superconductor - with Ashlee Sport 25m Mega Classic
Woah! This is nails! Great route... bolted in a way that deserves your full attention. Climb of the crag? An honest 23

20 Hi I'm Doctor Terrific - with Ashlee Sport 14m, 4 Very Good
Nice warm up. Terrific position.

 
21 Headplant - with Ashlee Sport 14m, 4 Very Good
Not sure about the grading. Seemed about as difficult as Hi I'm Doctor Terrific but easier than Walk the line.

 
20 Walk the line - with Ashlee Sport 15m, 4 Very Good
The most difficult route on this wall! Sustained. Fell off on onsight attempt.

 
22 Go With the Flow - with Ashlee Sport 14m, 4 Classic
Very cool! Last route before the rain arrived. Soft for the grade.
