Peak Head West Face
19 Baylac Directly Direct (Baylac Direct Direct) - with Mark & Bruno Mixed trad 80m, 10 Classic
Much better 2nd pitch than the normal route. Highly recommend

 
18 Lucifer's Dream - with Mark & Bruno Trad 91m Classic
Suprisingly, I found this climb was fantastic. Just as good as Baylec Direct. Perhaps the jamming is a little more technical as well.

Mega walk in just to discover a 4WD track reaches there as well. Mega three pitch abseil. And two mega 60m solos to get out. I don't recommend this unless you really like slab.

Mermaid Point The Pyramid
17 Rat Tomago - with Ashlee Trad 25m Don't Bother
Started too low. I think I started too low and had to aid the start. The topo in book may be wrong. Calling it an onsight only because I'm pretty sure I on sighted from where the belay should have been. Did in two pitches and had an epic with ash

Hard start, but a cool climb. It is a good warm-up for the crack

Best jamming crack in Perth! Well the best i have done. Unlike the other crappy crack climbs, this one HAS jamming! Too bad it is not another 30m long.

Hard for the grade, but has some spectacular moves! Bolts are a little disconcerting. Absolutely terrifying to hang draws on. I'll be back! #project

15 Surf's Up - with Ashlee Trad 22m Classic
Great climb. Built a hanging belay on ledge 2m up so my belayer wouldn't go swimming with the fishes. If you don't like your belayer, make them swim with the fishes Fell trying to stay inside crack. Better, and easier, if you step out of crack

Mount Trio North East Crag Central Buttress
22 21 Circus Circus - with Adam Sport 30m Classic
I'm calling it a 22. No arguments there. This climb is hard, and the run-outs don't help! I think holds are breaking off these climbs every time they get attempted, thus increasing the grade. It was a long hike in for only one route, but man, Adam and I were cactus! This climb is a 2 star 22, and I loved it! With the wind blowing hard, all I had to do was open my wings and fly!

Trad 270m Very Good
Adam summoned some Yosemite inspired roof jamming moves to a beautiful crack with smearing feet on P2. I got the X-rated, adults only version, of Honnold's 'Alone on the Wall' (P3). Managed to claw my gripped body up an overhang. Then Adam led into a ramp and we finished via The Devils Nose. Awesome climbing. Variant on third pitch. Instead of weaving around roofs, we went left to HFG, traversed right under wall (good wire) and directly up over roof on right edge to belay further up and right.

22 Fuelling the Dancing Bear - with Ashlee Sport 30m Mega Classic
Nabbed it! Just! I had holds breaking off, caught my self falling, and got a little pumped. How can such a loose climb be such a CLASSIC. One of the best climbs I have done anywhere. Reminiscent of Upper Shipley in the Blueys, although the rock is completely different. I love this route. Highly recommended.

20 Brothels of Baghdad (Brothels of Bachdad) - with Adam Sport 25m, 8 Very Good
Adam- "this is an easy 18". Did it as a #warm-up and got pumped. But I hung on nonetheless.

 
21 Wormsley's Circus - with Ashlee Sport 25m, 7 Very Good
Adam- "this is a hard 23", so I jumped on it. Much easier than what Adam suggested, although the way he tries to climbs it, perhaps it is more like a 25.

MEGA CLASSIC!!!! A WA testpiece. Hard and sustained for the grade. Almost onsighted it.... almost

Did it as one megapitch. Rope drag wasn't too bad. Great climb with some thought provoking moves.

 
17 Hail Salathe - with Bruno Mixed trad 35m, 2 Very Good
Again.... hard for the grade. Take about 15 bolt plates for this one, and I used a .5 cam in the crack at top. We used this as a way out. Excellent onsight by Bruno.

This needs to be up-graded to a 24. This climb is seriously hard. The start is a boulder problem, and a real hard one at that! Has something broken off?

21 Mull Up - with Bruno Sport 23m, 6 Don't Bother
Went for the onsight, and was doing well. Until I got below that third bolt. Needed my mate to climb adjacent climb and drop a LONG sling that allowed me to continue. This route needs extra bolts. A fall from trying to reach the third bolt would be very unpleasant. This climb was not worth breaking my legs for...

Lead upto third bolt and then decided it was better to drop a rope down it. Have got all the moves dialled, just need a few sessions to link it all up. Still a big ask.

This is not better than chocolate. In fact, I have eaten chocolate that I found in the street gutter, covered in chew marks from mice that was better than this climb. I do not rate it at all. The start of the first pitch is cool. But the rest is just awful. There could however, be some confusion to what route we were actually on.

Sam insisted on a ground up approach. So after he bailed off the start.... I placed the gear, fell higher up, and thus get a seconder's ascent I had a rope and backpack on my back which did not help.

 
26 Dancing The Deep Blue - with Sam Davies Mixed trad 25m, 2 Mega Classic
