You've got to love stepping into space to start this problem, but nothing else about this is memorable to me.
|
||||||
V1 V0 | ★ Flake Route | 6m | ★★ Very Good | |||
A great heart starter. Harder than V1s in the area. The moss doesn't help.
|
||||||
V0 | ★ Amphitheatre Traverse | 2m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Lots for the hands but not so much for the feet. An excellent problem!
|
||||||
Sun 1st Sep 2019 - Beechworth Area | ||||||
Beechworth Gorge D | ||||||
V1 V2 | ★ Unnamed 3 | 4m | ★ Good | |||
Soft for a V2. Perhaps it's just my long reach. Worthy repeat

Fun and easy. Follow the ledges to the left or head straight up. Even my 4y.o enjoyed this twice!
|
||||||
V0 | ★ Unnamed 2 | 4m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Well worth the send, both on the right and left sides of the arete. Lovely delicate laybacking. Worthy of two separate problems

Mt Pilot Unearthed Wall | ||||||
11 | ★ Lucky Charlie | 15m, 6 | ★ Good | |||
First lead in about 9 months (Ugh!) and it was a great way to ease back in! From here I set up a TR for a bunch of beginner friends to play on. A great spot for beginners!
|
||||||
15 | ★ Sticky Date Sunrise | 20m, 6 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Lots of fun! a lovely start though quite reachy to the first bolt. Another excellent TR for the Beginners. Shame about the rope drag, but hey, thats Slab for ya!

Lost & Found Wall | ||||||
17 | ★ Evolution - with Brendon Flanagan, Matt Short | 9m, 3 | ★ Good | |||
17 at the start but then drops to about a 14. Some tricky crimpers but this route definitely favors the long.
|
||||||
15 | ★ The Meaning Of Life - with Brendon Flanagan, Matt Short | 11m, 4 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Best climb on the wall. Lovely slab climbing at the start with some delicate finger work, then it finishes well. Solid grade throughout
|
||||||
12 | ★ Hillsong Brainwash Syndrome - with Brendon Flanagan, Matt Short | 11m, 3 | ★ Good | |||
Funky start and then some great jug filled climbing. Watch some of the thin ledges and holds. I can see this route refining with time.
|
||||||
17 | ★★ Foundlings - with Brendon Flanagan, Matt Short | 15m, 6 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Quite a nice line.
|
||||||
15 | ★ Lost property - with Brendon Flanagan, Matt Short | 15m, 1 | ★ Good | |||

|
||||||
18 | ★★ Woken Furies - with Brendon Flanagan, Matt Short | 10m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Very worthy of the stars! Lots of fun with great holds. Was over far to quickly!
|
||||||
16 | ★ Intelligent Design - with Brendon Flanagan, Matt Short | 9m, 3 | ★ Good | |||
The starting moves make the climb then it drops down to about a 14. Fun problem solving from the mantle through the scoop.

An excellent introduction to Multipitch climbing! Great exposure over a beautiful view of the Three Sisters. The whole climb is well worth a repeat, but especially the final grade 17 variant.

The Frontline Frontline Left Hand Side | ||||||
V3 V3 R | ★★ Milo on the Rocks | 3m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Excellent problem. I love that space above the solid ledge where you have to cling to a crimper.
|
||||||
V0 | ★ Frontrow | 3m | ★ Good | |||
cool little problem. having a long reach helps
|
||||||
V0 | ★ B? | 6m | ||||
easy and fun on the top out
|

Thu 27th Nov 2014 - The Fear Factory | ||||||
Kennedy Wall and Beyond | ||||||
V4 | ★★ Chemical Warfare | 4m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Yeah! A thorough clean of the top does the trick. Great moves up the middle to a reasonably ballsy topout
|
||||||
Sun 28th Sep 2014 - Tambourine Bay | ||||||
Main Crag | ||||||
16 | ★ Tambourine Dream | 12m | ★ Good | |||
Not worth the star and more of a high 16. Still worth it though.
|
||||||
18 | ★ K3 Variant 1 | 8m | ★★ Very Good | |||
One of the better routes here. Lots of fun. Great moves. Star material
|
||||||
18 | ★★ K3 Variant 2 | 10m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Same as variant 1. Fantastic climbing! Worth a repeat

Nice sit start with a committing topout

Another fun problem

Great moves up through the crimpers. Recommended!
|
||||||
Wed 6th Aug 2014 - Killara | ||||||
The Block | ||||||
V3 | ★★ State of origin 1 | 3m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Definitely a classic for this area. A Superb start - sustained all the way. I didn't feel like the broken hold raised the grade.
|
||||||
V2 | ★★ Ugly arete | 3m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Nice big holds. great overhanging climbing!
|
||||||
V4 | ★★ Teddybear's picnic | 3m | ★★ Very Good | |||
An Excellent problem. Stoked for the onsight. worth repeating
|
||||||
V0 | Warm Up 1 | ★ Good | ||||
an excellent warm up. Thought it was a sit start initially - "V0 for this??" realized the error of my ways
|
||||||
V0 | ★ Warm Up 2 | 3m | ★ Good | |||
Another good warm up. Nice holds - like a ladder
|
||||||
V1 | ★★ Awesome arete | 4m | ★★ Very Good | |||

|
||||||
V2 | ★ Flake to flake | 4m | ★ Good | |||

fun, easy climbing. gotta love an unique feature
|
||||||
V2 | ★★ The pinch | ★ Good | ||||

|
||||||
Sun 3rd Aug 2014 - The Spit | ||||||
Pearl Bay The Pearl Bay Quarry | ||||||
V3 | ★★ 7 | 4m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Another fantastic problem here. The sit start gave it some funky problem solving. One of the better V3s out there
|
||||||
V1 | ★ It's Not Cheating! | 3m | ★ Good | |||
A thought provoking though contrived problem. A tricky finish if you don't use the tree. Fun!
|
||||||
V1 | ★ Jump and Mantle | 2m | ★ Good | |||
A fun mantle, which didn't give as much challenge as expected
|
||||||
Sat 2nd Aug 2014 - The Spit | ||||||
Pearl Bay The Pearl Bay Quarry | ||||||
V1 | ★ 11 | 4m | Average | |||
Easier than 12 to right of it. A good reach helps

Good warm up. A enjoyable play in the sun
|
||||||
V0 | Three Storey Rock | 3m | Average | |||

|
||||||
Sun 6th Jul 2014 - Narrabeen | ||||||
Slabs | ||||||
18 | ★ A - with Michal Lisa Archer | 10m, 4 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Unlike most routes at the Slabs! I loved the more burly qualities of this route. The lay back on the crimp at the start.
|
||||||
18 | ★ Quick fang down the parkway - with Michal Lisa Archer | 10m, 4 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Some more thought provoking moves! A nice change from the slab fest above
|

|
||||||
Sun 29th Jun 2014 - Earlwood | ||||||
V2 V3 | ★ Bardwell Dyno | 3m | ★ Good | |||
An easy leap, but worth doing
|
||||||
17 | ★ Who Dunnit? (Mystery Slab B) | 8m, 5 | ★ Good | |||
an excellent bouldering start makes this worth doing.
|
||||||
16 | ★ Why Am I Here? (Mystery Slab D) | 10m, 5 | ★ Good | |||
A nice slab to start with and then its all easy after that
|
||||||
14 12 | ★ Mystery Slab Route (Mystery Slab E) | 12m, 5 | ★ Good | |||
First time on the sharp end in about 4mths (oh the shame). A surprising route with slab, a bulging section and then a smooth finish. Retreving the draws is a tricky one - Who put the ring bolts so far back?
|
||||||
Thu 27th Mar 2014 - East Killara | ||||||
The Promised Land Top Tier King Davids Overhang | ||||||
V1 | Out Of The Donkeys Arse | 4m | Average | |||
Needs some cleaning. Other wise its a good warm up with a topout much like the rest of the cliff - smooth
|
||||||
Sun 23rd Mar 2014 - East Killara | ||||||
The Promised Land Middle Tier Adam And Eves Boys The Cain Boulder | ||||||
V2 | ★ I Can't Believe It's Not Climbing | 5m | ★ Good | |||
A burly sit start with some lovely moves up to a thought provoking topout - It goes from decent holds to rounded grit. Needs some traffic
|
||||||
V2 | ★ Is This Bouldering? | 5m | ★★ Very Good | |||
A bit more enjoyable that the problem to the left. Great sit start to some more challenging holds. Another interesting topout
|
||||||
V2 | ★ Now We're Bouldering | 6m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Best of the three. A Great low traverse then up to the rounded topout. A Fun problem!
|
||||||
V1 | The Dirty End Of Cains Lane | 3m | Average | |||
A decent problem, but nothing stood out substantially for me
|
||||||
Sun 23rd Mar 2014 - East Killara | ||||||
The Promised Land Middle Tier The Raising Of The Highball | ||||||
V2 | ★ Holy Highball Batman! | 5m | ★ Good | |||
A nice problem through the middle, but I agree with Matt - it feels more like a V1. Once the rock gets a bit of traffic and the top is cleaned out some more it'll be quite a good problem
|
||||||
V2 | ★ Between The Pages | 5m | ★★ Very Good | |||
A fun V2 that favors those with long limbs. The side pull at the crux had me thinking. Needs traffic and the top cleaned
|
||||||
Wed 26th Feb 2014 - The Balkans | ||||||
The Frontline Front and Centre | ||||||
V1 | ★ D? | 4m | ||||

Some kool moves in the middle of this one
