a nice little adventure. no real standout sections but a fun enough warmup and a great view to top belay from!
	21	★★ Uncertainty Principle (Uncertanty Principle)	Sport 45m, 13	★★ Very Good
i found the lower overhang to be alot of fun and a good little challenge. a few foot slips, just to keep the nerves on edge and climb a little more cautiously/deliberate. 2nd overhand was a bit harder than expected but had a great sense of exposure. I was pretty stoked once i pulled through it.

Mon 1st Apr 2013 - Coffs Harbour
Glenreagh Fun Parlour
	19	★★ Steamy Windows	Sport 8m, 3	★★ Very Good
nice crimps, sweet fingerlock, a jug just when u want it, vertical. great!! though hitting the block below, if taking a fall between 2nd and 3rd bolt may not tickle!
	17	★ Funnel Web	Sport 10m, 4	Don't Bother
for one of the few grade 17 sport climbs at the crag, it should really have another bolt added, and maybe a way to get down also as rap/belay tree above is dead/fallen. Has a nasty 8-10m ground fall potential (and will probably end up falling a further 5m or so down the hill below your friendly belayer if you do come off) a dangerous climb if that is your leading limit
	18	★★ Room With A View	Sport 8m, 4	★★★ Mega Classic
one of the coolest/more intimidating 18's i have done!. nice and steep, big sandstone flakes!! a shame its not 3 or 4m longer!
	17	★ Shady Retreat	Sport 8m, 3
a nice little route. some cool moves and nicely shaped holds.
	18	★ Quasimodo	Sport 8m, 3	★★ Very Good
	20	★★ You Can't Touch This	Sport 8m, 2	★★★ Classic
really just a 2 or 3 move route, but those 3 were pretty sweet! would have maybe liked another bolt down low before the roof just for some added safety.

2nd pitch to chip off the old block. nice exposed climbing on mostly good holds. exciting steep section which certainly got the heart racing having about 50m of air below you! a good first multipitch for the trip! happy the end wasnt much harder as i was a bit sketched out after having to climb past a snake which was hanging out on one of the ledges 3/4 the way up!
