14 | ★★ S.S.C.C.1 - with Paul | 25m | Blue Mountains | ★ Good | Sun 14th Apr 2013 | |||
Good climb, I found it quite reachy at the start being short. Looked at the 22 which I may give a go next time.
|
||||||||
14 | ★★ The Phantom - with Paul | 31m | Blue Mountains | ★★★ Classic | Sun 14th Apr 2013 | |||
Great climb with a fun traverse to make things interesting.
|
||||||||
14 | ★ Jack and the Beanstalk - with Elly | 8m | The Cathedral | ★★★ Classic | Sat 4th May 2013 | |||
Very interesting climb up the tree, it gets a bit wobbly at the top
|
||||||||
14 | ★★ Electronic Flag - with Heather | 40m | Frog Buttress | ★★ Very Good | Fri 7th Jun 2013 | |||
Climbed this due to my partner backing off. I don't blame her as it felt a bit stiff but still a fun climb especially pulling over the chokestones,
|
||||||||
14 | Russell's Wander - with Elly | 25m | Blue Mountains | ★ Good | Sun 21st Jul 2013 | |||

|
||||||||
14 | ★★ Mañana - with Marc | 22m, 8 | Blue Mountains | ★★★ Classic | Sun 1st Sep 2013 | |||
Very good warm up climb. Would be perfect for beginners. The karabiner at the top is in a shocking state, almost half worn through!
|
||||||||
13 14 | ★ Ole Biscuit Barrel - with Marc | 15m, 5 | Blue Mountains | ★ Good | Sun 1st Sep 2013 | |||
Ok climb, probably a bit harder than 14.
|
||||||||
14 | The Mantle Machine | 12m, 2 | Berowra | Sat 7th Sep 2013 | ||||
This route lives up to its name. I forgot to take a cam for the middle which made it a bit scary. The top mantle was a real stretch for me. I could only just get the tops of my fingers over the top at full stretch plus some.
|
||||||||
14 | ★ Fucary Rug - with Stuart | 15m, 5 | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Sun 22nd Sep 2013 | |||

|
||||||||
14 | ★★ The Obituary - with Paul | 30m | Blue Mountains | ★★★ Classic | Sun 18th May 2014 | |||
Great crack climb, fun all the way to the top.

|
||||||||
14 | ★★ Darkside - with Andrew Stevenson | 110m, 10 | Blue Mountains | ★★★ Classic | Sun 8th Feb 2015 | |||
Awesome first pitch, I haven't climbed many better chimneys. It is a shame the the following pitches aren't that great however I would do it just for the first pitch.
|
||||||||
14 | ★ Kenneth's Climb - with Andrew Stevenson | 10m | Berowra | ★★ Very Good | Sun 5th Jul 2015 | |||

|
||||||||
14 14 R | ★ Elf Town - with Ben | 20m | Barrenjoey | ★★ Very Good | Sat 17th Jun 2017 | |||
I was surprised how good this was. After the high first bolt it was a bit run out with only a suspect cam behind a flake but it climbed really well and the last couple of moves were interesting.
|
||||||||
14 | ★ Bolt Ladder - with Andrew Stevenson | 8m, 6 | Wahroonga Rocks | ★ Good | Sat 8th Jul 2017 | |||
6 Bolts in 8m of climbing wow. Not a bad climb although some of the bolts are a bit dodgy.

|
||||||||

Nice beginner route.
|
||||||||
14 | ★ Back to Back - with Becky | 13m | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Sat 2nd Nov 2019 | |||

|
||||||||
13 | ★ The Baptism - with Elly | 30m | Arapiles | ★ Good | Tue 18th Apr 2017 | |||
Fun route, the crack section at the start of the second pitch is hard. I would easily give this a couple of grades more.
|
||||||||
13 | ★★★ Muldoon - with Elly | 42m | Arapiles | ★★★ Mega Classic | Tue 18th Apr 2017 | |||
Such a classic route for the grade, one of my favourites at Arapiles.

13 | ★★ Dunes Direct - with Elly | 100m | Arapiles | ★★ Very Good | Sat 22nd Apr 2017 | |||
Some really interesting climbing in this nversion of Dunes. The first pitch just before the belay is absorbing and the the corner in the last pitch is fun.

|
||||||||
13 | ★ Sincerity | 14m, 4 | Blue Mountains | ★ Good | Sat 7th Apr 2018 | |||
The top move was the hardest.
|
||||||||

||||||||
13 | ★ Parents in Pain Variant (Parents in Pain Pussy Variant) - with Paul Griffiths | 20m | Mount Alexandra | ★★ Very Good | Wed 25th Apr 2018 | |||

|
||||||||
13 | ★ Faaip De Oiad | 12m, 4 | Mt Ku-ring-gai | ★ Good | Sat 9th Mar 2019 | |||
Hard first move for a 13, especially if you are short and can't reach the good holds. Did this barefoot as I forgot to bring my shoes over.

Nice easy beginner route.

13 | ★ Bonnie Scotland - with Paul Griffiths | 53m | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Sat 29th Jun 2019 | |||
This is a nice climb, the gear can be hard to find in places but it is all there. Probably not a good climb for a beginner at trad.
|
||||||||
12 | ★★ The Eyrie - with Andrew | 45m, 3 | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Sat 11th Jan 2014 | |||
Great route with a nice belay in the cave. Best bit is the start of the second pitch out of the cave
|
||||||||
12 | ★★ Watchtower Chimney - with Sarah | 110m, 1 | Arapiles | ★★★ Classic | Thu 24th Apr 2014 | |||

12 | ★ Bygone - with Elly | 30m, 1 | Arapiles | ★★ Very Good | Sat 22nd Apr 2017 | |||

|
||||||||
12 | ★★ Panzer - with Amanda, Jack | 95m | Arapiles | ★★★ Classic | Mon 17th Apr 2017 | |||
This climb had 3 very varied pitches

No hands ascent because it looked fun.
