16 | ★ Young Dudes - with Elly | 20m | Blue Mountains | Average | Sun 21st Jul 2013 | |||
I didn't like the gear behind the hollow sounding flake

22 | ★★ Bad Luck Silverback Variant | 14m, 2 | Joll's Bridge | ★★ Very Good | Sat 5th Aug 2017 | |||
My first attempt at top rope soloing. I thought it would be a good one because of the nicly placed bolts at the top but I didn't think that this would actually put me on the variant finish at 22.
Managed to drag myself up and the system that I used seemed to work pretty well and safely although I can think of a few improvements to the system which I will try later. In hindsight I should probably have don Chocolate Coated Parents first before jumping on this. |
||||||||
22 | ★★ Pocket Rocket | 9m, 1 | Wahroonga | ★★ Very Good | Sat 12th Aug 2017 | |||
Hard moves down low and then it gets easier towards the top.

Great thin crack with some real good jam moves higher up.

21 | ★★ Breaking Good - with Jack | 15m | Alfords Point | ★★ Very Good | Sat 1st Jul 2017 | |||
Really enjoyed this route. The cams in the breaks are good and the move from the first break to the second on crimps is pretty tricky. Well worth a climb.

Great new addition to the area, my favourite pitches were 2 and 8 but there was a good amount of climbing throughout.
WARNING: If you are going to climb it any time soon be careful we manage to pull off so pretty large holds. I am sure that this will clear up over time. |
