Main Quarry | ||||||
22 | ★ Method Man - with Paul Donovan | 12m, 5 | ★ Good | |||
Dogged the onsight. In spite of the nerve-racking move past the first bolt, and the long run out to the fat carrot, I liked this and would come back to it.
|
||||||
21 | ★★ Blue Sky Mine - with Paul Donovan | 12m, 5 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Another golden Barrington 21. Confusing but rewarding climbing with some great moves, and consistent to the end.

Entrance Quarry | ||||||
21 | ★ Blast-Off - with Paul Donovan | 25m, 7 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Took 3 attempts. Pretty hard, especially making the last clip before the anchors, but great climbing.
|
||||||
18 | ★ One Hundred Questions - with Paul Donovan | 20m, 6 | ★ Good | |||

Entrance Quarry | ||||||
21 | ★★ Grunt-ometer Says Twenty-Three - with Paul Donovan | 20m, 5 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Returned for the send. Great climb. Some say it rivals Real Life Ambition for the quality of the climbing. But perhaps not many.
|
||||||
21 | ★ Dynomite - with Paul Donovan | 25m, 6 | ★ Good | |||
Quite good. Pleasant wandering climb through the lower 2/3, then the crux is at the top. Got shut down for a while, but there's a good recovery ledge to retreat to, and I eventually pulled through with some desperation.
|
||||||
18 | ★ Instinct for Dissent - with Paul Donovan | 30m, 7 | ★ Good | |||
Decent warm up.
|
||||||

Entrance Quarry | ||||||
23 | ★ Tantrum - with Paul Donovan | 25m, 9 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Thought about calling this a retro flash, but I remember the first part a bit too well to justify that. Tried it a couple of years ago when I thought it was Incinerator (which was graded 20 at the time) and fell at the 5th bolt. Seemed much more straightforward today. Nice route, well bolted. Another good morning at Barrington.
|
||||||
21 | ★★ Grunt-ometer Says Twenty-Three - with Paul Donovan | 20m, 5 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Dogged the onsight attempt by falling at one of the very few places I didn't think I was going to. Excellent, pumpy, gym style climbing with an especially insecure finish. I'll be back for the tick, and because it's fun.
|
||||||
19 | ★ Seconds from Disaster - with Paul Donovan | 25m, 7 | ★ Good | |||
Very good warm up. Easy start, balancy crux.
|

Entrance Quarry | ||||||
21 | ★★ Incinerator - with Paul Donovan | 25m, 8 | ★★ Very Good | |||
I thought I'd been on this before, but it was the 23 to the left that I tried and fell off a while ago. This is a great, long route with a few tricky sections, mostly preceded by good rests. This wall is much better than I had thought.
|
||||||
22 | ★★ Burn! - with Paul Donovan | 22m, 7 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Fell once on the onsight attempt, finished clean. Got it next time, though with an unscheduled interruption when a foothold broke off at the start. This is a terrific climb with a very technical bottom section that gets juggy and friendly higher up. Highly recommended.
|
||||||
20 | ★ Barry the Barefoot Bandit - with Paul Donovan | 20m, 6 | ★ Good | |||
Balancy, enjoyable climbing. Worth a look.
|
||||||
17 | ★ Skin Tight - with Paul Donovan | 15m, 5 | ★ Good | |||
Good warm up, gets you thinking.
|
||||||

Entrance Quarry | ||||||
20 | ★ Force Projection - with Paul Donovan | 12m, 4 | Average | |||
Was going to do it properly, but we decided to bail so I just toproped it. Not particularly memorable.
|
||||||
19 | ★ Poo HQ - with Paul Donovan | 15m, 5 | ★ Good | |||
Tried this one a few times before, now I don't have to do it again. It's ok, but it is not a 2 star climb.

Entrance Quarry | ||||||
19 | ★ Poo HQ - with Ashley Felton, Rebecca Trigger | 15m, 5 | ★ Good | |||
Takes a bit of working out. Worth another shot next time.
|
||||||
19 | Drilled into Submission - with Ashley Felton | 10m, 30 | Don't Bother | |||
Short, unremarkable, no loweroffs. Not a lot to recommend it, really.
|
||||||
22 | ★ Richard Caranium - with Ashley Felton | 13m, 4 | ★ Good | |||
Quite good. Tough at the bottom, with some tricky weight transitions and long reaches on slopers. Worth coming back to.
|
||||||
19 | ★★ Ghost Pillar - with Ashley Felton | 15m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Was looking forward to seconding this, but pulled the wrong end of the rope through the anchors of Richard Caranium and ended up having to lead it on pre-placed gear. Fortunately everything looked good.

Dusting off the trad gear.

Entrance Quarry | ||||||
19 | ★ The Carrot and the Bard - with Joe Hewitt | 11m, 3 | ★ Good | |||
Fell at the first bolt on the onsight attempt. Got up ok next try. Decent slab route. The crux is at the bottom.
|
||||||
17 18 | ★ One Hundred Questions - with Joe Hewitt | 20m, 6 | ★ Good | |||
Sat 22nd Nov 2014 - Barrington (Gosnells) Quarry | ||||||
Entrance Quarry | ||||||
17 18 | ★ One Hundred Questions - with Mike | 20m, 6 | ★ Good | |||
It's like Short Circuit at Statham's, but better.
|
||||||
18 | ★ Mind & Sex De-Addiction Centre - with Mike | 12m, 4 | ★ Good | |||
Requires some thought and commitment. Interesting climbing, but loses some points for the gravel and clay topout.
|
||||||
15 | Glue Sick - with Mike | 12m, 3 | Crap | |||
Godawful

Fri 15th Aug 2014 - Barrington (Gosnells) Quarry | ||||||
Main Quarry | ||||||
16 | Toddler's Delight | 10m, 2 | ★ Good | |||
Surprisingly technical for the grade, or maybe I was just doing it wrong. Short.
|
||||||
18 | ★★ Wired Up Crack | 12m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Excellent protection, good footwork makes life easier.
|
||||||
Fri 15th Aug 2014 - Barrington (Gosnells) Quarry | ||||||
Entrance Quarry | ||||||
19 | ★★ Ghost Pillar | 15m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Nice climbing, well protected with small and medium gear. I'd give it a star. The topout is barely worth it, might as well finish at the loweroffs of Richard Caranium.
|
||||||
16 | Tools of the Trade | 13m | Don't Bother | |||
Virtually worthless.
|
||||||
Thu 3rd Oct 2013 - Barrington (Gosnells) Quarry | ||||||
Main Quarry | ||||||
16 | ★ Krakaddiction | 30m | ★ Good | |||
easy to protect. Excellent trad practice.
