Sun 21st Mar 2021 - Castle Rock
East Face
16 Minty Freshness - with intan Trad Average
Seemed like not much holds or protection on the face. I ended up hugging the arette all the way up. Didn’t feel like a 16 but maybe it was harder if you stayed on the left.

 
13 Feeling Groovy - with intan Trad 10m
Unprotected crux before the first placement at 5m. I would have Bouldered up to the left and set some gear to protect the start.

 
17 Stepping Up - with intan Sport
Really struggled on this one! Very fingery and balancing moves!

 
12 Corn Flakes - with intan Unknown
Pretty classy, great opportunity to lay back. Bomber pro the whole way. Very chilled

Middle Crags The Organ Pipes
14 Spraying - with intan Trad 15m Very Good
Watch the pro for your second as you traverse around onto the other face. First bit is really nice.

The Z Bend Adventure Wall
15 9-6=3 Trad 20m Very Good
Actually pretty cool, only wet at the bottom. Overhanging towards the top, but good holds and decent pro.

 
Sun 9th Jul 2017 - Kalbarri
The Z Bend Phantom Wall
15 Wombat Amnesia - with steve Trad 30m Very Good
Really good fun and well protected. The first bolt could probably be stick clipped from the belay, but I used a cam to protected the first move up to the bolt and then removed the cam to reduce rope drag. Come back down via the gully to the left of the climb.

 
Sat 8th Jul 2017 - Kalbarri
The Z Bend The Amphitheatre
16 Pissing in the Gene Pool - with steve Trad 82m Very Good
First pitch is actually pretty good with good pro (though I threw down a couple of loose rocks). You can protect the traverse crux by reaching over and setting a #2 camalot. The other pitches were very chilled out but a good intro to multi-pitch trad. Scariest part was setting up the anchor at the top of the scramble traverse.

15 Hmmm... - with steve Trad 16m Don't Bother
Meh, I should have gone right at the flake for brother hood, but I didn;t have a big cam to go behind it.

The Z Bend Tourist Wall
15 Keith Goes Blank - with steve Trad 28m Classic
Great climb. I had a bit of a panic attack before I realised you are supposed traverse left at the top.

19 Critter Country - with intan and michelle Sport 12m
Great moves, pity it's so short. First move is really hard! Had to use the rope.

 
16 Birth Canal - with intan and michelle Trad 15m Classic
Really exciting, any bigger than me and you wouldn't fit! Looks like there are two ways to go, I stayed deep in the crack and went straight up to the anchors (squeeze all the way). Intan and Michelle moved out to the front of the crack where there was more space.

Botched the onsight and wandered onto the climb to the right. Felt hard for a 16.

20 Power Play Trad 25m Mega Classic
6 laps, clean roped solo on laps 4 & 5. Super powerful climb. Really great fun. Don't know if I'll ever have the endurance to lead it though.

Pretty sustained. Very well protected.

17 Usurper - with intan Mixed trad 25m, 2 Classic
Surprisingly good, thoughtful moves all the way to the anchors.

 
17 Adventure Line - with Intan Mixed trad 30m, 5 Don't Bother
I don't think I was on route as there was no 17 moves. I think staying further right would have helped. Also loose rocks just below the anchors.

16 That's Be Right Sport 11m, 2 Average
Cleaning for mike.

 
18 What a Carrot Can Do For You Sport 14m, 4 Good
Messed up the onsight messing around with bolt plates on the second clip. Good climb, pity about the traverse to adjacent rings to finish.

 
20 Force Projection Sport 12m, 4 Classic
Wow, awesome powerful moves. Feels like an indoor climb. Will red point next time. Probably a bit easy for the grade.

 
18 Mind & Sex De-Addiction Centre Sport 12m, 4
Good project, tricky movements. 4th clip might be a bit bold. Look forward to red point.Top out is a bit crappy and tree is not a good belay, I'd probably move left to the force projection rings.

 
Sun 31st May 2015 - Mountain Quarry
Fuzzbucky Wall
18 Equilibrium Sport 20m, 5 Good
A bit wet at the bottom. Much easier if you use the left face, staying right is possible and approximately to grade. Penultimate clip is a little run out (the rest of the climb is very well protected).

Really nice climb.

 
Mon 25th May 2015 - Eaglestone Rocks
17 You Don't Know Jack Sport 18m, 6 Very Good
Technical. Probably the easiest and simplest way to the top of the main boulder.

 
14 Jaundice Trad 8m Good
Suprisingly enjoyable. Probably not worth bringing out the trad rack for though.

 
10 Mini Me Trad 6m Average
Don't bother with gear.

 
17 Wishbone Mixed trad 15m, 5 Classic
Really nice climb. Not as hard as the other 17s at Eaglestone Rock. Good pro at the bottom.

 
Sun 24th May 2015 - Eaglestone Rocks
18 Pink Rings Sport 18m, 5 Good
Technical. Easier than an 18.

 
18 Old School Leaver Sport 19m, 5 Good
Fun

 
17 Bad Seed Sport 11m, 2 Very Good
Short, but surprisingly enjoyable.

16 Slow-mo show Sport 25m, 4 Good
Well protected, very slabby.

 
17 Eagle's Lair Sport 32m, 3 Good
First clip pretty high.

 
16 Sliders Sport 36m, 4 Very Good
First clip high, but felt safe. Nice route.

 
18 Quiver Sport 45m, 4 Classic
Really good climb, cool slabby moves with tiny edges. First bolt runout but safe. You need a .3/.4 cam and a very long runner to place protection under the overlap, but i didn't bother.

 
14 Fuzzy Bear Sport 50m, 8 Good
Lead three times, first time with a backpack, to get people back up to the top. Nice easy climb, distance between bolts is only long over super easy terrain.

 
16 Hanger High - with Matt O Sport 25m, 6 Good
Set up the route for rick

11 Bogey Man - with Mike, Intan Trad 42m Good
Night climb, easy to set up with abseil bolts. Intan was worried about the creatures that live in the chimney.

Southern Ocean Wall First Route Gully
12 Southern Ocean Swell - with Mike Trad 50m Average
Start of first pitch was run-out. Small cams helped. Some nice easy moves in the chimney at the start, after that a bit dull.

 
12 An Easy Day For The Gentlemen (An Easy Day Fot The Gentlemen) - with Mike Trad 40m Very Good
Beautiful rock. Great gear. Gentle moves. What's not to like. Maybe a little harder than 12.

 
Sun 3rd May 2015 - West Cape Howe
Southern Ocean Wall Stooges Wall
14 15 Curly - with Mike Trad 35m Good
Easy, probably 14, not worth two stars in my opinion. Protection is a little marginal for the 10m or so, small gear helps.

Southern Ocean Wall Carousel Wall
12 Dairymilk Dive - with Mike Trad 35m Average
I think I started up Punkin and Hoonin by accident and traversed back on route. I guess Anthrax Ripple and Dairy Milk Dive are very close.

 
13 Anthrax Ripple - with Mike Mixed trad 37m, 2 Good
Best beginner lead at WCH. Good protection, easy and the crux moves are protected by bolts.

14 Lost Arrow Trad 12m Very Good
Seconding mike. A bit soft for a 15, really solid pro. Short.

Good pro, especially at the crux.

Gibraltar Rock
15 Raven - with Mike Sport 220m, 35 Very Good
Very atmospheric, great views and awesome cave. Climbing is easy (crux 13/14? and run outs are no problem because of the easy moves. Mikes first multi-pitch! Scramble descent is much easier than rappelling. We went left (east).

We were back in Mount Barker for lunch. I should have ordered their chicken box but the lady asked me what I wanted before I had a chance to think properly and so I ordered their biggest burger because it was the first thing I saw on the billboard. Disappointing.

Fun, devious start indeed.

 
15 16 Purring Pussies - with Mike Sport 36m, 9 Very Good
Great climb, crystals seem to be emitting some kind of magical adhesive aura.

 
16 Dream Weaver - with Mike Mixed trad 95m, 8 Very Good
Nice sustained route. Easy slabby moves with generous protection. I only used a size 0.2 cam at the start of the second pitch (rather than the #1 &#2 recommended by the mini-guide.
