V2 Necrosis Boulder 4m Good
Crux is waiting for you right at the end. No giveaway.

Nothing to write home about. Was a touch damp... maybe it's nicer when it's fully dry.

Sat 24th Apr 2021 - Blue Mountains
Mount Victoria Area Bardens Lookout Jean Genie Area
24 Cave Route Sport 10m, 4
Crux just before first bolt then big moves on good holds for two bolts. No "jumping" required for me. Goosebumps is the better option I reckon.

4 14 25m lead by barnacle
Sport 130m Good
Really enjoyed the first pitch with a good variety of climbing. Second pitch probably had the hardest moves but not sustained and shorter then the first pitch. Third pitch was the easiest, could knock a couple grades off and I don't think anyone would question it. Final pitch no giveaway at 14. I'd say 'trad 14'.

 
Sat 3rd Apr 2021 - Blue Mountains
Mount Victoria Area Bardens Lookout Little Triggers Wall
18 Jolly Good Fellow Sport 25m, 9 Good
Repeat warm up. Balancy move towards the top.

Mount Victoria Area Bardens Lookout Jean Genie Area
24 Goosebumps Sport 10m, 4 Good
Good value in it's short length. Done statically, no dynos necessary. 2nd shot after making first attempt harder then it needed to be.

Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd The Dam Cliffs Steep Wall
18 Stormin Norman Sport 12m, 4 Very Good
Did crux direct for added value instead of veering out left to ironstone. Pleasant climbing and squishy for beginner leaders.

17 I Only Eat Plankton Sport 15m, 6
14 Ole Biscuit Barrel Sport 15m, 5
I didn't mind this. I see why it gets 14 and also see why people think it's a sandbag. Obviously 2nd to clean.

 
20 Strange Karma Sport 15m Good
Still seems like a softy, especially when compared to the routes around it.

Mount Victoria Area Bardens Lookout Jean Genie Area
26 Turkey Slap Sport 7m, 5 Good
First of the grade. Making use of all my bouldering of late. I'd accept solid V4 as the grade for the first two bolts (then eases off into V0 for the rest).

19 Mike and Lorna go to Town Sport 25m, 6 Good

Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd Bell Supercrag Arrivals (Lower)
22 Train Travel Sport 16m Good
Actually quite fun. Plenty of jugs. A bit wondery at the start but doesn't detract.

Be very cautious of the big choss block just past the last bolt to the left held up by the most unlikely looking handle/table leg thing with a crack right through the middle (in fact avoid it, climbing right of it is just as easy).

 
19 Belayer's Root Sport 14m

Good to run up this again after 3 years. This time leading the pitches I previously seconded.

Got caught behind a guided ascent which added a few hours (namely waiting for our turn to start up each pitch).
