East of the access track | ||||||
25 | ★★★ Carrion Comfort | 25m | ★★ Very Good | |||
I thought this was good but a little disappointing as if you're tall (and remotely flexible) you can bridge to LLL.
|
||||||
25 | ★★★ Future Tense | 40m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Lovely climbing on the top wall, if you start up BST this feels like 24/5. I did TR the original start, which is quite hard but sadly not that great and has some dodgy rock.

25 | ★★ Hard Nose | 25m | ||||
Mon 4th Jul 2016 - Frog Buttress | ||||||
West of the access track | ||||||
25 | ★★ Stonkers and Steroids - with Paul Hoskins | 30m, 4 | ★ Good | |||
Second or third shot, after which it was promptly downgraded from 26... sigh. Boulder problems between jugs.

25 | ★ Colour Scheme | 25m | ★ Good | |||
Not quite as good as it looks sadly. Still good, but it looks like it's going to be great.

Great Circle Drive North Gravel Pit Tor Area | ||||||
25 26 | ★★ Edging Bets - with estherenita | 20m, 6 | ★★ Very Good | |||
25? Remember something a little scary about this, but also that it was good face climbing and that the finish was a bit exciting - probably mostly because I was pumped. Remember AlRob doing it well.

The Pharos and Surrounds The Pharos Uncle Charlie | ||||||
25 | ★★★ Spasm in a Chasm - with Gordon Poultney | 25m, 3 | ★★★ Classic | |||
Doesn't seem that soft to me. I'd worked the crux but not the finish - when I got through I was too pumped to place the wire, ended up just laying one on for the last hold, which fortunately was a jug. Phew.

Castle Crag | ||||||
25 | ★★ The Undertaker | 18m | ★ Good | |||
Oh so greasy! I find this super hard, the climbing's good but so slick. At least you're unlikely to hurt your fingers...
|

25 | ★★ The Low Down - with Ken | 25m, 2 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Wed 11th Nov 2015 - Arapiles | ||||||
Bluffs Flinders Lane Area | ||||||
25 | ★ Imagination LHF | 10m | ★ Good | |||
I think Chrispy led this by accident - it's a very bold lead, not sure if the gear would keep you off the ground. Impressive!

This one's quite good. Placements is better though.

This route is excellent! Really interesting and hard for.. quite long enough.

Backed off second pitch - I'll try taking a big cam for the pocket. Seemed committing pulling over the bulge.

Second day with a howling wind! I quite like this although it is old-school and wandery.

Tiger Wall Area Tiger Wall Under Flinders Lane Wall | ||||||
25 | ★★ Bienenstich (Bienerstisch) - with Kieran Lawton, Gareth Llewellin | 20m, 2 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Great climbing, technical crux at start. After the bolts I remember small opposed wires, small cam, #3RP, medium cam (red or yellow camalot). Looks like 32!
|
||||||
25 | ★★ Vanya Going Underground | 25m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Really, really good but really, really hard.

Great climbing and great rock once you stop traversing right and left and actually go up.

25 | Temporary Imbalance - with Paul Hoskins | 20m | Don't Bother | |||
Too short.

I've never really liked the bottom half, but the top is good if you go direct.

Toproped as, like all of Gordy's bolts it seems, they are non stainless and already rusted to crap.

Atridae The Flight Deck | ||||||
25 | ★★★ Have A Good Flight - with Paul Hoskins | 18m, 5 | ★★★ Classic | |||
Great sustained climbing, a little sharp but stays dry unless rain has been heavy. A good one to fall off as it's a good clean fall. Second shot.

Mon 29th Sep 2014 - Arapiles | ||||||
Pilot Error Cliffs Lois Lane Wall | ||||||
25 | ★★★ Debutantes and Centipedes | 15m, 3 | ★★ Very Good | |||
I really like the top half, but not the bottom, and the crux is tweaky. Julian Saunders says he's had more business from the pocket on this route than any other hold in Australia. Beware.
