Old Baldy Lower Cliff
19 Ghoul Trad 60m Mega Classic
Amazing route! As good as Sizzler! One sustained 60m pitch of sick, steep handcrack to the top of lower baldy. Face splitter. Sensational. One of the best routes on Lower Baldy. Tree belay then easy scramble up to upper baldy.

Old Baldy Lower Cliff
16 Room to Move - with Alastair McDowell Trad 65m Very Good
Nice long trad climb to access Scimitar. Bit of a doozy getting up the first swing-up first thing sunday morning while hungover...

 
Mon 2nd Nov 2015 - Wolgan Valley
Old Baldy Upper Cliff
18 Scimitar - with Eamon Colley Trad 91m Mega Classic
Best route I've done in NSW so far. Awesome climbing the whole way, linked it up with Room to Move (16) on the lower tier and some 'bush-rock' climbing' up to the base of Scimitar. Great views and excellent climbing.
