	16	★★★ Watchtower Crack (The Watchtower Crack)	Mixed trad 95m, 3	Arapiles	★★★ Mega Classic	Wed 19th Sep 2007
Absolutely brilliant! Climbed in 2 pitches (belay at niche), led second pitch, all on twin 60m ropes. Would have been a rope-stretcher on 50's for the second pitch. Beautiful day, good company.

One move wonder, but quite nice.
	18	★★★ Sacred Site	Mixed trad 30m, 2	Fortescue Bay	★★★ Classic	Wed 5th Jan 2011
I love sea stacks! Perfect weather for this one.
	18	★★★ Eurydice - with Mike Barnes	Mixed trad 65m, 2	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Sun 27th Jan 2013
Mike let me lead both pitches - I had a ball, even with the couple of guanoey ledges...
	20	★★★ Blimp - with Liz Milner	Mixed trad 25m, 1	Bundaleer Area	★★★ Mega Classic	Sat 9th Feb 2013
Really nice, and multiple cruxes.

	19	★★★ Richard's Route Direct - with Rob Carlin	Mixed trad 18m, 1	The Bluff	★★★ Classic	Sat 4th Jul 2020
	20 20 R	★ The Crunge	Trad 14m	Morialta	★ Good	Fri 11th Feb 2011
Surprisingly nice! Good gear, too, although my last piece was one wire just above the Illequipt branch.
	11	★ Sexy Love Slot	Trad 8m	Mitcham Quarries	Average	Sun 13th Feb 2011
Hard for an 11! Interesting moves on onto the slab.
	15	★★★ Flying Buttress	Trad 110m	Moonarie	★★★ Classic	Mon 25th Apr 2011
The roof crack was out there.... a real Moon 15. Seconded by Lynne.
	12	★ Medroom Beserker - with Liz Milner	Trad 13m	Raetjen's Gap	Average	Sat 20th Oct 2012
Agreed - hard for the grade.

	18 17	★★ Victorian's Crack - with Mike Garret	Trad 18m	Red Rock	★★★ Classic	Sat 8th Jun 2013
Superb jamming sequence, though the difficulties are short.
	17	★★ Dos Cabras Negras - with Jack Mattinson	Trad 18m	Rawnsley Bluff	★ Good	Sat 18th May 2013
Nice route for the grade. Fantastic pro. A two goat audience at the top.
	15	★ Te Deum - with Adam Clay	Trad 18m	Rawnsley Bluff	★ Good	Sat 18th May 2013
Reminded me of TDM in the Wolgans a very small bit.
	19	★★ Garth Vader - with Lyron Winderbaum	Trad 20m	Rawnsley Bluff	★★★ Classic	Sun 5th Apr 2015
With a name like that, how could it not be a classic?
	15 14	★★ Scrubs Up Well - with Lyron Winderbaum	Trad 15m	Rawnsley Bluff	★★ Very Good	Sun 5th Apr 2015
Short, but really nice, with some mandatory jambing. We thought this was a new route until we looked at the guide after the climb.
	17	★★ Eerie Eyrie - with Lyron Winderbaum	Trad 20m	Rawnsley Bluff	★★ Very Good	Sat 4th Apr 2015
FFA!
	21	★★★ Comic Relief - with Lorien Martin	Trad 20m	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Mon 8th Jun 2015
Superb!
	15	★ Extrusion - with Jack Mattinson	Trad 25m	Rawnsley Bluff		Tue 3rd Nov 2015
Interesting - easier than i expected.

	14 14 R	★★ Pleasure Dome - with Rob Carlin	Trad 5m	The Bluff	★★ Very Good	Sat 4th Jul 2020
	17	★ Koala Kapers - with James Sunjaya	Trad 12m	Cleland	★ Good	Sat 31st Oct 2020
A touch wet!
	17	★ Lock Up Your Furry Animals - with James Sunjaya	Trad 10m	Cleland	★ Good	Sat 31st Oct 2020
Quite nice - lovely aspect.
	21	★★ Lofty Odours	Trad 33m	Summerday Valley	★★★ Classic	Tue 25th Sep 2007
Hard seam initially, very thin. I used double ropes and did it in one pitch; almost dropped off through pump getting to arete! Would have been an exciting swing...
	13	★★★ Muldoon	Trad 42m	Arapiles	★★★ Mega Classic	Mon 17th Sep 2007
Beautiful climbing. Led all pitches.
	15	★ Deacons Dilemma	Trad 16m	Arapiles	★ Good	Thu 13th Sep 2007
A nice lead, but only short difficulties.
	20	★★★ Little Thor	Trad 12m	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Thu 20th Sep 2007
I noticed in the Shepherd guide that there was a peg protecting the crux move; this is no longer there, and made the crux move a lot more exciting, in my opinion!
	14	★★ D Minor	Trad 35m	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Tue 18th Sep 2007
Not bad. Not as good as the hype, I think.
	12	★★★ Bard	Trad 120m	Arapiles	★★★ Mega Classic	Fri 7th Sep 2007
Led every pitch. The traverse was fun, especially with a pack!
	6	★★ Exodus	Trad 36m	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Thu 13th Sep 2007
Easy, but nice, especially if you finish direct.
	10	★★ Serpent	Trad 43m	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Thu 13th Sep 2007
Nice climbing; nice exposure.
	18	★ Prelate	Trad 14m	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Thu 13th Sep 2007
Nothing like a bit of commitment. The only reason I tried it was because it looked like you sling the peanut. Alas it was not to be, and desperate clinging to the hole eventually got me up.
	20	★★ Hard to Starboard	Trad 25m	Waitpinga	★★ Very Good	Wed 26th Jan 2011
The climb still seems to be cleaning up. I broke off at least 3 holds (although none of them were key). Nice though.
	10	★★★ Syrinx	Trad 170m	Arapiles	★ Good	Sat 5th Feb 2011
Led all pitches with Liz in tow. nice views; it started raining right when we were under the large overhang, then stopped as we emerged at the top. Perfect!
	19	★ Rosy Shy	Trad 35m	Arapiles	★ Good	Sat 5th Feb 2011
Went slightly left at top for pro - nice pitch! Seconded bu Dikko.
	16	★ Labouring the Point	Trad 90m	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Sun 6th Feb 2011
Nice climb, I especially liked the step across half way.
	20	★ Cranky Babies	Trad 12m	Arapiles	Average	Sun 6th Feb 2011
One hardi(ish) move, and you're there!
	11	★★ Trapeze	Trad 20m	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Sat 12th Mar 2011
Interesting, although I often think this should have been called Swinging!
	18 17	★★ Preludes	Trad 35m	Arapiles	★ Good	Sat 12th Mar 2011
You have to like jamming for the crux down low. Harder than it looks!
	20 19	★★ The Desired	Trad 60m	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Sun 13th Mar 2011
Really hard move in the first 3 metres - close to losing it.
	13	★ Sexless Sue	Trad 20m	Arapiles	★ Good	Sun 13th Mar 2011
Challenge: only use hexes for protection! Dominated (with a wee ground-fall risk).
	20	★★ Sweeping Statement Pitch 1	Trad 20m	Moonarie	★ Good	Mon 5th Apr 2010
I found this tough, but fun.
	14	★ Corkscrew Retribution	Trad 35m	Moonarie	★ Good	Sat 23rd Apr 2011
Led straight through. The last mantle was tricky and hard to protect...
	19	★★ The Prince	Trad 33m	Moonarie	★★ Very Good	Sat 23rd Apr 2011
Nice! Quality first pitch. Seconded by Lynne.
	16	★ Hunky Dory	Trad 35m	Moonarie	★ Good	Sat 23rd Apr 2011
The crux move is very height dependent. I found it quite hard, maybe 19?
	16	★★★ Outside Chance	Trad 50m	Moonarie	★ Good	Sun 24th Apr 2011
Nice exposure, second pitch a bit average. Liz & Johno followed.
	19	★★★ Downwind of Angels	Trad 40m	Moonarie	★★★ Mega Classic	Sun 24th Apr 2011
Fantastic! Quality all the way. Sustained & consistent.
	19	★★★ Pine Crack	Trad 65m	Moonarie	★★★ Mega Classic	Mon 25th Apr 2011
Beautiful climb, up there with the best I have done. Hard moves off the ground though!
	15	★★ Angie	Trad 35m	The Rock	★★★ Classic	Sun 28th Aug 2011
	20	★★★ TDM	Trad 35m	Wolgan Valley	★★★ Mega Classic	Wed 15th Feb 2012
Fingerlockin' good!
	19	★★★ Billy the Kid	Trad 10m	Moonarie	★★★ Classic	Sun 8th Apr 2012
A sting in the head and tail!
	14	★ Incommunicado	Trad 14m	Moonarie	★ Good	Thu 26th Apr 2012
Quite nice - good rock.
	15	★★★ Hangover Layback	Trad 90m	Moonarie	★★★ Classic	Sat 28th Apr 2012
Led all three pitches. Had two followers - tricky organising the double ropes! Every pitch superb.Watch the loose rock 3m below the top of the second pitch, on the lip of the scoop.
	17	★★ Rush	Trad 60m	Moonarie	★ Good	Sun 8th Apr 2012
Andrew Moser led 1 & 3, I led 2. A nutty problem getting out of the niche - nice climb!
	HS HS 4b	★★ Valerie's Rib	Trad 65m	Tremadog Area	★★ Very Good	Fri 13th Apr 2001
Only did pitches 1 & 2 of 3.
	VD VD 4b	★ Morpheus	Trad	Avon Gorge	Average	Mon 16th Apr 2001
	16	★ Completely Straight - with adam clay	Trad 12m	Moonarie	★ Good	Sat 15th Sep 2012
Nice! Pity the jamming higher up didn't last longer.
	20	★★ Billy Bunter - with Adam Clay	Trad 18m	Moonarie	★★★ Classic	Sat 15th Sep 2012
Really nice moves, and lovely line.
	10 9	★★ Beau Geste - with Liz Milner	Trad 140m	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Sat 26th Jan 2013
Led all 5 pitches. Scenic!
	15	★★ Toccata - with Mile Barnes, Sarah Wallwork 1 15 lead by Garth Wimbush 2 14 lead by Garth Wimbush	Trad 50m	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Sat 26th Jan 2013
Beautiful! Especially done as one 50m pitch.
	10	★★★ Eskimo Nell - with Liz Milner	Trad 130m	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Sun 27th Jan 2013
Linked 2&3 and 4&5. The 2nd pitch was a standout favourite.
	5	★★★ Tiptoe Ridge - with Liz Milner	Trad 120m	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Mon 28th Jan 2013
Nice - fun outing.
	21	★★★ Pathos - with Liz Milner	Trad 28m	Bundaleer Area	★★★ Classic	Sat 9th Feb 2013
You think you've done the hard move, but you haven't quite finished!
	17	★ Arch Dig - with Mike Hillan	Trad 12m	Mt Horrible	★ Good	Sun 30th Dec 2012
	19	★★ Wildman - with Mike hillan	Trad 15m	Mt Horrible	★★ Very Good	Mon 31st Dec 2012

	17	★★ The Crack - with Mike Hillan	Trad 15m	Hospital Flat	★★ Very Good	Thu 10th Jan 2013
The classic line up the centre - superb!
	18	Nipular Ecstasy - with Adam Clay	Trad 18m	Montacute	Average	Sun 14th Apr 2013
The sonorous hanging block made things interesting.
	12	★ E.R.C. - with Mike Garret, Liz Milner	Trad 18m	Red Rock		Sun 9th Jun 2013
Bush-bash topout. Worthwhile climbing though.
	21 21 R	★★★ Auto Da Fe - with Mike Hillan	Trad 90m	Arapiles	★★★ Mega Classic	Fri 3rd Oct 2014
Beautiful, and not really runout. The Rockover above skink was exhilarating. Mike kindly let me lead both pitches.
	21	★★ Ethereal - with Mike Hillan	Trad 20m	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Sat 4th Oct 2014
Quite sustained, but the gear is very good, and the moves nice.
	18	★ Four Sticks - with Mike Hillan	Trad 20m	Arapiles	★ Good	Sat 4th Oct 2014
Fun cranking, just like the book says.
	17	★ Revelations - with Mike Hillan 1 15 lead by Mike Hillan 2 17 lead by Garth Wimbush	Trad 48m	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Sun 5th Oct 2014

Led both pitches. The only climbable rock we could find in the rain!
	18	★★ I'm A Little Dinosaur - with Adam Clay	Trad 25m	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Sat 6th Jun 2015
Nice, though not as nice as Asteroid.
	18	★★ Gilt Edged - with Rebekah Richardson	Trad 40m	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Sun 7th Jun 2015
Hard for the grade, but really good. Linked both pitches.
	18	★★ Morgul Khan - with Lorien Martin	Trad 40m	Arapiles	★ Good	Tue 9th Jun 2015
Quite enjoyed this one.
	19	★★ Sideshow - with Lorien Martin	Trad 35m	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Mon 8th Jun 2015
The difficulties are short, but a lovely climb nonetheless.
	20	★★ Werewolf - with Fred Dyer	Trad 24m	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Mon 8th Jun 2015
This is not 19 - the jamb in the crack was not good enough to be 19.
	18	★★ Salem	Trad 40m	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Thu 11th Jun 2015
	17	★★★ Heretic - with Rachel Katterl 1 16 lead by garth 2 17 lead by garth 3 17 lead by garth 4 17 lead by garth 5 17 lead by garth	Trad 120m	Mt Rosea	★★★ Classic	Sat 13th Feb 2016

The climb was worth doing for the pinnacle belay alone.
	20	★ Syllogism - with Rebekah Richardson	Trad 13m	Raetjen's Gap	Average	Mon 25th Apr 2016
	18 17	★ Lead Break - with Rebekah Richardson	Trad 17m	Raetjen's Gap	★ Good	Mon 25th Apr 2016
