Downstream climbing areas The Bastille | ||||||
13 | ★★ Youth Beauty Fame - with Michael Moore | 18m, 5 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Super easy fun, the jugs rails would be amazing if they were on a steeper angle. The little chimney finish scrubbed up nicely for something a bit different
|
||||||
16 | ★★ A Dash of Loneliness - with Michael Moore | 20m, 4 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Cruisy and flowly and a delight, just like impunity but more consistent. A #3 works in the first horizontal but a #4 is better
|

Central climbing areas Shooting Star Block | ||||||
V1 | ★ Star crack - with Alec Eastwood, Michael Moore | 3m | ||||
Nice little layback. Used the big foot out right, should eliminate that next time. Might also be a caving squeeze under the whole boulder to check out after cleaning out the dead black berries
|

Cascade boulders The holy land | ||||||
V3 | ★★ A cauldron of covid - with Ash Powell, Ned, Nora, Michael Birtill | 1m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Yet another sick little problem that appeared out of nowhere on rock that I've scoured many times. Lots of core and bicep action, very happy to do it first go
|

Sat 27th Aug 2022 - Upper Gara Gorge | ||||||
Central Boulders Triangle Boulder | ||||||
V1 | ★ The opposite side - with Ash Powell, Danni Powell, Ned, Nora, Michael Birtill | 4m | ||||
This is probably the best route on the boulder and I have a feeling the back of this was vegetated and has been cleaned up in the drought then flood cycle

Cascade boulders Below the bridge | ||||||
V3 | ★ Riverside rejections - with Ben Vincent, carol lee | 2m | ★★ Very Good | |||
It's funny that this was the first thing we imagined on this rock, but then got so obsessed with the traverse we only did this today, and still only as an afterthought. But it is an obvious warmup for the full traverse, and is still a worthy problem in its own right.

South-Western Boulders Powers Lab | ||||||
V2 | ★★★ Powers Witch - with Benji Dutaillis | 2m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Delicious and slightly easier than I was hoping. The top out over the water is no big deal at all
|
||||||
V1 | ★ Inertial force - with Benji Dutaillis | 2m | ★ Good | |||
Juggy trivial but fun. Might be some variants

Downstream climbing areas Bomb Town | ||||||
16 | ★★ Chicken Wing to Bomb Town - with Ben Vincent, Benji Dutaillis | 12m | ★★ Very Good | |||
We'd eye this off while bouldering underneath it so didn't have a great sense of scale and thought it would be mostly offwidth and I was keen due to my hand still not being ready for crimping. It ended up climbing quite nicely, it felt like a small segment of a much larger multi pitch
|
||||||
Sun 2nd Aug 2020 - Beulah | ||||||
Western areas Goat Dome Main Wall | ||||||
V0 | ★ No glove, no love - with Ben Vincent, Todd Free | 5m | ★ Good | |||

A great wind down after all the hype of Kachoong. Relaxed arvo climb watching the birds of prey, and the moon rise on dusk and just soaking it up and avoiding thinking that we'll need to go home soon.

Organ Pipes Area Organ Pipes Central Organ Pipes | ||||||
13 | ★★ Horn Piece - with Ben Vincent | 33m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Great little route to access the Tannin ledge. While setting up for Tannin and eating some food my helmet took a small tumble which then escalated and fell all the way to the ground. It didn't seem to noticed.

||||||
Wed 14th Aug 2019 - Arapiles | ||||||
The Pharos and Surrounds The Pharos Back Wall | ||||||
14 | ★★★ Lamplighter - with Ben Vincent | 78m | ★★★ Classic | |||
I'd been slightly off ever since I left home, felt worse this morning and you know it's bad when a grade 10 knocks you around
Second pitch was great though as soon as I got warmed up, and the chimney finish was right up my alley, weird semi-caving stuff |

Another super fun classic. I linked 3 & 4 together. Met a school group at the top. First experience of going down the chains which was a little hair raising. Back at car at 3:30

Atridae Agamemnon Area | ||||||
11 | ★★★ Agamemnon - with Ben Vincent | 40m | ★★★ Mega Classic | |||
I lead this as a single pitch. Super fun. The start was a little weepy, and there was a light drizzle as I topped out. When we rapped off the brand new doubles, we had some pretty kinky tails to unwind.

Thought this would put up more fight! This is easier than half the V2’s at gara, so maybe I have sand bagged gara a little...

V1 | ★★ Jugs | 4m | ★ Good | |||
A warm warm up at lunchtime. No pads still and made a detour into Bowen on the way south just to visit this boulder
