Sun 10th Sep 2023 - Upper Gara Gorge
Downstream climbing areas The Bastille
13 Youth Beauty Fame - with Michael Moore Sport 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 Mixed trad 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

 
Sun 21st May 2023 - Upper Gara Gorge
Powers creek junction The Runway Wall
18 Pushback - with Ben Vincent, Todd Free, Mark, Alex Sport 10m, 3 Very Good

Fri 17th Mar 2023 - Upper Gara Gorge
Central climbing areas Shooting Star Block
V1 Star crack - with Alec Eastwood, Michael Moore Boulder 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

 
V0 Easy slab - with Alec Eastwood, Michael Moore Boulder 3m
Fri 3rd Feb 2023 - Ebor Gorge
Pub Buttress
17 Stonka Truck - with Simon Porter Trad 15m Classic

Sat 27th Aug 2022 - Upper Gara Gorge
Cascade boulders The holy land
V3 A cauldron of covid - with Ash Powell, Ned, Nora, Michael Birtill Boulder 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 Boulder 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

 
Fri 15th Apr 2022 - Upper Gara Gorge
Central Boulders Hierarchy of Kneeds Boulder
V1 Physiological kneeds - with carol lee, Simon Porter, Ash, Danni Powell Boulder 3m Very Good
Nice

Cascade boulders Evan Stone area
V2 The jug tunnel - with Ben Vincent, Benji Dutaillis Boulder 3m
V3 Chicken Cacciatore - with Ben Vincent, Benji Dutaillis Boulder 1m Very Good
Pure finger licking good chicken wings. Left side in, tried right side with no luck

 
Sat 25th Sep 2021 - Upper Gara Gorge
Cascade boulders Below the bridge
V3 Riverside rejections - with Ben Vincent, carol lee Boulder 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.

 
Sun 27th Jun 2021 - Upper Gara Gorge
South-Western Boulders Powers Lab
V2 Powers Witch - with Benji Dutaillis Boulder 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 Boulder 2m Good
Juggy trivial but fun. Might be some variants

 
Thu 31st Dec 2020 - Upper Gara Gorge
North rim boulders Perfect cleavage area
V2 Diamond in the rough - with Ben Vincent, Benji Dutaillis Boulder 3m Good
Fri 25th Sep 2020 - Upper Gara Gorge
Downstream climbing areas Bomb Town
16 Chicken Wing to Bomb Town - with Ben Vincent, Benji Dutaillis Trad 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 Boulder 5m Good
Did with no gloves. Was good but I should have worn them, a few teethy bits

 
Sun 1st Sep 2019 - Upper Gara Gorge
Big boulder bend Jawa sandcrawler
V1 High traverse into Rage - with Ben Vincent Boulder 4m Classic
Decide we couldn't leave this total gem undone. Will make a great lower grade classic with just a taste of highball exposure.

 
Sat 31st Aug 2019 - Upper Gara Gorge
Cascade boulders Scultpure garden
V0 Mesosphere - with Andrew Woolley, Sarita, Natalie Boulder 2m Good
Fri 16th Aug 2019 - Arapiles

3 15 23m lead by Ben Vincent

Trad 96m Classic
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.

 
Thu 15th Aug 2019 - Arapiles
Organ Pipes Area Organ Pipes Central Organ Pipes
13 Horn Piece - with Ben Vincent Trad 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
1 10 30m lead by Brendan Heywood
2 14 30m lead by Ben Vincent
3 13 18m lead by Brendan Heywood
Trad 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

 
Tue 13th Aug 2019 - Arapiles
Bard Buttress
12 Bard - with Ben Vincent
1 12 43m lead by Brendan Heywood
2 12 12m lead by Ben Vincent
3 12 35m lead by Brendan Heywood
4 12 30m lead by Ben Vincent
Trad 120m Mega Classic
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

Mon 12th Aug 2019 - Arapiles
Atridae Agamemnon Area
11 Agamemnon - with Ben Vincent Trad 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.

 
Sun 23rd Jun 2019 - Mt Yarrowyck
New Age area Andrews Nice Slice
V1 Andrew's nice slice - with Andrew Woolley, Vaschka Koboroff Boulder 4m Good
If only it was taller

Cascade boulders Scultpure garden
V0 Cheeky - with Thor Boulder 2m
Sat 8th Sep 2018 - Bowen
Queens Bay The Overhangs
V4 The Cave Boulder 3m Very Good
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 Boulder 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

 
Fri 31st Aug 2018 - Bowen

No pads, 7am sunrise solo send

 
Sun 5th Aug 2018 - Kwiamble National Park

I love it when people joke about a SDS and then it comes actually appears from nowhere
