Cascade boulders Evan Stone area | ||||||
V2 ~V1 | ★★ Mother's Milk - with Benji Dutaillis, Alec Eastwood | 6m | ★★ Very Good | |||
I remember being freaked out watching Ben on this but this time it just seemed like no big deal looking up at it. You absolutely do not want to fall but it might even be a V0.

Central climbing areas Savage Amusement Buttress | ||||||
19 | ★★ Springer - with Noah Craven | 15m, 3 | ★★ Very Good | |||
The boulder start to this is really cool
|
||||||
17 | ★ Keystone corruption - with Noah Craven | 15m, 3 | Average | |||
I was originally going to do the real easy far right zig zag but got a bit sketched by the levitating arch. It seems solid but I definitely won't be putting gear near it. The move onto the slab is interesting but it's over too quick and the grassy ledge section at the top out is not ideal.

Downstream climbing areas Gate Boy Boulder | ||||||
V0 | ★★ Gate Boy Crack - with Michael Moore | 5m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Approach shoes with no pad. Great hands
|
||||||
Sun 3rd Sep 2023 - Kwiamble National Park | ||||||
MacIntyre Falls Rock pool and the Beach Steps boulder | ||||||
V2 | ★★ Welcome mat - with Mark | 5m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Last time I didn't actually climb this, and dismissed it but it is really great. I might have just been eyeing up more to the right and missed the two great holds further left
|
||||||
Sun 16th Jul 2023 - Upper Gara Gorge | ||||||
Downstream climbing areas The Bastille | ||||||
15 | ★★★ Impunity - with Blue Mountains Orangutan | 20m, 3 | ★★★ Classic | |||
Fun and flowy, fairly consistent and a great warm up for Innocence in a similar style
|

Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd The Dam Cliffs Mossy Wall | ||||||
18 | ★ Death of the Moss Monster - with Mark, Alex, Denni Heywood | 15m, 5 | ||||
Fri 31st Mar 2023 - Upper Gara Gorge | ||||||
Powers creek junction The Runway Wall | ||||||
17 | ★★ Overhead compartment - with Alec Eastwood, Thor | 8m, 2 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Took a little bit to figure out the mantle but its not too bad
|
||||||
16 | ★ Transit lounge - with Alec Eastwood, Thor | 10m, 3 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Nice flow to this
|
||||||
Sun 29th Jan 2023 - Upper Gara Gorge | ||||||
Central climbing areas Private sector | ||||||
18 | ★★ The Acolytes Cauldron - with Ben Vincent | 10m, 3 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Super stoked with how this route turned out! It's what gara has been missing: easy sport with good clip stances on great water worn rock, interesting features with a crux at the finish and with a clean top out and top rope access.
|
||||||
Sun 15th Jan 2023 - Glenrock Lagoon | ||||||
Middle Earth | ||||||
19 | ★ Gimli's Gripe - with Ben Vincent | 12m, 4 | ||||
19 | ★ Kleptomania - with Ben Vincent | 10m, 3 | ||||
The sun was just hitting the wall and we weren't originally too inspired so just decided to try and speed run as much as we could swinging leads
|
||||||
Fri 13th Jan 2023 - Point Perpendicular | ||||||
The Lighthouse Rex Hunt's Area | ||||||
18 | ★★ Moving Targets - with Ben Vincent | 30m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Based on the dust and cobwebs this probably doesn't see much traffic but it's pretty neat. If we hadn't left some gear at the bottom we would have been done for the day but it was a really great little one to finish up with. Nice to have some jams for a change and switch up the muscle groups.
|
||||||
Fri 13th Jan 2023 - Point Perpendicular | ||||||
The Lighthouse Red Riding Hood Area | ||||||
21 | ★★ Destructive Wombats - with Ben Vincent | 20m, 2 | ★★★ Classic | |||
Super fun! I think this might be my fav route of the day, the second half of pockety goodness is bouldery and very happy to pick my way through the swiss cheese
|
||||||
19 | ★★ When the Levee Breaks - with Ben Vincent | 20m, 4 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Thu 1st Sep 2022 - Upper Gara Gorge | ||||||

Sat 7th May 2022 - Upper Gara Gorge | ||||||
Powers creek junction Humpty Dumpty area | ||||||
V3 | ★★★ Inevitable web - with Ben Vincent, Michael Moore, Volodymyr K, Clive | 5m | ★★★ Classic | |||
I thought I was doing the Feeling of Presence but turns out to be a new problem, and yet another high quality problem on this ace little wall
|
||||||
Sun 13th Feb 2022 - Upper Gara Gorge | ||||||
Cascade boulders Evan Stone area | ||||||
V2 V1 | ★ The Hammer - with Ben Vincent, Benji Dutaillis | 3m | ★ Good | |||
More or less a nice extension
|
||||||
V2 | ★ Side pull - with Ben Vincent, Benji Dutaillis | 3m | ★★ Very Good | |||
I thought this would be really spicy but the left side is too close. A wild hard sit start could be possible off a little crystal pocket
|
||||||
18 | ★★ Death roof - with Ben Vincent, Benji Dutaillis | 6m | ★★ Very Good | |||
This cleaned up fairly nicely into a pure crack problem without the features to the left which we thought would be needed. Could be a couple variants. All over in 2-3 moves but still good fun. Still not sure I'd want to solo boulder it.
|
||||||
Sat 4th Sep 2021 - Upper Gara Gorge | ||||||
Central Boulders Vulcanology area | ||||||
V2 | ★★ Extension start - with Benji Dutaillis | 4m | ★★ Very Good | |||
So glad this link up worked after we un-buried it from the flood debris
|
||||||
Fri 18th Sep 2020 - Upper Gara Gorge | ||||||
Powers creek junction Humpty Dumpty area | ||||||
V0 | ★★★ left jug rail - with Ben Vincent, Benji Dutaillis | 6m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Didn't do the sit start, apparently I also went off route at the top (in a sea of jugs, jeez)
|
||||||
V1 | ★★★ huge rail - with Ben Vincent, Benji Dutaillis | 5m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Still nursing a hand injury from the fall at the bungles so didn't intend to climb. Worth putting my shoes on
|
||||||
Sun 31st May 2020 - Upper Gara Gorge | ||||||
Cascade boulders Evan Stone area | ||||||
V1 | ★ Crimp face - with Ben Vincent, Benji Dutaillis | 4m | ★ Good | |||
Apparently I didn't use the good hands, or the good feet, or any footers
|
||||||
V0 | Offwidth arete - with Ben Vincent, Benji Dutaillis | 4m | ★ Good | |||
Mon 4th Nov 2019 - Upper Gara Gorge | ||||||

V1 | ★★ Drowned relic - with Andrew Woolley, carol lee, Phil, Sarah Tremont | 3m | ★★ Very Good | |||
This is a great little find
|
||||||
Sat 6th Apr 2019 - Cathedral Rock National Park | ||||||
Magic bean | ||||||
V4 | ★★ Underbelly: Razor - with Ben Vincent | 3m | ★ Good | |||
Was showing this to Ben as a warmup. In hindsite I now remember that Underbelly starts on the lowest part of the rail and I had worked this line but not sure if I'd actually done it before. I flashed it (thinking it was the V2) and was repeating it, and I think my right crimp was too aggressive, or too early in the morning, or all of the above. A pretty loud crack ended my day before it really started. A2 pulley on right ring finger, probably a grade II / partial tear, so not good but not too bad in the grand scheme of things

Cascade boulders Above the private sector | ||||||
V2 | ★★ No big deal - with Nathan H. | 4m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Scouted and cleaned it from the top for the first time and it looked so hard and scary from the top looking down. But it's a pure gem and quite easy

Super fun, with just the right amount of difficulty over the water
|
||||||
V1 | ★ Nepalese Peace Pagoda - with Alan Ezzy, Amy O'Toole, Julie, Nicolas | 4m | ★ Good | |||
Cruisy, a longer sequence than much of gara. Should be a few other problems just around the arete too
|
||||||
V1 | ★ Bob - with Alan Ezzy, Amy O'Toole | 4m | ★ Good | |||
Thought it would be more on the arete and very sketchy fall, ended up quite sane straight forward
|
||||||
V0 | ★ Stuart - with Alan Ezzy, Amy O'Toole | 4m | ★ Good | |||
Juicy

The most scary send I have had in ages - WOOHOO!!
Step up on rocks that you don't want to fall on, jump to the nice jug (if you are a short arse like me), a little left crimp, then match your right foot to your hand and rock over and up. |
