Fri 28th Dec 2012 - Blue Mountains
Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd Cosmic County Area The Freezer
22 Extension Lead Sport 20m Very Good
Great climb, crimpy bouldery start then just sustained but not too hard for the rest of it. Really good fun!

 
Sat 22nd Dec 2012 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Centennial Glen Main Wall
22 Ruddy Norry Sport 14m, 4 Very Good
Great climb, just watch the bouldering to 1st bolt, but easy ground. Excellent crux with at least 3 ways to do it. Awesome arch and cool near the waterfall.

 
Sun 9th Dec 2012 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Centennial Glen Main Wall
23 Nev Herrod Sport 12m, 5 Classic
Really cool moves, only 2 harder moves, then just pumpfest to the top. Well protected and really fun!

 
Sat 8th Dec 2012 - Blue Mountains
Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd The Dam Cliffs Steep Wall
23 Dictator in a Deerstalker Sport 9m, 4 Classic
Awesome awesome awesome. Some people don't like it, it's one of my favourites. Def 23 if you're shorter, amazingly it's not too hard with the right sequence, eh?

 
Sat 8th Dec 2012 - Blue Mountains
Mount Victoria Area Hartley Hartley Vale Road
21 Something with Spiders Sport 15m, 6 Classic
More stars! Awesome climbing, my 1st 21 onsight. Very thought-provoking crux, especially if you're short. Which way to go, which way to go....? Bouldery start then traversy face climbing.

21 22 Trickles Sport 10m, 4 Very Good
Bouldery bouldery sequence, quite strenuous, very very cool though...

 
18 Technical Short Talk Sport 16m, 5 Very Good
Cruxy traverse at 1st bolt seems to be easier if you're either tall or short....

 
16 Ag Science Sport 18m, 4 Very Good
Ah, makes sense when you go the right way. Lovely warm up.

 
17 18 Manic Sport 17m, 4 Good
Nice Line, lovely moves, thought provoking at the top.

 
Fri 23rd Nov 2012 - Blue Mountains
Medlow Bath Pole 28
21 Path to Paradise Sport 15m, 10 Very Good
Nice! Very fair for 21, really fun.

 
22 Just a Little Late Sport 15m Very Good
Good climb, but the crux move and hold up high is desperate, soooo not 22. Unless 2 of us seriously missed something in an hour of thrashing....

 
Sat 17th Nov 2012 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Centennial Glen White Linen Wall
20 Dr Foopsickle Sport 8m Very Good
great climb, sharp pockets and crimps, not a great warmup and goey, but good.

Nice!!

18 A Sport 10m, 4 Very Good
Really nice little route, thought provoking angles...

 
Sat 27th Oct 2012 - Nowra
The Grotto Cliffline Donutland Leftside
21 19 Hugging And Fucking Sport 12m Very Good
Unless I'm on completely the wrong climb, very thin and commiting over roof, with desperate slopey crimpy dishes for very strenuous gaining of slab. Found way beyond 19 but a very cool climb. Would like to have another go now I'm stronger...

 
13 Blade Flake Sport 22m, 6 Classic
Really awesome at the grade, great warmup, great lead. One though provoking step round the flake to anchors.

 
Sat 27th Oct 2012 - Blue Mountains
Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd The Dam Cliffs Mossy Wall
19 Shadow the Goat Sport 15m, 5 Very Good
Goooood, couple of strenuous moves at crux but nothing major if you sort your feet

 
Sat 27th Oct 2012 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Shipley Upper Hot Flyer Wall
20 19 Hot Flyer pitch 1 Sport 18m Classic
Some thin moves, cool climbing.

 
Sat 20th Oct 2012 - Nowra
The Grotto Cliffline The Grotto Proper
19 Alien Space Monsters Sport 25m, 9 Classic
Very, very good climb with very very unecessary 5m runout up the arete. If you keep from getting pumped it's ok and it's not too hard, but what are we trying to prove, people? Otherwise, awesome climb.

 
Sat 20th Oct 2012 - Blue Mountains
Mount Victoria Area Mount York Mezzaluna Area
16 Mezzaluna Sport 25m, 8 Classic
Really good climbing, though chossy down low. Spaced bolts in places, great from the 3rd bolt up. Gorgeous wall.

 
Sat 20th Oct 2012 - Blue Mountains
Mount Victoria Area Bardens Lookout Jean Genie Area
23 Major Tom Sport 12m Very Good
Great well-protected dyno for the shorties, powerful moves over lip. Cool fun!

 
Sat 29th Sep 2012 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Centennial Glen Wave Wall
23 Split Wave Sport 20m Classic
Really worthy of the stars. No move too hard, just sequence and constant pump till the top.

 
Sat 29th Sep 2012 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Centennial Glen Junket Pumper Area
19 Billy Bunter Sport 15m, 5 Average
Best warm-up in the Glenn. One bizarre and unhelpful bolt placement, but worth doing as a warm up and a better optiuon than Stephen Grunter.

 
Sat 29th Sep 2012 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Shipley Upper Grey Slab
17 Good Fortune Sport 18m Very Good
Great climb, in-grade, lovely flowing moves. Spaced bolts but you got 'em where you need 'em. If 17's challenging, do it on top rope first.

 
Sat 29th Sep 2012 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Centennial Glen White Linen Wall
20 Dr Foopsickle Sport 8m Good
Fingery but fun. Not a great warm up but cool route with nice sequence through pockets and crimps.

 
Sat 22nd Sep 2012 - Blue Mountains
Mount Victoria Area The Soft Parade The Middle
17 18 Fringe Benefit Sport 8m, 5 Good
A bit fiesty for 16, a few hidden little holds. It spat me off!! Will improve with traffic

 
9 J Meister Sport 8m, 4 Very Good
Thanks Josie for your awesome ascent and new climb! I got to do it today. Really nice climb! Getting off the ground the hard part...

 
8 Who's Bob Sport 8m, 5 Very Good
Ultimate beginners lead. Thanks to Sam and Baz. Bolts galore, and an awesome little slab!!

 
10 11 Bob's Breakfast Sport 8m, 5 Very Good
Another awesome beginner lead with loads of bolts. Giant bone bolted to the top was a bit of a shock! Almost fell off from unexpected paradigm shift.

 
16 Hysterical Porcupine Sport 12m Good
Intense little dangle to clip 3rd bolt. Nice climb, will clean up with traffic. Hidden hold round the side at top!

 
Sat 25th Aug 2012 - Blue Mountains
Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd The Dam Cliffs Steep Wall
18 A Tale of Two Cities Sport 12m, 7 Very Good
Nice, fun

 
Sat 25th Aug 2012 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Centennial Glen Junket Pumper Area
24 Junket Pumper Sport 15m Classic
Some say a two move wonder, I reckon it's fair at 24. Especially if you pump out easily. Very very cool moves. Have come close a few times now.

 
Sat 25th Aug 2012 - Blue Mountains
Medlow Bath Pole 28
20 Beta Mail Sport 10m, 4 Very Good
Cool little climb, groovy moves. In-grade, one thought provoking move and great friction on ironstone.

 
18 No Lunch Sport 14m Very Good
Really sweet 18, interesting climbing, in-grade. Just have to generate some reach for a couple of moves. Awesome cavelet.

 
Sat 18th Aug 2012 - Blue Mountains
Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd The Dam Cliffs Gulf War Wall
22 Sister Rosa Sport 18m, 8 Very Good
Definitely 22 with the broken hold. Sequence makes all the difference with the start, couldn't do it without that. Great mantle/pulling onto headwall moves.

 
Sat 18th Aug 2012 - Blue Mountains
Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd The Dam Cliffs Steep Wall
23 School's Out Sport 12m Good
Grrrr, that bloody crux move. Sharp! Strenuous! But once you get it....

 
18 Stormin Norman (Stormin Normin) Sport 12m, 4 Very Good
Really nice. Bouldery down low.

 
22 Vasco Pyjama Sport 12m, 4 Good
One reachy move, can go up or left. Took a bit of figuring out.

 
Sat 18th Aug 2012 - Blue Mountains
Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd The Dam Cliffs Mossy Wall
18 Death of the Moss Monster Sport 15m, 5 Good
Not as good as the 19 beside it but fun. In-grade.

 
Sat 28th Jul 2012 - Nowra
Hospital Rocks Steeper Wall
11 Uncle Udfuddy Sport 15m Average
Yeah, so not 11. Ok, but the 80km/hr winds didn't help. Almost hit in the back by the tree that's supposed to be 4m away...

 
Sat 28th Jul 2012 - Nowra
Hospital Rocks Slabby Wall
11 Little Boxer Girl Sport 9m, 4 Average
Seem to remember it being a lot harder than 11....

 
Sun 22nd Jul 2012 - Blue Mountains
Mount Victoria Area Bardens Lookout Little Triggers Wall
22 Hang onto Yourself Sport 20m Very Good
Awesome moves to arete, fall feels like it'll be a lot worse than it is. Oh, the psychology! Crux is arete then cruise to top.

 
21 Starman Sport 25m Very Good
Great route, thin and crispy in places up top, fair at 21

 
18 Jolly Good Fellow Sport 25m, 9 Classic
Lead in the drizzle, led again in the rain. Awesome climb, very well bolted, excellent lead for 1st time 18 leaders, thought provoking but very doable crux. Bit slippery with puddles on the slate shelves...

 
Wed 4th Jul 2012 - Nowra
Thompson's Point The Wastelands
18 Lucy Can't Dance Sport 22m Very Good
Really nice. More stars!

 
Tue 3rd Jul 2012 - Nowra
Thompson's Point Sloth Area
18 Resurrection of Rick Roller Sport 30m, 10 Very Good
Great climb, just watch the choss at the top. I had a 4kg piece of rock lobbed off while belaying... Will be better with traffic.

 
Tue 3rd Jul 2012 - Nowra
Thompson's Point Betty Blue Area
21 A Day at the Beach Sport 15m, 6 Classic
Very very cool moves and inspiring rock. Thin little traverse moves at top, no idea why the last bolt is right and not left - makes no sense at all, but good nonetheless.

 
Tue 3rd Jul 2012 - Nowra
Thompson's Point Little Grease Cave
21 21 R Mosquito Slap Sport 30m Classic
Really really cool, nothing else like it! No individual move past about 17, but pump, heel hook, pump, heel hook, pump. Amazing. Make sure belayer is set up comfy in the cave or it can be hard to lock off your ATC.

 
Mon 2nd Jul 2012 - Nowra
Thompson's Point Thompson's Sunrise Isengard Buttress
18 Isengard Sport 23m, 9 Very Good
Really lovely climb. Yes it's probably easier then Vanderholics, but it's reachy up high for shorties like me.

 
Mon 2nd Jul 2012 - Nowra
The Grotto Cliffline Gonads Wall
22 Violent Flemm Sport 22m Very Good
Great, sustained thin powerful moves from half way. Did I mention thin? My 1st 22 and looking forward to the redpoint.

18 Depleted Gonad Circumference Sport 20m, 9 Very Good
Really great moves, very in grade, very easy off ground. One reachy move on top arete, only big challenge.

 
Mon 2nd Jul 2012 - Nowra
The Grotto Cliffline The Grotto Proper
20 Spinning Blades of Steel Sport 9m Classic
Awesome climb, hero moves, well bolted. Taught me a lot workshopping ths one. Especially how to relax on jugs when it's upside-down land.

 
14 Pie Man Sport 15m Very Good
For shorties, gaining the wall is one 20-ish move. Otherwise, yes, it's a 14 and nice

 
20 Throbbing Pole Of Love Sport 15m, 7 Very Good
Great climb but definitely much harder than 20. Hard and crimpy followed by more hard and crimpy. More like 22

 
17 L'Arch Sport 16m, 5 Classic
Awesome awesome awesome, love it!

 
Sun 1st Jul 2012 - Nowra
Thompson's Point Gunbarrel Wall
18 Planet Mossvale Sport 28m, 10 Good
Start to 1st bolt a lot harder than 18, then very fair after that. 22 start? Thin 22? Great top section

 
Sun 1st Jul 2012 - Nowra
Thompson's Point Thompson's Sunrise The Block Environs
18 The Edge Sport 15m, 4 Very Good
Really cool. Needed a bit of lichen removal, with a bit of traffic will be awesome.

 
16 17 Loose Lips Leeroy Sport 15m, 5 Classic
Nice 16, thought provoking up high, but definitely 16. Great hero exposure up top, almost got my leg wedged! Cool.

 
Sun 1st Jul 2012 - Nowra
Thompson's Point Thompson's Sunrise Lookout Wall
19 18 Blister In The Sun Sport 18m, 6 Good
Definitely a hard 18 or 19 crux move with the glued on hold. Totally doable but glue makes it slippery and pinchy. Great slab up top, really great.

 
Tue 26th Jun 2012 - Nowra
Thompson's Point Descent Gully Walls
15 Santa's Little Helper Sport 15m, 6 Good
15 my arse. Great climb, just not as a warm up. Thank you Nowra sandbagging ;-)

 
Sat 26th May 2012 - Nowra
Thompson's Point Sloth Area
18 Everything But The Wasp Sport 25m
Interesting slabby thin start, then awesome jug haul with a calf-hook if you want it on the headwall

 
Sat 14th Apr 2012 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Shipley Upper Grey Slab
20 17 Burning Jowls Sport 18m, 8 Good
Feisty if you're short, runout over ledge on thin moves. Totally doable but a couple of really thin moves if you're under 180cm. Other climbs on this wall much more in-grade.

 
Sat 7th Apr 2012 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Centennial Glen White Linen Wall
20 Dr Foopsickle Sport 8m Very Good
great climb, sharp pockets and crimps, not a great warmup and goey, but good.

 
Sun 1st Jan 2012 - Blue Mountains
Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd Cosmic County Area The Freezer
22 SWALK Sport 25m Very Good
Did this a while ago. Great climb. Start is the hardest part then just keeping the pump down. Spectacular view from the top!
