	22	★★★ Guillotine (Guillotine P1) - with Adrian Kladnig 1 22 20m lead by Tim Clarkson	Sport 20m, 23	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Mon 16th Sep 2019
Love this pitch. Stem as high as you can off tree for the 22 version. Punchy off the deck, then lovely and consistent.
	22	★★★ Guillotine (Guillotine P1) 1 22 lead by Tim	Sport 48m, 23	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Fri 8th Apr 2016
Stellar climbing. Pumpy but very doable and fun after you skip to the 1st bolt up the tree... (as per route description).
	24	★★ Junction City - with Tom Collins	Sport 27m, 13	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Sat 24th Jun 2017
2nd shot! Yeah baby!
	24	★★ Rhubarb Crumble - with Adrian Kladnig	Sport 15m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Mon 15th Feb 2021
1st shot of the day!! Impossible to hardly pumped with good beta. Nothing too hard here, but loooots of opportunities to blow energy and make it harder. Letterbox deadpoint is so much easier for me than crimper crux, but I've now seen it done 5 or 6 ways! Options
	24	★★ Blowtorch - with Adrian Kladnig	Sport 18m, 10	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Fri 26th Feb 2021
3rd shot ascent! Great climbing, good rest before crux, and beta definitely wins the day! Yeah!
23
	23	★★ Master Plan	Sport 15m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Sun 26th Apr 2015
	23	★★ Major Tom	Sport 12m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Sat 20th Oct 2012
Great well-protected dyno for the shorties, powerful moves over lip. Cool fun!
	23	★★ Reigning Steel - with Adrian Kladnig	Sport 17m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Fri 2nd Sep 2022
Such. An. Awesome. Route! Nice to be ticking 23 again.
	23	★★★ Legoland	Sport 25m, 9	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Sat 30th Sep 2017
Really stellar climbing. All about pump management. Nothing hard.
	23	★ Watergate	Sport 15m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Fri 8th Sep 2017
2 move wonder, but great moves and a bit of pump as it eases off after the crux. Would get more stars if the was more of it! Happy I flashed those 2 moves!
	23	★★★ You Crazy Diamond	Sport 26m, 9	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Sat 1st Sep 2018
Seem to remember, no hard bits, just awesome from start to finish.
	23	★★ Nev Herrod	Sport 12m, 5	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Sun 9th Dec 2012
Really cool moves, only 2 harder moves, then just pumpfest to the top. Well protected and really fun!
	23	★ Hairy Horrace	Sport 12m	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Mon 18th Mar 2013
Very crimpy crux, I would stick clip 2nd bolt. Really not worth decking out on boulder and doesn't add difficulty to the climb. 1st 3 bolts is it, then balancy jugs to top.
	23	★★ Dictator in a Deerstalker	Sport 9m, 4	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Sat 8th Dec 2012
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?
	23	★ Scheme of Things	Sport 12m, 5	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Thu 4th Apr 2013
Fiesty and cruxy 23 but with awesome and go-ey moves. Loved figuring htis one out.
	23	★★ Master Plan	Sport 15m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Sat 27th Apr 2013
What an amazing climb! Not too cruxy, just sustained and technical crimping with sequence and feet being everything. Oh, and breathing. Oh, and climbing fast. So happy, got it at sunset with gorgeous orange glow, 4th shot.
	23	★★★ Hot Flyer	Sport 25m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Mon 1st May 2017
2nd shot! Great great climb. Excellent rest before the crux
	23	★★ Flirting With the Spanish Dancer	Sport 20m, 9	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Sat 30th Sep 2017
Great to punch 1st shot today up something I couldn't do not long ago. Stellar climbing.
	23	★★★ Weak as I am - with Adrian Kladnig	Sport 22m, 13	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Mon 2nd Sep 2019
One of the best 23s I've been on in ages. Classy climbing, wouldn't exactly say there's no crux, but the thin sections don't last long. Thanks to Adrian for the suggestion! Lots of bolts, great moves.
	23	★★ Split Wave - with Adrian Kladnig	Sport 20m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Sun 2nd Feb 2020
	23	★★ Reigning Steel - with Adrian Kladnig	Sport 17m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Sat 8th May 2021
Really excellent climbing, pumpy but a couple of good rests. Nothing too small for crimps on this one, just keeps coming! Such amazing rock and on any other wall would get more stars. Just surrounded by so many classics. 2nd shot yeeey.
22
	22	★ Just a Little Late	Sport 15m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Fri 23rd Nov 2012
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....
	22	★★ Three Hour Commute	Sport 17m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Thu 1st Feb 2018
Second go cause i liked so much
	22	★★ Daffy - with grace mackie	Sport 20m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Thu 25th Jan 2018
Lovely to be back on this awesome climb. One of the best 22s out there.
	22	★★ Hang onto Yourself	Sport 20m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Sun 22nd Jul 2012
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.
	22	★★ These People are Sandwiches	Sport 15m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Mega Classic	Sat 2nd Feb 2013
Wow, what a sequence! What a whipping if you get it wrong too! Amazing climbing, will make you get your shit together at 22. So close dammit!
	22	★ Duracell Bunny (Duracell Bunny (aka Milky Jugs))	Sport 15m	Blue Mountains	Crap	Fri 18th Jan 2013
I'm perplexed at the good comments. Some of the roughest, unfriendliest rock I've been on with snapped off hold all over the place, sharp rock and no flow. Awful.
	22	★★ Spread 'em Baby	Sport 25m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Mon 25th Mar 2013
More stars, people! Great climb, really strenuous arkward bridging and trying desperately to keep your feet on whilst hauling on slopers and crimps. Well bolted crux, thankfully!! Went down slab on my arse facing backwards and am all OK.
	22	★ Shocking Pocket Monster	Sport 15m	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Sat 16th Mar 2013
Bolt placement at crux not fantastic, belayer can, but needs to be agile to prevent you from hitting small ledge. At least 3 ways to do the crux, one does make the fall much better. Other than that, very cool climb! Strenuous!
	22	★ Vasco Pyjama	Sport 12m, 4	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Sat 18th Aug 2012
One reachy move, can go up or left. Took a bit of figuring out.
	22	★★ Return of the Toe Cutter Gang	Sport 25m, 7	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Thu 18th Apr 2013
Thin, bouldery, sustained. Cool moves though
	22	★★ Serious Leather	Sport 18m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Thu 18th Apr 2013
Little of everything, boulder, mantle, thin face. Solid but fun. Coming back for the tick
	22	★★ Return of the Toe Cutter Gang	Sport 25m, 7	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Tue 8th Oct 2013
	22	★★ Daffy - with Adrian Kladnig, rickau	Sport 20m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Mon 22nd Jun 2020
Repeat, clean (just). Such a good climb, so much pump!
	22	★★ The Belles, The Belles	Sport 30m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Sun 17th Sep 2017
Great climbing in a beautiful location! Great to have it rebolted, though why it's 2 sets of bolts and not a linkup at the top doesn't make sense... great climbing and long!
	22	★★ Three Hour Commute - with grace mackie	Sport 17m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Thu 1st Feb 2018
Very cool route if a little figuring out needed. Very happy to onsight
	22	★★ Nylon Happy	Sport 20m, 8	Blue Mountains	★★★ Mega Classic	Sun 17th Mar 2013
Amazing sequency varied route. Crux not so hard once your feet are sorted. Terrifying before then A must-do.
	22	★ The Optimist	Sport 24m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Sat 16th Mar 2013
Really good climbing, crux down low then balancy jugs to top. Thought-provoking.
	22	★★ Extension Lead	Sport 20m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Fri 28th Dec 2012
Great climb, crimpy bouldery start then just sustained but not too hard for the rest of it. Really good fun!
	22	★★ SWALK	Sport 25m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Sat 16th Mar 2013
Awesome climb, crux down low and then just balancy/pumpy to top through caves and breaks and winding sequences. Great!
	22	★★ Woodpecker	Sport 16m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Sat 2nd Feb 2013
Great climb! Bouldery start, once you're past first 4 clips it's smooth sailing. Ticked it in the rain!
	22	★★ Ruddy Norry	Sport 14m, 4	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Sat 22nd Dec 2012
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.
	21 22	★★ Red Sails Direct	Sport 12m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Sat 23rd Mar 2013
Really nice route. Agree it's a little easy for the 22 proposed in Blu Mts guide. This wall very confusing from online notes. Route starts at the bulge of shale and apparent choss (that's not so chossy once you're on it) that shortens the surrounding roof to a moderate overhang. 2 starts on 2 different 1st bolts to access 4 or 5 routes on headwall. Great climbing though, really fun moves!
	22	★★ Sister Rosa	Sport 18m, 8	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Sat 18th Aug 2012
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.
	22	★★ The Go Between	Sport 15m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Sun 28th Apr 2013
Great climbing, similar style to Master Plan - lots of crimps, keep on moving, get your feet right. 2nd shot, woohoo! Found it in-grade but no giveaway. Had to think.
	22	★★ Hunky Dory	Sport 20m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Sun 28th Apr 2013
Wow. Amazing moves, just keeps coming. Old-school bolting (boulder to ledge and then stick clip from there and then a bit spaced after that) but safe fall territory. Sphincter-tightening awesomeness. Really worth doing. 2nd shot, chuffed.
	22	★★ La Niña	Sport 25m, 10	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Fri 8th Apr 2016
What a great route! So varied and really makes you figure it out. Very happy to have it 2nd shot.
	22	★★ SWALK	Sport 25m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Sun 1st Jan 2012
Did this a while ago. Great climb. Start is the hardest part then just keeping the pump down. Spectacular view from the top!
	22	★★ Daffy	Sport 20m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Sun 2nd Oct 2016
One of the better 22s I've ever done. Really great route, pumpy, but no individual hard moves. A few ways to approach the crux.
	22	★★ A Pound Of Flesh - with Jackie Charles, Scott Kelly	Sport 8m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Mon 15th Jul 2019
	22	★★★ Seamstress - with Adrian Kladnig, rickau	Sport 22m, 10	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Mon 22nd Jun 2020
A long time after my first flail ont his, sent it today with a flaming pump at the top. Really good climbing and engaging the whole way with a lie down rest before the crux. Very on point for the grade.

	21	★★ Duck Tits	Sport 16m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Thu 25th Jan 2018
Lovely climbing and easier and less run out than the 20 next door...
	21	★★ Duck Tits	Sport 16m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Thu 1st Feb 2018
	21	★★ Little Jug of Happiness - with Adrian Kladnig 1 18 25m 2 21 20m 3 12 20m	Sport 65m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Mon 27th Jan 2020
Great warmup
	21	★★ Duck Tits - with Scott Kelly, Josh Khoo	Sport 16m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Wed 20th Jan 2021

	17	★★ Dress Rehearsal Rag - 1st Pitch	Sport 35m, 4	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Sun 16th Apr 2017
	21	★★ Barefoot in the Head - with Adrian Kladnig	Mixed trad 30m, 6	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Sat 24th Aug 2019
We accidentally linked most of this into some of Pretty Boy Floyd. Either way, some very reachy carrots, having to pull on crimps with tiny feet to clip or unclip carrots.. just be aware. If you're 6ft2 you'll be fine. Good if occasionally burly climbing, burly mainly clipping bolts. Think I got it clean after falling at the start...
	21	★★ Starman	Sport 25m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Sun 22nd Jul 2012
Great route, thin and crispy in places up top, fair at 21
	21	★★ Path to Paradise	Sport 15m, 10	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Fri 23rd Nov 2012
Nice! Very fair for 21, really fun.
	21	★★ Jaws	Sport 15m, 4	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Sat 30th Jul 2011
Great moves, did it in the drizzle in 7 degrees...
	21	★★ Chasing Amy	Sport 22m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Sat 2nd Mar 2013
Wow, great moves, definitely thin, definitely techy, but wow.
	22 21	★★★ Exhibition Wall	Sport 30m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Sat 21st Sep 2013
Awesome awesome climbing. Found it on the stiff side for 21, or maybe I need a better sequence. Sustained but awesome. "It ain't over till it's ooooover..."
	21	★★ Jaws	Sport 15m, 4	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Wed 1st Jan 2014
	21	★ Socially Inept - with Adrian Kladnig	Sport 12m, 4	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Mon 16th Sep 2019
Great climbing, thin goey crux
	21	★ Whimsical - with Adrian Kladnig	Sport 12m, 6	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Mon 16th Sep 2019
Balancy thin crux. Love this one.
	21	★★ Duck Tits - with Adrian Kladnig, rickau	Sport 16m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Mon 22nd Jun 2020
So good.
	21	★★ Something with Spiders	Sport 15m, 6	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Sat 8th Dec 2012
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	★★ Queen Bitch - with Jara, Jackie Charles	Sport 15m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Sat 26th Mar 2016
Fantastic climb, stoked with the onsight. Creative shoulder rotations at the top kept me from pumping out. Loads of rests which helped me Really worthwhile!
	21	★ Socially Inept	Sport 12m, 4	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Fri 8th Apr 2016
Really cool climb. One of everything to keep it interesting.
	21	★★ Jingle Bells - with Jara	Sport 15m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Sun 11th Sep 2016
Quite impressed with this climb. Not obvious through the crux. Bouldery and a bit fiesty but fair for the grade. 1 week back on after broken ribs. Happy to onsight!
	21	★★ Duck Tits	Sport 16m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Tue 3rd Jan 2017
Lovely climb, probably a soft 21 but great addition! Fun!!
	21	★ Whimsical	Sport 12m, 6	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Wed 4th Jan 2017
Great route! Was told it was a 19! Couple of thin moves, bit of route finding but great climbing!
	20	★★ Smack My Pitch Up - with Tom Collins 1 lead by Tom 2 lead by Tim 3 lead by Tom 4 lead by Tim 5 lead by Tom	Sport 120m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Sun 23rd Apr 2017
	21	★★ Flash Flood - with Brent	Sport 18m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Fri 6th Oct 2017
Great climb, the shared start is a bit more bouldery now that some chunks have fallen off. Be careful, there's still a couple of bits of choss left right at the start. My feeling is fair for 21?
	18	★★ Little Jug of Happiness (Little Jug of Happiness P1) - with Adrian Kladnig 1 18 25m lead by Tim Clarkson	Sport 25m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Mon 16th Sep 2019
Lovely! Sandy for 2 bolts then great. Cruisy, not much of a crux.
	21	★ Hunter Or Prey? - with Adrian Kladnig	Sport 22m, 12	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Fri 28th Oct 2022
Really good! Climbs well, fair for the grade, and crux at the top. Interesting and well bolted
	21	★★ Colditz - with Tom Collins	Sport 28m, 11	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Sat 8th Jul 2017
Great climb, if sharp and thin. Rather than 0.75 cam in Blue Mts guide, 0.5 cam much better placement in the same break (really obvious). Crispy fingertips that's for sure but a great piece of rock.
	22 21	★ Diana Ross	Sport 15m	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Fri 18th Jan 2013
Very crimpy powerful crux but then it's a waltz to the top. Definitely fiesty at 21.
	21	★ Friendly Fire	Sport 12m, 4	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Sun 13th Oct 2013
2nd shot. Thin and crispy in places, but in grade. All about the foot placements and trusting a couple of holds facing odd directions. Great rock, good climb.
	21	★ Friendly Fire	Sport 12m, 4	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Sun 16th Aug 2015
	21	★ Vambrace	Sport 15m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Fri 8th Sep 2017

	21	★★ Dr Do Little - with Adrian Kladnig	Sport 15m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Mon 7th Oct 2019
Great climbing. Others found ways to make the crux easier than i did today
	21	★★ So, Said The King	Sport 20m, 9	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Tue 1st Oct 2013
20
	21	★ Old Blobby - with Sam Clark, Lucy Rose	Sport 25m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Sat 23rd Dec 2017
Really good climb, crimpy start, then pumpy mega mega jugs you can almost get your whole arm in. Had to pull past a crimp my tender finger didn't like. Very enjoyable. Spaced bolting in a couple of spots with extra huge jugs.
	20	★ Duckling - with grace mackie	Sport 12m, 4	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Thu 1st Feb 2018
	20	★ Duckling - with grace mackie	Sport 12m, 4	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Thu 1st Feb 2018
	20	★ Araldite - with Adrian Kladnig, rickau	Sport 20m	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Sat 13th Feb 2021
Good climb, but climbing right of the 1st bolt keeps it at grade 20 unless you're 185cm tall. Direct past 1st bolt a bit harder. Good though!
	20	★ Araldite - with Adrian Kladnig	Sport 20m	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Mon 15th Feb 2021
	20	★★ Bohemiath - with Jara 1 2	Sport 37m, 14	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Mon 25th Apr 2016
Great climb, little on the physical side for the grade at points but good climbing and varied. Did as one long pitch and topped out.
	20	★★ Strange Karma	Sport 15m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Sat 24th Sep 2011
Awesome moves over lip, very fair at the grade Not too hard.
	20	★ Statistical Scare Tactics	Sport 15m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Sat 23rd Mar 2013
Fell off the anchors cause it started raining on the jugs!! Great climb, a little feisty at the top for 20 cause an undercling has ripped off, but not too much harder, just a bit more reachy/techy. Coming back for sure!
	20	★ Araldite - with Jara	Sport 20m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Sun 11th Sep 2016
	20	★★ Strange Karma - with Scott Kelly, Josh Khoo	Sport 15m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Sat 1st Dec 2018
Still an excellent climb with one punchy, well bolted move in the middle. Very worthwhile. There's an out of sight carrot before anchors too.
	21 20	★ Nude Tuesday - with Adrian Kladnig	Sport 20m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Mon 6th Jul 2020
Really great thin but friction-y 21 climbing. Spaced bolts, 1 runout on genuinely easy ground. Eases off when you need it to.
	20	★★ Choc Chip Chai - with Adrian Kladnig	Sport 15m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Sat 8th May 2021
Just damn good fun.
	20	★★ Choc Chip Chai - with Adrian Kladnig	Sport 15m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Fri 2nd Sep 2022
Just such a lovely climb. Finally climbed direct to the anchors
	20	★★ Nice Vice Baby	Sport 20m, 9	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Sun 17th Mar 2013
Great climb, very though-provoking but do-able crux. Some seriously thin feet but awesome over the lip. Generally: put a draw through the perma-rope at the badly placed bolt under roof. Then gain lip, reach down and put your own longer draw on it, then keep going.
	20	★ Beta Mail	Sport 10m, 4	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Sat 25th Aug 2012
Cool little climb, groovy moves. In-grade, one thought provoking move and great friction on ironstone.
