23 Legoland Sport 25m, 9 Blue Mountains Classic Sat 30th Sep 2017
Really stellar climbing. All about pump management. Nothing hard.

 
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

 
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!

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

 
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.

 
20 Araldite Sport 20m Blue Mountains Very Good Fri 1st Apr 2016
Great route! Funky crazy but well protected finish. Very manageable for 20.

 
20 Wild Honey - with Barry Jung Sport 7m Blue Mountains Very Good Tue 10th Oct 2017
Left rising traverse. Delicate foot movements. Lovely little addition to the Soft Parade. Thanks to Barry for both the bolting and the belay on my first first ascent on rope!

 
21 20 Nude Tuesday - with Adrian Kladnig Sport 20m Blue Mountains Very Good Mon 2nd Sep 2019
Excellent!! Agree with the 21 grade for some thin moves. Quality though.

 
20 Choc Chip Chai - with Adrian Kladnig Sport 15m, 7 Blue Mountains Classic Mon 16th Sep 2019
Great climbing!! Only a couple of thinner moves, nothing too hard, just pumpy. Possibly soft at the grade if your beta is good

 
20 Rock Snob - with Adrian Kladnig Sport 12m, 4 Blue Mountains Very Good Mon 16th Sep 2019
Don't know why is gets no stars! Climbs well, just 2 bolts of sandiness, with great movementand a sudden punchy crux. I thought it was great! Very similar to neighbouring climbs.

 
19 Billy Bunter Sport 15m, 5 Blue Mountains Average Sat 29th Sep 2012
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.

 
19 Shadow the Goat Sport 15m, 5 Blue Mountains Very Good Sat 27th Oct 2012
Goooood, couple of strenuous moves at crux but nothing major if you sort your feet

 
19 Terra Incognita Sport 18m Blue Mountains Very Good Sat 26th Jan 2013
Really nice climb, pumpy but in-grade. Reeeeally spaced bolts though, bit scary at the top.

 
20 19 Jack High - with Sam Clark Sport 20m Blue Mountains Classic Sun 12th Jun 2016
Excellent excellent climbing. Thin and crispy climbing, good rests and had to have a good think and stare to figure out which tiny crimps were the ones through the crux. Well worthwhile.

 
19 Sloper for Saddam Sport 15m, 3 Blue Mountains Good Mon 3rd Oct 2016
Made it hard for myself 1st time... not bad. Can't believe I haven't actually done this one before.

 
19 Sloper for Saddam Sport 15m, 3 Blue Mountains Good Mon 3rd Oct 2016
Made it hard for myself 1st time... not bad.

 
20 19/20 Charlene - with jayden rouse Sport 25m Blue Mountains Very Good Sun 20th May 2018
Was a bit confused getting to 1st visible hanger at 10m, then excellent and well protected bouldery climbing up slightly overhanging face. Goey but fun and good clipping positions between crimps. Very worthwhile. Supposed to start up right corner/arete jumble under Murmel Snooze arete. I traversed in from Noodle/Thunderfart corner. 2 x shiny carrot bolts (one sticks out a long way though) out of sight at top of little arete well before the hanger you can see from the ground at 10m. Good to know.

 
19 Poultry in Motion - with Scott Kelly, Josh Khoo Sport 15m, 6 Blue Mountains Classic Sat 1st Dec 2018
Excellent jug climbing with 2 technical moves on smaller holds (but not crimpy). Some total hero moves and well bolted. My feeling deserves 3 stars. Really fun and cruisy at the grade with a good sequence.

 
21 19 Birthday Bolts (Birthday Bolts direct) - with Adrian Kladnig Sport 20m, 9 Blue Mountains Very Good Mon 23rd Sep 2019
Direct start is good and fun, just a bit bouldery reaching past 1st bolt. Going right rather than left at 4th or 5th via thin moves makes it a bit more definitely 21 in my opinion. Nice!

 
19 Weld Party - with Adrian Kladnig

Sport 80m, 45 Blue Mountains Very Good Tue 15th Jun 2021
Lovely route with good bolting. Definitely no rap required on approach, just harnessing up and clipping into fixed ropes for a short section. Bit of choss to avoid up the scoops, but interesting movement and a thin-ish 19 crux mid pitch 3.

 
18 Jolly Good Fellow Sport 25m, 9 Blue Mountains Classic Sun 22nd Jul 2012
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...

 
18 No Lunch Sport 14m Blue Mountains Very Good Sat 25th Aug 2012
Really sweet 18, interesting climbing, in-grade. Just have to generate some reach for a couple of moves. Awesome cavelet.

 
18 Old Salt Sport 18m Blue Mountains Very Good Sat 24th Sep 2011
Nice, and perfect for the grade.

 
18 Hold on to Your Hats Sport 15m Blue Mountains Very Good Sat 16th Feb 2013
Great climb, in-grade, just be prepared for some proper proper slab moves on the slab. Trust those feet!

 
15 18 Awesome Daddy (J&D1) Sport 10m Blue Mountains Don't Bother Sat 26th Jan 2013
Nice moves but dodgy, scary rock. Really wasn't happy on this one.

 
18 Death of the Moss Monster Sport 15m, 5 Blue Mountains Good Sat 18th Aug 2012
Not as good as the 19 beside it but fun. In-grade.

 
18 A Tale of Two Cities Sport 12m, 7 Blue Mountains Very Good Sat 25th Aug 2012
Nice, fun

 
18 YonX Sport 15m Blue Mountains Good Fri 2nd Jan 2015
18 Blow Fly Sport 15m, 8 Blue Mountains Very Good Fri 1st Apr 2016
Only a couple of thinner moves. Fair for 18. Lovely climb

 
18 Please Dry Sport 12m, 5 Blue Mountains Very Good Fri 8th Apr 2016
Varied and great climbing, really enjoyable. Not just a warm up!

 
18 Lexical Density Sport 25m Blue Mountains Very Good Thu 18th Jul 2019
Fantastic climb with about 4 possible sequences through the distinct crux depending on height and preference. Fair for 18 though a technical crux may require thought to keep it in grade

 
18 The Bandoline Grip - with Adrian Kladnig Sport 18m, 6 Blue Mountains Very Good Mon 2nd Sep 2019
Really nice! Nothing stiff on this one, just nice moves and a bit of tech at the top. Spaced but ok bolting at the bottom.

 
18 Sparrow - with Adrian Kladnig, Gee Buck Mixed trad 18m, 4 Blue Mountains Very Good Sun 8th Sep 2019
Lovely thought provoking climbing. Some thin holds but with good feet top help out.

 
18 Slip, Snap, Splash. - with Adrian Kladnig Sport 30m, 15 Blue Mountains Very Good Fri 26th Jun 2020
Lovely climbing and fair for the grade. Bit of choss to avoid but nothing major.

 
17 Good Fortune Sport 18m Blue Mountains Very Good Sat 29th Sep 2012
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.

 
17 Mr. Curly Sport 10m, 3 Blue Mountains Very Good Fri 18th Jan 2013
Really nice, in-grade, fun! Look around for a few possible sequences depending on your height.

 
17 Sardines (Unknown (2)) Sport 12m, 4 Blue Mountains Very Good Sat 25th Sep 2010
Really nice climbing.

 
18 17 Electrostatic Axila Sport 15m Blue Mountains Very Good Sat 26th Jan 2013
Lovely climbing. Slopey balancy crux but well bolted if i remember correctly

 
17 Wet Feet Sport 14m Blue Mountains Classic Sat 26th Jan 2013
Unique, ironstone flake traverssy and partly bouldery climbing. Lovely and serene over creek. Can't believe I walked past it for so long...

 
17 Once You Bolt Crack You Never Go Back - with Jackie Charles Sport 12m Blue Mountains Very Good Fri 10th Apr 2015
17 Aquadhere Sport 15m Blue Mountains Average Sun 10th Apr 2016
Movement is good and interesting but the rock is pretty chossy in parts. Watch kicking stuff off on your belayer. If done delicately through those bits is good fun.

 
17 Hermione - with Jackie Charles Sport 25m, 8 Blue Mountains Mega Classic Thu 11th Jan 2018
Thanks to whoever helped sort out the bolts and anchors... I'm really hard pressed to think of a better 17 I've done. Immensely enjoyable. Nothing hard, just a few techy bits, spaced bolting but not too outrageous. I feel that in keeping with the popularity of Bardens, it's a very worthy addition to the sport world for the sake of one extra bolt, and a beautiful climb, and another accessible easier climb for those working their way up gradually.

 
17 Pluck the Duck - with Scott Kelly Sport 12m Blue Mountains Very Good Mon 11th Jun 2018
Lovely with just a couple of moves to make you think. Very fair for 17. Long draws on anchors avoid rope drag or biner bending over final jugs.

 
17 Mita's Match - with Jackie Charles, Scott Kelly Sport 12m Blue Mountains Good Mon 15th Jul 2019
Jugs have great moves, but sandy as hell! First couple are the worst then they improve. Brushing helped a lot, though only so much you can do. Fair at 17 overhang, once they're brushed. On the onsite, gripping, literally and figuratively. Generous bolting protects very well over the slab beneath.

 
17 Monkey Girl - with Adrian Kladnig Sport 23m Blue Mountains Very Good Mon 7th Oct 2019
Lovely climb. Once you're established on the wall it's easier to the top. ** Single giant quick clip is wearing through... needs replacing soon.

 
17 How Much Is A Duck Worth - with Adrian Kladnig, rickau Sport 15m Blue Mountains Very Good Mon 22nd Jun 2020
What a great climb! One of everything. A few friable edges but nothing major. Now with an extra bolt to allow lowering off before the headwall if it's wet.

 
16 The Sisters of Fatima Sport 12m, 5 Blue Mountains Very Good Sat 24th Sep 2011
Really great and in grade, even thought it's a bit overhung at the start. Technique will take 50% of the juice required out of this one

 
16 Hysterical Porcupine Sport 12m Blue Mountains Good Sat 22nd Sep 2012
Intense little dangle to clip 3rd bolt. Nice climb, will clean up with traffic. Hidden hold round the side at top!

 
16 Visions Fade Sport 12m, 7 Blue Mountains Good Sat 9th Mar 2013
Cool line, bit crimpy and wandery at the top, had to think. Some great moves.

 
16 Kooks Trad 25m Blue Mountains Classic Sun 28th Apr 2013
My first mixed lead!! Awesome. Only rudimentary off-width technique required, but if you're cool with those moves it'll save some effort. Can be done without any gear, but a stopper or cam in the 1st few meters is good, and a range of cams or hexes can reduce runouts at various points. Didn't have any big gear and it was heady but ok. Shiny ringbolts niiiiiice. Really worth doing.

 
16 Kwik Grip - with Tim Clarkson Sport 15m, 9 Blue Mountains Good Fri 1st Apr 2016
Lovely climb, 1 or 2 great thought provoking moves, perfect for the grade

 
16 Blow Me Sport 16m, 9 Blue Mountains Very Good Fri 1st Apr 2016
Slightly more techy than the one to the right, very nice, still fair for 16. Just a little more head-scratching.

 
16 Blow Dry Sport 15m, 6 Blue Mountains Good Sun 11th Sep 2016
16 Rabbit Season, Duck Season Sport 12m, 7 Blue Mountains Good Sun 2nd Oct 2016
Nice, little thought provoking couple of moves...

 
16 Science Friction Sport 13m, 5 Blue Mountains Very Good Sun 14th Jul 2019
Nice movement, good bolting. Only a few friable edges at the top, but easy to pick. Worthwhile.

 
15 Dirty Beasts Sport 17m Blue Mountains Very Good Wed 30th Jan 2013
Great climb with a reachy crux. If you're under about 174cm, might need to crimp and/or be creative to gain bulge, if that's the case maybe add a grade. Great climb though, and highly worthy addition! Thanks Sam!

 
15 The Arrow and the Song Sport 26m, 9 Blue Mountains Good Thu 31st Mar 2011
In grade, bolts a bit spaced, nice climb though.

 
14 15 Pitang Pitang Sport 12m, 6 Blue Mountains Good Sat 24th Sep 2011
Nice, bit balancy in spots for the grade, but cool.

 
15 Shabby Doll - with Scott Kelly Sport 16m, 4 Blue Mountains Very Good Mon 2nd Oct 2017
Lovely and logical climbing, if a little on the spaced side as a sport climb. But quite manageable at all the right points. Makes sense that it was once a gear route.

 
15 Community Service - with Scott Kelly Sport 20m, 6 Blue Mountains Good Mon 2nd Oct 2017
Nice enough, though a little techy and a little pumpy for 15 I feel. Some good delicate moves, and a couple of thin ones.

 
15 Clag - with Scott Kelly Sport 15m, 8 Blue Mountains Very Good Sat 23rd Dec 2017
Surprisingly good and with less loose rock than climbs further left. Just some surface slough from some scrabbling feet. Fun and interesting with slightly overhung jugs at the top.

 
15 Split for Dinner - with Jackie Charles, Scott Kelly Sport 10m, 6 Blue Mountains Mon 15th Jul 2019
Surprisingly balancy with small feet. Genuine slabbing and areting!!

 
15 Sensitive Freight - with Jackie Charles, Scott Kelly Sport 8m, 5 Blue Mountains Good Mon 15th Jul 2019
Another genuine slab with good movement and small feet. Fun!

 
15 Noodle - with jono, mara Sport 12m Blue Mountains Very Good Thu 18th Jul 2019
Excellent!! Climbed from bottom of corner at the path, via a couple of nut placements. Lovely and well bolted!

 
14 The Cat that Fought Back Sport 15m Blue Mountains Classic Wed 30th Jan 2013
Really nice addition with appropriately spaced bolts for 14. Thanks to Mitch for a great beginners climb. Thought provoking but very in-grade.

 
15 14 Ole Biscuit Barrel Sport 15m, 5 Blue Mountains Good Sat 24th Sep 2011
Good climb, not convinced it's 13, think 15 much fairer.

 
14 Squashed Parrot Sport 18m Blue Mountains Very Good Sat 9th Mar 2013
Really awesome climbing. Grade 10 after the mantle start. I think a strenuous but fair 14 start. It's an easy mantle with about 3 ways to do it. Beautiful flow to the route.

 
14 Fucary Rug Sport 15m, 5 Blue Mountains Very Good Mon 25th Mar 2013
Great beginners lead, though 1st hanger is looking a little bent out of shape. Great moves, though provoking but in grade, lots of bolts. Only one carrot at top, have to share with a neighbouring climb. Not too big a deal as you have to walk off anyway and it's a very safe topout.

 
14 Okipoki Sport 10m, 5 Blue Mountains Very Good Sat 9th Mar 2013
Nice little lead. Needs a bit of traffic. A little though-provoking but cool.

 
14 I Must Be Getting Old - with Jackie Charles Sport 10m Blue Mountains Very Good Sun 23rd Apr 2017
Really, really nice climbing! 1 balancy move at 2nd bolt.

 
14 Flyby - with Jackie Charles Sport 8m Blue Mountains Good Mon 24th Apr 2017
Stays left of the draws round the corner.... draws should really be further left to avoid swinging falls... good moves though.

 
14 Your Choice Sport 10m, 5 Blue Mountains Very Good Sat 12th Aug 2017
Really fun and a couple of thought provoking moves. Stepping over to the block at the top is great!

 
13 Zam Zam - with Jackie Charles Sport 13m, 6 Blue Mountains Good Mon 24th Apr 2017
Interesting, and a fun piece of rock. Kind of traverses between 2 natural lines in my opinion... one to the right of the 3rd bolt that stays right, and one that starts on a techy but lovely slab directly underneath the 3rd bolt then stays left of it, at about grade 15/16.

 
12 Jug City Sport 15m, 3 Blue Mountains Very Good Sat 25th Sep 2010
Almost confusing there's so many holds. Bit of a gap to anchors at top but easy moves. Long slings on top if you're gonna top rope, lip creates a lot of rope drag when lowering.

 
12 Soho Central - with Jackie Charles Sport 6m, 4 Blue Mountains Sun 23rd Apr 2017
12 The Eyrie - with Tim Clarkson
1 12 lead by Mark ferrier
2 12 lead by Tim Clarkson
Mixed trad 45m, 3 Blue Mountains Classic Fri 8th Sep 2017
Beautiful climb. Pitch 1 plenty of pro when you need it, very easy climbing between. Pitch 2 I totaly missed the bolt on right side of arete, just a sling on a knob and a decent wire, with a really big gap! 60km/hr winds didn't help me think clearly, but I'd love to come so it again not in a gale! Stellar exposure, and moves out of the cave easy with an easy to clip bolt if you look around.

 
10 11 Bob's Breakfast Sport 8m, 5 Blue Mountains Very Good Sat 22nd Sep 2012
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.

 
11 Honk On - with Jackie Charles Sport 10m, 4 Blue Mountains Classic Mon 24th Apr 2017
Absolutely delightful and fun route. Still a few loose pebbles at the top, but an excellent and easy slab to practise a range of skills.

 
10 Hesitation Sport 15m Blue Mountains Good Sat 26th Jan 2013
Fair at 10, though bolts stupidly fair apart for a beginner lead - do Jug City or Fucary Rug instead.

 
10 Willow - with Jackie Charles Sport 8m, 5 Blue Mountains Very Good Mon 24th Apr 2017
Lovely moves. Still a little dirty but will clean up nicely. Just watch some loose dirt and pebbles on the ledge. Fun!

 
9 J Meister Sport 8m, 4 Blue Mountains Very Good Sat 22nd Sep 2012
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 Blue Mountains Very Good Sat 22nd Sep 2012
Ultimate beginners lead. Thanks to Sam and Baz. Bolts galore, and an awesome little slab!!

 
4 Kaboomba Brothers - with Scott Kelly, Josh Khoo Sport 10m, 4 Blue Mountains Good Sat 1st Dec 2018
Good! More like a 10 but a nice short climb with nice moves. Start is the 'hard' bit.

 
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).

 
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.

 
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.

 
20 Duckling Sport 12m, 4 Blue Mountains Good Thu 25th Jan 2018
Feel this is 21 and the 21 beside it is easier. Short but good climbing.

 
19 Country Special - with Blue Mountains Orangutan Sport 18m Blue Mountains Very Good Wed 30th Sep 2015
19 Mike and Lorna go to Town - with Jara Sport 25m, 6 Blue Mountains Very Good Fri 4th Mar 2016
Really nice.
