Really good! Climbs well, fair for the grade, and crux at the top. Interesting and well bolted

Good climb! A lot more bolts than the 13 on neighbouring grey slab. Techy up high!

18 Everything But The Wasp - with Adrian Kladnig Sport 25m Very Good
This is 18 now? Haven't climbed it in a long time, was always the "pumpy 16". 18 seems fair though. Not many rests, quite pumpy though no hard moves. Bit runout on bottom slab. No wonder I was terrified as a beginner back in the day! Good climbing, but if you want closer bolts, just go next climb to the right

 
18 Resurrection of Rick Roller - with Adrian Kladnig Sport 30m, 10 Very Good
Really nice. More rests and bolts than EBTW. Hero finish at overhung jugs. Lovely.

Sport 80m, 45 Very Good
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.

 
Fri 28th May 2021 - Blue Mountains
Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd Bowens Creek The Dog Pound
19 18 Nasty When Cornered - with Adrian Kladnig Sport 10m Good
Bit pumpy and bouldery for 18, but good at 19 methinks. Nice climbing just pumpy and short-ish. Cold warmup!

23 Reigning Steel - with Adrian Kladnig Sport 17m, 7 Very Good
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.

Burly start which can be done moderately gracefully and quickly. Then very consistent moderate pump. Lovely to do the warmup I usually flash pump on clean and relaxed today

24 Rhubarb Crumble - with Adrian Kladnig Sport 15m, 7 Classic
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

Really great thin but friction-y 21 climbing. Spaced bolts, 1 runout on genuinely easy ground. Eases off when you need it to.

22 Seamstress - with Adrian Kladnig, rickau Sport 22m, 10 Classic
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.

Repeat, clean (just). Such a good climb, so much pump!

 
17 How Much Is A Duck Worth - with Adrian Kladnig, rickau Sport 15m Very Good
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.

1 12 30m lead by Tim Clarkson
2 12 15m lead by Tim Clarkson
Mixed trad 45m, 3 Classic
Great to get on this classic and lead the whole thing! 2nd pitch not nearly as runout when tou can head round the arete! Last time 70km/hr winds kept me away from all the good holds and chicken heads... this time was super comfy with a carrot just when you need it before the top. 1st pitch can be made better protected, but you might need double ropes to get all the good gear. Easy and obvious climbing though.

 
Mon 7th Oct 2019 - Blue Mountains
Mount Victoria Area Bardens Lookout Little Triggers Wall
21 Dr Do Little - with Adrian Kladnig Sport 15m Very Good
Great climbing. Others found ways to make the crux easier than i did today

 
17 Monkey Girl - with Adrian Kladnig Sport 23m Very Good
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.

Leura Sublime Point West Face (Main Area) Middle Cliffs Binary Cave
21 19 Birthday Bolts (Birthday Bolts direct) - with Adrian Kladnig Sport 20m, 9 Very Good
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!

 
Mon 16th Sep 2019 - Blue Mountains
Leura Sublime Point West Face (Main Area) Middle Cliffs Binary Cave
18 Please Dry - with Adrian Kladnig Sport 12m, 5 Very Good
Really great moves, some bouldery up high with jugs and poor feet.

 
21 Whimsical - with Adrian Kladnig Sport 12m, 6 Very Good
Balancy thin crux. Love this one.

 
20 Rock Snob - with Adrian Kladnig Sport 12m, 4 Very Good
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.

 
21 Socially Inept - with Adrian Kladnig Sport 12m, 4 Very Good
Great climbing, thin goey crux

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

 
18 Little Jug of Happiness (Little Jug of Happiness P1) - with Adrian Kladnig

Lovely! Sandy for 2 bolts then great. Cruisy, not much of a crux.

23 Weak as I am - with Adrian Kladnig Sport 22m, 13 Classic
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.

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

 
18 The Bandoline Grip - with Adrian Kladnig Sport 18m, 6 Very Good
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.

Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd Cosmic County Area Cosmic County Memory Lane
21 Barefoot in the Head - with Adrian Kladnig Mixed trad 30m, 6 Very Good
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...

 
18 The 80 Minute Hour Mixed trad 30m, 4 Classic
Amazing climbing, feels like superhero climbing for the grade up the arete over space. Took a couple of goes to get the start on top rope, but later watched others do it much more gracefully... if unsure, you can always traverse in from the ledge, get 1st cam in, then start again

Quite good and interesting. Just more bouldery, reachy and tenuous than its 17 neighbour. A few friable holds, but quite manageable.

18 Crime & Medicine - with Adrian Kladnig Sport 15m Very Good

18 Lexical Density Sport 25m Very Good
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

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

Mount Victoria Area The Soft Parade The Right Hand End
17 Mita's Match - with Jackie Charles, Scott Kelly Sport 12m Good
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.

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

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

15 The Meaning Of Life - with Jackie Charles Sport 11m, 4 Very Good
Genuine slabbing, and good quality! Better and cleaner rock than some of the others nearby, great movement with small feet. Just wish it was longer:-)

 
12 Hillsong Brainwash Syndrome - with Jackie Charles Sport 11m, 3 Good
Good movement, just some friable edges and not amazing fall zones.... though if you're going to climb gr12 slab, I guess that's going to happen! Worthwhile, just watch what you step on. 2 ways to do the start, one is better for shorties.

 
13 Faaip De Oiad - with Jackie Charles Sport 12m, 4 Good
If you're under 170cm, 1st move is harder than 13, but doable. Otherise just mildly bouldery for 13, then easier. Great movement and interesting climbing. Bit dirty but manageable.

20 Strange Karma - with Scott Kelly, Josh Khoo Sport 15m Very Good
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.

 
17 Mainly Fine - with scott, Scott Kelly, Josh Khoo Sport 16m Good
Cleaning up an old flounder around. Definitely at the stiff end of 17 as some of the holds have snapped or lost edges over time. A worthwhile apprenticeship in slopers, sequences and figuring it all out (still safely) above the bolt. A lot of technique in a short space. Choice of starts: hauling up arete vs crimp traverse in from the 18. About same difficulty.

 
19 Poultry in Motion Sport 15m, 6 Classic
19 Poultry in Motion - with Scott Kelly, Josh Khoo Sport 15m, 6 Classic
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.

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

 
Wed 24th Oct 2018 - The Woolwash
The Junkyard Cave
22 Lady Ger-Ger - with Brent Sport 15m, 6 Classic
I really rate this route, definitely AFTER I figured out the crux at 2nd bolt. Went from pulling on the bolt and utterly perplexed to not-pumped-at-the-anchors in 4 shots. Crux requires just the right beta to take out 50% of the effort, and big pulls between jugs up top are fun and glorious.

22 Jack Spaniel - with Brent Sport 14m, 6 Very Good
Quality climbing with a bouldery technical crux straight off the ground, and interesting moves all the way to the top. Couple of not so obvious sequences. Fair for 22 if you consider that crux is the first 5 moves. Great climb.

This flows really well once you figure out which alternate middle or finish you're doing. Left most start, traverse, right most finish up crimps with good feet

Nothing wrong with it and decent warmup, just a bit arkward and "oh, is that where I'm going?"

23 24 Cyrus The Virus (Osiris) - with Brent Sport 15m, 8 Very Good
4th shot! Really quality climbing and a powerful 23, but good beta and knowing when to stop and when to go really helps. Good movement even when having to climb around the seepage (but embrace 1 wet jug). Wiping my hand was the crux! Highly rate this one.

Feather Wall
17 Feathers - with Brent Sport 18m, 8 Very Good
Lovely find-the-crimp problem with good feet. Runout a bit unnecessary, but is easy if balancy climbing. If 17 is an challenge maybe just toprope 1st.

17 Pluck the Duck - with Scott Kelly Sport 12m Very Good
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.

Blackheath Area Shipley Upper Sandwiches Wall
13 Pompadour - with Scott Kelly Sport 15m, 10 Classic
Really excellent at the grade with enough to make you think, but very fair and sportingly bolted for 13 - a 13 that grade 13 climbers will enjoy.
