Just such a lovely climb. Finally climbed direct to the anchors

Blackheath Area Shipley Upper Sandwiches Wall
13 Pompadour - with Scott Kelly Sport 15m, 10 Very Good
Good climb! A lot more bolts than the 13 on neighbouring grey slab. Techy up high!

Thompson's Point Sloth Area
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.

Blackheath Area Shipley Upper Grey Slab
21 20 Nude Tuesday - with Adrian Kladnig Sport 20m Very Good
Really great thin but friction-y 21 climbing. Spaced bolts, 1 runout on genuinely easy ground. Eases off when you need it to.

 
Mon 22nd Jun 2020 - Blue Mountains
Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd Bell Supercrag Duck Wall
21 Duck Tits - with Adrian Kladnig, rickau Sport 16m Very Good
So good.

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

12 The Eyrie - with Scott Kelly
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 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.

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

 
Sat 1st Dec 2018 - Blue Mountains
Medlow Bath The Sunbath
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.

Mon 11th Jun 2018 - Blue Mountains
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.

 
Sun 20th May 2018 - Blue Mountains
Mount Victoria Area Mount York Mezzaluna Area
16 Mezzaluna - with jayden rouse Sport 25m, 8 Classic
One of the giant stainless quick clips at top getting really worn, getting close to sharp-edges-on-rope status. Wish I had stuff to do it myself on me. Still one of the best 16s around, and a gorgeous classic. Meanders around the bolts quite a bit.

19 I'd Rather Be Sailing Mixed trad 28m, 6 Very Good
Found more gear placements this time and Sean found an extra one... not so runout at the bottom now but still a long way between up high... though there's a break for a 4/5 cam up top.

 
Sat 22nd Jul 2017 - Berowra
Blackboard Wall
17 Yesterday's Heroes - with Siderunner, Agustin Avila Sport 12m, 4 Good
It ain't the top that's thin, it's the start. Plenty of decent holds up top. Bottom is manageable, just quite bouldery to make good use of the holds that are gradually disappearing... 18s on Bullet Hole wall or the 15, 16, 18 on Pimple Buttress are better warmups.

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..."

 
Sun 14th Jul 2013 - Nowra
Thompson's Point Descent Gully Walls
23 20 Layoff Sport 15m, 7 Good
Good climb, but waaaay too full on for 20. If you've got small finger for tiny slopy crimps you could call it 22, for your average person I'd say a 23. Some great moves though, and the jugs up high... not so juggy and keep you working. off the ground very bouldery but fun

 
Fri 19th Apr 2013 - Blue Mountains
Mount Victoria Area The Soft Parade The Right Hand End
17 Double Decker Disco Sport 14m Very Good
Cool techy slab. Great effort Barry! No giveaway. Found it a bit full-on for 17, but maybe I missed some things. Gave it some more scrubbing

 
18 Organic Donkey Milk Products Climb # 1 Sport 12m, 9 Good
Cool techy 18, needed a bit of brushing but it'll get better with a few more people on it, as with many of these climbs. Very generous bolting, thanks Mitch!!

Blackheath Area Porters Pass Chasing Amy Wall
22 Spread 'em Baby Sport 25m Very Good
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.

 
Sat 23rd Mar 2013 - Blue Mountains
Mount Victoria Area Bardens Lookout Historic Wells
20 Statistical Scare Tactics Sport 15m Very Good
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!

 
Sat 16th Mar 2013 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Porters Pass La La Land Area
22 Shocking Pocket Monster Sport 15m Good
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!

 
Sat 2nd Mar 2013 - Blue Mountains

Wow, great moves, definitely thin, definitely techy, but wow.

22 Progress Comes to Shitsville Sport 10m, 6 Classic
Really good climb, reeeeeeeally arkward but cool crux. Learnt a lot. Laybacks and weird foot placements are so much easier for me now!

Blackheath Area Shipley Upper Sandwiches Wall
22 These People are Sandwiches Sport 15m Mega Classic
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!

Blackheath Area Centennial Glen Woodpecker Wall
22 Duracell Bunny (Duracell Bunny (aka Milky Jugs)) Sport 15m Crap
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.

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...

One reachy move, can go up or left. Took a bit of figuring out.

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

 
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.

Start to 1st bolt a lot harder than 18, then very fair after that. 22 start? Thin 22? Great top section

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.

15 McStagger Sport 15m, 6 Good
Gaining wall is 20-ish of you're short. Batmanning one move off stick-clipped bolt for shorties keeps it at 15. Good climb.

18 Stephen Grunter Sport 10m, 5 Good
Strenuous cause of the mantles, not a good warm up, but technically fair at 18. Very grunty though. I liked it, but then I'm into that sort of thing

 
Sat 15th Oct 2011 - Nowra
Thompson's Point Sloth Area
20 Sidetrack Sport 18m, 7 Very Good
Greta climb, fiesty start off boulder, I don't hink it's easy for 20 at all. Crux is reachy for shorties, but then real shorties can get foothold that I can't get and it's easier....
