15 Bum Crack - with Liz Sport 9m, 3
Good climb. Steep but juggy.

 
15 Deathwalker - with Liz Sport 10m, 3
First bolt is quite high. Feels committing to pull out of the cave with no gear clipped. Nice steep juggy upper section.

Led alternate pitches. Climbed quickly to the pitch above the rescue bin, then caught up with a couple of parties.

 
Sun 27th Nov 2022 - Boomerang
Boomerang Slabs
13 ~14 Shield Sport 20m Average
Couldn’t find the fixed hangers in the description but did find two carrots. If 13 is your lead grade, this could feel bold. Take two extra bolt plates for the anchors.

 
14 ~15 Nulla Nulla Sport 20m Good
The anchors are the same as for Woomera. Easy ground at the top but quite a long way from the last bolt.

 
15 ~16 Woomera Sport 20m
Quite run out from the last bolt to the anchors.

 
17 Hunting Spear Sport 20m Very Good
Pleasant slab. Not much harder than the “15”. Anchors set back from the top but on easy terrain.

 
19 Boomerang Sport 20m Very Good
Not particularly run out. Felt pretty well protected. A relatively easy start leads to harder moves passing the last bolts. The anchors are set back a little but the final section is very easy terrain.

 
Sat 19th Nov 2022 - Elanora Heights
Heist Wall
17 Hard Broject - with Emilio Carreto Sport 10m, 7 Good
Trickier than I expected passing the last bolt.

18 Japan15 - with Peter Melouney, Aurora Pandora, Michael Edenborough, Michelle, amy Sport 12m
Some big moves through steep ground. Fun stuff.

 
20 Gushing Shins - with Peter Melouney, Aurora Pandora, Michael Edenborough, Michelle, amy Sport 13m, 4
Another thin start, followed by the move that gets the climb it name where you make a high step on good holds then a couple of poor handholds before the difficulties ease off.

 
19 Viva La Papa - with Peter Melouney, Aurora Pandora, Michael Edenborough, Michelle, amy Sport 15m, 5
Started up Lurch initially then realised my error and traversed into Viva La Papa for the lovely climbing in the upper section. Great route

 
17 Vintage Cuvée - with Peter Melouney, Aurora Pandora, Michael Edenborough, Michelle, amy Sport 15m, 4
Pleasant climb. Dramatic feel to the swing right at the top, then an improbable looking move off the break that turns out to be ok.

 
15 Sideline Jack - with Peter Melouney, Aurora Pandora, Michael Edenborough, Michelle, amy Sport 14m, 6
Juggy fun.

 
Sat 30th Jul 2022 - Elanora Heights

West Flank
20 Nuclear Wasteland Sport 25m, 7
A little technical from bolt 2 to 3, then easing off to a juggy upper section.

Same start as Nuclear Wasteland then a similar juggy upper section.

Mon 3rd Jan 2022 - Blue Mountains
Mount Victoria Area New York West (Left) Side
15 Spoonbender - with Rob Sport 12m, 7 Good
Hard start for the grade, no doubt getting harder as the ground at the base erodes. Pleasant and easy after the start.

Pimple Buttress
19 Petroglyph - with Al Bradley, Pazi, martina, Michael Edenborough, Michelle, Rasto, Peter Melouney, Tom, Emily Sport 8m, 2 Average
A little contrived, squeezed in between the adjacent climbs.

 
17 Abe Simpson - with Al Bradley, Pazi, martina, Michael Edenborough, Michelle, Rasto, Peter Melouney, Tom, Emily Sport 10m, 5 Good
Not 17. It shares the start crux moves of Pimple which is 20 so something doesn't add up.

 
Sun 16th May 2021 - Blue Mountains
Medlow Bath The Sunbath
19 Burger Boys Sport 10m, 5 Good
Quite small crimps at the crux. Steeper than it looks

Fri 23rd Apr 2021 - Blue Mountains
Mount Victoria Area Mount Piddington Eternity Area
20 Neil Diamond Syndrome - with Michael Edenborough Sport 25m
17 Café Racer - with Michael Edenborough Sport 18m, 5
The upper arete is a little intimidating for the grade, with well-spaced bolts - but turns out to be OK when you commit to the moves.

 
Fri 9th Apr 2021 - Sloop Reef Point
V1 V1 Face Boulder 3m Good
