Sat 27th May 2017 - The Cathedral
Main Crag
17 Ozone Action - with Demetrius Mixed trad 20m, 3 Classic
Lead it this time, late in day and not so gracefully. Fantastic climbing!

 
16 Neuron Nerd - with Demetrius Sport 8m, 3 Average
Chossy, ok

 
20 Bundy's been bolting - with Demetrius Sport 15m, 6 Good
Fun climbing but dogged last two moves so didn't really earn it.

 
19 Wacky Tabacci - with Demetrius Sport 25m, 8 Classic
Enjoying the memory more than the climb itself. Has to be done, but what a mind game! I top roped it and didn't sit on the rope, but not sure I could've actually lead it - very mental! Sustained and strenuous on the legs and ankles. Definitely wear pants. Once you start finding holds 2/3s up, starts getting quite enjoyable. Loose-sounding, visibly flexy thin flakes abound. Enjoy!

 
Sun 26th Mar 2017 - The Cathedral
Main Crag
17 Ozone Action - with Demetrius, MFC Mixed trad 20m, 3 Classic
Fantastic climbing the whole way up and variety of different climbing styles exercised! Down low the crux, lay backing and jamming left foot in flake. Above the bulge, plenty of small steps and comes more down to matching and using feet in an intelligent way. Definitely deserves classic status!

 
16 Cosmic Cruncher - with Demetrius, MFC Sport 8m Very Good
Tasty warm up. Short but sustained. Bit damp on some holds but there's been a lot of rain. Thought it was a great little climb!

20 19 The Count - with MFC Sport 9m, 3 Very Good
Holds are good up to the crux above the third bolt. Leap of faith move required to move beyond there. Excellent fun!

Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd The Dam Cliffs Creek Boulder
14 Up the Creek - with MFC Sport 15m, 6 Very Good

17 Vintage CuvƩe - with jarad Sport 15m, 4 Classic
Easy first two bolts. Corner is so fun, classic status. Last bulge (from final ubolt to the anchor bolts) is the crux, prob more an 18 move. Very fun climb!

 
15 Sideline Jack - with jarad Sport 14m, 6 Very Good
Nice fun quality rock. Crux coming out of the overhang, awkward move. A tough 15.

Point Clare Crag
13 Disco cheese grater - with MFC Sport 15m, 6 Very Good
Crux at very beginning. After that, great fun the whole way up w an undercling and a couple easy mantle sections. Take plenty of bolt plates (we were short and had to keep downclimbing) - think i must've counted 8 or so...? A rope protector would've been handy too for how the anchor is set up.

 
17 They're everywhere - with MFC Sport 10m, 5 Classic
Bit of everything in this for such a short climb - Satisfying overhang w great jugs to begin, balancy slab in the middle and just when you don't know where to go next, there's a miracle right-hand hold at the end of your reach. Similar impression to a gym route which someone has put some thought into building, with the added bonus of fresh air!

 
Sun 11th Sep 2016 - Bangor West
14 Get Tracked - with MFC Trad 11m Very Good
Fun climb. Noticably easier than Andrew's Bulge.

 
13 Zulu Trainer - with MFC Sport 10m, 2 Good
Fun climb. Dodgy-looking carrots at top for belay down. I wandered to the right at the top and belayed off next route's bolts.

 
13 Whippersnapper - with MFC Sport 8m, 3 Very Good
Excellent warm up. Tricky start (for a 13).

 
13 Nana in the dark - with MFC Sport 8m, 3 Very Good
Longer and easier than Whippersnapper. Great holds and feet the whole way up.

 
17 Grandma's Wheelchair Direct - with MFC Sport 10m Very Good
Overhang start with solid holds. Great for early overhang experience, actually. Satisfying.

 
16 Grandma's Wheelchair - with MFC Sport 10m, 4 Very Good
Tricky start. Easier as you go up. Very enjoyable, short, little climb.

 
17 The Whorl - with MFC Sport 10m, 3 Classic
Challenging start. Sustained. Favourite climb of our day - definitely deserves classic status.

 
16 15 Andrew's Bulge - with MFC Sport 8m, 3 Very Good
Great fun. Take a 240cm sling for lower off as bolts are a fair way back from the edge.

16 Why Am I Here? - with MFC Sport 10m, 5 Good
Crux is the (bare) footwork in the first metres. Second half is good fun!

 
15 The God Delusion - with MFC Sport 8m, 5 Average
Little damp. The crux is the footwork leading up to the first bolt. Great run to break in our new gear!

Trad 75m Average
Walk in is beautiful. Pretty easy climb, great for starting out trad. Careful of loose stones tumbling down the chute. The short, first pitch is also known as Bog Pitch.

14 MaƱana - with Tom WYnne Sport 22m, 8 Very Good
One of my early leads. Relatively easy because holds are great the whole way up, but there's a bit of endurance involved.
