22 Cheeze for the Geeze Sport 11m, 5 Very Good

Thu 23rd Apr 2020 - Mt Ninderry
Octopuses Garden
22 Yellow Submarine Sport 15m, 7 Average
The start two bolts is some of the worst climbing I have ever done. Redeemed slightly by the cool stemming crux. The top is just a test in rock quality reading.

Wed 6th Dec 2017 - Waterval Boven
Tranquilitas The God No Wall
24 Freak On Sport 12 Mega Classic
A fight! Happy to pull through and get the Onsight. My thoughts on the grades. I think they align almost exactly with Australian grades, at least up to grade 24. After that there is an evident difference in the grades. This would be 24 in Australia any day of the week.

Sun 10th Apr 2016 - Flinders Peak (limited access)
The Secret Cave
22 Never Ask the Moon Sport 25m, 8 Good

Black Stump Buttresses
22 Oniondated Sport 10m, 3 Average
Didn't enjoy this much. Found the second bolt very hard to clip, although after talking to the first ascentionist I realise I may have taken the wrong line of climbing. Might be nicer when it is less sandy.
