Mon 24th Apr 2023 - Nowra
The Grotto Cliffline The Grotto Proper
19 Alien Space Monsters Sport 25m, 9 Very Good
Interesting position on the arete. There are a couple of no fall zones on this.

 
17 L'Arch Sport 16m, 5 Very Good
Interesting movement and features

 
Sun 12th Mar 2023 - Mt Coree area
Mount Coree Wind Wall
19 Jerusalem Sport 25m, 8 Mega Classic
One of the best 19's I have ever climbed. Perfect movement the whole way with a bit of spice at times.

 
Fri 10th Mar 2023 - New Nowra - Braidwood Road
Tianjara Falls Indian Head (north) Impressionist Wall
18 Hard Working Woes of a Worried Wombat Sport 28m Classic
Tricky climb, the top corner is amazing rock and hard to read. Really had to think about the movement whilst climbing.

 
Fri 10th Mar 2023 - New Nowra - Braidwood Road
Tianjara Falls Bill James Testimonial Gully
18 Mustard Sport 30m, 11 Very Good
Great position and interesting climbing.

 
21 Chicken Lips Sport 18m, 7 Classic
What a climb! Diverse movement and great features

 
17 ~19 Occasional Dream Sport 30m, 9
This gets 19 in the guide, I agree. This again is strangely bolted. Starts just right of gilead on an awkward corner feature. Hot in the sun.

 
18 Gilead Sport 30m, 10 Classic
Great climbing. Far left climb. Strange bolting in this area, hard to follow where the lines go because the bolts dont always follow the obvious climbing. This was probably the best climb on this wall.

 
Wed 1st Mar 2023 - Mt Coree area
Hollywood
20 Chilled Left Eyeball Sport 10m Good
Pumpy as a warm up, the sequence isn’t obvious.

Tue 30th Aug 2022 - Nowra
Thompson's Point Vine Wall
22 Donkey Dong Sport 20m, 10 Very Good
Great steep pulling. Bit much for a warm up but managed to find the right sequence.

 
Sat 19th Mar 2022 - Mt Coree area
Lost Vegas Main walls
23 Spliff Odyssey Sport 32m Very Good
Some hard to read sections. No chalk which made it an interesting onsight.

 
19 Cupola Sport 25m, 12 Classic
One of the more interesting 19's I have ever climbed. Scary and adventurous,

 
21 Loosen Up Children Sport 25m, 10 Very Good
Some great moves on this!

 
Thu 30th Dec 2021 - Blue Mountains
Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd Cosmic County Area The Freezer
24 Unity (Rat$ Direct) Sport 25m Very Good
Made the start way harder than it needed to be by going left and missing some obvious holds. Almost botched the start. The top corner feature is great to climb and quite technical.

 
19 Absolute Zero Sport 23m, 5 Average
Some suspect rock on this one and one runout that seems out of character to the rest of the climb

 
Wed 29th Dec 2021 - Blue Mountains
Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd Bell Supercrag The Blowhole
22 Blow Sport 10m, 7 Very Good
22 Blow Over Sport 20m Very Good
Nice climbing

22 Rocky Road Sport 15m Good
The top is a bit chossy but pretty good climbing

 
21 Who the Fuck is Keith Sport 15m, 8 Very Good
Nice warm up.

 
24 Snappy Dresser Sport 15m Classic
Happy to onsight this, first day back in the mountains in 6 years! Had to commit to the mono clip and then keep the pump in check for the rest of the route.

 
Mon 29th Nov 2021 - Mt Coree area
Hollywood
23 Bombs Away Pretzel Boy Sport 6m, 4 Good
Some fun moves. Crumbly rock and seeping near the anchor.

 
Sun 31st Oct 2021 - New Nowra - Braidwood Road
Tianjara Falls The Corner Store
21 Yak My Nuggets Sport 22m, 10 Don't Bother
Dangerous with ledge fall potential most of the climb. Wouldn't bother.

 
23 Boulet Frit Left Hand Start Sport 22m, 10 Classic
Decided to do the left hand start considering the direct has had a hold break recently, glad I made this choice. Draws on onsight. Classic face climbing with no rest until near the top, and then still some hard moves after that. Happy to squeak in the onsight.

 
Sun 31st Oct 2021 - New Nowra - Braidwood Road
Tianjara Falls Drop bear wall
21 Drop Bears Do Exist Sport 20m, 9 Classic
Love this climb, varied with some great jugs at the top.

 
Sun 27th Jun 2021 - New Nowra - Braidwood Road
Tianjara Falls Chunders Glenn - Lower Wall
17 Roger the Rhino Sport 22m Good
Should probably just share the final bolt of the route to its right rather than having a bolt half a meter away. Ok climbing.

 
18 Roger the Hippo Sport 22m Very Good
19 Maurice the Fart Freak Sport 25m Classic
Classic long route, interesting the whole way.

 
Sun 27th Jun 2021 - New Nowra - Braidwood Road
Tianjara Falls Drop bear wall
21 Heebie Jeebies Sport 30m, 12 Classic
Awesome climbing, some fragile rock which should clean up in time.

23 Talking with the Tax Man Sport 8m, 4 Good
Sharp warmup! Probably a bit much for a warm up.

 
Sat 22nd Aug 2020 - Mt Ninderry
The Eastern Seaboard
21 The Mariana Trench Sport 12m, 4 Very Good
Really enjoyed this one. Bouldery start to exposed and wild finish. Nice.

 
Thu 23rd Apr 2020 - Mt Ninderry
Octopuses Garden
20 I am the Walrus Sport 12m, 6 Good
Tricky at the top. Bummer the quality of rock isnt so crash hot near the anchor, spoils an otherwise great route.

 
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.

 
Mon 2nd Mar 2020 - Mt Tibrogargan
South Face
17 Traxion Action - with Carrie Doyle Sport 210m Very Good
Lovely to get out on the mountain on a beautiful day. Haven’t done a multi in years. This one is nice! First pitch has a couple of awkward moves but altogether is very fun. The final pitch (8) is actually pretty fun although short and you need to sling a big boulder to belay your second up.

We started at 7:30am and didn’t hit the sun until the final pitch.

 
Wed 20th Jun 2018 - Mt Ninderry
Octopuses Garden
16 Bruce Sport 12m, 6 Average
Interesting. Bolts can be a little hard to find but they are all in logical spots.

 
19 Nemo Sport 12m, 5 Good
Fun! Good addition to the wall.

 
23 22 Waterline Sport 10m, 4 Very Good
Tricky to onsight; the rock is hard to read and holds are hidden. Great route!

 
Thu 17th May 2018 - Pages Pinnacle
21 TOS Extension Sport 19m, 13 Very Good
Climbed TOS and decided to continue up this. I liked it! Technical.

 
23 Yule Tide Sport 18m, 9 Average
Top is great as everyone has said. Bottom two bolts are good fun too! Be mindful on the runout after the third.

 
Fri 11th May 2018 - Kangaroo Point

Damn good! Continuous and pumpy.

 
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.

 
Wed 6th Dec 2017 - Waterval Boven

23 Dreamers Sport 11 Classic
Techy overhung corner.

Last year at some point. Forgot to log.

 
Thu 11th May 2017 - Dwarfland
18 Nadir Sport 10m, 3 Very Good
Climbs way better than it looks. Could do with a shuffle of bolts, and an addition of another. Not really an 18 for a beginner. Take care.

 
Sun 16th Apr 2017 - Mt Ngungun
Andromeda
18 Southern Cross Sport 20m, 4 Average
The direct start is tricky and fun. Probably worth stickclipping.

 
Sun 10th Apr 2016 - Flinders Peak (limited access)
The Secret Cave
23 Finger Tips and Mountain Tops Sport 25m, 11 Very Good
Nice left trending line. Way longer than I thought it would be. Getting to anchor was a little confusing, I did a low traverse into the corner to get to it.

 
22 Never Ask the Moon Sport 25m, 8 Good
A little too sharp and not continuous enough to be anything too good. Still fun though!

 
Fri 8th Apr 2016 - Flinders Peak (limited access)

Nice warm up! It's hard so see where to go, making it interesting for sure!
