	14	★ 100' Slab Most Direct Variant	Unknown 16m	To be deleted	★ Good	Fri 7th May 2010
Two bolts in 50m on a slab that makes Tarana slabs look easy. This isn't a soft climb and is actually a separate route from 100 ft slab which is on the grade.

Trad
	20 19	★ The Wind Cries Mary	Mixed trad 180m, 25	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Sun 23rd Oct 2011
Scary crumbly. Climbing is good fun, but the variable rock quality made it a tense journey. Almost brained Kiji with a boulder and vice versa. The route will improve with age.

	5.7	★★ Zee Tree	Mixed trad 220m, 14	Yosemite National Park	★★★ Classic	Mon 29th Aug 2011
Great 5-pitch slab route. Pity you have to carry a rack all the way up 4 pitches to lead the final lieback pitch. Still , very nice. Me P1, 2, 4, 5. Claire P 3.

	18	★★★ On Both Sides of the Glass Direct	Mixed trad 60m, 10	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Fri 30th Apr 2010

The result of a clusterfuck that worked out well. If it were a sport climb it'd be called a link-up.

	17	★ A Good Day to be a Duck	Mixed trad 24m, 4	Blue Mountains	Don't Bother	Sun 8th Jul 2012
Borrowed trad gear and hauled it up to the ledge to finish this route. Needs a bolt at the start and either rings on the ledge or another bolt or two on the headwall. Route is listed as sport carrots in the 2010 guide. Defnitely needs gear.
	18	★ Sparrow	Mixed trad 18m, 4	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Sun 28th Oct 2012
Rebolted 2012. Plenty of gear now. Take a nut for start and a four friend for halfway up. Sure it's lost it's death route spice but the route is now safe for those without a deathwish. Thanks Glenn S!
	17	★★ Neptune	Mixed trad 15m, 4	Point Perpendicular	★★ Very Good	Sat 22nd Mar 2014
	18	★★ Vox Populi	Mixed trad 15m, 4	Mount Alexandra	★★★ Classic	Sat 25th Feb 2006

	20	★★★ Solomon	Mixed trad 51m, 4	Blue Mountains	★★★ Mega Classic	Sun 9th Oct 2011

	18	★ Sparrow	Mixed trad 18m, 4	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Sun 18th Mar 2012
Yeah it's scary: pull the crux before the first bolt. Engrossing climbing. Protection is not adequate.
	18	★★★ Mirrorman	Mixed trad 90m, 4	Wolgan Valley	★★★ Classic	Sun 10th Jun 2012
Led all 4 pitches. Varied route that is surprisingly slabby. Top pitch is stellar. Climbed with Su Li Sin.
	19	★ Post Modern Girl	Mixed trad 18m, 4	Blue Mountains	Average	Sun 17th Apr 2011
Rick led it. I climbed on the 'draws. Sure I've onsighted this...

Karni P1 to the ring and bolt belay. me p2 to the top. Nice way of doing it without needing to go into the cave - just climb around the outside.
