|
||||||
Thu 27th Jan 2011 - Mount Buffalo | ||||||
The Horn Area The Horn | ||||||
12 | ★ The Pintle Variant Start | 20m | Average | |||
This is 12?? Clearly Buffalo and I dont understand each other yet...
|
||||||
Wed 26th Jan 2011 - Mount Buffalo | ||||||
The Hump Area Ariel Buttress | ||||||
14 | Spank The Cat | 18m | Average | |||
A bit of chimneying and a hand traverse. Trad anchor in moss. Not worth the walk down, though - rap rings, anyone?

Wed 29th Dec 2010 - Blue Mountains | ||||||
Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd The Dam Cliffs Wet Feet Area | ||||||
17 | ★★ Wet Feet | 14m | ★★★ Classic | |||
The traverse on thin feet across 3 bolts 1m above the creek is great - especially knowing that there's the added punishment of an unexpected dip if you blow it.
|
||||||
Tue 28th Dec 2010 - Blue Mountains | ||||||

Wed 24th Nov 2010 - Blue Mountains | ||||||
Mount Victoria Area Mount Piddington Slape Area | ||||||
16 | ★★★ The Spartan | 50m, 4 | ★ Good | |||
