Trackside Boulders Jungle Boulder | ||||||
V6 | ★★ Conga Fury VAR | 3m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Hard! Felt close in difficulty to Conga Fury, although I imagine it would be easier the more of it you could do with your foot on the ledge down low. Good problem, worthy of a better name!

Trackside Boulders Glass Half MT Boulder | ||||||
V8 ~V6 | ★ Bad Moon Rising — 7 attempts | 4m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Bad Moon Rising V6. I tried this on three visits and it felt doable but the first move was super low percentage for me...
Realised if I moved my left hand one palm width to the left, I could control the deadpoint to the right hand sloper.
Good problem!

Trackside Boulders Darjeeling Express Boulders | ||||||
V7 ~V5 | ★ Beverly Hills Cop — 4 attempts | 2m | ★★★ Classic | |||
This is an ace problem! Why make such a good line an eliminate? Just downgrade it to 5 and climb it how it makes sense to you.
I found the first move pretty tough. |
||||||
Thu 8th Feb 2024 - Flat Rock | ||||||
Epsilon Wall Bouldering | ||||||
V5 Easy | ★★ Encore | 6m | ★★ Very Good | |||
If you're struggling to send Damsel (V3), try this instead. Good movement on good holds, and possibly an easy tick at the grade.
|
||||||

Trackside Boulders Amazing Boulder | ||||||
V5 | ★ The V5 Sit — 5 attempts | 4m | ★ Good | |||
Three tries one way, then changed my beta.
Good right foot, right hand undercling to start. Left hand up to slopey pinch on face, roll over right foot and up to right hand sloper/jug. Good!

V6 ~V4 | ★ Pocket Pusher - with Campbell Collins-McBride | 3m | ★★ Very Good | |||
This is like when Faux Magnum in Andersens was accidently graded V5 for a while and a bunch of people suddenly recorded their first V5s.
This one is maybe hard 4, definitely not 6. A great problem though, regardless!

Nice, grippy rock and good gear (if you're comfy placing gear in apparent loose blocks).
|

8 | ★ Sylvia's Folly - with JD | 8m | ★★ Very Good | |||
This is ace for an 8, good climbing on good rock with bomber big gear!
I'm sure I've been on this in the old days... maybe on top rope. |

Tue 4th Apr 2023 - Morialta | ||||||
The Boulder Bridge | ||||||
11 ~10 | ★ Big Sham - with JD | 14m | ★★ Very Good | |||
This is quality route for the grade at this crag - interesting climbing with decent gear. The biggest challenge is getting a run at it while there aren't any guided groups hanging off a top-rope on it.
Gave me a demo of how unfit I am these days! |
||||||
8 ~7 | ★ Leprosy - with JD | 15m | ★ Good | |||
First route back climbing since having a hip replacement. The gear is there but it helps if you like flaring cracks. The rock on this route is pretty decent, probably because it gets so much guided group traffic.
