Wed 24th Apr 2024 - New Nowra - Braidwood Road
Tianjara Falls Bill James Testimonial Gully
15 Mythical Tomatoes Mixed trad 30m, 11
Definitely no harder than 15, would be way better led on gear

Stacks Bluff
21 Aqualung - with Bonnie
1 15 Trad
2 21 Trad lead by Bonnie

5.10a Cooke Booke P1 - with Bonnie

Very nice little dome

 
Fri 21st Jul 2023 - Yosemite National Park
Tuolumne Meadows Olmstead Area Olmstead Canyon
5.10d Lord Caffeine - with Bonnie Trad 23m
First ascent after winter, first ascent at altitude. More gardening than climbing, and I bailed after the hard bit in need of air and water.

Yosemite Valley Yosemite Falls Lower Yosemite Falls Swan Slab
5.9 Lena's Lieback P1 - with Bonnie
1 80 ft Trad

Working the moves, feels very doable, even in the time I have left

 
Sat 24th Jun 2023 - Frog Buttress
West of the access track
22 Lonely Teardrops - with Gerard Trad 22m
Very nice

 
Sat 24th Jun 2023 - Frog Buttress

Quite nice although looking through the sun was a challenge

 
Sat 24th Jun 2023 - Frog Buttress
West of the access track
21 Conquistador - with Gerard Trad 45m Classic
Clean despite cleaning some pretty deep cams. Felt much easier this year.

 
21 ~20 The One That Got Away - with Gerard Trad 35m
Nice warm up. Certainly not 21

 
Sat 17th Jun 2023 - Frog Buttress
East of the access track

Fri 16th Jun 2023 - Frog Buttress
West of the access track
18 Gladiator Trad 20m
One way to get back into the swing. I really should have checked that the solo bag had chalk first though

 
Sat 27th May 2023 - Evans Crown
Deckout Buttress
19 Madonnas Trad 15m
I was disappointed. Expected hard, spicy, lichen slab, with questionable bolts. Got trivial slabbing with more bolts than necessary.

 
19 Save the Whale Mixed trad 10m, 1
A few goes to get the start, then cruisey

 
13 Deft Trad 8m
Quite nice, less lichen on this one

Nice

 
Sun 9th Apr 2023 - Blue Mountains
Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd Cosmic County Area Cosmic County Stateline Gully
20 Cosmed - with Bonnie Trad 15m
Depressingly Bluies: Easy once you abandon the pure crack ascent

 
Sun 9th Apr 2023 - Blue Mountains
Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd Cosmic County Area Cosmic County Memory Lane
18 TZ - with Bonnie Trad 30m
Quite nice once again

 
17 Interstate 31 - with Bonnie Trad 30m
Nice, cruisy climbing

 
Sun 5th Mar 2023 - Orroral area
Orroral Ridge Trojan Wall
23 Redshift - Blueshift Mixed trad 35m, 3
Rebolted. And largely brushed. Needs a bit more, and if anyone else gets on it before I get back to it (hahahaha) then you need a thinner diameter crab or two for the last bolt

 
Sun 12th Feb 2023 - Arapiles
King Rat Area King Rat Gully Left Fork
15 Scylla Trad 15m
Fun

 
Sun 12th Feb 2023 - Arapiles

Feels pretty feasible. Need to figure the gear, and then do it.

Quite nice, nearly worth doing properly

 
12 Shitty Nappies Trad 15m
Fun but contrived

 
Fri 10th Feb 2023 - Arapiles

Solo downclimb as darkness fell

 
Fri 10th Feb 2023 - Arapiles
The Watchtower Faces Left Watchtower Face

Quite nice, a bit hard to follow in a hurry

 
Wed 8th Feb 2023 - Arapiles
The Watchtower Faces Right Watchtower Face
10 ~10 Mantle Trad 90m
Softest 14 at araps? Trivial slabbing to get back to the top a touch after sunset

 
Wed 8th Feb 2023 - Arapiles
The Watchtower Faces The Watchtower
-- Mr Chicken Trad 20m
Finally did it. Came back via arachnus, I didn't need to do it twice

 
Wed 8th Feb 2023 - Arapiles
The Watchtower Faces Left Watchtower Face
12 Watchtower Chimney Mixed trad 110m, 1
Quite nice. Feels vaugely familiar. Maybe a second from the late 90s.

 
Wed 8th Feb 2023 - Arapiles
The Watchtower Faces Pinnacle Face Tiptoe Ridge Area

Somehow I've missed a pile of classics. No longer.

 
Sat 4th Feb 2023 - Arapiles
The Watchtower Faces Pinnacle Face Tiptoe Ridge Area
5 Tiptoe Ridge Trad 120m Very Good
Traditional at this point

The loose blocks made for an interesting moment

 
10 Aphrodite Trad 95m
Quite nice, once I found it

 
13 Golden Apples Trad 95m
I think I covered all of this ...

 
Fri 27th Jan 2023 - Bruny Island
Cloudy Bay Hidden Zawn Maelstrom Wall
21 Blue Devil Cracks - with Jon Trad 20m
Still took a few shots to get the crux. Have no power today

 
21 Blue Devil Cracks - with Jon Trad 20m
Hit the crux clean, but couldn't pull it. Retreat to cool down

 
Fri 27th Jan 2023 - Bruny Island
Cloudy Bay Hidden Zawn Beaufort Wall
21 Force 10 - with Jon Trad 45m
Quite nice, Apparently aurora hunting reduces ones ability to climb the next day. Who knew?

 
Sun 15th Jan 2023 - Freycinet National Park
Hazards Cliffs Star Factory
27 The Grand Adjudicator Trad 25m
More project shopping. Very nice, but feels pretty hard

 
Sat 14th Jan 2023 - Freycinet National Park
Hazards Cliffs Star Factory
28 Total Eclipse of the Heart Trad 20m
Interesting. I got every move, so it's all there if I have the time and motivation

 
Fri 6th Jan 2023 - Fortescue Bay
The Totem Pole
25 The Free Route P2 - with Bonnie
2 25 40m Trad
Mixed trad 40m, 8
The bolts need a replacement, and I need to do some face climbing again, rather than try this at the end of a year doing mostly cracks

 
24 Deep Play - with Bonnie Mixed trad 20m, 6
Fun. The rogue wave at the start wasn't exactly reassuring. And apparently it's been more than 6 months since I really pulled face moves.

 
Thu 29th Dec 2022 - Mount Wellington
The Organ Pipes Rockaway and Amphitheatre
20 Beast Trad 25m
Good fun, although a little dirty

 
21 Bella Donna Trad 30m
Good fun. One rest at the very damp crux

Great climbing, felt pretty easy but we'll have to see what reality says.

 
Sat 24th Dec 2022 - Ben Lomond
Stacks Bluff
14 Typhoon Ridge Trad 240m
A great, big, day out. Few tries to find a viable line on p2-3, when in doubt, head left

 
Sat 17th Dec 2022 - Launceston (Cataract) Gorge
The Shady Side Revival Area
23 Easy Ivy Crack - with Bonnie Trad 10m Good
Quite easy really, once you clear the silt at the bottom

 
Sat 17th Dec 2022 - Launceston (Cataract) Gorge
The Shady Side Six Agile Men Area
20 ~19 Hidden Fingers - with Bonnie Trad 8m Good
Quite good, but way too short

 
Sun 4th Dec 2022 - Ben Lomond
Northern Escarpment Robin's Buttress
21 Aquilla - with jon Trad 80m
Good, but the single pitch OS attempt was too much. Also who the hell makes north facing crags. Honestly that's evidence enough against God.

 
Sat 3rd Dec 2022 - Ben Lomond
Northern Escarpment Robin's Buttress
20 ~19 Rigaudon - with Jon Trad 70m
With side runners. Because the 5 isn't big enough. Take a 6, or more likely bigger. I got p1 and 3. Good fun. But p2 is hilariously soft at the grade

 
Sun 27th Nov 2022 - Freycinet National Park
Coastal Cliffs White Stack
22 White Sail - with John Trad 15m
M1, wrist not happy

 
17 Mithras - with John Trad 20m
Sun 27th Nov 2022 - Freycinet National Park
Coastal Cliffs Island Zawn
18 Astronomia Nova - with John Trad 20m Good
Hilarious, split into two pitches to try and avoid getting soaked. Didn't work. Fun line

 
Sat 26th Nov 2022 - Freycinet National Park
Coastal Cliffs Light Fingered Maddison Buttress
21 Light Fingered Maddison Trad 15m
Very nice little warm up

 
28 Animal Instincts Direct Trad 15m
This is damn hard, but maybe

 
25 Animal Instincts — 2 attempts Trad 15m
TR laps, Seems realistic, needs a bit of a brush, but I may get back to it. Wrist a bit unhappy

 
Sat 26th Nov 2022 - Freycinet National Park
Coastal Cliffs Whitewater Wall
12 Apline Trad 70m
Exceptionally juggy

 
Sat 12th Nov 2022 - Mount Wellington
The Organ Pipes The Columns
20 Sky Rocket Trad 60m
Very good. Single pitch TR solo. Got a bit lost following the description, so gave up and followed my nose, using both cracks to finish which was much easier.

 
19 A Step Back Trad 55m
Hilarious, if dirty. Learned a new trick, stacking an arm bar and a jamb. Recommend a clean, but it's a nice line and a solid 19. Few sits at the old gear, but it's where you'd put the anchor anyway

 
Sun 30th Oct 2022 - Freycinet National Park
Coastal Cliffs White Stack
17 Tashtego - with Rach Trad 10m
Quite nice

 
17 Mithras - with Rach Trad 20m
Quite good

 
22 White Sail - with Rach Trad 15m
Flailed all over this one. Damp cracks are hard when you haven't pulled anything but crimps in months

 
Sun 30th Oct 2022 - Freycinet National Park
Coastal Cliffs Tetragrammaton Buttress
19 No More Mr Nice Guy - with Rach Trad 25m
Either I'm climbing like crap, or this is harder than expected. That or I'm climbing in the sun ...

 
Mon 3rd Oct 2022 - Orroral area
Orroral Ridge Tower Rocks
Devil in my ear - Dane - with Nat Trad
Easier than Demon - needs a brush, and I'll consider a single bolt. Unfortunately putting it in the start would detract from Demon

 
Mon 8th Aug 2022 - Frog Buttress
East of the access track
22 Black Light - with Will Trad 25m
Clean through the start, but the thin corner had my number today.

 
Sun 7th Aug 2022 - Frog Buttress
West of the access track
14 Electronic Flag - with Will Trad 40m
Gear retrieval. Should have taken a bit more gear for this though

 
24 Worrying Heights - with Will Trad 30m
Attempt. Too hot in the sun. Couldn't commit, took the fall, destroyed a green dragonfly. A fun day out. Probably quite nice before 9am

 
19 Thor - with Will Trad 30m
Nice little line

 
Sat 6th Aug 2022 - Frog Buttress
West of the access track
16 Micron Trad 20m
17 Elastic RURP Trad 20m

Well I liked it. Guidebook be damned

 
8 Ex Trad 18m
15 Devil's Wart Trad 27m
Nice sunset lao, especially the top

 
15 Bad Blues Trad 22m
Fun

 
15 Illusion Trad 23m
The top had me stumped and regretting my decisions before I found the holds

 
18 Iron Mandible Trad 24m
Claim the lead solo. Because while I didn't touch the rope, having it beside me definitely helped the commitment

 
Sun 31st Jul 2022 - Frog Buttress
East of the access track
22 Child in Time - with Simon Trad 25m Classic
Sun 31st Jul 2022 - Frog Buttress
West of the access track
25 Barbed-wire Canoe - with Simon Trad 27m Very Good
Tied in once. Cruisey, Just the way it should be

 
Thu 28th Jul 2022 - Frog Buttress
West of the access track
25 Barbed-wire Canoe Trad 27m
Clean lap, milking rests, tapping gear, testing stances. Probably another lap or 2 and I'll try it in anger
