Steeper than it looks at the top

Managed all the moves in a few sections. Packs it in for a shorty.

 
Thu 12th Jul 2018 - Mt Tibrogargan
Halfway House
24 Voluptuous Sport 11m, 7 Classic
Great route. A little short but packs it in. I always seem to do this when I come up here. So good

 
24 23 The Elite Republican Guard Sport 15m, 5 Classic
Nice one. Throws you around a bit but is all there.

 
Thu 12th Jul 2018 - Mt Tibrogargan
Celestial Wall
22 Aphelion (Aphelion p4 / Rubicon p3) Sport 87m Average
18 22 Rubicon (Rubicon p1) Sport 85m Very Good
First 20m was wet through and about grade 28 haha

Really cool climbing, rock and position. I'd forgotten how good it is!

 
Sun 8th Jul 2018 - Pages Pinnacle
21 TOS Extension Sport 19m, 13 Good
Thought I was going to fall off this when I missed some holds haha! I also somehow missed a clip. I even already had a draw on it!

 
19 Gnarley Sport 18m, 10 Very Good
26 Meter Maids Sport 18m, 11 Very Good
Really good but unfortunately eases off in the top half. 7 or 8 move sequence on nicely featured rock.

 
22 Bombay Rock Sport 18m, 9 Very Good
Couldn't remember doing this one before. Apparently that's because I'm 40 now. It's quite good

 
18 TOS Sport 12m, 8 Good
Sat 16th Jun 2018 - Arapiles
Grotto Wall Area Grotto Wall
23 John and Betty Sport 23m, 5 Classic
Haden done this for a while. Go right at the upper section instead of left to get extra value.

15 The First Crusade Pitch 1 Sport 20m, 5 Good
Good rock. More like arapiles

 
23 The First Crusade Pitch 2 Sport 20m, 7 Good
Steep on mostly good jugs but not that long.

 
22 Christendom Sport 17m Very Good
Interesting climbing. Easier and better than it looks and it looks pretty good to start with!

 
24 Catapult Sport 15m, 5 Good
Great rock but not super consistent. Easy jugs, one hard move and then slightly awkward groove bit. The position on this wall is magic. Would be super popular if it was closer to the car or ground.

 
Tue 28th Nov 2017 - Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre
Spurt Wall
24 Dial-A-Lama - with Callum Dougall, Geordie Webb Sport 15m, 7 Very Good

The Olive Cave
26 Taser (Tazer) - with great climbing! Sport 20m, 7 Classic
Supposed to be a comeback project but it went second go! After 5 months off I'm feeling strong but unfit. With Josh

 
Thu 26th Jan 2017 - Bundaleer Area
Bundaleer
24 Lunging For Melons Extension Sport 25m, 8 Classic
Took quite a few cracks at the hard bit before I figured it out. Hard to onsight overall I reckon. Really cool subtle moves after the big move. Happy to get this after three months of not climbing. Pumped as at the top and has to pull a bit of technique out to stay on.

 
28 Touchstone Pictures Sport 46m Mega Classic
Had a play at the end of the day. The diabolical bit is diabolical.

 
Fri 4th Nov 2016 - Arapiles
Voodoo Area New Image Wall
26 Project Sport 20m, 5 Very Good
Dusted and done. Not sure on the grade. Felt 25-26 ish. Let me know what you think.

A bit fiery for 7a. Not overbolted.

6c Life is Sweet Sport 32m, 13 Mega Classic
Really liked this one.

 
7b La Columna de Gollum Sport 27m Classic
Probably would be more classic (and slightly easier) without the extension but what a feature! So cool.

Fantastic jutting jugs in one section. Cool rock.

Great climbing. The feet get pretty bad for a while right when you don't want them to.

 
5.12b Me Tarzan Sport 25m, 11 Classic
Seemed trickier than the other routes here. I had to hang on and figure a couple of sections out.

The routes on this wall are great fun. Long moves on mostly big holds
