Sun 9th Nov 2014 - Nowra | ||||||
Thompson's Point Betty Blue Area | ||||||
23 | ★★★ Still Life | 10m | ★★★ Mega Classic | |||
I know I didn't get it clean but it still felt on the soft side of 23. Electorooter was way harder. Direct start for full value me thinks
|
||||||
21 | ★★ Broken And Barbed | 18m, 6 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Hard at 21 not just 20. The top is cruisey
|

Sun 9th Nov 2014 - Nowra | ||||||
Thompson's Point The Pocketed Wall | ||||||
22 | ★★ Electro Rooter | 12m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Felt hard at the top. The traverse option is crap.
|
||||||
Sun 9th Nov 2014 - Nowra | ||||||
Thompson's Point Descent Gully Walls | ||||||
25 | ★★★ Cowboy Junkies | 15m, 6 | ★★★ Mega Classic | |||
One shot. All the individual moves weren't too hard but lack of time on the rock lately means linking it together is not going to happen.
|
||||||
11 | ★ Lucifer | 15m | ★★★ Mega Classic | |||
Fun climb. Good warm up and perfect introduction to outdoor climbing for those new to the sport
|
||||||
Sun 9th Nov 2014 - Nowra | ||||||

The Grotto Cliffline The Grotto Proper | ||||||
19 | ★★ Alien Space Monsters | 25m, 9 | ★★★ Classic | |||

22 | ★★★ Amazon Queens Right Hand (flake) Variant | 20m | ★★★ Classic | |||

Mon 13th Oct 2014 - Blackwall | ||||||
Bogas Cave | ||||||
19 | ★ Swing Left | 6m | ★ Good | |||
Thin move near top
|

|
||||||
Mon 13th Oct 2014 - Blackwall | ||||||
Kit Kat Wall | ||||||
19 | ★★ Better Breaks than a Kit Kat | 10m, 4 | ★ Good | |||
Hard at the grade when you have to place carrot hangers. Some good moves at the start.
|
||||||
21 | ★ Better Brakes than a Bobcat | 10m | ★ Good | |||
Easy at 21 when the draws are pre placed.
|
||||||
Sun 21st Sep 2014 - Bulahdelah | ||||||
The Pinnacles Lichen pinnacle | ||||||
22 | ★★ Frankie the Snitch | 22m, 10 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Definatly classier if you don't bridge. An easier version of Billy Woods.
|
||||||
Sun 21st Sep 2014 - Bulahdelah | ||||||
The Pinnacles Little Weed Pinnacle | ||||||
18 | ★ Bill | 12m, 4 | ★ Good | |||

|

Sun 10th Aug 2014 - Popran | ||||||
22 | ★★ Vertical Python | 24m | ★ Good | |||
Not for the weak of spirit. Good climbing though.
|
||||||
Sat 17th May 2014 - Berowra | ||||||
Glamorpus Area | ||||||
18 20 | ★ Zooloft | 12m, 6 | Average | |||
Ok climbing through a sandy beach.
|
||||||
24 | ★★ Glamorpus | 18m | ★★★ Classic | |||
The mantle was the hardest individual move I have ever done. The end is great. Grade is very dependant on how good you are at mantles.
|
||||||
Sat 17th May 2014 - Berowra | ||||||
Blackboard Wall | ||||||
17 | ★★ Yesterday's Heroes | 12m, 4 | Average | |||
The start is a sandbag. Everything else is easy.
|
||||||
Sat 17th May 2014 - Berowra | ||||||
Pimple Buttress | ||||||
18 | ★ Look Blue Go Purple | 10m, 3 | ★ Good | |||
Nice little ditty
|
||||||
Mon 21st Apr 2014 - Blackwall | ||||||
Bogas Cave | ||||||
23 | ★ Gonzo | 10m | ★ Good | |||
Not a bad climb. Short and sweet
|
||||||
24 | ★★ Heart of Darkness | 18m | ★★ Very Good | |||
The flake in the roof desperately needs reinforcing. It flexes in a slight breeze, let alone a 90 kilo climber. I got one knee in the kneebar and didn't have the balls to put the second in.
|
||||||
Sat 22nd Mar 2014 - Umina | ||||||
Lake View | ||||||
24 23 | ★★ Far Left Out | 15m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Great climb. The moves from the start until the jugs after the crux (10m) are fantastic. After that it's a bit snappy and meh but it's definitely worth another lap. I did it second go but it felt like a fluke and I would give it more 24 than 23. The first half is a bit too full on and thin for 23
|
||||||
21 | ★★ Forbes Fortune | 15m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Enjoyable slab on crimps. The finish leaves a bit to be desired though.
|
||||||
16 | ★ Quick links ahoy | 11m, 4 | ★ Good | |||
Not a bad warm up
|
||||||
Fri 31st Jan 2014 - Glenrock Lagoon | ||||||
The Fish Bowl | ||||||
25 | ★★ Risky Business | 12m, 5 | ★ Good | |||
Had a quick look after Prime Time. Very burly down low and a bit harder than Prime. Still won't take long though.
|
||||||
25 | ★★ Prime Time | 13m, 5 | ★ Good | |||
Done putting draws on today. On the soft side of 25
|
||||||
Mon 27th Jan 2014 - Glenrock Lagoon | ||||||
Middle Earth | ||||||
23 | ★ Watcher in the Water | 11m, 4 | Don't Bother | |||
The crux pebble has been removed (more than likely with a hammer). This thing has more chips than a takeaway shop. Absolutely worthless.
|
||||||
Mon 27th Jan 2014 - Glenrock Lagoon | ||||||
The Fish Bowl | ||||||
25 | ★★ Prime Time | 13m, 5 | ★ Good | |||
Fell off after all the hard work was done. Good footwork makes life a lot easier. Punchy start.
|
||||||
Sun 12th Jan 2014 - Bulahdelah | ||||||
The Delah Wall No cams area | ||||||
27 | ★★ Portion Control | 20m, 5 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Well this was an entertaining jump up in class. Lowering down the route from tricky I was not feeling confident of getting very far. Ended up getting to just under the 4th draw. Crux move between 4 & 5 is not bad after a sit but on link will be hard. The lack of rests will be most problematic though.
|
||||||
22 21 | Trickey Dickey variant finish | 15m | ||||
Only worth doing if you are setting up Portion Control, otherwise head to the main anchors (which is really good and more 22 than 21.)

The Delah Wall Bumble Buttress | ||||||
14 | ★ Bumbled Beginings | 18m, 6 | Average | |||
Warm up slab.
|
||||||
22 | ★ Nick and the Amazing technicolour Dream Tights | 15m, 6 | ★ Good | |||
Done putting the draws on. Much easier than last time I tried. Found a way to do it without using the shitty crimp above the 4th draw.
|
||||||
22 | ★★ Man Mountain | 15m, 4 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Repeat. Still good fun and a bit easier than last time. Pumpy for such a short climb.
|
||||||
Sun 29th Dec 2013 - Blue Mountains | ||||||
Blackheath Area Porters Pass La La Land Area | ||||||
22 | ★ Shocking Pocket Monster | 15m | ★ Good | |||
Tried to thug through on the first attempt and gave up. Easy (but still thuggy) on the second attempt.
|
||||||
Sun 29th Dec 2013 - Blue Mountains | ||||||
Blackheath Area Porters Pass Chasing Amy Wall | ||||||
21 | ★★ Chasing Amy | 22m | ★★★ Mega Classic | |||
Fantastic thought provoking route. It felt harder than Lardy Lady's but after watching a couple of repeaters I think I chose the hardest possible sequence.
|
||||||
Sun 29th Dec 2013 - Blue Mountains | ||||||
Blackheath Area Shipley Upper Hot Flyer Wall | ||||||
19 | ★★ Jack High | 20m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Draws on for John Boy. Still feels hard.
|
||||||
22 | ★★ Lardy Lady's Lats (The Lardy Lady's Lats) | 25m, 13 | ★★★ Classic | |||
I had wanted to do this for ages and ended up doing it pretty easily. It's obvious why it's a trade route.
|
||||||
Sun 29th Dec 2013 - Blue Mountains | ||||||
Blackheath Area Shipley Upper Grey Slab | ||||||
18 17 | ★ Burning Jowls | 18m, 8 | ★ Good | |||
Warm up, draws on for John Boy

||||||
Sat 28th Dec 2013 - Blue Mountains | ||||||
Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd Cosmic County Area The Freezer | ||||||
22 | ★★ SWALK | 25m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Good climb. Surprisingly I didn't find it that hard. Well worth a lap.
|
||||||
22 | ★★ Extension Lead | 20m | ★★ Very Good | |||
2 mins after my 3rd attempt at gbd. I should have had a rest. The climbing seemed better then swalk
|
||||||
24 | ★★ Good Big Dog | 22m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Not soft but not hard for 24. A bit disappointed not too tick. The flash ended halfway when I didn't bring draws after aiden's attempt. Then fell on the finish jug
|
||||||
20 | ★ Old Blobby | 25m | ★ Good | |||
Warm up. Not too bad. Undergraded start to 20m of jugs
|
||||||
18 | ★★ Soul Sister | 24m | ★ Good | |||
Warm down climb.
|
||||||
Mon 11th Nov 2013 - Bulahdelah | ||||||
Hoppy's Cave | ||||||
22 | ★ Powdered Poo | 20m | Average | |||
Not bad as a warm down but I didn't have any energy left for the 2 final (and only) actual hauls. The finish is a shame with your rope running across some nasty rock.
|
||||||
24 | ★★ Legless Miner | 16m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Did the legless start easy enough but I still can't link the blackleg finish. Once I know the kneebars it should go but fresh tape is a must.
|
||||||
23 24 | ★★ Pull Ya Plonka | 15m, 6 | ★★★ Classic | |||
Done as a warm up putting draws on. Classic jug haul after slightly tricky start. It must suit my style because I found it really easy and ended up doing 2 laps. For me it's 23 from the ground and 22 from the right hand start. There is only 1 hidden hold which is rare for bula.
|
||||||
Mon 11th Nov 2013 - Bulahdelah | ||||||
Beehive Area | ||||||
20 22 | ★ Bees Neez (White Streak) | 10m | ★ Good | |||
All the holds are there but the bulahdelah factor is very high which only adds to the pump.
|
||||||
Sun 27th Oct 2013 - Popran | ||||||
21 | ★★ Flying Circus | 20m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Really good climb with a couple of hard moves.
|
||||||
22 | ★★ Snake Eyes | 24m, 8 | ★★★ Classic | |||
Great climb that doesn't really let up. Not so great as a warm down had to fight for it the whole way.
|
||||||
25 | ★★ Rehabilitation | 24m, 8 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Mono is hard. Really good moves above it. Found the secret to clipping the anchors.
|
||||||
25 | ★★★ 97% Mitch Free | 24m, 7 | ★★★ Classic | |||
2nd go today, Clipping from the crimp was so worrying that I ended up with elvis body.
|
||||||
Sat 12th Oct 2013 - Bouddi National Park | ||||||
Wards Hill Main Wall | ||||||
25 | ★★ Flash Me | 17m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Last climb of the day. Not surprisingly it felt rather hard.
|
||||||
24 | ★★★ Lactic Acidosis | 15m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Great climb with good movement the whole way. Hard crux.
|
||||||
Sun 22nd Sep 2013 - Joll's Bridge | ||||||
Lower cliffline | ||||||
21 | ★★ Go North Young Thang | 20m, 8 | ★★ Very Good | |||
While I have been on a 21 with a harder crux, I'm not sure if the move at the crux is 21. If your short this will be really really hard.
|
||||||
22 21 | ★★ The Climb that was | 18m, 7 | ★ Good | |||
Getting established in the off width is fun. I was sandbagged onto this as a warm up.
|
||||||
23 | ★★ Big Black Box | 15m, 5 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Tall people dead point the left hand from the slopey crimp to the jug. This felt harder than Cuckoo. 3rd go
|
||||||
24 25 | ★★ Channel Bill Cuckoo | 12m, 5 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Great climb. The crux is hard on the tendons. 2nd go.
|
||||||
21 20 | ★ Sniffing Dogs | 15m | ||||
The pure definition of a one mover. 21 maybe 22
|
||||||
20 | ★★ Absolute honey | 13m, 4 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Really good climbing. Could be stiff at 20. Deserves a star or 2
|
||||||
Sun 8th Sep 2013 - Popran | ||||||
25 | ★★★ 97% Mitch Free | 24m, 7 | ★★★ Classic | |||
Unfortunatly 97% Jimmy free as well. Super close and all the moves are easy enough but I couldn't link the top 15m together. The anchor clip crux is be a heartbreaker.
|
||||||
19 | ★★ Little green slugs | 42m | ★ Good | |||
Warm up
|
||||||
22 21 | ★★★ Rock 'n' Roll Mr Creosote | 25m, 10 | ★★ Very Good | |||

V5 V7 | ★★ Road Side Assistance | 3m | ★ Good | |||
I agree with Tim that this could be a 5, alhough height makes it easier.
|
||||||
Wed 28th Aug 2013 - Woy Woy | ||||||
Road House The Dug Out | ||||||
V6 | ★ Strike Three | 3m | ★ Good | |||
2nd go. The shouldery move is much harder this way.
|
||||||
V6 V7 | ★★ The Extended Line | 8m | ★★★ Classic | |||
And it's even easier in the dry. Good at 6 if you don't use the mushroom. 3 more laps
|

Sun 28th Jul 2013 - Bulahdelah | ||||||
Hoppy's Cave The Terrace | ||||||
23 22 | ★★ Flat White | 10m, 4 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Way harder than 22. Very sequency crimping. Go right after the second clip to make the 3rd clip safer. 2nd shot today. I've had a play on it a few times though. 2 clean laps
|
||||||
21 | ★ Chicken dance | 20m | ★ Good | |||
Done on first trip to Bula a couple of years ago. It was super hard as my second lead ever.
|
||||||

Sun 14th Jul 2013 - Bulahdelah | ||||||
Air Raid Gully | ||||||
21 | ★★ Mustang | 18m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Dirty jugs the whole way. More traffic would make this a great. It loses a star for being so hard to clean. Be sure to take a second up.
|

Saddle area Mr Enthusiasm area | ||||||
25 | ★★ Mr enthusiasam | 20m | ★★★ Classic | |||
