P1 only. Very pleasant, nice moves and being in the sun on a winter afternoon was great. Abseil chains - 20m? 2nd and 3rd bolts of The Scarlett Pimpernell are too close to this route in my opinion.

| 50m | Moonarie | ★★★ Mega Classic | Thu 30th Jul 2015 | |||
Stellar position, absolutely amazing. Well protected. I think grade 15 but maybe it's just because we'd been at the moon for 4 days. Did Buckley's finish.

15 | ★ Iron Butterfly - with Tim Grinter, Cassie | 28m | Frog Buttress | ★ Good | Wed 21st Jan 2015 | |||
The first half is quite nice but the top detracts from the experience. Felt it was a big step up in difficulty from Electric Lead.

Exciting, great route.

15 | ★ ScarIet Sage - with Nick | 10m | Arapiles | ★★ Very Good | Mon 1st Sep 2014 | |||
Great gear. Good to get back on the sharp end after a slightly sore shoulder over the past few days. A few tough moves at the top.
|

15 | ★ Smooth Journey - with Anton | 44m | Arapiles | ★★★ Classic | Tue 7th Jan 2014 | |||
Great climb. Surely worth two stars if it wasn't for the bees.
We finished at the Gay Olympics anchor. |

Jams are not my strong point, but I got through it. There was only really one section that didn't have any face holds.

Came back to get this out in daylight. First pitch has interesting moves, utilising both the chimney and the crack. Second pitch very thin to start, then it eases off.

first pitch quite nice, stellar curving sickle layback on second pitch, then mediocre

Plenty of variety, big ledge detracts somewhat.

Exciting top-out.
Building the top anchor required some creativity also. |

Very exciting and committing. Wind added to the atmosphere.

15 | ★★ Kaiser - with Starkey | 110m | Arapiles | ★★ Very Good | Tue 18th Dec 2012 | |||
Pitches 1-3. Great traversing at end of 3rd pitch.

15 | ★ The Venus Trap - with Elisa Chaplin | 15m | Arapiles | ★★ Very Good | Fri 28th Nov 2014 | |||
Cool climb. Not sure about putting gear behind some of the flakes on the traverse.

Great climbing, very sustained. Loved it!

15 | ★★ Sundance - with Darren, Norman | 140m | Arapiles | ★★ Very Good | Fri 18th Jan 2013 | |||
2nd pitch was the best bit. Linked pitches 2+3. Pitch 4 wandered a bit, doubles were handy.

15 | ★★ Siamese Crack - with Nick | 25m | Arapiles | ★★ Very Good | Mon 1st Sep 2014 | |||
Full on! I think I'm still on my jamming L plates.

Nice climb. Steep dirt on the exit a bit unpleasant.

15 | ★ Clea Direct Finish | 16m | Morialta | Wed 20th Oct 2010 | ||||
Hard work at the top, but great to get it out!

15 | Aga - with Dylan | 13m | Morialta | Don't Bother | Fri 2nd Nov 2012 | |||
Squeezing yourself between two other routes for 3m of climbing doesn't appeal to me.

1st and 4th pitches a bit mediocre. Linked 2nd and 3rd pitches - absolutely superb. I thought flakes like this only existed in movies from yosemite!

Got myself facing the wrong way at the top of the chimney - very exciting turning around in that position. Did 1st pitch only and abseiled at chains. 30m abseil.
|
||||||||
15 | ★★★ Hangover Layback - with Geoff | 90m | Moonarie | ★★★ Mega Classic | Tue 28th Jul 2015 | |||
Felt like 16 but perhaps only because it was freezing cold and windy. Shade from mid morning in winter. Holds are huge but you have to commit to the move!
Every pitch is awesome, an iconic route. |

15 | ★★ Moondance - with Geoff | 35m | Moonarie | ★★★ Classic | Sun 26th Jul 2015 | |||
Well protected and not sandbagged! Great route. I kept on looking out left for chains but in the end the crack leads you straight to them.
|

15 | ★★ The Carthaginian (The Carthagenian) - with Toby | 33m | Blue Mountains | ★★★ Classic | Sun 7th Oct 2012 | |||
Crack climbing! Not something I have done much of. This got me pretty excited.

15 | ★★★ Kaiser - Resignation - with Viv Hughan | 99m | Arapiles | ★★★ Classic | Tue 21st May 2013 | |||
first pitch had one awkward bit, second pitch through overhang felt good, third pitch super awesome, 4th pitch mediocre.

15 14 | ★ Corkscrew Retribution - with Geoff | 35m | Moonarie | ★★ Very Good | Wed 29th Jul 2015 | |||
Takes plenty of big gear. I used a BD 5 cam to make the move rightwards easier to stomach. No need to get inside the squeeze chimney, just climb up outside it. Good to knock this one off after retreating last time.

Get your limbs inside the crack! Take a bd 4. A 5 is handy too.
