24 The Age of Rubber - with Zac Trad 30m Blue Mountains Classic Sat 23rd Apr 2016
This route goes on gear. No need for retro bolting ever!

24 Beyond Belief - with zachary vertrees, Jamie Trad 40m Blue Mountains Classic Sat 2nd Mar 2019
Just the short version today... cleaning after Zac's onsight ... enjoyable climbing up to where it steps up a little ... pealed out off an off-hands section trying to milk a poor jam to get my other failing jam a bit better ... then continued ... will be back for further attempts and beyond ... Great climbing and quite novel looking route ...

 
24 R Hard The Age of Reason - with zachary vertrees Trad 30m Blue Mountains Classic Thu 25th Apr 2024
A couple of toprope plays on bottom half… middle bit is kinda doable… My route to right is maybe as hard but worse gear … still need to improve feet, maybe need to do some more standboarding…?

But the start is absolutely nails… really difficult somewhat tenuous slightly highballish boulder problem before things settle down a bit… top is easier but still able to fall off I guess …

24 The Thin Line of Reprieve - with zachary vertrees, Kamil Trad 75m Blue Mountains Classic Sat 23rd Feb 2019
Rack of DMM's, rack of Totems and half a dozen small-med offset Metolius, plus a rack of wires (only 2 got used) and Zac still had gear left over at the end ... as usual, and ledge to ledge as a single pitch with direct finish continuing up corner to CDS belay ... the obvious and natural finish in our view, no need to bail onto the slab, stick to the line ... a 60m makes it as one pitch this way, though dismantle belay and climbing up to start of route(tied in and ready) makes sure ...ymmv..

Anyway was hoping I'd be able to stem more but instead found a lot of had to load my bad knee quite a bit requiring weird techniques at times and ultimately a fall or two... lot of stretch on 8.4's left me well off line and a short jug or two was needed to get back to the climbing... direct finish was pretty good and should clean up ... will be back at some point... great climb as done, not sure on grade until I lead it ....

Ran into Neil and Frothy out there on their respective projects and had some interesting discussions about stuff an' things ...
