Great climbing! Double #2 and #3 recommended.

 
Sun 1st Apr 2018 - Wolgan Valley
Old Baldy Upper Cliff
20 Uprising Trad 110m Average
Good position and some good climbing. But poor rock in some places, with potential for catastrophic consequences if there were a bolt failure, mean I wouldn’t recommend this climb. For example the first aid bolt on P1 is close to the lip of a chossy sandy roof. If it failed you’d hit the deck from 15m.

Fantastic climbing on P1.

 
22 23 The Seventh Wave (Cloudstreet) Mixed trad 80m, 8 Classic
Climbed a fantastic crack up and right of Cymbeline, hoping it was a new route. Presume it is this route though, as the crack is cleaned and had a cairn at the start.

Approached from the rap anchor of Romantic Friction - small wires in the thin crack a few metres to the right, then step across the slab back left and up to the Sickle ledge, then head right to the flake at the start of Icy Universe.

16 Zog Trad 90m Very Good
P1: 50m rope-stretcher to the Psychosomatic anchor, passing a busted 1960s bolt before reaching 'Unacceptable in the 80s'. P2: Straight up to join Lepton. Another rope-stretcher.

21 Mercenary Swine Trad 15m Very Good
My pick for the best trad route at Pierce's. Unfortunately either the route is harder, or my gumption weaker, than I want it to be.

Booroomba Rocks South Buttress Integral face
23 Moral Turpitude Mixed trad 45m, 2 Classic
If you're thinking of leading this, I'd recommend rapping down and attaching a 5+m sling from the first bolt before you set out. Otherwise the first bolt is a ground-fall's distance above the last gear.
