19 Chickens in Choppers Mixed trad 30m, 7 Mount Buffalo Classic Sat 30th Nov 2013
SLAB. GASM.

 
19 Mescalito Trad 12m Barrenjoey Good Fri 11th Jan 2013
Good! Watch swing for second up the top.

 
19 Colosseum Corner Trad 78m Blue Mountains Very Good Sun 1st Jun 2014
Excellent corner, compares well with the best corners at Piddo. Pretty clean but there's still a few plants in there.

Gear beta: nothing larger than a #2 camalot. Would have had good hex placements

 
19 When the Levee Breaks Mixed trad 20m, 4 Point Perpendicular Very Good Sun 9th Feb 2014
Flash with inspection and a couple of pre-placed cams on abseil. Really good climbing.

 
19 Not Your Average Cab Sav Trad 20m Barrenjoey Very Good Sun 25th Oct 2015
Tried this a few years ago and very happy to jump back on it and climb in good style. Classic Bjoey face climbing with good cams in horizontals at the start.

Gear beta: single rack of cams from small #0.3 C4 to #2 C4.

 
19 Central Pillar of Mordor Mixed trad 20m, 3 Barrenjoey Good Wed 8th Jun 2011
19 Dry Reaching Mixed trad 30m, 3 Point Perpendicular Very Good Wed 8th Jun 2011
Rock and climbing gets better the higher you go.

 
19 Jaws Trad 32m Point Perpendicular Good Sun 4th May 2014
19 Judas-Messiah Connection Trad 35m Blue Mountains Classic Sun 25th May 2014
Flashed the finger crack crux, milked the rest for ages then fell off trying to pull the lip on the Messiah's Exit with stupid footwork. Gutted.

Gear beta: red C3 in horizontal for traverse to arete. Finger crack is blue totem/camalot sized at start. Good hexes and #1 #2 #3 camalots for the Messiah crack.

 
19 Long Line of Leanings Trad 15m Barrenjoey Good Sun 28th Jun 2015
Definitely a classic Claw contribution. Bailed off the bolt before the final runout, after downclimbing off, at least I was feeling the trad mojo again.

Gear beta: bomber purple totem & ok green totem protect the start. Above the bolts it looks bad, try around a #3 or even #4 camalot in sandy flared round pockets.
