23 Legoland Sport 25m, 9 Blue Mountains Classic Sat 30th Sep 2017
Really stellar climbing. All about pump management. Nothing hard.

 
23 You Crazy Diamond Sport 26m, 9 Blue Mountains Classic Sat 1st Sep 2018
Seem to remember, no hard bits, just awesome from start to finish.

 
23 Watergate Sport 15m Blue Mountains Very Good Fri 8th Sep 2017
2 move wonder, but great moves and a bit of pump as it eases off after the crux. Would get more stars if the was more of it! Happy I flashed those 2 moves!

 
23 24 Cyrus The Virus (Osiris) - with Brent Sport 15m, 8 Elanora Heights Very Good Fri 15th Jun 2018
4th shot! Really quality climbing and a powerful 23, but good beta and knowing when to stop and when to go really helps. Good movement even when having to climb around the seepage (but embrace 1 wet jug). Wiping my hand was the crux! Highly rate this one.

 
23 Scones of Doom - with Agustin Avila, Siderunner Sport 15m, 4 Berowra Very Good Sat 22nd Jul 2017
2nd shot! Yeah baby!!

 
23 Flirting With the Spanish Dancer Sport 20m, 9 Blue Mountains Very Good Sat 30th Sep 2017
Great to punch 1st shot today up something I couldn't do not long ago. Stellar climbing.

 
23 Split Wave - with Adrian Kladnig Sport 20m Blue Mountains Classic Sun 2nd Feb 2020
23 Hairy Horrace Sport 12m Blue Mountains Good Mon 18th Mar 2013
Very crimpy crux, I would stick clip 2nd bolt. Really not worth decking out on boulder and doesn't add difficulty to the climb. 1st 3 bolts is it, then balancy jugs to top.

 
23 Nev Herrod Sport 12m, 5 Blue Mountains Classic Sun 9th Dec 2012
Really cool moves, only 2 harder moves, then just pumpfest to the top. Well protected and really fun!

 
23 Weak as I am - with Adrian Kladnig Sport 22m, 13 Blue Mountains Classic Mon 2nd Sep 2019
One of the best 23s I've been on in ages. Classy climbing, wouldn't exactly say there's no crux, but the thin sections don't last long. Thanks to Adrian for the suggestion! Lots of bolts, great moves.

 
23 Hot Flyer Sport 25m Blue Mountains Classic Mon 1st May 2017
2nd shot! Great great climb. Excellent rest before the crux

 
23 Master Plan Sport 15m Blue Mountains Classic Sat 27th Apr 2013
What an amazing climb! Not too cruxy, just sustained and technical crimping with sequence and feet being everything. Oh, and breathing. Oh, and climbing fast. So happy, got it at sunset with gorgeous orange glow, 4th shot.

 
23 Scheme of Things Sport 12m, 5 Blue Mountains Very Good Thu 4th Apr 2013
Fiesty and cruxy 23 but with awesome and go-ey moves. Loved figuring htis one out.

 
23 Dictator in a Deerstalker Sport 9m, 4 Blue Mountains Classic Sat 8th Dec 2012
Awesome awesome awesome. Some people don't like it, it's one of my favourites. Def 23 if you're shorter, amazingly it's not too hard with the right sequence, eh?

 
23 Reigning Steel - with Adrian Kladnig Sport 17m, 7 Blue Mountains Very Good Sat 8th May 2021
Really excellent climbing, pumpy but a couple of good rests. Nothing too small for crimps on this one, just keeps coming! Such amazing rock and on any other wall would get more stars. Just surrounded by so many classics. 2nd shot yeeey.

 
23 Major Tom Sport 12m Blue Mountains Very Good Sat 20th Oct 2012
Great well-protected dyno for the shorties, powerful moves over lip. Cool fun!

 
23 20 Layoff Sport 15m, 7 Nowra Good Sun 14th Jul 2013
Good climb, but waaaay too full on for 20. If you've got small finger for tiny slopy crimps you could call it 22, for your average person I'd say a 23. Some great moves though, and the jugs up high... not so juggy and keep you working. off the ground very bouldery but fun

 
23 Microdermabrasia (Microdermabrasia P1) - with Adrian Kladnig
1 23 30m lead by Tim Clarkson
Sport 30m Blue Mountains Mega Classic Mon 16th Sep 2019
Mindblowingly good! Definitely best to rap off pitch 1 anchors where possible (ringbolt + giant staple bolt). Cleaning on descent not a good idea due to sharp ironstone ledge, better to second or clean on top rope. Climbing is amazing. Fairly tough crux up high but good beta helps. One somewhat spicy runout on easier ground. Some of the best 23 climbing around IMO, only a few sharper holds. Lots of wow.

 
23 Hampsters Sport 15m, 3 Narrabeen Good Mon 4th Feb 2013
Hard, tenuous, good.

 
23 Lyptus Sport 23m, 8 Blue Mountains Mega Classic Wed 2nd Jan 2013
Amazing sequence on amazing rock. One of everything - juggy swinging, laybacks, kneebar, face climbing, high steps, delicate crimps and slab to finish. Wow. 23 bottom to top

 
23 Still Life - with Adrian Kladnig, Grace Mackie Sport 10m Nowra Very Good Fri 10th Jul 2020
Still powerful and sequency, but I feel like I can come back and do this now.

 
23 Chase the Lady Sport 14m, 5 Blue Mountains Good Fri 26th Apr 2013
Tough for 23, fiesty heinously thin crux. Better if you're either tall or have really tiny fingers. Think smaller ppl with tiny fingers would be able to use 3 times the intermediates, as there are plenty I couldn't quite squeeze my mid-sized fingers into, but couldn't use my mid-sized wingspan either. So had to dyno. Very cool dyno. Stuck it with one hand and no feet. Yeah!! Rest of climb to top has fantastic moves.

 
23 Mental Mantle - with Adrian Kladnig Sport 27m Blue Mountains Classic Mon 6th Jul 2020
Forgot I had been on this before. Great moves, just pumpy. Think for the lead I'll stick clip 2nd bolt. Figured out how to make direct to the anchors way easier than the far left version. Cool crux if goey as hell.

 
23 A Streaker Named Desire - with Blue Mountains Orangutan Sport 25m, 13 Blue Mountains Very Good Wed 30th Sep 2015
Crimpy, sustained, sequency with feet and just keeps coming. Fair for 23 just a loooot of climbing on crimps when pumped. Awesome awesome route, gotta come back for a tick with some crimp stamina.

 
23 Mal's Mega Route - with Adrian Kladnig Sport 20m Blue Mountains Mega Classic Sun 6th Oct 2019
Punted today by half a cm on one crimp!

 
23 Searching for the Light - with Adrian Kladnig Sport 24m, 14 Blue Mountains Classic Mon 29th Jun 2020
Really great climbing and oh so many bolts! Higher anchors make for fun and worthwhile climbing. Very fair for the grade and only a couple of tough moves, just pumpy!

 
23 Avenue Jean Jaures - with Adrian Kladnig Sport 35m Blue Mountains Good Fri 26th Jun 2020
I just seemed to get off route constantly trying to find the holds amongst the choss on the top half. Climbs well once you find the holds. Got a bit intimidated by the crux moves low down, but unecessarily so. It's well bolted. Just a bit rough on the rope. 3 x extended draws before chunky rooflet is a good idea. Fair for the grade.

 
23 School's Out Sport 12m Blue Mountains Good Sat 18th Aug 2012
Grrrr, that bloody crux move. Sharp! Strenuous! But once you get it....

 
23 A Nice Day for a Disco - with Brent Sport 25m, 3 Blue Mountains Good Fri 6th Oct 2017
Buggered this one up, but fun enough.

 
23 Mango Chutney Sport 16m Blue Mountains Very Good Sun 10th Apr 2016
Great route with a lot of moves and varied climbing. Consistently overhung with usually overhung rests and hence very pumpy. Don't think there's any moves harder than 23, though the mail slot is a low percentage throw or very powerful pulling if you're under 6 foot. But threading it together? That's going to take some overhung endurance for sure. The arkward rest followed by final dyno (well protected) is gold!!!

 
23 Hidden Gem - with Brent Sport 12m, 6 The Hide Away Fri 24th Aug 2018
Some cool moves and a bit bouldery and tenuous in the middle for a second. Good sequences seem to make a big difference. Powerful if you're short at the top, but on big holds (just can't reach the feet!) Looking forward to another crack later.

 
23 Arêtica - with Brent Sport 15m, 8 GFC Very Good Thu 11th Oct 2018
Really great moves on great frictiony rock. Well bolted. Great pseudo-mantle at top. Get on it!

 
23 Caveman - with Adrian Kladnig Sport 22m, 10 Elanora Heights Classic Mon 30th Sep 2019
Seriously good climbing, and lots of it. Probably the easiest in this section of wall, fair for 23 and incredible moves and exposure, with lie-down rest before final moves. Amazing job Adrian onsighting this beast!

 
23 Sensory Overload - with Adrian Kladnig Sport 20m, 12 Blue Mountains Classic Fri 28th Oct 2022
Pumpy is correct! Great and interesting juggy climbing with a sting in the tail. No moves that are particularly hard, but the pump is huge!

 
23 Engineering Feats of the 80s - with Adrian Kladnig Sport 25m, 10 Blue Mountains Very Good Mon 7th Oct 2019
Re-checking this out. Great climbing but weird and cool all at once. Sharp at the start. Great sequences blindly through the ripples up the top section.

 
23 22 FOMO - with Brent Sport 12m, 4 GFC Very Good Thu 11th Oct 2018
Sandy start more easily negotiated with better rock and sequence than the neighbouring 20. Awesome moves, and several ways to approach the crux, some of which negate the 'dyno'. Very cool.

 
23 The Tango Underground - with grace mackie Sport 18m, 8 Elanora Heights Very Good Fri 16th Aug 2019
23 Dragon's Egg Sport 20m, 8 Blue Mountains Good Mon 12th Dec 2016
Got 1st crux, still can't make sense of the 2nd crux. A few good falls though. Amazing how much easier the 1st crux is with better technique than the last time I tried to haul up on the crimps!

 
23 Creep Show - with grace mackie Sport 18m Blue Mountains Very Good Sun 15th Apr 2018
Great moves, pretty runout bolt before roof, then great through roof and onto sudden crimp/slab! Botched it and bonked shin into rock. Don't mind the blood on the ledge, I'm fine after some stitches. Thanks to the guys who carried my pack out!
