retro-flash. 2nd attempt after about 5-6 years with absolutely no recollection of the route. really did a pretty poor effort on the first few bolts and did not use my feet well at all, but managed to rest enough to get through the remainder of the route.

2nd shot today after hanging the draws! first 27 in a while. Had everything come together with good conditions, remembering my beta and feeling pretty fresh.
3206 points	25 Easy	★★ Zazen - with Grace Mackie	Sport 22m, 9	Mt Ninderry	★★ Very Good	Sun 25th Jun 2023
first flash at the grade. easy climbing getting to a very bouldery crux section, with good rests and easier climbing above.
3201 points	25	★★★ Bullen's Route - with Grace Mackie, Adrian Kladnig	Sport 16m, 11	New Nowra - Braidwood Road	★★★ Classic	Sat 17th Sep 2022
some tricky and thin moves down low leads to a great rest. The top half was lots of reaching between good holds. Felt on the easier side of 25 as a taller climber able to reach through a lot of the sections.

3186 points	25	★★★ Nitroglycerin - with Grace Mackie	Sport 15m, 6	Mt Ninderry	★★★ Classic	Fri 29th Jul 2022
Easy climbing down low to some crimpier climbing above. Quite hard to clip the anchors...

3156 points	27	★★★ Autophagocytosis - with Grace Mackie, Tim Clarkson	Sport 20m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Mon 3rd Oct 2022
First 27 in a bit over 5 years! Felt much better going through the bottom roof and lower headwall. 5 shots over two days.
3130 points	25	★★ Captain Kurko - with Grace Mackie	Sport 22m, 12	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Sat 22nd Jan 2022
Pleased to have been able to figure out the bottom crux quickly. thank god for the juggy rests in the top half of this route or there's no way I could have got through it.
3123 points	24 Easy	★★★ Vertical Dementia - with Grace Mackie	Sport 18m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Tue 25th Apr 2023
awesome route. technical climbing between solid resting positions.

3122 points	25	★★ George, King of the Jungle - with Grace Mackie	Sport 20m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Mon 27th Dec 2021
as the description says, varied and interesting climbing with a great finale move. The route probably loses some difficulty for a tall climber, but still a whole lot of fun.
3099 points	24 Easy	★★ Mogambo - with Grace Mackie	Sport 16m	Blue Mountains		Sat 4th Feb 2023
Great climbing with some tough moves to finish
3091 points	26	★★★ Grand Junction — 2 attempts - with Grace Mackie	Sport 25m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Sat 22nd Apr 2023
Sent second attempt today after a burn putting up the draws and cementing the beta. Great technical crimping!
3076 points	24	★★ The Iron Throne - with Grace Mackie 1 16 14m Sport lead by Ben Hanley 2 23 32m Sport lead by Grace Mackie 3 21 30m Second lead by Grace Mackie 4 24 37m Sport lead by Ben Hanley	Sport 110m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Sat 19th Nov 2022
A great route for a half day of climbing. Challenging pitch 2 and 4, and to me the crux sequence of pitch two was the hardest climbing of the whole route. Ended up doing the pitches a little out of order as I didn't get pitch two on the first try. After onsighting pitch 4 I figured I should have another attempt on pitch two while rapping back down. Pitch 4 was hard off the belay but then ended up being very juggy climbing, to a finish with large moves between ledges in a great position.
3050 points	25	★★ Captain Cake (linkup) - with Grace Mackie	Sport 22m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Sat 22nd Jan 2022
can't truly claim the onsight when i've climbed the crux as part of another route. A good link-up, not quite as good as captain kurko but similar difficulty
3044 points	26	★★ Circle of Doom — 2 attempts - with Grace Mackie	Sport 15m, 8	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Sun 20th Nov 2022
Didn't know that it was possible to be so pumped and close to falling off for so long on a route this short. Bouldery start through pockets to the upper crimpy headwall with some good rests.
3042 points	24	★★★ Birds Of Prey - with Grace Mackie	Sport 35m, 16	Mt Ninderry	★★★ Classic	Fri 29th Jul 2022
Some awesome climbing in the upper half. Had to really fight for it between the final bolt and the anchor as I just stretched myself out.
3037 points	25	★★★ Retrograde Amnesia — 2 attempts - with Grace Mackie	Sport 35m	The Paradiso	★★★ Classic	Sun 10th Dec 2023
after not being able to even pull the crux moves when I was on this at the start of the year, I was happy to be able to get through this one.
3028 points	23	★★★ Cluedo - with Grace Mackie	Sport 30m, 13	Cluan Tier and Whiskey Jim Hill	★★ Very Good	Sun 17th Dec 2023
3024 points	26	★★★ Sadomastication (Sadomastication P1) - with Grace Mackie, Ethan 1 26 lead by Ben Hanley	Sport 67m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Wed 14th Sep 2022
So great to be back on long, technical face routes! Only a few beta changes in the upper sections on the redpoint attempt.

one warmup hanging the draws. ticked it off on the second.
3010 points	26	★★★ Saturday Night Nitro - with Grace Mackie	Sport 15m, 6	Mt Ninderry	★★★ Mega Classic	Sat 30th Jul 2022
Managed to get through the crux, but then promptly forgot how to climb the top section. Got very worried trying to clip the anchors, dropping the rope a few times
3010 points	26	★★★ Pigs In Space - with Grace Mackie	Sport 30m, 9	Mt Tibrogargan	★★★ Classic	Thu 28th Jul 2022
Found the start a bit easier with some sneaky heel-hook beta I was given. Nearly dropped it at the high undercling crux when I forgot about my feet but managed to keep it together. Overall probably on the easier side of 26 with the crux moves probably being at the start.
3009 points	26	★★★ Screaming Insanity - with Grace Mackie	Sport 15m, 9	Mt Coolum	★★★ Classic	Tue 26th Jul 2022
End of day lap.
3009 points	26	★★★ Screaming Insanity - with Grace Mackie	Sport 15m, 9	Mt Coolum	★★★ Classic	Mon 25th Jul 2022
Unexpected send at the end of the day. I felt like I was really fighting from about halfway through.
3008 points	23	★★★ Smegadeath - with Matt Miller 1 23 Sport lead by Ben Hanley Didn't read the description and started up a difficult face rather than up the easier corner crack. Sustained technical face climbing with a few good resting positions lower down. Battled some severe rope drag up high. 2 20 Second lead by Matt Miller A tough mantle move then easier face climbing above 3 21 Sport lead by Ben Hanley Thin face gradually heading out to some fun arete climbing in the upper half 4 23 Second lead by Matt Miller Technical and reachy face climbing. Ended up not being quite as difficult as it looked to be from base. 5 21 Sport lead by Ben Hanley Heading out the roof was one of the wilder positions I've been in for a while. Pretty juggy on the traverse and getting around the corner, with easier climbing above. 6 22 Second lead by Matt Miller	Sport 220m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Mega Classic	Sat 14th Oct 2023
Amazing route! Easy access and easy walk off. Definitely appreciate the recent rebolt. Overall pitch 1 felt like the crux of the route, but I can see that pitch 4 would be for anyone shorter than 180cm.
3008 points	23	★★★ Lyptus - with Grace Mackie	Sport 23m, 8	Blue Mountains		Fri 13th Oct 2023
3004 points	24	★★ Red Demon - with Grace Mackie, Daniel Butler	Sport 14m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Sat 17th Dec 2022

2992 points	25 Hard	★★★ Powder Burns — 2 attempts - with Grace Mackie	Sport 20m	New Nowra - Braidwood Road	★★ Very Good	Sun 16th Jul 2023
very bouldery start to some easier climbing above. Probably the most wobbly send i've had in a very long while. Nearly shook myself off in a few places...

2985 points	24	★★★ Brain Drain - with Grace Mackie	Sport 20m, 11	Blue Mountains	★★★ Mega Classic	Sat 22nd Jan 2022
Great sustained climbing, gets a solid flash-pump going as a warmup!
2984 points	25	★★★ The Reality Dysfunction - with Grace Mackie	Sport 20m, 12	Blue Mountains	★★★ Mega Classic	Sat 17th Jun 2023

tougher moves down low to a rest-filled top half. enjoyable.

2960 points	26	★★★ Cavity Search - with rickau	Sport 20m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Sun 13th Feb 2022
Surprised myself with a tick. Managed to climb quicker than my typical snails pace to prevent myself getting crazy pumped.
2957 points	26	★★★ Sail Away - with Grace Mackie, Adrian Kladnig	Sport 25m, 9	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Fri 4th Feb 2022
2955 points	26	★★ Hello Rabbit Risotto - with Grace Mackie	Sport 22m, 11	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Fri 28th Jan 2022
a couple of thin moves in the middle, but the lie-down rest makes things much easier. managed to bag it, even while changing up my beta for the top section
2953 points	25	★★★ Dr Stein — 2 attempts - with Adrian Kladnig	Sport 18m, 10	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Mon 6th Mar 2023
one go remembering the moves and hanging the draws, clean ascent 2nd go.
2943 points	23	★★ Fire in the sky - with Grace Mackie	Sport 30m, 16	Bare Rock	★★ Very Good	Sun 12th Mar 2023
Sustained technical face climbing at the grade, no particular cruxes with a slightly more difficult section at half-height.

great climbing, slightly tough clip up high that you just need to keep moving past and clip from above

2915 points	25	★★★ Escape From the Drilling Fields - with Grace Mackie	Sport 20m	Nowra	★★ Very Good	Wed 2nd Nov 2022
a better warm-up. got through the crux from the ground and spent a while shaking out on the ledge above to be able to get to the anchors
2913 points	25	★★★ Vespasian's Wall P1 — 2 attempts - with Grace Mackie 1 25 25m Sport	Sport 25m, 20	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Wed 26th Oct 2022
Finally went out with this route as my main objective of the day. Good to put it to away. Fell off the same top move again on my first shot, flew up the second time knowing exactly what to do.
2909 points	25	★★★ Kizashi	Sport 20m, 12	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Tue 11th Oct 2022
Fun to get back to this after a while.
2899 points	25	★★★ Mega Mac - with Grace Mackie	Sport 15m, 8	Nowra	★★★ Classic	Sat 10th Sep 2022
Tough crimpy start to more sustained finish. Happy to have held it together on this despite forgetting some of my beta from last weekend. The start was remarkably dry after the recent rain.
2893 points	24 Hard	★★★ Aphasia — 2 attempts - with Grace Mackie	Sport 28m, 12	Mount Wellington	★★★ Classic	Tue 12th Dec 2023
really battled through the stemming corners and laybacking to be defeated by the crimpy slab up high on the onsight burn. Went down but still felt tough second shot.
2890 points	23	★★ Roo Rot - with Grace Mackie, Adrian Kladnig, Matt Miller	Sport 22m, 14	New Nowra - Braidwood Road	★★★ Classic	Sat 17th Sep 2022
Interesting and engaging climbing the whole length of the route without any real reprieve. More powerful than I expected for a slightly slabby arete. Classy climbing!
2888 points	25	★★★ Henry Bolte — 3 attempts - with Grace Mackie	Mixed trad 30m, 3	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Tue 10th Oct 2023
First shot hanging the draws in the first half for grace. Second shot came off at the crux moves above the 3rd bolt. Third shot linked the route on Grace's gear for the top section. Challenging thin climbing in the bottom half to a great rest at halfway, where you can build an absolute nest of cams, to easier climbing above.
2887 points	25	★★ A Succulent Chinese Meal - with Grace Mackie	Sport 14m, 7	Mt Ninderry	★★ Very Good	Sat 30th Jul 2022
Interesting movement in the corner up high. Surprising amount of finger locks on the one.
2876 points	25	★★ Bachelor's Ball - with Grace Mackie	Sport 18m	Nowra	★★ Very Good	Sun 26th Jun 2022
surprised myself getting through it first shot of the day. even compared with last weekend I felt that I got more back at each of the rests.
2876 points	25	★★ Bachelor Busted Balling Bimbo - with Grace Mackie	Sport 20m	Nowra	★★ Very Good	Sun 26th Jun 2022
Seems pretty close in difficulty to Bachelor's Ball, with a similar but slightly easier crux move but more sustained top-section. Happy to have done this in two shots.
2874 points	25	★★★ Escape From the Drilling Fields - with Grace Mackie	Sport 20m	Nowra	★★ Very Good	Sat 18th Jun 2022
just managed to hang on with grace's beta for the crux.
2871 points	24	★★★ Bone China — 2 attempts - with grace	Sport 30m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Sat 30th Sep 2023
great mix of some more powerful climbing and super delicate and technical vert. classic route.
2869 points	24	★★★ Brain Drain - with Grace Mackie	Sport 20m, 11	Blue Mountains	★★★ Mega Classic	Sun 24th Sep 2023
clean end of day burn.

pitch 1 only to warm up for aphasia. some very technical climbing for the grade.
2861 points	24 23	★★★ Black Op's - with Grace Mackie	Sport 30m	Mt Tibrogargan	★★★ Classic	Sat 11th Jun 2022
felt a bit like being back in the blueys with nice crimp rails throughout the majority of the route. the anchors twist the rope to hell, would recommend rapping off. probably on the softer side for the grade.
2857 points	26	★★★ Lactictoc - with Grace Mackie, Daniel Butler	Sport 28m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Sun 7th Mar 2021

greatly surprised myself with this one. had the strongest case of elvis leg i've had for a while after coming out of the crux and not recognising the next few moves. Managed to time it well with some clouds passing overhead and dropping the temperature.

2811 points	24 Hard	★★★ Offender Of The Faith — 2 attempts - with Grace Mackie	Sport 30m, 10	The Paradiso	★★★ Classic	Fri 17th Mar 2023
Several powerful cruxes separated by good rests.
2810 points	24	★★★ Heaven Can Wait — 2 attempts - with Grace Mackie	Sport 30m, 14	Bare Rock	★★★ Classic	Mon 13th Mar 2023
One top rope attempt at the start of the day to work the moves and figure out the top section for the first time. Just managed to hold it together for the red point, only getting just enough back at each rest stance to get to the next. Now that I know where the holds are the route feels much more classic, and more like 24 🤣
