18 Sparrow - with Adrian Kladnig, Gee Buck Mixed trad 18m, 4 Blue Mountains Very Good Sun 8th Sep 2019
Lovely thought provoking climbing. Some thin holds but with good feet top help out.

21 Barefoot in the Head - with Adrian Kladnig Mixed trad 30m, 6 Blue Mountains Very Good Sat 24th Aug 2019
We accidentally linked most of this into some of Pretty Boy Floyd. Either way, some very reachy carrots, having to pull on crimps with tiny feet to clip or unclip carrots.. just be aware. If you're 6ft2 you'll be fine. Good if occasionally burly climbing, burly mainly clipping bolts. Think I got it clean after falling at the start...

19 I'd Rather Be Sailing - with Adrian Kladnig Mixed trad 28m, 6 Blue Mountains Very Good Tue 4th Aug 2020
Hard non-19 start move, then bloody great. Spaced bolts but safe falls. Nicer on the rope to rap off, but not too bad.

19 I'd Rather Be Sailing Mixed trad 28m, 6 Blue Mountains Very Good Sat 26th Aug 2017
Bouldery start but only first 3 moves... then very 17ish and lovely. We only had a #4 cam and that was manageable if slightly heady without more gear. Great climbing. Fun and a good warmup. Stickclip and batman past first metre of climbing if you want 17 warmup.

19 I'd Rather Be Sailing Mixed trad 28m, 6 Blue Mountains Very Good Sun 17th Sep 2017
Found more gear placements this time and Sean found an extra one... not so runout at the bottom now but still a long way between up high... though there's a break for a 4/5 cam up top.

18 The 80 Minute Hour Mixed trad 30m, 4 Blue Mountains Classic Sat 24th Aug 2019
Amazing climbing, feels like superhero climbing for the grade up the arete over space. Took a couple of goes to get the start on top rope, but later watched others do it much more gracefully... if unsure, you can always traverse in from the ledge, get 1st cam in, then start again

20 Solomon - with Daniel Butler Mixed trad 51m, 4 Blue Mountains Classic Mon 17th Aug 2020
I was one move away from getting this clean on second and sooo not my wheelhouse. Amazing amazing fist/hand jams and pasting feet. What an unruly epic gorgeous amazing climb that kicked my butt.

18 King Rat - with Adrian Kladnig, david koochew Trad 20m Arapiles Classic Thu 26th Apr 2018
Fantastic climbing and moves. Good protection available where you need it, 1st few moves getting established a bit bouldery - worth protecting the belay but then just great!

18 Huey - with Adrian Kladnig, john croker, michael croker Trad 16m Arapiles Classic Tue 24th Apr 2018
Really fantastic climbing, hand crack with footers and regular jugs on the sides - very manageable and beautiful movement.

21 Mekong Charlie - with Tom Collins Trad 23m Blue Mountains Very Good Sat 8th Jul 2017
The "scramble" up can take some gear to make it safe and manageable. "Large" cam up high is a number 6. If not, you can run it out 8m on grade 15 jugs. Great climbing, one punchy move off a ledge that spat me off half way (well protected).

23 Walking Wounded Mixed trad 20m, 4 Blue Mountains Sat 24th Jun 2017
Too tired end of day. Burly for 23, with an exciting runout on crimps. Good one that I need to come back to.

20 Ricochet Rabbit Trad 28m Blue Mountains Good Sun 17th Sep 2017
Runout over slab with seemingly only 1 good gear location up high? Decent if quite bouldery climbing but the runouts seem dumb and dangerous to me...

20 Mindblower - with Tom Collins Mixed trad 20m, 3 Blue Mountains Very Good Sat 24th Jun 2017
Great climb. 1st couple of bolts did my head in a bit but quality stuff. 1 rest. Thanks to Tom for leaving the gear in.

16 Kooks Trad 25m Blue Mountains Classic Sun 28th Apr 2013
My first mixed lead!! Awesome. Only rudimentary off-width technique required, but if you're cool with those moves it'll save some effort. Can be done without any gear, but a stopper or cam in the 1st few meters is good, and a range of cams or hexes can reduce runouts at various points. Didn't have any big gear and it was heady but ok. Shiny ringbolts niiiiiice. Really worth doing.

Mixed trad 45m, 3 Blue Mountains Classic Fri 8th Sep 2017
Beautiful climb. Pitch 1 plenty of pro when you need it, very easy climbing between. Pitch 2 I totaly missed the bolt on right side of arete, just a sling on a knob and a decent wire, with a really big gap! 60km/hr winds didn't help me think clearly, but I'd love to come so it again not in a gale! Stellar exposure, and moves out of the cave easy with an easy to clip bolt if you look around.

Awesome climbing, found the pitch off the deck a little intimidating, but that's likely just me. Great moves the whole way and great to good protection.

Mixed trad 45m, 3 Blue Mountains Classic Thu 10th Oct 2019
Great to get on this classic and lead the whole thing! 2nd pitch not nearly as runout when tou can head round the arete! Last time 70km/hr winds kept me away from all the good holds and chicken heads... this time was super comfy with a carrot just when you need it before the top. 1st pitch can be made better protected, but you might need double ropes to get all the good gear. Easy and obvious climbing though.

Awesome climb. Good belay on top of boulder. Think pitch 2 I went right up arete beside chimney rather than up chimney? Well protected.

13 Hell For Leather - with Adrian Kladnig Trad 30m Arapiles Classic Fri 27th Apr 2018
Great climbing and I think Adrian basically just slung knobs most of the way! Kinda like climbing a ladder made of those baby's head holds at the gym - didn't think that existed but there you go... Great climb! Couple of overhung (but straightforward) sections for full value.

Figured out my own gear this time! Lovely climbing and great to place a size 5 cam to reduce the runout! Fun times.
