19 | ★★ Vitez - with Andrew Stevenson | 25m | ★★ Very Good | |||
This is a great route. A bit of a struggle up the first bit of the crack where it is wide but then it gets easier towards the bolt. The rest of the crack is good fun with plenty of rests. Then a fun engaging finish up the flake.

Nice climb.
|
||||||
17 | ★ Corny Hesitation - with Liam Jackson | 15m, 7 | ★ Good | |||

|
||||||
21 | ★★ The Fixer - with Demetrius | 13m, 7 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Great route, really glad to get the onsight. There was a bit of luck involved getting the right holds and sequence above the roof. Best climb of the day.

Stonehaven | ||||||
17 16 | ★★ Three Rooves to Glory - with Paul Griffiths | 15m, 9 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Fun route and a bit out there on the final roof. I wasn't expecting that from the ground. I would probably give it 17.
|
||||||
20 | ★★ Fling The Merciless - with Paul Griffiths | 12m, 8 | ★★★ Classic | |||

||||||
18 | ★ Fatality Free - with Paul Griffiths | 15m, 6 | ★★ Very Good | |||

|

Sat 2nd Nov 2019 - Blue Mountains | ||||||
Mount Victoria Area Bardens Lookout Historic Wells | ||||||
21 | ★ Movin' On Up - with Michael Law | 25m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Great climb, would be pretty hard if there wasn't a rest half way. The top section gets a bit thin in places, everything is just not quite as big as you would like it.
|
||||||
14 | ★ Offwidth Joy - with Michael Law | 25m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Really enjoyed these cracks. Well wor having a go at.
|
||||||

Nice beginner route.
|
||||||
17 15 | ★ Dirty Beasts - with Jean | 17m | ★ Good | |||

20 | ★★ Iclimb - with Simon | 15m, 6 | ★★ Very Good | |||

Sun 1st Sep 2019 - Mount Alexandra | ||||||
Manchester United Wall | ||||||
20 | ★★ Manchester United - with Simon | 15m | ★★ Very Good | |||

Sun 1st Sep 2019 - Mount Alexandra | ||||||
Central Area | ||||||
19 | ★★ Deception - with Simon | 15m, 6 | ★★ Very Good | |||

Blackheath Area Mt Boyce Abseil Gully | ||||||
13 | ★ Bonnie Scotland - with Paul Griffiths | 53m | ★★ Very Good | |||
This is a nice climb, the gear can be hard to find in places but it is all there. Probably not a good climb for a beginner at trad.
|
||||||
Sat 15th Jun 2019 - Bonnet Bay | ||||||
21 | ★ Stuck in the City - with Paul Griffiths | 8m, 3 | Average | |||
Ok but nothing special.

Quite good fun, makes a nice alternative trad route to the climb next door.
|
||||||
12 | ★ Tiptoe Ridge - with Paul Griffiths | 12m | ★★ Very Good | |||

Mount Victoria Area Zig Zag Rip Van Winkle Wall | ||||||
16 | ★ Penguin Pete - with Andrew Stevenson | 20m, 3 | ★ Good | |||

|
||||||
14 | Rip - with Veronica Trainor | 20m, 2 | ★ Good | |||
Nice climb up thin crack, set up a trad belay at the top and then spotted the carrots.

Nice easy beginner route.
|
||||||
17 | ★★ Barking Knuckles Pitch 3 Crack Finish | 55m, 19 | ★ Good | |||
Pretty straight forward, the crack is fairly short and I only placed 1 cam in it. Worth doing.
|
||||||
18 | ★★ Here be Dragons - with Paul Griffiths | 52m, 32 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Really fun multi with some varied climbing. The rock doesn't always look the best quality but it all stayed on.
|
||||||
Sat 9th Mar 2019 - Mt Ku-ring-gai | ||||||
Lost & Found Wall | ||||||
13 | ★ Faaip De Oiad | 12m, 4 | ★ Good | |||
Hard first move for a 13, especially if you are short and can't reach the good holds. Did this barefoot as I forgot to bring my shoes over.
|
||||||
16 | ★ Lactose free | 13m, 4 | ★ Good | |||
Hard start for a 16 but easier after the first few moves.
|
||||||

Nice easy warm up on good rock.
|
||||||
Sun 10th Feb 2019 - Blue Mountains | ||||||
Mount Victoria Area Bardens Lookout Little Triggers Wall | ||||||
15 | ★ The Arrow and the Song - with Andrew Stevenson | 26m, 9 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Nice climb, some bits felt harder than 15. Maybe this was because we were rushing it before we got burnt off by the sun.
|
||||||
19 | ★★ Quirrell's Quarrell - with Andrew Stevenson | 25m, 10 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Lots of varied climbing, one of my favorite climbs at the crag.
|
||||||
21 | ★★ Dr Do Little - with Andrew Stevenson | 15m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Good climb, the crux move is hard especially for the short. I did it more dynamically than I should but managed to hold onto it.
|
||||||
21 | ★★ Starman - with Andrew Stevenson | 25m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Mostly easy for a 21 but there was 1 hard sidepull move down low.
|
||||||
Sun 2nd Sep 2018 - Mount Alexandra | ||||||
The Main Cave | ||||||
19 | ★ What Would You Say if I Said to You that this Gun was Loaded? | 20m, 8 | ★★ Very Good | |||

|
||||||

Tianjara Falls Huskinson Homo (Ricky) and the (Graeme) Hill Top hoods gully | ||||||
20 | ★★ Trad Dads Can't Campus - with Andrew Stevenson | 20m, 8 | ★★ Very Good | |||

|
||||||
Sat 30th Jun 2018 - New Nowra - Braidwood Road | ||||||
Tianjara Falls Bag-Dad Wall | ||||||
18 | ★ Roger the Emu - with Andrew Stevenson, Veronica Trainor | 15m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Felt stiff for the warm up but maybe that was because I couldn't feel my hands at that point
|
||||||
22 | ★★ Bunker Bolster - with Andrew Stevenson | 18m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Maybe a little easy for the grade but I will take it. Fun climbing all the way up.
|
||||||
Mon 25th Jun 2018 - Wolgan Valley | ||||||
Coke Ovens Cliff | ||||||
16 | ★ Grunter - with Andrew Stevenson | 51m | ★★ Very Good | |||
I enjoy this type of thing but my partner didn't. The top section was quite dirty. The first pitch up to the tree makes a great beginner corner.
|
||||||
14 | ★★ Organ Grinder - with Andrew Stevenson | 60m | ★★ Very Good | |||
I enjoyed this climb, it had a very trad feel to it and provided plenty of entertainment
|
||||||
19 | ★★★ The Knuckle - with Andrew Stevenson | 52m | ★★★ Classic | |||
This is a great climb, the first pitch is nice technical bridging, the second is easier than it looks from the ground and interesting pulling around the arete. The final pitch is still good climbing.
|
||||||
Mon 25th Jun 2018 - Wolgan Valley | ||||||
Coal Mines Cliff | ||||||
20 | ★★★ Barton's Effort - with Andrew Stevenson | 35m, 8 | ★★★ Classic | |||
I didn't like the start but the rest of the route was amazing. very interesting varied moves all the way up. I felt that the bolts were quite sportingly spaced and it was probably a little hard for the grade but then this is the Wolgan.
|
||||||
17 | ★★ Helzapoppin - with Andrew Stevenson | 45m | ★★ Very Good | |||
The climbing on this route is great, the protection is not as great as the guide makes out. Nuts can often be found in between bolts but they are fiddly and not great.
|
||||||
Sat 12th May 2018 - Blue Mountains | ||||||
Blackheath Area Megalong Valley Crags James Bond Mr Big Area | ||||||
16 | ★ Cold Finger - with Jack | 12m | ★ Good | |||
Nice short sports route.
|
||||||
17 | ★ Casual Assassin - with Jack | 12m | ★ Good | |||
Nice short sports route.
|
||||||
15 | ★ Flying Circus - with Jack | 14m | ★ Good | |||
Nice short sports route.
|
||||||
18 | ★★ Honey Rider - with Jack | 60m | ★★★ Classic | |||
The starting moves are hard for 18 but overall the climb is great. Really enjoyed the sit down belay in the cave.
|
||||||
19 | ★★ Mr Big - with Jack | 75m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Great climbing on the first 2 pitches and then the 3rd pitch in my opinion was the best. Just be careful with the 3rd pitch we had problems pulling the rope, would recommend taking 2 ropes as it says in the guide.
|
||||||
Sat 5th May 2018 - The Cathedral | ||||||
Main Crag | ||||||
18 | ★★ Buffalo Bum - with Jack | 18m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Really good hand crack but the start is hard, probably closer to 20. The other tricky section is where it gets a bit wide for a wile in the middle.
|
||||||
20 | ★★ Wench in a Trench - with Jack | 18m, 2 | ★★ Very Good | |||
What was I thinking picking an offwidth as a warm up climb before 9am and before I had coffee. I wanted a fight today and this climb gave it to me. 3 very distinct sections, the first 2 are offwidth using various techniques to make progress and the 3rd is a really nice hand crack. More people should get on this, I love watching others on Offwidths.

Central Area | ||||||
15 | ★ D Piker's Variant - with Paul Griffiths | 15m, 2 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Nice Climb even if it does feel like a bit of a cop out to go left half way up the corner.
|
||||||
13 | ★ Parents in Pain Variant (Parents in Pain Pussy Variant) - with Paul Griffiths | 20m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Thought I would try the variant this time. Does make it easier but no less fun.
|
||||||

Blackheath Area Mt Boyce Afghan/Girl in the Mirror wall | ||||||
20 | ★★ Compassion Overboard - with Jack | 45m, 8 | ★★★ Classic | |||

|
||||||
Sat 21st Apr 2018 - Blue Mountains | ||||||
Blackheath Area Mt Boyce Abseil Gully | ||||||
16 14 | ★★ Set, Piece, Battle - with Paul Griffiths | 50m, 8 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Fun climbing but if there were carrots there I didn't find them. Gear was spaced in places but there was enough to get by.
