22 | ★★★ Hotel California - with Andrew | 330m | Blue Mountains | ★★★ Classic | Sun 12th Oct 2014 | |||
Nice climb, as others have said it is a hard start pitch especially with a heavy bag. The traverse pitch is the pick of the bunch. Overall a very good adventure. 7 hours car to car.

22 | ★★ Moonage Daydream - with Adam Mujaj | 30m, 6 | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Sat 13th May 2017 | |||

21 | ★ Positive Ape Factor (Variant Finish) - with Andrew Stevenson | 10m | Berowra | ★★ Very Good | Sun 5th Jul 2015 | |||
Great climb, if I was a bit taller I am sure I could make the direct finish.
|
||||||||
21 | ★ Archaeopteryx - with Andrew Stevenson | 45m, 14 | Blue Mountains | ★ Good | Sun 28th Aug 2016 | |||
This route could be very good if the rock wasn't bad in several places. My partner pulled off quite a sizeable hold.
|
||||||||
19 | ★ Savage Cabbage - with Andrew Stevenson | 8m | Berowra | ★★ Very Good | Sat 20th Jul 2019 | |||
Just a quick run on top rope, still feels hard for 19.

20 | ★★ Randy Rabbit Ridge - with Andrew Stevenson | 280m, 99 | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Sat 19th Mar 2016 | |||
Great new addition to the area, my favourite pitches were 2 and 8 but there was a good amount of climbing throughout.
WARNING: If you are going to climb it any time soon be careful we manage to pull off so pretty large holds. I am sure that this will clear up over time. |
||||||||
20 | ★★ Bohemiath - with Paul Griffiths | 37m, 14 | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Sat 27th Aug 2016 | |||
Nice climb, fairly solid at the grade. Did a 1 long pitch.
|
||||||||
20 | ★★★ The Phoenix - with Andrew Stevenson | 45m | Blue Mountains | ★★★ Classic | Sun 28th Aug 2016 | |||
Awesome climb. It was a bit of an adventure to get to, thanks for all of the fixed ropes. Once you get there and look down the climb you know that you are in for some fun.
A great continuous crackline that just eats gear. There were 2 tricky section but nothing too hard, would have helped if my fingers were a bit fatter. |
||||||||
20 | ★★ Woodface - with Jack, Amanda | 40m | Joll's Bridge | ★★★ Classic | Sat 5th Aug 2017 | |||
I did the original route this time as I had done the direct before. There is quite a hard move going up just after you move left onto the original route.
The top pitch is still awesome and hard for what it is. |

20 | ★ Hearts and Minds - with Adam Mujaj | 30m | Blue Mountains | ★ Good | Sat 13th May 2017 | |||
Something must have fallen off this as there is no way the crux is 20. The start is a bit sketchy too with no decent gear before the first bolt.
|

20 18 | ★★★ Central Direct - with Andrew Stevenson | 110m | Wolgan Valley | ★★ Very Good | Mon 25th Sep 2017 | |||
We had an interesting time on this climb.
P1 felt very hard for 18 (probably closer to 20) especially the moves around the diagonal left leaning ledge. We belayed from the same anchors as you use for the rap descent. P2 looked quite hard up to the first bolt which was about 5m off the belay, managed to put gear in the break and fiddle some interesting gear into a hole before getting to the bolt. There was a fair run out to the next bolt which I didn't see until it was right in front of my face and then I could see no more bolts. I moved up carefully and still didn't see any more bolts or gear so decided to head up what looked like an easy looking ramp to a crack/corner where I hoped there would be gear. Luckly I found some which was nice because I was about 12m run out at this point. I climbed the arete of the corner and turned the small roof before making it to the left hand side of the large cave where I set up a belay with the minimal gear that I had left (only took a small amount as I was expecting bolts). At this point we had a read of the guide and figured that we were at the top of pitch 3 and had somehow skipped a whole pitch. Last pitch was pretty much as described, traversing out of the sandy cave and crimping on sandy ledges was not fun but we made it to the top in one piece. A great adventure climb up a sea of rock, just don't come expecting a grade 18 sport climb, think grade 20 trad climb with thought provoking run outs and you will be fine (we found a couple more bolts that we missed on rap but they were fairly hidden). |
