Sun 3rd Dec 2023 - Coalcliff
The Post Office
17 Postman Pat Sport 8m, 3 Good
Burly from go to wo. Not the warmup.

 
Wed 11th Jan 2023 - Blue Mountains
Mount Victoria Area Mount York Collits Crevasse
20 Rock'n Roll Suicide Sport 20m Good
Not the best warmup. Really nice climbing and sustained start, even once you've found the right holds.

 
Sun 8th Jan 2023 - Blue Mountains
Leura Sublime Point West Face (Main Area) Middle Cliffs Binary Cave
24 ~23 Survival Day Sport 20m, 10 Very Good
Interesting climbing and cool crux. Lots of intermediates and a kneebar mean you'd have to be pretty short to not reach.

 
Sun 24th Jan 2021 - Scarborough Cliffs
Kenny's Wall
20 21 OMG Its a Goddamn Whale Plague Sport 13m, 8 Very Good
lap to clean, lap to tick. Nice movement.

 
Sat 12th Sep 2020 - Blue Mountains
Newnes Plateau Gardens of Stone State Conservation Area Bung Crag The Red Wall
22 23 Panem ethics Sport 18m, 10 Good
Missed by >< much. One move wonder. The rest is nice but straight forward. Could call it 21 with a straight face.

 
Fri 17th Jan 2020 - Stanwell Tops
Stonehaven
21 Snack My Bitch Up Sport 12m, 8 Good
Only a little contrived mostly due to squeeze. Do the final faces moves before finishing at arete. Pumpy as $*%@. Thought it would be easy on return visit - wrong!

 
Mon 30th Dec 2019 - Stanwell Tops
Stonehaven
22 Pump left out Sport 15m, 5 Very Good
Short but nicely sustained to a punchy crux. Not the 18 warmup I was looking for.

 
23 Warrior of Light Sport 18m, 8 Very Good
Bottom is really good. Crux is putting the last draw on.

 
Thu 26th Dec 2019 - Scarborough Cliffs
Kenny's Wall
18 19 OMG They Killed Kenny Sport 10m, 6 Good
Follow the bolts at your own risk. Not the warmup I was looking for.

 
Sun 22nd Dec 2019 - The Hide Away
The Prow Wall
21 23 The Foot Fetish Sport 15m, 5 Good
Can only assume FA didn't find secret undercling hole just right of 2nd bolt or are really tall/short. Undercling/mantle move to high feet and stand. Some insecure feet for 3rd bolt with tensiony undercling to crimp and high right foot and stand. Standard 20/21 slab stuff. Really fun and interesting but 23 gives the wrong message, stops you looking for the 2nd bolt hidden hold and makes you think 3rd bolt is gonna be nails. All easier than the OP crux.

 
Sat 23rd Nov 2019 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Gateway, Doomsday & Fort Rock Fort Rock Crag
22 Company C Sport 16m Good
bit cruxy. Exploding undercling

 
Sat 2nd Nov 2019 - Blue Mountains
Mount Victoria Area Ikara, Victorialand, Odin Head, Thor Head Victoria Falls Left Side Upper
21 Spasmo's on Acid Sport 24m, 9 Very Good
Shoulda done the off-balance crimpy bulge 1st time rather than trying to boulder out the direct gaston. Sneaky way out left via hidden pocket that is best option and climbs great.

 
Fri 27th Jul 2018 - Cinderella Crag
Pitt Street Wall
21 23 Unchained Sport 25m Classic
Top to bottom stunning moves. Such a wonderful mix of flowing movement on great stone. The pocket pulls, the locked in high traverse, the funky finish.

Suited my style, good conditions? But 4 weeks on the couch and a gammy knee? 21 seems right. Maybe the low traverse is 23 - looks slopy and awkward enough.

 
Sun 20th Nov 2016 - Stanwell Tops
Hargraves Wall
23 In Lieu of the Gym Sport 12m, 4 Very Good
3 cool rooflets. Lay off the pocket on the 1st. Unlikely pinch undercling for the 2nd. Wild left hand undercling and right foot backstep level with your hand to finish. Slightly contrived to not wander over to BtS at the finish.

 
Sun 30th Oct 2016 - The Hide Away
The Prow Wall
22 Jack Spaniel Sport 14m, 6 Good
Hard start and finish. Good moves

 
23 Hidden Gem Sport 12m, 6 Good
Good top half. Sneakily pumpy with some weirdness over the bulge, leading it harder moves and final heartbreaker. Slight self sandbag at 22.

 
Sun 30th Oct 2016 - The Hide Away
Descent Gully Wall
22 Gettin Wet Sport 10m, 5 Average
Not the best warmup but fun climbing. Somehow didn't fall off.

 
Sun 22nd May 2016 - Lucas Heights
23 24 Cortisone Sport 15m, 7 Good
Slip low down first go. Not quite as awesome as it looks but clean and dry! A few fun first crux moves (start right rather than direct over bolt) into some trad leg and potentially scrotum slicing sitdown action, a couple of quick slaps and then cool (mostly solid) jugs. Pumpy little number.

 
Sun 24th Apr 2016 - Blue Mountains
Mount Victoria Area Corroboree Walls Disneyland
10 Unknown Gridbolt for kids? Sport 24m, 10 Good
Good for the kids

 
Sat 19th Mar 2016 - The Cathedral
Main Crag
23 Hercules Extension (Hercules Direct Finish) Sport 22m Classic
The extension tips it into classic. Not that hard a crux move, not that easy a slab. Different solution for short and tall people.

 
Mon 4th Jan 2016 - Blue Mountains
Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd Bell Supercrag Fox Hole
23 Mango Chutney Sport 16m Very Good
Very cruisy today. Knowing the lower crux and having the draws on changes everything. Was very fresh at the top which is important.

 
24 The Apricot Slot Sport 14m, 9 Good
Fell off due to Jason's fear of pockets and smacking my elbow into the wall instead of a casual sidepull. Great link into Plumtastic. Good easy climbing with one goey move off the slope to the ledge. Punching to the slope out right near the Plumtastic bolt might make this an easier and better (soft?) 23.

 
Wed 4th Nov 2015 - The Paradiso
21 Man's Machine Sport 32m, 10 Very Good
Would be classic in the blueys. Bouldery crux that I did by going onto the right face. Fun climbing on spaced bolts, a little route-finding delicate step-around and not to be rushed finish.

 
Sun 21st Jan 2007 - Blue Mountains
Mount Victoria Area Renitz Pass
22 Trad Exterminator Sport 30m Good
Dejaflash. Very nice sustained bottom followed by delicate climbing above ledges.

 
Sun 7th May 2006 - Nowra
Thompson's Point The Pocketed Wall
22 Electro Rooter (Electro Rooter 160) Sport 12m Very Good
10 years in the making. Fell at the top more times than I can remember. Still couldn't do it first go today.

 
Sun 24th Apr 2005 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Logan Brae Main Cliff
24 Rain Maker Sport 18m, 6 Very Good
Burly. Go to top. Last climb before broken hands

 
Sun 13th Feb 2005 - Hillwood (private land)
Matto Grosso The Wailing Wall
23 Wrath or Revival Sport 13m Good
Fell off at 1st bolt.

 
Sat 12th Feb 2005 - Hillwood (private land)
Matto Grosso The Dungeon
25 Bozon Sport 12m Classic
insecure 2nd clip. Onsighted the rest of it. Beautiful slopers. OS crux at 4th bolt. Misleading at 5th. A brush helps with the chalk down low.

 
Sun 21st Nov 2004 - Joll's Bridge
Lower cliffline
25 Golden Shower Sport 12m, 5 Good
Nice moves. chipped. 3 stars? The authors need to get out more.

Sat 11th Sep 2004 - Nowra

24 Stolen Property Sport 10m, 4 Good
boulder, to slab, to desperate slap, to tough finish.

Fri 9th Apr 2004 - Blue Mountains

24 Strawberry Blonde Sport 18m, 9 Good
Bit scary 1st time going around the bulge, but yes there is eventually a bolt.

 
Wed 17th Mar 2004 - Blue Mountains
