Summit Caves
18 The Digital Revolution Sport 20m, 6 Good
Not to bad at all. Start is interesting (in a good way) but it does turn into generic tibro slopers in the second half. Sat on second bolt to work out the move to the stance. Runout at the end is ok as it's on easy ground. Don't attempt if there is any chance the rock could be wet, the top could be interesting (in a bad way).

6a+ 6b Monahiki Elia Sport 25m, 9 Very Good
Woah! I'm not used to this kind of climbing thuggery, the holds are huge but I just can't hold on for that long! Climb is covered in chalk and blood, it is no doubt less classic than it used to be.

6b Opera Sport 20m Very Good
Nice climbing, sustained good moves. Needed one rest after a trick clip at half height.

 
6c 6b+ Bubuki Sport 25m Very Good
Felt so good through the sustained overhang up to the rest at 2/3 only to be thwarted by the weird sideways holds and arret humping of the last three meters.

Armeos Kasteli
6a+ Ruheloser Pirat Sport 20m Good
Very stiff start on very sharp holds, Could not get it clean. Sustained and sharp the rest of the way.

6b+ Same Same, But Different Sport 20m, 7 Very Good
Redpoint attempt, clean right through to past the last bolt then took a stupid fall when foot slipped.

 
6b+ Same Same, But Different Sport 20m, 7 Very Good
This climb is awesome, traversing over some fun territory, up the big stalactite to the pumpy finish. Rested on the third bolt after the nasty start then clean to the top.

6a+ Up in Smoke Sport 17m, 9 Average
Not bad, slings don't inspire confidence. Made a lot tougher using a grigri and a rope with the handling characteristics of steel cable. Pumped out waiting for slack to clip!

21 DH4 Sport 7m, 3 Very Good
Originally graded 22, downgraded to 20 in the guide, now 21 here. 21 seems about right. Balancy sequence at the start that is very tough to onsite. Top is not difficult but there is no good clipping stance/hold that I could find for the last bolt making it a bit of a heart breaker.

21 Serenade For Rings Sport 17m, 5 Good
With a total disregard for style and technique I trashed my way up this. Not sure if this is a sandbag or I'm just soft?

 
18 Old Scholars Sport 20m, 6 Good
Do I need to say this is hard for the grade... After flailing around on the crux I was almost too pumped to clip the 3rd(?) bolt, just getting there and avoiding an unpleasant fall back to the slab.

 
17 Absentia Sport 20m, 6 Very Good
Wow, maybe it was a 17 in 1994 when it still had holds! Now at the original grade it is a sandbag. Still a great route though.

 
Sat 1st Feb 2014 - Pages Pinnacle
19 Gnarley Sport 18m, 10 Very Good
I'm glad Rob pushed me to do this at the end of the day. I was tired so dogged it. Fun climb though and I'm looking forward to doing it with fresher arms.

 
22 Bombay Rock Sport 18m, 9 Very Good
Sustained first and second halves with a welcome break in between. Got it clean to second last bolt then missed that side pull up to the left. A couple more sits to get to the chains. Still really happy with this shot, it felt good and I had a great time.

 
Sat 18th Jan 2014 - Mt Tibrogargan
Slider Wall
22 Slider Sport 16m, 7 Classic
Clean to last bolt then could not make the reachy move past it while pumped. Sorted out a bit of beta there and worked out a better way to clip the chains. Getting closer.

 
22 Slider Sport 16m, 7 Classic
Forgot where I was going just before the second last bolt, pumped out and took a rest. Then took a couple of falls doing the moves after the last bolt. Still having trouble with the stance for clipping the chains.

22 Slider Sport 16m, 7 Classic
Clean to the last bolt then took a very pumped fall going for the chains. Had to grab the chains once I got there to avoid the big wipper. Pretty happy for a first shot. Really good climb!

19 Something About Sandy Sport 13m, 5 Very Good
Close enough to red point, climbed cleanly through crux from first bolt on second attempt. First half of climb is great, second half nothing special.

Hammerhead Rock
20 Catch Of The Day Sport 10m, 5 Very Good
Yeah, this is a cool climb. Pretty easy but classy moves up the arret to under the roof, then a massive jug haul through the roof. I did not have the stamina to do it cleen after a year nursing the shoulder. Bolts in all the right places make it a chilled affair.

 
15 Grey Nurse Sport 10m, 5 Good
Wow, I found this hard for a 15, seemed harder than the 18s at this crag... But I think I might just have done it the hard way.

21 Wedding Crashers Sport 18m, 5 Very Good
Interesting climb, did ok till the mantle then fell a bunch of times trying to do it the hard way on the left of the ledge. Changed the approach and got up ok in the end.

As expected, hard work. This would be a whole other ball game on lead.

Great climb, closely bolted so pretty chilled even when I took a fall at the crux.

17 Stormy Monday Sport 18m Good
Not quite as nice as the others but still worth doing. I was getting tired and need a rest on the second last bolt.

Seemed harder than I remember. Going to have to build up the strength again for this one.

Seemed harder than 20, glad I was not leading it.

21 Pink Berets Sport 15m, 4 Very Good
Really fun climb, only gets the 21 grade for the overhang. Should have onsited it but missed the pocket over the lip on first attempt, went easily second go.

23 Ninja Tactics Sport 18m, 7 Very Good
Led well by Murray and seconded terribly by me... I've got to get stronger to climb relentless walls like this. Absolute fantastic climbing though and in such an amazing position.

21 Dontworry.com Sport 25m, 10 Classic
I dogged my way up from the bolt on the headwall but I still loved it. Classic climb and deserves three stars. Just when you think it's all over, you're in for another round...

Crux is hard! I was pumped at the chains and took a fall after getting into an awkward position. Annoyed not to get the onsight.

20 Move Over Brussel Sprout Sport 18m, 4 Good
Felt good to right up to the fourth bolt then relaxed and made a mess of the moves up the overhang onto the table. Had to hang on the fourth and think about it before moving on.

 
19 Plunging for Mudbunnies Sport 18m, 4 Good
Grabbed the draw when I had an 'oh shit' moment at the overhang, damn. fun climb.

19 Philosophers Stone Sport 28m, 10 Very Good
3rd ascent of this great new route, one scary moment when a "handhold" broke off 3m above previous bolt not far from top. The start is probably closer to a grade 20-21 move.

20 20 R Kiwi Sport 18m, 5 Good
Just missed out on the onsite, fell at the crux because I was all out of wack on the crux sequence. last move over the overhang were intimidating but there is a 'thank God' hold to make it pretty straight forward when you stand up and commit.

23 Cucumber Castle Sport 18m, 4
I felt terrible on this, was pumped from the start, missed a crucial hold at the crux and spent 10 mins swearing very unsportsman like before I worked it out. Will have to give this another shot soon.

24 Wages of Fear Sport 18m, 5 Classic
Actually got it clean to mid way overhang which took a couple of goes but went easier than I expected in the end. Then cleanly to just below the last bolt before I had to take a decent break and make a few attempts at the final move. Would have gone easier if I had not have missed a crucial hold near the last bolt. It will be a while before I can lead this one.

Finally got around to leading it, was pretty pumped at the last bolt and had to take a break before pushing onto the chains. Great climb.

Black Stump Buttresses
19 Beyond the Black Stump Sport 15m Good
Probably only deserves a 19 for the start, which is very fun. All the same, this climbed seemed a lot harder than it really was after doing "Dreamcatcher". It is very run out to the the 3rd bolt, a fall there would result in an 8m or so fall getting you close to the ground.

 
24 Shake and Bake Sport 15m Good
I dogged my way up but I'm still happy with the effort, it is a tough climb. Second time round on fresh arms I should be able to do it clean(er).

Point Pure
16 Cold Fusion Sport 25m Very Good
Guide says go right after 5th bolt... I went left, ending at the same spot as "Islamic Cowboys Say Jihad RHV"... damn it was hard. Just those last three bolts, way harder than 17, harder than most of the 19s and quite a few of the 20s that I've done. Took two big falls at the second last bolt with big cheers from the people watching at the lookout. Got over the top just in time to see the sun drop below the ridge. One of the most memorable and satisfying climbs I've ever done. Love Brooyar!

Damn this felt hard. Once I was over that blank section I thought it would ease up... not the case at all. Never been more pumped at the top of a climb!

6a Mas que un Carreta Sport 16m Don't Bother
Unpleasent, just did not feel good, fell on second or third bolt. Maybe it was me, maybe it was hard for the grade.
