Sat 17th Dec 2016 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Logan Brae Main Cliff
24 Post Swing Jitters Sport 18m Average
Bam and the whole cliff is ticked. I saved the best to last.. Well not really, its hard, scary and technical. Could do with a couple more bolts and in better positions.

 
25 Hilti's not Guilty Sport 16m Good
After not being able to figure out the moves last time it was good to get this ticked off today. Cool compact route with some hard pulls and a little runout.

Medlow Bath The Sporting Complex
26 Leviathan Sport 32m, 15 Classic
The route you should do if you like to crimp.. Cosmic crux down low followed by dirty but engaging moves up to a good rest before the finally punchy boulder through the top head wall.. Not as sustained as Life but harder for sure.. Second shot after a good scrub and chalk.

I am ticking them off Paul, better bolt some more..

28 Pulse Sport 20m, 7 Classic
Good to take advantage of the cold and wind to get this sent second shot today. Turns out skipping the crux clip is the secret to success.

Leura Sublime Point East Faces Subliminal Wall
26 Sabbatical Sport 80m, 20 Mega Classic
Pretty awesome to finally get a chance to climb the masterpiece routes Pauls has be raving about. After a terrible onsight attempt I fell at the first of three cruxes and just figured out the rest of the moves to the top. Such a long and invoved pitch, pretty rare and special for the mountains. Managed to put it all together second shot thankfully. Go try it while the chalk is fresh.

 
Thu 20th Oct 2016 - Bouddi National Park
Wards Hill Main Wall
25 Lycra lad Sport 15m Classic
After the Onsight went belly up I was thinking this was a long shot. A bit of beta from Jules and trust in my rubber saw me through the seam start then just hold on to the top. Great routes.

 
25 Flash Me Sport 17m Classic
Should of been Onsight but I got strung out on the top slopes and missed the good side pull. Clean it up a shot and a half later. The Start sequence still feels like the crux for me. Such fun climbing.

 
Mon 17th Oct 2016 - Blue Mountains
Katoomba Area Narrow Neck Diamond Falls Mr Wall
28 To Infinity and Beyond Sport 40m Classic
Awesome to tick this off in the wind and rain today. Did it second shot with the Andy man himself on belay. Cracker long pumper with a tricky start and a crimpy crux half way. 25mins on the wall, jugs for days

 
Mon 3rd Oct 2016 - Blue Mountains
Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd Bell Supercrag The Devils Circus
27 Cavern Fever Sport 18m Very Good
Hidden gem for sure, pity the very start is quite hard. Still took me 3 shots, the top headwall moves are sequency and sustained but on great rock.. I feel its still solid 26 from the lay down rest.

 
Sat 17th Sep 2016 - Arapiles
The Watchtower Faces Pinnacle Face Tiptoe Ridge Area
5 Tiptoe Ridge Trad 120m Classic
A great easy way to finish a great gramps trip with friends.

Spurt Wall
28 Spurt Girl Sport 15m, 4 Classic
Dream route. Felt supringly easy but still had to pull hard to send second shot. I think it helps bring tall with strong fingers.

 
Wed 14th Sep 2016 - Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre
Spurt Wall
29 Tyranny Sport 12m, 4 Classic
So psyched!! I have always seen people trying this but never thought I would try it myself. This climb really suited my style, big moves between big holds. So surprised to send this second shot.

 
Tue 13th Sep 2016 - Victoria Range
Buandik Area Millennium Caves
28 Tunnel to Caracas Sport 15m, 5 Classic
Super surprise sent. My rainy day project. Lloyd had the draws up so I gave it a lash and sent second shot. Pushy stem start to blind underclings, catch a breath then power out the woody problem crux and into the roof jugs. I found a heel and toe pocket that saved my failing arns.

 
Mon 12th Sep 2016 - Victoria Range
Mt Fox Area Muline Crag
29 Eye Of The Tiger Sport 25m, 10 Mega Classic
Holy shit, the best climb I have ever done. Sent first shot of the day even though I felt heavy and had to down climb the top crux for a rest. First 8a

Chop Chip Wall
26 Crucified Sport 13m, 5 Classic
I was very keen to clean up this old gem.. Super fun climbing with very involved and sequenced moves through the crux. 4 holds in 4 metres.. Still took 3 shots..

 
Sun 21st Aug 2016 - The Hide Away
The Ghetto Cave
26 Hats and Bats Sport 15m, 6 Very Good
FFA. Flashed First ascent.. All the hard moves are in the Riot Wing start, get a good rest half way then seek on for bigger holds.. Thanx for gifting me your old project Matt.

The Prow Wall
23 Booby Traps Sport 15m, 7 Good
Was happy to walk away with a dog on this one as the way I was trying the crux was 25+ Thankfully Paul found some slightly easier beta and I sent second shot.. Still hard work for a 3 in my eyes.

 
Thu 18th Aug 2016 - Nowra
The Grotto Cliffline The Colosseum
23 Chocolate Jollies Sport 11m, 3 Very Good
Redefines 23, pretty solid climbing with pumpy and crimping moves to a interesting last move. All this after the reachy V3 boulder at the first bolt.

 
22 Barbie's Bitchin' Sport 9m, 3 Good
Not the warm up we were looking for.. A tad bit easier after a good brush and chalk but no give away..

 
Mon 8th Aug 2016 - The Balkans
The Frontline The Main Wall
V7 Pockets of Resistance Boulder 6m Classic
Finally the pockets are done!! Pretty scary doing the slab at night. So many ways to do this problem and they are all hard.

The Grotto Cliffline The Grotto Proper
24 How Much Can A Koala Bear? Sport 25m Very Good
Punted it. Got up to the crux, wrote off a crucial hold and got strung out in the never never on crapola holds.. Still felt hard to me on the second shot??

 
Sat 30th Jul 2016 - The Hide Away
The Ghetto Cave
27 Riot Wing Sport 15m, 9 Classic
I said I would give it a try Neil.

More awesome roof jugs. V5 boulder with a couple of clips then join Ghetto just before the knee bar. Not too bad for the grade if you can pump. Second shot.

 
28 Ghetto Superstar Sport 23m, 13 Mega Classic
First shot today

Clipped the anchor from the bad holds, Now for the extension..

 
Sat 30th Jul 2016 - The Hide Away
Descent Gully Wall
12 I'd Rather Be Sport 10m, 4 Good
No bolts at all on this one, still just as easy as the descent gully.

 
Mon 18th Jul 2016 - Frederick Peak
North Sentinel Fishbowl
27 Beast From The Deep Sport 17m, 12 Classic
Awesome endurance route. Got two thirds up on the flash attempt before the pump set in. I was pretty worried about the undercling blocks before the anchours but thankfully found a sneaky rest before the last moves for the second shot send The manky start can be avoided if you find the right Holds. Great route.

 
24 20 Pieces of Silver Sport 15m, 8 Very Good
Got my hands mixed up at the crux first lap. Still feel tricky on the send. Sweet little climb, funky style.

 
Sun 10th Jul 2016 - Bouddi National Park
Wagstaffe - Lobster Cave
25 Calamari Sport 8m, 5 Good
Short and hard. Easy up to the roof then a roof boulder via an edge and blob. Felt pretty hard but changed the beta and sent 3 shot.
