29 Eye Of The Tiger Sport 25m, 10 Victoria Range Mega Classic Mon 12th Sep 2016
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

 
29 Tyranny Sport 12m, 4 Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre Classic Wed 14th Sep 2016
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.

 
28 Ghetto Superstar Sport 23m, 13 The Hide Away Mega Classic Sat 30th Jul 2016
First shot today

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

 
28 Tunnel to Caracas Sport 15m, 5 Victoria Range Classic Tue 13th Sep 2016
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.

 
28 Spurt Girl Sport 15m, 4 Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre Classic Thu 15th Sep 2016
Dream route. Felt supringly easy but still had to pull hard to send second shot. I think it helps bring tall with strong fingers.

 
28 To Infinity and Beyond Sport 40m Blue Mountains Classic Mon 17th Oct 2016
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

 
28 Pulse Sport 20m, 7 Blue Mountains Classic Sun 13th Nov 2016
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.

 
27 Beast From The Deep Sport 17m, 12 Frederick Peak Classic Mon 18th Jul 2016
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.

 
27 Riot Wing Sport 15m, 9 The Hide Away Classic Sat 30th Jul 2016
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.

 
27 Cavern Fever Sport 18m Blue Mountains Very Good Mon 3rd Oct 2016
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.

 
26 Hats and Bats Sport 15m, 6 The Hide Away Very Good Sun 21st Aug 2016
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.

 
26 Crucified Sport 13m, 5 The Hide Away Classic Sun 21st Aug 2016
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..

 
26 Sabbatical Sport 80m, 20 Blue Mountains Mega Classic Wed 26th Oct 2016
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.

 
26 Leviathan Sport 32m, 15 Blue Mountains Classic Sat 19th Nov 2016
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..

 
25 Calamari Sport 8m, 5 Bouddi National Park Good Sun 10th Jul 2016
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.

 
25 Flash Me Sport 17m Bouddi National Park Classic Thu 20th Oct 2016
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.

 
25 Lycra lad Sport 15m Bouddi National Park Classic Thu 20th Oct 2016
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 Hilti's not Guilty Sport 16m Blue Mountains Good Sat 17th Dec 2016
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.

 
24 20 Pieces of Silver Sport 15m, 8 Frederick Peak Very Good Mon 18th Jul 2016
Got my hands mixed up at the crux first lap. Still feel tricky on the send. Sweet little climb, funky style.

 
24 How Much Can A Koala Bear? Sport 25m Nowra Very Good Fri 5th Aug 2016
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??

 
24 Post Swing Jitters Sport 18m Blue Mountains Average Sat 17th Dec 2016
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.

 
23 Chocolate Jollies Sport 11m, 3 Nowra Very Good Thu 18th Aug 2016
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.

 
23 Booby Traps Sport 15m, 7 The Hide Away Good Sun 21st Aug 2016
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.

 
22 Barbie's Bitchin' Sport 9m, 3 Nowra Good Thu 18th Aug 2016
Not the warm up we were looking for.. A tad bit easier after a good brush and chalk but no give away..

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

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

 
5 Tiptoe Ridge Trad 120m Arapiles Classic Sat 17th Sep 2016
A great easy way to finish a great gramps trip with friends.
