Wed 9th Nov 2016 - Red River Gorge
Natural Bridge Region Roadside Crag
5.11d Ro Shampo Sport 18m Classic
Stuffed the crux sequence on my first shot. Sent second.

 
5.11d The Return of Chris Snyder Sport 29m Mega Classic
Dream route, a fantastic voyage covering all types of styles. Super pumpy, second shot

 
Wed 9th Nov 2016 - Red River Gorge
Southern Region Bald Rock Recreational Preserve (BRRP) The Motherlode
5.11a Injured Reserve Sport 18m, 5 Good
Grab the wrong hold at the crux,and there's not backing out. Fun.

 
5.11a Snapper Sport 15m, 7 Very Good
Foot slip. Doh!

 
Wed 9th Nov 2016 - Red River Gorge
Natural Bridge Region The Zoo
5.10d Jailbird Sport Good
I forgot how to hold small holds on a slab, felt nails in the sun.

 
Sun 23rd Oct 2016 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Centennial Glen Junket Pumper Area
24 Junket Pumper Sport 15m Very Good
It took me way to many goes to get this, but marked my progression as a climber. Now it's worked into the Glen warm up circuit.

 
Sun 9th Oct 2016 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Centennial Glen Main Wall
24 Ratcat Sport 14m Very Good
Really good climb for a boulderer. 3 cruxes with 2 good rests. Would have sent second shot, but I must have been thinking about the cinnamon scroll in my bag, because I had to redevelop a sequence for the last crux. Sent third shot, and still felt relatively fresh at the anchor. Rubber Lover, Apraxia, Ratcat, and Junket Pumper are all the same...don't pump out then high crimp sequence to glory. Good thing to be tackling them all at once

 
Sun 25th Sep 2016 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Centennial Glen Main Wall
24 25 Madge McDonald Sport 12m, 7 Classic
Fell off the last move second shot, then resorted the beta and sent on the third.

 
Sat 25th Jun 2016 - The Cathedral
Main Crag
20 Retro Crack Sport 25m, 8 Classic
My oldest dog, and a mirror of my main weaknesses. Hiked it today first shot.

 
21 Medieval Remedies Mixed trad 25m, 4 Good
Foot slipped before the first bolt at about 4m, and I was caught falling back first by a green totem, my new favorite cam. I was ecstatic to finally cross that mental barrier. I sent right after ,and the route was really good, but contrived up top. You have to choose to do the crux, and find yourself packed in between too many lines.

 
Sun 8th May 2016 - Blue Mountains
Mount Victoria Area Bardens Lookout Adults Only Cave
23 24 A Most Profligate Sinner Sport 18m Very Good
2nd shot after hanging the draws. 1 tough move, but a great route.

 
Sun 24th Apr 2016 - Blue Mountains
Mount Victoria Area Boronia Point Main Wall (Ferris Cave)
23 Lyptus Sport 23m, 8 Classic
Totally underestimated this route. It can be very reachy through the crux, and there are a lot of big moves. Sent second shot.

 
Sat 16th Apr 2016 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Porters Pass Chasing Amy Wall
23 Cutopia Sport 20m Classic
Great way to get back into thin crimpy sequences, and a good compliment to the adjacent 22.

 
22 Spread 'em Baby Sport 25m Classic
Best climb on the wall, and a good warm up. A bit of a classic at the grade, full weight bearing head height kneebar for victory.

 
Wed 23rd Dec 2015 - Launceston (Cataract) Gorge
The Sunny Side Feltham Buttress
19 Out of Date Route Sport 14m, 3 Very Good
I was getting annihilated by the sun, and dry fired off the first hold.

 
Sat 8th Aug 2015 - Nowra
Thompson's Point Betty Blue Area
24 Betty Blue Sport 20m Classic
Hadn't been on this in ages, and needed to create new beta for the crux. Top sloper section is kinda shit.

 
Sat 8th Aug 2015 - Nowra
Thompson's Point Vine Wall
24 Chunk To Chunky Sport 25m Classic
Very classy.

 
Sat 8th Aug 2015 - Nowra
Thompson's Point Sloth Area
22 The Other White Meat Sport 12m Very Good
It's on from the moment you pull on, and trades hold size for pump above the crux.. Not my strength, but I love a good flogging

 
Sun 26th Jul 2015 - GFC
Tiger Wall
21 FUnked Up - with Grant Stewart Sport 12m Good
Misread the move on the warm up, sent 2nd shot

 
Sat 11th Jul 2015 - Nowra
Thompson's Point Carpark Canyon Black Slabbath
23 Ces poches sont Naturels Sport 16m, 6 Classic
This is too classy for Bundy . Spectacular route, techo and a bit burly to start. Would be mega with a few more moves. 2nd shot.

 
Sat 4th Jul 2015 - Nowra
Thompson's Point Lizard Block
21 23 Carnivaughan Sport 15m, 6 Average
Headed for an onsite until a hold snapped. The rock is quite shit around these climbs.

 
21 Gorilla Gardening Sport 15m, 6 Very Good
Give this another grade, and again for an onsite. Don't warm up on this line, it is actually quite fantastic, but is very tricky to read and gives not quarter through a long crux sequence in the middle.

 
Sat 27th Jun 2015 - Nowra
The Grotto Cliffline The Grotto Proper
20 Throbbing Pole Of Love Sport 15m, 7 Very Good
By the skin of my teeth. Love the sandbag.

 
Sat 27th Jun 2015 - Nowra
Thompson's Point Betty Blue Area
21 A Day at the Beach Sport 15m, 6 Good
Meh

 
21 Vague Flake Sport 15m Classic
Will get even better...

 
Sat 13th Jun 2015 - Nowra
Thompson's Point Sloth Area
21 Diprotodon Sport 22m Classic
2nd shot. That start move is tough.

 
Sat 13th Jun 2015 - Nowra
The Grotto Cliffline Gonads Wall
22 Pissed-Up Porker Stalker Sport 22m, 9 Very Good
Fell doing a silly throw instead of thinking the move out first. 2nd shot, cruisey.

 
21 Word on a Wing Sport 22m Very Good
Tough to warm up if you don't know the crux sequence or are under six foot. 2nd shot

 
22 Violent Flemm Sport 22m Very Good
Brilliant sustained climbing

 
23 Bondage and Discipline Sport 23m Classic
I forgot the safe word...and loved it.

 
Sat 9th May 2015 - Victoria Range
Buandik Area The Gallery
23 Chain of Fools - with Rob Medlicott, Paul Frothy Thomson Sport 15m Very Good
First route in the gramps, not much was dry today. Great rock.

 
Sun 26th Apr 2015 - Blue Mountains
Leura Sublime Point West Face (Main Area) Middle Cliffs Binary Cave
25 Taxi Driver Sport 20m, 9 Good
First shot today, executed the crux statically. That move is way harder than Swinging in the Rain, and with a pumpier headwall before hand. I don't like raising grades, but that is the conclusion drawn by a few of today's ascensionists.

 
Sun 19th Apr 2015 - Blue Mountains
Leura Sublime Point West Face (Main Area) Middle Cliffs Binary Cave
25 Thunderstruck - with Lewyy Sport 45m, 17 Very Good
A great line, slightly tainted by some choss through the middle, but the location doesn't get much better. Second shot today.

 
Sat 11th Apr 2015 - Blue Mountains
Leura Sublime Point West Face (Main Area) Middle Cliffs Binary Cave
25 Swinging In The Rain - with Lewyy Sport 20m, 13 Very Good
Went easily on the second shot. Well earned after a face full of semi-dry bird poo in the roof.

 
Sun 5th Apr 2015 - Nowra
Thompson's Point The Pocketed Wall
21 Lick The Pig - with Lewyy Sport 10m Good
Great with a bit of crack lowering the quality through the middle. It helps to have big muscle strength with strong fingers for the shallow pockets.

 
Sat 4th Apr 2015 - Nowra
Bomaderry Creek South Central
22 Hunted Child - with Lewyy Sport 8m Very Good
Worked my butt off for this. Just had to tweak my beta at the high crux, sendage.

 
23 Crime Is Art - with Lewyy Sport 10m Very Good
Did this back in 12/14.

 
Sat 28th Mar 2015 - Blue Mountains
Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd Bell Supercrag The Blowhole
24 Blowtorch - with Lewyy Sport 18m, 10 Classic
First shot today, second overall, stoked. Bomber rock, and nice bouldering moves between great rests. Thanks for hanging the draws Luigi!

 
Fri 27th Mar 2015 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Porters Pass Dogs, Cats & Apples Wall
22 Nylon Happy - with Lewyy Sport 20m, 8 Classic
Yeah, those moves were rad. Fell up high by mixing up my sequence. 2nd shot

 
Sat 14th Mar 2015 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Shipley Upper Hot Flyer Wall
23 Hot Flyer Sport 25m Classic
Fantastic. Stuffed the high undercling crux on the onsite. Second go, no worries.

 
22 Lardy Lady's Lats (The Lardy Lady's Lats) Sport 25m, 13 Very Good
Great route. Harder slab to start and then an easier (than hot flyer) crux, but very techy (my fail). Second shot.

 
Mon 9th Mar 2015 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Shipley Upper Sandwiches Wall
22 These People are Sandwiches Sport 15m Classic
Fell at the roof using silly footwork, then straight to the top. Second Shot ticked, and a great way to end the extended weekend.

 
Sun 8th Mar 2015 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Centennial Glen Wave Wall
23 Off the Lip Sport 15m, 7 Good
Done hanging the draws

 
Sat 7th Mar 2015 - Evans Crown
Deckout Buttress
17 Space Invaders Sport 20m, 4 Good
Johnny Dawes start for the win!

 
19 Spare the Hammer Sport 15m, 4 Good
Every crux here is getting up to the first bolt. Freaking runout after you pray the flake won't snap.

 
20 Bloodbath Sport 15m, 4 Very Good
Best climb of the day. Sequencey start.

 
Sun 1st Mar 2015 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Centennial Glen Wave Wall
24 Jaqueline Hyde Sport 15m, 6 Very Good
Would be classic if the third bolt wasn't such a task to place the draw. Had a look at the extension... Two easy moves then (?).

 
24 The Tube Sport 12m Good
Your choice of hand placement on the first move likely determines success. Wish it was ten meters longer. Jugs the whole way.

 
Sat 21st Feb 2015 - Blue Mountains
Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd Bell Supercrag Arrivals (Lower)
23 Truffle Shuffle - with Heath Black Sport 15m, 12 Good
Way easier when fresh, hanging the draws today. Enjoyable, but could be even better connecting this start to Rocky Road.

 
Sat 21st Feb 2015 - Blue Mountains
Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd Bell Supercrag Duck Wall
22 Daffy Sport 20m Very Good
I surrendered at the low crux to conserve energy for the remainder of the day...uber pumpy. Second shot was a great experience Could be a suitable warm up if you are familiar with the route.

 
Sat 14th Feb 2015 - Mt Gibraltar
Main Wall
22 20 the Italian Route Sport 20m Good
The crux sequence is as hard as the 22 next door, but not as good, and with heaps of chossy flakes.

 
Thu 12th Feb 2015 - Blue Mountains
Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd Bell Supercrag Arrivals (Lower)
22 Rocky Road - with Jason Lammers Sport 15m Good
The moves get better in quality above the tough start. Rock quality brings down the rating a bit... Might have flashed if a handhold stayed put, who knows.

 
Thu 12th Feb 2015 - Blue Mountains
Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd Bell Supercrag The Blowhole
20 Araldite (Megan 1) - with Jason Lammers Sport 20m Average
Fell at the 1st bolt like everyone else. Just start to the right, I imagine it would be more pleasant. Rad move at second bolt.

 
Fri 6th Feb 2015 - Lucas Heights
24 Reactorvate - with Heath Black Sport 13m, 5 Classic
A super route, and I wish it was longer. Hot tip, just keep punching after the sloper traverse. Just because other people are bringing in the comparison, Lean Beef is definitely harder, but not as technical.

 
Sat 24th Jan 2015 - Bourbon Wall
21 Bulleit Sport 13m, 5 Very Good
Conditions were South East Asian today. Blew off the top jugs after taking my sweet time through the hard bits.

 
Wed 7th Jan 2015 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Centennial Glen Wave Wall
23 Split Wave Sport 20m Classic
1st shot today, and very enjoyable when you're not already thrashed.

 
Wed 7th Jan 2015 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Centennial Glen Main Wall
23 Nev Herrod Sport 12m, 5 Very Good
Good warm up if you've been on it before. I didn't bump my right hand up before the crux throw and fell. 2nd shot easy.

 
23 Acceptably Cosmic Sport 10m Average
One of my oldest dogs. Easy moves, but the pump still almost got me at the anchors. 1st shot

 
Tue 6th Jan 2015 - Blue Mountains
Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd The Dam Cliffs Gulf War Wall
22 Sister Rosa Sport 18m, 8 Very Good
Hot tip, don't follow the chalk on the first few moves. Sent straight after a beta spray.

 
Mon 5th Jan 2015 - Blue Mountains
Mount Victoria Area Bardens Lookout Goats Meat Cave
23 Goats Meat - with Matt Brooks Sport 25m, 12 Very Good
Great ending and nice exposure. Why not double up on midway lower offs instead of a single non locking biner? Best warm up for the harder climbs when you know the moves.

 
Mon 6th Oct 2014 - Blue Mountains
Leura Sublime Point West Face (Main Area) Middle Cliffs Binary Cave
23 24 Survival Day Sport 20m, 10 Average
That move is at the absolute limit of my wingspan.

 
Mon 29th Sep 2014 - Alfords Point
Alfords Point Main Area
20 Necropolis Kidney Sport 15m Good
Hardest route all day, death by sun and sand.

 
Sat 13th Sep 2014 - Nowra
Thompson's Point Alley Wall
19 Tour Of Duty Sport 14m, 5 Classic
Hard to onsight, with some sneaky holds

 
21 23 V Lix The Cat Sport 15m Average
Very contrived, and there are better climbs on the wall.

 
Mon 8th Sep 2014 - Blue Mountains
Leura Sublime Point West Face (Main Area) Middle Cliffs Ben Trovato Wall
23 Reigning Steel Sport 17m, 7 Very Good
Warm up?

 
Sat 30th Aug 2014 - Blue Mountains
Leura Sublime Point West Face (Main Area) Middle Cliffs Binary Cave
20 Rock Snob Sport 12m, 4 Crap
Two crux approaches to this pile of choss: 1)tall people to the left, 2)all others to the right.

 
Sat 2nd Aug 2014 - Nowra
Thompson's Point Lizard Block
19 18 Lazy Lizard Sport 15m, 5 Very Good
Very disappointed to have not fought for the good slopers.

 
Sat 2nd Aug 2014 - Nowra
Thompson's Point Sloth Area
22 Nowra-cised Sport 10m, 3 Good
I'm not very creative when trying to solve a crux. Easy on second shot.

 
Sat 26th Jul 2014 - Bungonia Gorge
South Wall - Little Thai Wall
19 20 Lame Duck - with Jake Sport 15m Average
First experience on limestone...yeah, not great. Full on and sequency for a warm up. I said no to the flash pump. Gilding the Lily is a better first climb.

 
22 A Tufa to Far - with Jake Sport 25m Good
Almost got the flash, but anchor access required a sequence and not a blind throw. Got it second shot, cool slab to start, but the top is chossssss.

 
Tue 22nd Jul 2014 - Bonnet Bay
24 Lean Beef Sport 15m, 6 Classic
So many dynos, so much foot cutting, had to dial in the throw through the second crux. It reminds me of a harder version of "welcome to the body shop".

 
Sat 19th Jul 2014 - The Woolwash
The Junkyard Cave
24 The Junkyard Dog Sport 17m Very Good
There are no unique or hard moves, but the position is cool. Stuffed up the the onsight moving to the upper break.

 
23 Penriff girls put out. Sport 7 Good
Sequency after the campus. Not hard on second shot, but over very quickly. CG may be a more interesting version.

 
Sat 12th Jul 2014 - Nowra
Thompson's Point The Grease Cave
23 Pulling On the Porcelain Sport 12m Classic
2 kneebars and a sit on the stone pony...thanks for the armor, Ben. Enter sandman next.

 
Fri 11th Jul 2014 - Alfords Point
Alfords Point Main Area
20 21 Sister Moon Sport 15m, 6 Good
Tough nut. Desperate move at second bolt.

 
Sat 5th Jul 2014 - Nowra
Thompson's Point Sloth Area
20 Sidetrack Sport 18m, 7 Good
Got lost because it goes all over the joint, but added extra style by going over the rooflet with a heel hook, and layback. Skipped the last bolt and ran it out 6 or 7 meters.

 
Sat 28th Jun 2014 - The Hide Away
The Prow Wall
22 Jack Spaniel Sport 14m, 6 Good
Struggled with someone else's techie beta down low. Regrouped, and sent immediately using thug power.

 
21 Hawk Habitat Sport 12m, 5 Good
Should have onsighted this, but there was an insidious pump following the first few moves. Very awkward start.

 
Sat 21st Jun 2014 - The Hide Away
The Prow Wall
22 Ergonomics Sport 12m, 5 Very Good
I really need to see somebody about this. Pulled out slack to clip the anchors for the onsight, but decided to take a whipper instead.

Thompson's Point The Pocketed Wall
22 Murdoch the Horse Fucker Sport 12m, 5 Classic

22 Renovators Dream Sport 20m, 8 Mega Classic
21 Up the Alley Sport 20m Very Good
Fell trying to mimic beta at the second bolt...sigh, it's all intuitive

 
Mon 9th Jun 2014 - The Cathedral
Main Crag
24 Expectorant - with L. Gliganic Sport 15m, 4 Very Good
There are harder 21's at the crag...imogen (cough). Beautiful sequence to circumvent the dyno. Fun climbing, but not sustained.

 
23 Hercules Extension (Hercules Direct Finish) - with L. Gliganic Sport 22m Mega Classic
Felt so good to send despite the rain, best climb I have done thus far. Running it out is a great motivational tool.

 
Sat 31st May 2014 - The Woolwash

24 Communal Spoon Sport 15m Classic

23 Sixteen and Pregnant Sport 15m, 9 Very Good
Surprisingly good, wish it was 10 m longer

Track-side Wall
21 Housos Sport 10m, 6 Good
Good, but some dodgy stone exfoliation happening in that roof.

 
Tue 6th May 2014 - Lucas Heights
22 Interior Castle - with L. Gliganic Sport 20m, 8 Average
If you like bird shit, you'll love this climb.

23 Check out my Junk Sport 8m, 5 Very Good
First shot of the day. How can such a short route be so draining?

 
Thu 6th Feb 2014 - The Woolwash
The Junkyard Cave
23 Fifty Shades of Mt Druitt. - with L. Gliganic Sport 25m Classic
2nd shot. Pumped out hanging the draws first go, next attempt wanted more at the anchors.

 
Wed 29th Jan 2014 - The Woolwash
The Junkyard Cave
23 Tracksuit Time Warp - with L. Gliganic Sport 12m Good
Linking through the mantle took a few tries, which was a consequence of an uncertain clipping position and stuffing up the pocket dyno. It's a very pumpy little number...clipped into one anchor, and the tank was empty. 36 degrees in Campbelltown:(

 
Sun 5th Jan 2014 - The Woolwash
The Junkyard Cave
21 Scrambletown - with L.G. Sport 10m, 4 Good
Very fun boulder route, but difficult to onsight. The hardest part is figuring out where to clip the 3rd bolt from.

 
Sat 7th Dec 2013 - The Cathedral
Main Crag
21 23 Imogen - with L. Gliganic Sport 15m, 7 Very Good
A little overrated, but good between bolts 3-5. While belaying my buddy, a brick size footer popped off the extension, and came within 50cm of my face. Close one.

 
Sat 2nd Nov 2013 - The Woolwash
The Junkyard Cave
23 Early Bird - with L. Gliganic Sport 15m, 6 Average
Awesome crux move right off the bat, and a great crimpy finish. In between those sections is pumpy rubbish. Still worth doing if you're already on Negative Funk.

 
Thu 24th Oct 2013 - Bluebell
22 97% McDougall Free - with L. Gliganic Sport 12m, 4 Very Good
Reachy and underrated, an initial big throw adjacent to the corner is not the greatest move, but still a very good route overall.

 

Showing 1 - 100 out of 115 ascents.
