21 Medieval Remedies Mixed trad 25m, 4 The Cathedral Good Sat 25th Jun 2016
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.

25 Thunderstruck - with Lewyy Sport 45m, 17 Blue Mountains Very Good Sun 19th Apr 2015
A great line, slightly tainted by some choss through the middle, but the location doesn't get much better. Second shot today.

 
22 Lardy Lady's Lats (The Lardy Lady's Lats) Sport 25m, 13 Blue Mountains Very Good Sat 14th Mar 2015
Great route. Harder slab to start and then an easier (than hot flyer) crux, but very techy (my fail). Second shot.

 
25 Swinging In The Rain - with Lewyy Sport 20m, 13 Blue Mountains Very Good Sat 11th Apr 2015
Went easily on the second shot. Well earned after a face full of semi-dry bird poo in the roof.

 
23 Goats Meat - with Matt Brooks Sport 25m, 12 Blue Mountains Very Good Mon 5th Jan 2015
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.

 
23 Truffle Shuffle - with Heath Black Sport 15m, 12 Blue Mountains Good Sat 21st Feb 2015
Way easier when fresh, hanging the draws today. Enjoyable, but could be even better connecting this start to Rocky Road.

 
23 24 Survival Day Sport 20m, 10 Blue Mountains Average Mon 6th Oct 2014
That move is at the absolute limit of my wingspan.

 
24 Blowtorch - with Lewyy Sport 18m, 10 Blue Mountains Classic Sat 28th Mar 2015
First shot today, second overall, stoked. Bomber rock, and nice bouldering moves between great rests. Thanks for hanging the draws Luigi!

 
23 Sixteen and Pregnant Sport 15m, 9 The Woolwash Very Good Sat 31st May 2014
Surprisingly good, wish it was 10 m longer

 
20 Diddy Kong Direct Start Sport 24m, 9 Nowra Very Good Fri 20th Jun 2014
Hanging the draws

 
25 Taxi Driver Sport 20m, 9 Blue Mountains Good Sun 26th Apr 2015
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.

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

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

 
22 Renovators Dream Sport 20m, 8 Nowra Mega Classic Sat 14th Jun 2014
22 Sister Rosa Sport 18m, 8 Blue Mountains Very Good Tue 6th Jan 2015
Hot tip, don't follow the chalk on the first few moves. Sent straight after a beta spray.

 
22 Nylon Happy - with Lewyy Sport 20m, 8 Blue Mountains Classic Fri 27th Mar 2015
Yeah, those moves were rad. Fell up high by mixing up my sequence. 2nd shot

 
23 Lyptus Sport 23m, 8 Blue Mountains Classic Sun 24th Apr 2016
Totally underestimated this route. It can be very reachy through the crux, and there are a lot of big moves. Sent second shot.

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

 
21 Negative Funk - with L. Gliganic Sport 15m, 7 The Woolwash Good Sat 14th Sep 2013
Pretty good route. I hadn't sport climbed in ages, so once the cobwebs were gone, and I dropped a knee through the top crux, all was sweet. Heaps of variety in the climbing style with kneebars and fist jams to keep you semi fresh.

 
21 23 Imogen - with L. Gliganic Sport 15m, 7 The Cathedral Very Good Sat 7th Dec 2013
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.

 
20 Sidetrack Sport 18m, 7 Nowra Good Sat 5th Jul 2014
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.

 
23 Penriff girls put out. Sport 7 The Woolwash Good Sat 19th Jul 2014
Sequency after the campus. Not hard on second shot, but over very quickly. CG may be a more interesting version.

 
23 Reigning Steel Sport 17m, 7 Blue Mountains Very Good Mon 8th Sep 2014
Warm up?

 
23 Off the Lip Sport 15m, 7 Blue Mountains Good Sun 8th Mar 2015
Done hanging the draws

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

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

 
5.11a Snapper Sport 15m, 7 Red River Gorge Very Good Wed 9th Nov 2016
Foot slip. Doh!

 
20 Bundy's been bolting - with L. Gliganic Sport 15m, 6 The Cathedral Good Sun 8th Sep 2013
No extension

 
22 Lady Ger-Ger - with L. Gliganic, D. MItchell Sport 15m, 6 The Woolwash Very Good Sat 12th Oct 2013
Really great first few moves, and then big reaches above the slab.

 
21 Sin City - with L. Gliganic, Sport 6m, 6 The Woolwash Good Sat 12th Oct 2013
It's punchy, and the key is all in the feet. Would have been easier without an injured finger. Still working on the 23 next door.

 
23 Early Bird - with L. Gliganic Sport 15m, 6 The Woolwash Average Sat 2nd Nov 2013
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.

 
21 Housos Sport 10m, 6 The Woolwash Good Tue 27th May 2014
Good, but some dodgy stone exfoliation happening in that roof.

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

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

 
24 Lean Beef Sport 15m, 6 Bonnet Bay Classic Tue 22nd Jul 2014
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".

 
24 Jaqueline Hyde Sport 15m, 6 Blue Mountains Very Good Sun 1st Mar 2015
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 (?).

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

 
21 Gorilla Gardening Sport 15m, 6 Nowra Very Good Sat 4th Jul 2015
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.

 
21 A Day at the Beach Sport 15m, 6 Nowra Good Sat 27th Jun 2015
Meh

 
23 Ces poches sont Naturels Sport 16m, 6 Nowra Classic Sat 11th Jul 2015
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.

 
21 Welcome to the Body Shop - with L. Gliganic Sport 12m, 5 Bluebell Mega Classic Sun 8th Sep 2013
It's hard not to look awesome while climbing this gem, and the crux is a prereq for many of the link ups.

 
23 Ruthless Babe Sport 12m, 5 Bluebell Very Good Sun 8th Sep 2013
23 Bitch'n - with L. Gliganic Sport 12m, 5 Bluebell Very Good Wed 16th Oct 2013
Climbs better above the crux than Ruthless Babes.

 
23 Check out my Junk Sport 8m, 5 The Woolwash Very Good Sat 15th Feb 2014
First shot of the day. How can such a short route be so draining?

 
22 Murdoch the Horse Fucker Sport 12m, 5 Nowra Classic Fri 20th Jun 2014
22 Ergonomics Sport 12m, 5 The Hide Away Very Good Sat 21st Jun 2014
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.

 
21 Hawk Habitat Sport 12m, 5 The Hide Away Good Sat 28th Jun 2014
Should have onsighted this, but there was an insidious pump following the first few moves. Very awkward start.

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

 
19 Tour Of Duty Sport 14m, 5 Nowra Classic Sat 13th Sep 2014
Hard to onsight, with some sneaky holds

 
23 Nev Herrod Sport 12m, 5 Blue Mountains Very Good Wed 7th Jan 2015
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.

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

 
24 Reactorvate - with Heath Black Sport 13m, 5 Lucas Heights Classic Fri 6th Feb 2015
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.

 
5.11a Injured Reserve Sport 18m, 5 Red River Gorge Good Wed 9th Nov 2016
Grab the wrong hold at the crux,and there's not backing out. Fun.

 
23 Los Hermanos de la Denitente - with L Gliganic Sport 10m, 4 Mount Alexandra Classic Sun 8th Sep 2013
Pumpy, thank goodness for the rest jug after the crux.

 
20 Fatboy - with L. Gliganic Sport 10m, 4 The Wastelands Very Good Fri 18th Oct 2013
Was going to warm up on the adjacent 17, but that needs a power washer. Definitely possible to onsight now that is clean. This pretty much goes for all the climbs along the Rainbow Wall.

 
22 Room With a View - with L. Gliganic Sport 8m, 4 The Wastelands Good Fri 18th Oct 2013
Packs a punch, and solid for the grade. Great dyno move to the top ledge. Needed a good brushing, but even then it would be difficult without an incredible ape index.

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

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

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

 
20 Rock Snob Sport 12m, 4 Blue Mountains Crap Sat 30th Aug 2014
Two crux approaches to this pile of choss: 1)tall people to the left, 2)all others to the right.

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

 
19 Spare the Hammer Sport 15m, 4 Evans Crown Good Sat 7th Mar 2015
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 Evans Crown Very Good Sat 7th Mar 2015
Best climb of the day. Sequencey start.

 
20 Pyromaniac - with L. Gliganic Sport 9m, 3 Bangor West Good Sun 8th Sep 2013
22 Nowra-cised Sport 10m, 3 Nowra Good Sat 2nd Aug 2014
I'm not very creative when trying to solve a crux. Easy on second shot.

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

 
20 Sports Injury Clinic Sport 10m, 2 Bangor West Average Fri 1st Feb 2013
Not sure on the date, but remember it being sharp!

 
21 Tits and Bits Sport 10m, 2 Bangor West Good Fri 1st Feb 2013
Tough start

 
23 Hairy Horrace - with L. Gliganic Sport 12m Blue Mountains Good Sun 8th Sep 2013
22 Hercules - with L. Gliganic Sport 15m The Cathedral Classic Sat 19th Oct 2013
Such a great climb all the way through. I did the route clean, and then unlocked a sequence for the direct finish, but the exposure encouraged a tactical retreat from the final slopers (Runout!). Hang a sling from the extension anchor on the way down from your car. Very happy with this one.

 
23 Tracksuit Time Warp - with L. Gliganic Sport 12m The Woolwash Good Wed 29th Jan 2014
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:(

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

 
22 Meaty Mesmo Sport 10m Nowra Good Sat 5th Apr 2014
2nd shot

 
24 Communal Spoon Sport 15m The Woolwash Classic Sat 31st May 2014
Finally vanquished

 
23 Hercules Extension (Hercules Direct Finish) - with L. Gliganic Sport 22m The Cathedral Mega Classic Mon 9th Jun 2014
Felt so good to send despite the rain, best climb I have done thus far. Running it out is a great motivational tool.

 
21 Up the Alley Sport 20m Nowra Very Good Sat 14th Jun 2014
Fell trying to mimic beta at the second bolt...sigh, it's all intuitive

 
22 Killer Boas Sport 10m Nowra Very Good Sat 14th Jun 2014
Jugs where you need them.

 
20 21 Je Baise Ma Frangine (Je Baise Ma Fraigne) Sport 12m Nowra Very Good Sat 14th Jun 2014
Switches gears at the break.

 
22 Electro Rooter Sport 12m Nowra Very Good Fri 20th Jun 2014
This is dialed in now. Might be my new warm up for this wall.

 
23 Pulling On the Porcelain Sport 12m Nowra Classic Sat 12th Jul 2014
2 kneebars and a sit on the stone pony...thanks for the armor, Ben. Enter sandman next.

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

 
22 A Tufa to Far - with Jake Sport 25m Bungonia Gorge Good Sat 26th Jul 2014
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.

 
19 20 Lame Duck - with Jake Sport 15m Bungonia Gorge Average Sat 26th Jul 2014
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.

 
21 23 V Lix The Cat Sport 15m Nowra Average Sat 13th Sep 2014
Very contrived, and there are better climbs on the wall.

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

 
23 Acceptably Cosmic Sport 10m Blue Mountains Average Wed 7th Jan 2015
One of my oldest dogs. Easy moves, but the pump still almost got me at the anchors. 1st shot

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

 
20 Araldite (Megan 1) - with Jason Lammers Sport 20m Blue Mountains Average Thu 12th Feb 2015
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.

 
22 Rocky Road - with Jason Lammers Sport 15m Blue Mountains Good Thu 12th Feb 2015
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.

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

 
22 Daffy Sport 20m Blue Mountains Very Good Sat 21st Feb 2015
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.

 
24 The Tube Sport 12m Blue Mountains Good Sun 1st Mar 2015
Your choice of hand placement on the first move likely determines success. Wish it was ten meters longer. Jugs the whole way.

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

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

 
23 Crime Is Art - with Lewyy Sport 10m Nowra Very Good Sat 4th Apr 2015
Did this back in 12/14.

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

 
21 Lick The Pig - with Lewyy Sport 10m Nowra Good Sun 5th Apr 2015
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.

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

 
21 Word on a Wing Sport 22m Nowra Very Good Sat 13th Jun 2015
Tough to warm up if you don't know the crux sequence or are under six foot. 2nd shot

 
22 Violent Flemm Sport 22m Nowra Very Good Sat 13th Jun 2015
Brilliant sustained climbing

 

Showing 1 - 100 out of 115 ascents.
