21 | ★★ Medieval Remedies | 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 | 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) | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 20m, 10 | Blue Mountains | Average | Mon 6th Oct 2014 | |||
That move is at the absolute limit of my wingspan.
|
||||||||
24 | ★★ Blowtorch - with Lewyy | 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 | 15m, 9 | The Woolwash | ★★ Very Good | Sat 31st May 2014 | |||
Surprisingly good, wish it was 10 m longer
|
||||||||
20 | ★★ Diddy Kong Direct Start | 24m, 9 | Nowra | ★★ Very Good | Fri 20th Jun 2014 | |||
Hanging the draws
|
||||||||
25 | ★★ Taxi Driver | 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 | 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 | 20m, 8 | Lucas Heights | Average | Tue 6th May 2014 | |||
If you like bird shit, you'll love this climb.
|
||||||||
22 | ★★★ Renovators Dream | 20m, 8 | Nowra | ★★★ Mega Classic | Sat 14th Jun 2014 | |||
22 | ★★ Sister Rosa | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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. | 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 | 17m, 7 | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Mon 8th Sep 2014 | |||
Warm up?
|
||||||||
23 | ★ Off the Lip | 15m, 7 | Blue Mountains | ★ Good | Sun 8th Mar 2015 | |||
Done hanging the draws
|
||||||||
20 | ★★ Throbbing Pole Of Love | 15m, 7 | Nowra | ★★ Very Good | Sat 27th Jun 2015 | |||
By the skin of my teeth. Love the sandbag.
|
||||||||
24 25 | ★★★ Madge McDonald | 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 | 15m, 7 | Red River Gorge | ★★ Very Good | Wed 9th Nov 2016 | |||
Foot slip. Doh!
|
||||||||
20 | ★ Bundy's been bolting - with L. Gliganic | 15m, 6 | The Cathedral | ★ Good | Sun 8th Sep 2013 | |||
No extension
|
||||||||
22 | ★ Lady Ger-Ger - with L. Gliganic, D. MItchell | 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, | 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 | 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 | 10m, 6 | The Woolwash | ★ Good | Tue 27th May 2014 | |||
Good, but some dodgy stone exfoliation happening in that roof.
|
||||||||
22 | ★★ Jack Spaniel | 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 | 15m, 6 | Alfords Point | ★ Good | Fri 11th Jul 2014 | |||
Tough nut. Desperate move at second bolt.
|
||||||||
24 | ★★★ Lean Beef | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 15m, 6 | Nowra | ★ Good | Sat 27th Jun 2015 | |||
Meh
|
||||||||
23 | ★★ Ces poches sont Naturels | 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 | 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 | 12m, 5 | Bluebell | ★★ Very Good | Sun 8th Sep 2013 | |||
23 | ★★ Bitch'n - with L. Gliganic | 12m, 5 | Bluebell | ★★ Very Good | Wed 16th Oct 2013 | |||
Climbs better above the crux than Ruthless Babes.
|
||||||||
23 | ★ Check out my Junk | 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 | 12m, 5 | Nowra | ★★★ Classic | Fri 20th Jun 2014 | |||
22 | ★★ Ergonomics | 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 | 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 | 15m, 5 | Nowra | ★★ Very Good | Sat 2nd Aug 2014 | |||
Very disappointed to have not fought for the good slopers.
|
||||||||
19 | ★★ Tour Of Duty | 14m, 5 | Nowra | ★★★ Classic | Sat 13th Sep 2014 | |||
Hard to onsight, with some sneaky holds
|
||||||||
23 | ★★ Nev Herrod | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 10m, 4 | Mount Alexandra | ★★★ Classic | Sun 8th Sep 2013 | |||
Pumpy, thank goodness for the rest jug after the crux.
|
||||||||
20 | ★ Fatboy - with L. Gliganic | 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 | 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 | 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. | 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 | 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 | 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 | 20m, 4 | Evans Crown | ★ Good | Sat 7th Mar 2015 | |||
Johnny Dawes start for the win!
|
||||||||
19 | ★★ Spare the Hammer | 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 | 15m, 4 | Evans Crown | ★★ Very Good | Sat 7th Mar 2015 | |||
Best climb of the day. Sequencey start.
|
||||||||
20 | ★ Pyromaniac - with L. Gliganic | 9m, 3 | Bangor West | ★ Good | Sun 8th Sep 2013 | |||
22 | ★ Nowra-cised | 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 | 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 | 10m, 2 | Bangor West | Average | Fri 1st Feb 2013 | |||
Not sure on the date, but remember it being sharp!
|
||||||||
21 | ★★ Tits and Bits | 10m, 2 | Bangor West | ★ Good | Fri 1st Feb 2013 | |||
Tough start
|
||||||||
23 | ★ Hairy Horrace - with L. Gliganic | 12m | Blue Mountains | ★ Good | Sun 8th Sep 2013 | |||
22 | ★★ Hercules - with L. Gliganic | 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 | 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 | 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 | 10m | Nowra | ★ Good | Sat 5th Apr 2014 | |||
2nd shot
|
||||||||
24 | ★★ Communal Spoon | 15m | The Woolwash | ★★★ Classic | Sat 31st May 2014 | |||
Finally vanquished
|
||||||||
23 | ★★★ Hercules Extension (Hercules Direct Finish) - with L. Gliganic | 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 | 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 | 10m | Nowra | ★★ Very Good | Sat 14th Jun 2014 | |||
Jugs where you need them.
|
||||||||
20 21 | ★★ Je Baise Ma Frangine (Je Baise Ma Fraigne) | 12m | Nowra | ★★ Very Good | Sat 14th Jun 2014 | |||
Switches gears at the break.
|
||||||||
22 | ★★ Electro Rooter | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 15m | Nowra | Average | Sat 13th Sep 2014 | |||
Very contrived, and there are better climbs on the wall.
|
||||||||
20 | ★ Necropolis Kidney | 15m | Alfords Point | ★ Good | Mon 29th Sep 2014 | |||
Hardest route all day, death by sun and sand.
|
||||||||
23 | ★ Acceptably Cosmic | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 10m | Nowra | ★★ Very Good | Sat 4th Apr 2015 | |||
Did this back in 12/14.
|
||||||||
22 | ★ Hunted Child - with Lewyy | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 22m | Nowra | ★★ Very Good | Sat 13th Jun 2015 | |||
Brilliant sustained climbing
