Thought-provoking climbing in a stunning location. Very cool.

Some nice moves in amongst it.
	18	★ Burning Spear p1 - with Cameron Semple	Trad 20m	Crap
It would be a great climb, if it wasn't full of choss, bird poo, birds, sand and slimy salt-encrusted rock.

	14	★ Roy's Crack - with Pip	Trad 50m	★★ Very Good
Call me old-school but I really enjoyed this climb! Fun bridging and plenty of face options if you don't want to use the crack. Great intro to Booroomba!

In the running for the best 19 I've ever done!
	23	★★★ Spliff Odyssey - with Damien Ayers	Sport 32m	★★ Very Good
Nice and long, with a classic sting in the tail. One fall.
	21	★★ Sugar Rhyme - with Damien Ayers	Sport 32m	★ Good
	19	★ Flutter - with Damien Ayers	Sport 20m	Average
First climb back after 3 months or more. Scary for that reason, but OK otherwise.

Sat 20th Jun 2015 - Frog Buttress
West of the access track
	19	★★★ Thor - with Cameron Semple	Trad 30m	★★★ Classic
Last day at Frog for a while. Great climb to warm up on.
	20	★★★ Odin - with Cameron Semple	Trad 30m	★★★ Classic
Thoroughly enjoyable! Made the move past the magic block harder than it should be I think, but still fun.
	23	★★ The Guns of Navaronne - with Mike	Trad 30m	★★★ Classic
Wow! Stunning climbing and a very cool sequence through the roof.
	18	★★ Elastic RURP - with Cameron Semple	Trad 20m	★ Good
Always fun. In walking boots this time.
Sat 6th Jun 2015 - Girraween
Turtle Rock
	24	★★★ New Paths - with Adam, Cameron Semple	Mixed trad 30m, 7	★★★ Mega Classic
Remembering the moves, but way too pumped early on.
	24	★★★ New Paths - with Adam, Cameron Semple	Mixed trad 30m, 7	★★★ Mega Classic
So close! Made it past the last bolt, but messed up the sequence and couldn't top out. So happy to get this far on the most amazing, sustained climb I know.
	19	★★ Summerbreeze - with Adam, Cameron Semple	Sport 10m, 2	★★ Very Good
Great warmup to get you back in the zone for Girraween climbing.
Sat 9th May 2015 - Frog Buttress
East of the access track
	20	★★ Rack and Ruin - with Cameron Semple	Trad 40m	★★ Very Good
Lots of loose blocks made this a bit scary, but very unique and enjoyable climbing. Definitely tough for a 20!
	23	★★★ Satanic Majesty - with Cameron Semple	Trad 30m	★★ Very Good
Gear placements just before the crux had me stumped... Then took a couple of goes to figure out the crux. Stunning jamming above though, well worth it!
Fri 8th May 2015 - Frog Buttress
West of the access track
	18	★★ Gladiator - with Lauren, Chris	Trad 20m	★★ Very Good
	18	★★★ Iron Mandible - with Lauren, Chris	Trad 24m	★★★ Classic

Sun 3rd May 2015 - Frog Buttress
West of the access track
	24	★★ Down With His Pants - with Adam	Mixed trad 20m, 3	★ Good
Dogged the crap out of this. Felt harder than Impulse, but maybe not as sustained...
	19	★★★ Infinity - with Adam	Trad 40m	★★★ Classic
Never gets old. Stunning jamming.
	21	★★★ Conquistador - with Adam	Trad 45m	★★★ Mega Classic
Glad to get this clean again after screwing up the crux last time.
	20	★★★ Devils Dihedral - with Adam	Trad 45m	★★★ Classic
Sat 25th Apr 2015 - Frog Buttress
West of the access track
	16	★ Integrated Injection Logic - with Cameron Semple	Trad 15m	★ Good
	22	★★★ Old Guard - with Cameron Semple	Trad 40m	★★★ Mega Classic
Wow! Contender for my favourite climb at Frog so far. Felt like the softer end of 22 if you don't mind a bit of laybacking and finger locking. Plenty of rest stances.
	20	★★ Keed Spills - with Cameron Semple	Trad 15m	★★ Very Good
Ran out of big gear for the top of Old Guard, so headed out right following the smaller cracks instead. Great way to finish!
	19	★ Humility - with Cameron Semple	Trad 15m	★ Good
Cool little climb and a good way to get to Plume ledge.
Sat 18th Apr 2015 - Girraween
Shark's Fin
	19	★★ Chimney Face Left Of SIP (19 left of sip) - with Adam	Sport 25m, 3	★★ Very Good
I think this is one of the climbs we did, but 30m seems a bit long... Definitely had a chockstone and chains at the top. Great climbing with amazing views from the top!
Tue 14th Apr 2015 - Kangaroo Point
Right Main Wall
	17	★ Bombadil - with Adam	Sport 18m, 5	★★ Very Good
Great warm up climb, full of ledges and slopers...
	21	★★ Wedding Crashers - with Adam	Sport 18m, 5	★ Good
Cool, but don't remember trying it previously. Stuffed up the mantle move.
	24	★★ Wages Of Fear - with Adam	Sport 18m, 5	★★★ Classic
Can't get enough of this climb! Great finger locking practice.
Sun 12th Apr 2015 - Frog Buttress
East of the access track
	24	★★★ Impulse - with Cameron Semple, Adam	Trad 18m	★★★ Mega Classic
Stunning climb, but no progress made on my last attempt. Just getting too pumped around the crux.
	20	★★ Egotistical Pineapple (Egotistical Pinapple) - with Cameron Semple, Adam	Trad 14m	★★ Very Good
Great climb, but a little scary in places.
	16	★ Sabrasucker - with Cameron Semple, Adam	Trad 25m	★ Good
Really quite a nice little warm up climb.
Sat 14th Mar 2015 - Frog Buttress
East of the access track
	16	★★ Blood, Sweat and Tears - with Cameron Semple	Trad 40m	★ Good
Good warm up for the season.
	20	★★ Corner of Eden - with Cameron Semple	Trad 35m	★★ Very Good
Should have warmed up more... Great climb though, and felt good to climb a piece of history!
Sun 18th Jan 2015 - Frog Buttress
West of the access track
	18	★★ Gladiator	Trad 20m	★★ Very Good
	16	★ Electric Banana	Trad 40m	★ Good
Surprisingly enjoyable! Looks really manky and chossy from the ground, but a lot of it can be avoided by bridging and finding face holds.
	19	★★ Magical Mystery Tour	Trad 34m	★★ Very Good
3 #4 cams, and #5 and #6, plus 2 big bros made the protection reasonable. Great, balancy face climbing and bridging lets you avoid the off width.
Sat 20th Dec 2014 - Mt Tibrogargan
Slider Wall
	23	★★★ Squealer	Sport 21m, 6	★★★ Classic
	25	★★★ Madder	Sport 15m, 5	★★ Very Good
Yay! Finally ticked another 25! Apparently not training works wonders.
	25	★★ Wailer	Sport 18m, 5	★★ Very Good
	25	★★ Wailer	Sport 18m, 5	★★ Very Good
Fri 14th Nov 2014 - Frog Buttress
West of the access track
	20	★★ Footloose and Falling Free - with Cam	Trad 11m	★ Good
Not really sure what this climb was like. The sun was blazing and I was in a rush to get out of there before we were roasted alive.
	18	★ Hell's Angel - with Cam	Trad 40m	Average
Ordinary. Wanted to do the route that "branches off to the right", but the description is way too vague.
	23	★ Baby Staysharp - with Cam	Sport 7m, 2	★★ Very Good
Incredible, sharp crimps. Shame it's not just a little bit longer...
Sun 19th Oct 2014 - Frog Buttress
East of the access track
	14	★ Shit Heap	Trad 10m	★★ Very Good
More jamming for Adam.
	22	★★ Dave Mank's Electric Gorilla Direct Start	Trad 10m	★★ Very Good
Wow. Tough as nails and weirdly slippery feat.
	18	★★★ Resurrection Corner	Trad 25m	★★★ Mega Classic
	24	★★ Plate Tectonics	Mixed trad 18m, 2	★★ Very Good
Great climb. Helps to be tall...
	16	★★ Materialistic Prostitution	Trad 20m	★★ Very Good
Giving Adam a go for his first crack climb.
Sat 11th Oct 2014 - Frog Buttress
West of the access track
	21	★★★ Cock Corner - with Cam	Trad 30m	★ Good
Tough climb, and very airy layback moves above the ledge. Scary but good.
	21	★★ Oppenheimer's Monster - with Cam	Mixed trad 25m, 2	★ Good
Nice technical face climbing for the first half, then scary loose block navigation for the second. Gear was good, as long as the loose blocks hold...
	18	★★★ Iron Mandible - with Cam	Trad 24m	★★★ Classic
Sun 5th Oct 2014 - Mt Tibrogargan
Carborundum Wall
	20	★ Banished For Infidelity - with Cam	Sport 170m	★ Good
Lots of scary loose rock. Worth doing for the nice moves in the crux pitch though.
Sat 4th Oct 2014 - Mt Ngungun
Lower Cliffs Owl Pillar
	18	★ Morning Madness	Sport 10m, 4	★ Good
	19	★★ Dawn Raid	Sport 9m, 3	★★ Very Good
Sat 4th Oct 2014 - Mt Ngungun
Lower Cliffs The Lower Main Cliff
	27	★★ Acid	Sport 25m, 8	★★★ Classic
Managed to dog my way to the top on the second shot today. Hard but awesome. Pretty confused about the top though. Do you go right or left at the 2nd last bolt?
Thu 2nd Oct 2014 - Kangaroo Point
Right Main Wall
	24	★★ Brisbane Bitter	Sport 18m, 5	★★★ Classic
Great climb. Definitely got the moves sorted after 3 clean runs today.
	24	★★ Brisbane Bitter	Sport 18m, 5	★★★ Classic
	24	★★ Brisbane Bitter	Sport 18m, 5	★★★ Classic
Mon 29th Sep 2014 - Mt Tibrogargan
Celestial Wall
	16 23	★ Voyager (Aphelion p1 / Voyager p1)	Sport 95m	★ Good
Pretty decent for a 16.

Really nice climbing.
