18 18 R ★★ XI Trad 30m Arapiles ★★ Very Good Mon 17th Aug 2020
its possible to lower-off anchor at top of buttress on the R

  
24 ★★ Strolling Right Hand Variant - with Jed Parkes Trad 25m Arapiles ★★ Very Good Wed 26th Aug 2020
Better climbing than the original IMO, and not much harder. Crux being the bulge with easier climbing either above and below. I was surprised how much good gear was on it. Its not much more run out than the original, with a bomber yellow totem at your feet pulling the bulge and a great blue totem protecting the easy wall section above.

27 ~28 ★★ 2 Fast 2 Furious — 3 attempts Sport 15m, 8 Bare Rock ★★ Very Good Sun 27th Aug 2023
So good!! Harder moves than atomic/no space but is over a little sooner. I think the original 28 is probably more accurate

  
26 ★★★ Super Weak Sport 20m, 8 Blue Mountains ★★★ Classic Sat 6th Jan 2024
Some of the bolts on upper section starting to look like they could be replaced soon.

  
20 21 ★★ Sandpit Sport 20m, 7 Briggs Bluff Area ★ Good Fri 31st Jul 2020

great piece of technical trickery. got it 3rd try

 
23 ★ John and Betty Sport 23m, 5 Arapiles ★ Good Tue 28th Jul 2020
desperate slab, worthwhile.

  
23 ★★★ Certified Wise Sport 40m Cape Raoul ★★★ Mega Classic Mon 14th Jan 2013
Much better than Pole Dancer IMO! FA with Garry and Alex

  
21 ★★ Pole Axed Sport 40m Cape Raoul ★★ Very Good Mon 14th Jan 2013
Better done via Disaster Master first pitch

  
26 ★★ Disaster Master (Diaster Master) Sport 45m Cape Raoul ★★ Very Good Mon 14th Jan 2013
Nails boulder! who's up for a repeat?!

  
28 ★★★ Atomic Vampire — 3 attempts Sport 20m Bare Rock ★★★ Mega Classic Sun 13th Aug 2023
Probably my favourite route at the boneyard?! 3rd go, having done it years ago. I upgraded it here to 28 in line with consensus of boneyard regulars and other guides.

  
23 ★★★ Smegadeath - with misha mccartney Sport 220m Blue Mountains ★★ Very Good Mon 8th Jan 2024
Cool route! Reachy in places. I’d think 23 for the first pitch is more in line with the feel for the rest of the route? Was a little damp in a few places after all the recent rain but ok. Really appreciate the recent rebolt! On P1 a 60m rope makes it from base of wall to belay at P2 to save moving the belay, comfier spot to belay also. Used 18 quickdraws(3 were long).

  
Aid
23 HVD A1 The Second Pillar of Hercules Aid Cape Raoul Average Mon 14th Jan 2013
