Mount Victoria Area Bardens Lookout Little Triggers Wall | ||||||
20 | ★★ Changes | 20m | ★ Good | |||
Pull kinda hard on little holds. Not as good as Low. Maybe an alzheimer's, not really sure.
|
||||||
22 | ★★ Low | 20m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Really cool rock, really fun moves. Maybe an alzheimer's, but I don't remember.

Blackheath Area Shipley Upper Grand Junction Wall | ||||||
23 | ★★★ Weak as I am | 22m, 13 | ★★★ Classic | |||
Oh my, crazy anxiety, maybe because the kids were almost losing it at the end of the day. But, climbed it much better than last time, and none of it felt too hard.

Blackheath Area Shipley Upper Grand Junction Wall | ||||||
23 | ★★★ Weak as I am - with Anthony Cuskelly | 22m, 13 | ★★★ Classic | |||
Onsight attempt, climbed soooo badly for the first few bolts, then went the wrong way up high and climbed myself into a corner. Got out, but too pumped to think.
|

Mount Victoria Area Ikara, Victorialand, Odin Head, Thor Head Wade's World | ||||||
20 | ★★★ Sleepwalking - with Astrid | 33m, 9 | ★★★ Classic | |||
Brilliant climbing in a spectacular location. The orange upper section of the wall is superb. Rather pumpy also.
Rescuing some gear that was left behind after the incident with the tree. |
||||||
Sun 29th Jan 2023 - Blue Mountains | ||||||
Blackheath Area Centennial Glen Hip Shake Jerk Area | ||||||
23 | Back Hand Tosser | 12m | ★ Good | |||
Clipped the first bolt from the tree, then followed the arete while reaching across to clip the bolts. Was actually quite fun, and looked stupid contrived and ugly to not use the arete.
|

24 Easy | ★★ A Most Profligate Sinner — 3 attempts | 18m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Cool climb! Specific hand beta got me through the crux since I'm weak. And my beta wouldn't work if you're shorter.

Couldn't do the start, so hard, but fun to try and the rest was really fun.
|
||||||
25 | ★★ Bop Till You Drop - with Anthony Cuskelly | 22m | ★★★ Classic | |||

Thanks for putting the draws on Dan, I don't is have gotten the onsight today.
|
||||||
21 ~20 | ★★ Influenza — 2 attempts | 28m, 12 | ★★★ Classic | |||
Sweet sweet bridging. Felt easier than Princess... If you asked me I'd swap the grades. But then, I love corners.
|
||||||
19 Hard | ★★ Princess | 25m, 12 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Plenty of fun, stiff for a warm-up for me at the moment.

Sun 19th Jun 2022 - Orroral area | ||||||
Booroomba Rocks South Buttress Integral face | ||||||
20 | ★★★ Integral Crack - with Kirsty | 48m | ★★★ Mega Classic | |||
oooof. Such a good climb, that just keeps going and going and going. I could really feel my lack of endurance, and got a little desperate in a couple of spots, but managed to hang in there and keep going.
Such good placements (5 cams and 10 wires), such good rock, such good movements. Was made rather more epic by bringing the kids in. And there was still some small patches of snow on the track up to the top. Glorious sunny weather. |
||||||
Sat 12th Feb 2022 - Gibraltar and Corin Road | ||||||
Snake Rock The Buttresss | ||||||
22 | ★★ Red Belly | 12m, 2 | ||||
So much fun, until it gets thin up top and I forgot how to use my feet, or small holds, or just climb in general.
|
||||||
25 | ★★ Reptilian | 13m, 5 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Really fun, REALLY thin.
|
||||||
25 | ★★ Reptilian | 13m, 5 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Working on top rope. I think to the left is better, the feet are better, but the hands are thinner. Still need a sequence that works.
|
||||||

Tianjara Falls Huskinson Homo (Ricky) and the (Graeme) Hill Top hoods gully | ||||||
22 | ★★★ Dodecahedron | 20m, 7 | ★★★ Classic | |||
Bit of a hard warm up after so many months of not climbing. Allllmost got the onsight, but fell off the last move, pumped as a goose. Looking forward to next time.
|
||||||
22 | ★★ Dave Fern | 25m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Much easier than Dodecahedron, but very worthwhile too. Pleasant climbing and a lovely ramble w/ view to the top.
|
||||||
23 | ★★ Flesh Light Fantasy | 26m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Oooof, where has all my endurance gone!? Third climb, and just had nothing, but managed to slog/fall my way to the top. Nice and long with a funky roof near the top.
|
||||||

Tianjara Falls Indian Head (north) Impressionist Wall | ||||||
18 | ★★ Working Woes of a Worried Wombat | 28m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Straightforward climbing up the black rock, then brilliant up the orange rock at the top. Maybe hard for 18, or maybe it was just the mega humidity today.
|
||||||
Sun 30th Jan 2022 - New Nowra - Braidwood Road | ||||||
Tianjara Falls Indian Head (north) Tonage Zone Sector | ||||||
20 | ★ Toujour Amour | 21m, 10 | ★ Good | |||
Cool climb, but very sandy and slimy today. Fell off once trying to traverse left, well worth doing again.
|
||||||
Sat 19th Jun 2021 - Mt Coree area | ||||||
Lost Vegas Main walls | ||||||
21 | Shadow Trick - with Joni | 18m | Average | |||
A bit wet. Cool moves through bulge, then ugly chose to the chains.

17 | ★ Lady Long Legs - with Joni | 12m | ||||
Cold! So cold!
|
||||||
23 | ★ Wedlock - with Joni | 25m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Tricky, engaging, painful finger locks, the rock on the face is much better quality than it looks.
|
||||||
23 | ★ Wedlock - with Joni | 25m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Poor foot positioning up high sent me flying. But felt pretty solid and secure until that point!
|
||||||
Sat 12th Jun 2021 - Shelly Beach Headland | ||||||
V3 | ★ Spearing | 4m | ||||
Another nice climb on a sweet looking boulder.
|
||||||
V4 | ★★ The Line | 4m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Perfect name, it had to be climbed. Psyched to tick it, had just about given up, but got it at the last shot.
|
||||||
V2 | ★★ Chilly flakes | 5m | ||||
Tricky top out, huge jugs, nice moves.

|

22 | ★★★ Seamstress | 22m, 10 | ★★★ Mega Classic | |||
Someone amputated my hands and replaced them with dead fish. End of the day exhausted, fell off one move from the anchor after a long fight.
|
||||||
25 | ★★ The Dreaming Void | 29m, 12 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Sooo cool, onsight to the ledge, a few rests above.
|
||||||
25 | ★★ The Dreaming Void | 29m, 12 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Tried an experiment at the crux, it didn't work. Was the only rest, so very doable for next time.

Tue 25th May 2021 - Blue Mountains | ||||||
Blackheath Area Big Top | ||||||
23 | ★★ Vertical Smile | 30m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Felt more than a grade harder than 3 Buttocks. Really nice sequence small holds, but got pumped stupid.
|
||||||
22 | ★★ I've Got 3 Buttocks | 30m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Faffed around getting the third bolt on, but should have just been brave and climbed past, it's not that hard, and muuuuch nicer. Decently spaced and pumpy up higher. Quite cool and was proud to get the onsight, had to work for it.
|

Thu 8th Apr 2021 - Blue Mountains | ||||||
Blackheath Area Porters Pass Self Portrait Wall | ||||||
23 | ★ Chook Lotto - with Anthony Cuskelly | 15m, 6 | ★★ Very Good | |||
No worries at the start, went too high before traversing, but was struggling badly by that point anyway.
|
||||||
23 | ★ Chook Lotto - with Anthony Cuskelly | 15m, 6 | ★★ Very Good | |||
With better beta it felt really fun and relatively easy.
|
||||||
Thu 8th Apr 2021 - Blue Mountains | ||||||
Blackheath Area Centennial Glen Main Wall | ||||||
25 | ★★ Padington | 12m | ★★ Very Good | |||
A fall and a few takes. The crimpy section isn't as hard as I expected, but will of course be harder on the link.
|
||||||
25 | ★★ Padington | 12m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Fell at the second bolt, seemed to work better matching on the poor crimps and keeping feet below instead of to the side.
|
||||||
Thu 8th Apr 2021 - Blue Mountains | ||||||
Mount Victoria Area Corroboree Walls Fashion Area | ||||||
21 | ★★ Queen Bitch - with Anthony Cuskelly | 15m | ★★ Very Good | |||

More fun thinness. Run out to the second. Not too hard.
|
||||||
23 | ★★ A Streaker Named Desire - with Kirsty | 25m, 13 | ★★★ Classic | |||
Got pumped, messed up my feet and fell off. It was a silly mistake, but I probably wouldn't have gotten to the anchors anyway.
|
||||||
23 | ★★ A Streaker Named Desire - with Kirsty | 25m, 13 | ★★★ Classic | |||
Longer than a boulder problem! Really good. Long, pumpy face climbing!
