	19	★★★ Electric Blue — 2 attempts - with Donna	Sport 35m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Michael Thorley	Sun 5th Feb 2023
Tried it on lead and was stumped at the traverse, send it on second to clean, turns out i was just spooked.

cool slabbing
	19	★★★ Electric Blue - with John Drake	Sport 35m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	John Drake	Sun 22nd May 2016
So good- this is my favorite route of this area. (remember- BD1 and 3 protect one of the higher breaks and eliminates one of the carrots).
	19	★★★ Electric Blue	Sport 35m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	John Drake	Sun 10th Jul 2016
Still one of my favourite climbs around. Great stuff. I hope that I'm not the one who eventually pulls that flake off the wall.
	19	★★★ Electric Blue	Sport 35m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★★ Mega Classic	Michael 'Monty' Burns	Fri 30th Mar 2018
So good. Run out start, plenty of flakes, nice traverse. Everything you'd want!
	19	★★★ Electric Blue	Sport 35m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★★ Mega Classic	Aurora Pandora	Mon 3rd Oct 2022

Good to the last drop. Climbs like a dream.
	19	★★★ Electric Blue	Sport 35m, 7	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Emma Carroll	Sun 23rd Sep 2007
Required alot of thinking and scary bolting in places. Fun...but hard for 19.
	19	★★★ Electric Blue	Sport 35m, 7	Blue Mountains	★ Good	David McQueen	Wed 11th Jan 2006
I don't rate it that highly.

My version was called Electric Pressure. Step right in middle & follow the carrots, noice.
	19	★★★ Electric Blue	Sport 35m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★★ Mega Classic	Keith Hannan	Mon 24th Apr 2006
Fantastic Climb - Would have to be in the top ten best I've done in 12 years of climbing

Done this before, pretty certain it was OS
	19	★★★ Electric Blue	Sport 35m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Paul Frothy Thomson	Sat 10th Mar 2012
Awesome climbing. Definately take some wires for the start. Hard for the grade, with many tough sequences involving very different styles of climbing. DEFINATELY worth a lap.
	19	★★★ Electric Blue - with Andrew	Sport 35m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Matt Short	Thu 25th Apr 2013
An interesting climb up some easy trad to start and then it got interesting and a little scary on the carrots.
	19	★★★ Electric Blue	Sport 35m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★★ Mega Classic	James	Thu 8th Aug 2013
Fantastic thin wall climbing with a couple of big moves and an exciting finish. Take a set of nuts for the start.
	19	★★★ Electric Blue	Sport 35m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	John Drake	Mon 16th Sep 2013
a few medium wires and a cam near the bottom. The rest is all carrots.
	19	★★★ Electric Blue	Sport 35m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★★ Mega Classic	matt schnabl	Tue 8th Oct 2013
awesome climb sustained for whole length, definitely compares with Tannin as best 19 i've done

Slab by madness
	19	★★★ Electric Blue	Sport 35m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Jason McCarthy	Sat 14th Mar 2015
Really enjoyed this route. Heaps of climbing styles and great moves.
	19	★★★ Electric Blue	Sport 35m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Rene Provis	Sun 27th Sep 2015
Stellar line, but has a couple of bolts next to excellent wire placements? Could be more of a "mixed" mixed route.
	19	★★★ Electric Blue - with Boyd Robinson	Sport 35m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Ian.Grabowski	Thu 24th Sep 2015
A really enjoyable, thought provoking, wandering line. Didn't use gear for the start which livened things up! Bold run out.
	19	★★★ Electric Blue - with Matt Minus	Sport 35m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★★ Mega Classic	Matthew Perrett	Sat 3rd Oct 2015
Excellent! Loved every move.
	19	★★★ Electric Blue - with three stars?	Sport 35m, 7	Blue Mountains	★ Good	James vilimaa	Sat 21st Nov 2015
Warming up
	19	★★★ Electric Blue	Sport 35m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	z_swander	Sat 7th May 2016
Probably the best 19 I have ever done. The holds up top are unreal, and the face section has good sequences.
	19	★★★ Electric Blue	Sport 35m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Alastair McDowell	Fri 25th Nov 2016
A quality mixed route on carrots with two cams down low (#0.3 and #1). Nice holds and a fun out and back traverse at mid-height
	19	★★★ Electric Blue	Sport 35m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Hayes	Sat 4th Feb 2017
Went left instead of right and hit the slab of the 22, had to down climb 3 bolts and head up right but still got the onsight Awesome climb
	19	★★★ Electric Blue - with Tim Osborne	Sport 35m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★★ Mega Classic	Roman	Sat 12th Aug 2017
deserves every star it has. probably my favourite 19 so far. Highly advise using pro at bottom on route to first carrot.
	19	★★★ Electric Blue - with Harry Kadi	Sport 35m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Will Vidler	Sat 14th Oct 2017
Like Jack High but traddier and better! Placed two nuts at the start because it was super wet and slippery.
	19	★★★ Electric Blue	Sport 35m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	I Skip Crux Holds	Mon 2nd Apr 2018
great sustained slab
	19	★★★ Electric Blue - with Mati	Sport 35m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	chou chou halperin	Sun 8th Apr 2018
Funky stabbing at the crux.
	19	★★★ Electric Blue	Sport 35m, 7	Blue Mountains		Meef	Tue 23rd Apr 2019
Did it on trad gear only, yiew!
	19	★★★ Electric Blue - with Tim Dove	Sport 35m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Bruno Alves Buzatto	Sat 17th Aug 2019
Really good!! Don't love having to traverse a bit at the top, but such a nice mixed route. Oh, yeah, by the way, you should definitely take some gear up in my opinion, this is more of a mixed route... Maybe I'm just not solid!
	19	★★★ Electric Blue	Sport 35m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Nikhilesh Sharma	Fri 27th Sep 2019
Contender for the best 19 I have ever got on. Technical mesh of slab and flake climbing requiring a bit of doodling to the left and right. Will probably still call it a 'mixed' route unless people are willing to finger lock with commitment 2m off the ground without pro. Two medium/large wires is all that the route requires as sacrifice for the holy ground above.
	19	★★★ Electric Blue - with Matthew Burt	Sport 35m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★★ Mega Classic	Kurt Doherty	Thu 10th Oct 2019
Simply sensational. I enjoyed every second of this onsight; it's certainly become one of my favourite easy routes in the mountains. Movement was interesting, with the route following a nice wandering line of features up the wall. The final few meters round the small bulge and up to the ledge felt fantastic. Carrots are nicely spaced, helping to create a good sense of exposure while climbing, but it didn't ever feel dangerous to me (the first carrot is about 10m up, with seven in total, so the spacing is around 3.5m). The carrots themselves are a mix of broad-heads and "normal" ones; of the seven carrots, my bolt plates fit four, so I had to use wires on the other three. I found it very easy for 19, but the finish definitely has the ability to bring heartbreak to would-be ascensionists, so it deserves some respect.
	19	★★★ Electric Blue - with Rebecca Crabb	Sport 35m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★★ Mega Classic	Liam Thurston	Sun 10th Nov 2019
Old school classic!
	19	★★★ Electric Blue - with Liam Thurston	Sport 35m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Rebecca Crabb	Mon 11th Nov 2019
Awesome climb! Lots of cool stuff
	19	★★★ Electric Blue - with Adrian Kladnig, rickau	Sport 35m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Ben Hanley	Fri 31st Jul 2020
Doesn't look like much from the ground, but an amazing climb for the grade. Varied moves and holds the whole way. Forgetting that I shouldn't take wire draws on a carrot-bolted route made for interesting hanging around rearranging my draws.
	19	★★★ Electric Blue - with Dilshan	Sport 35m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Dean	Sun 15th Nov 2020
First climb of the day, I struggled a bit on the thin slab sections, esp. where the route split right. The hollow-sounding flake wasn't awe-inspiring either. Used Walnuts #4 and #6 for the bottom.
	19	★★★ Electric Blue - with Sean Peters	Sport 35m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Luke	Sun 15th Nov 2020
Claiming the onsight, but Sean placed the trad gear at the bottom so not sure it's that pure...
	19	★★★ Electric Blue - with Owen Davies	Sport 35m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Knox Low	Sat 9th Jan 2021
Skipped the trad gear at the bottom. Some of the upper carrots were slightly thicker and the 45 degree bolt plates didn't fit, 90 degree plates did. Make sure you have a few varieties of bolt plates available if possible.
	19	★★★ Electric Blue - with Caitlin Schokker, Matt King, Camile	Sport 35m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Luke Yerbury	Sun 10th Jan 2021
What a journey! The bolting on this really added a lot of value to the route! Thought provoking moves at times.
	19	★★★ Electric Blue - with Amy mahony	Sport 35m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★★ Mega Classic	James Collins	Tue 19th Jan 2021
New favourite climb at the grade. Interesting movement in an old(er) school style. Get on it!
	19	★★★ Electric Blue - with Marty Doolan	Sport 35m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Sammy Zammit	Thu 4th Feb 2021
Great old school climbing. Few tricky moves for the grade!
	19	★★★ Electric Blue	Sport 35m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Ryan Gaskon	Thu 22nd Apr 2021
Engaging
	19	★★★ Electric Blue - with Tom Bes	Sport 35m, 7	Blue Mountains		Jake Delaney	Tue 19th Oct 2021
i think i really like mixed routes, especially when all the gear is at the beginning when i'm as fresh as i'll ever be. does this make me a certifiable bluies climber now? ps this thing is 30m - 60m rope was fine for lower-off but god damn tie a knot ALWAYS
	19	★★★ Electric Blue	Sport 35m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Michael Houghton	Fri 22nd Oct 2021
Nice, thin and tricky in parts
	19	★★★ Electric Blue	Sport 35m, 7	Blue Mountains		Rory Hentshel	Sat 20th Nov 2021
nice hex placement low down
	19	★★★ Electric Blue	Sport 35m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Tom P	Tue 19th Apr 2022
Fun sustained slabbing. Had to get a little creative only having 5 bolt plates.
	19	★★★ Electric Blue - with Aurora Pandora	Sport 35m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Peter Melouney	Sat 12th Nov 2022
Really nice climb
	19	★★★ Electric Blue	Sport 35m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★★ Mega Classic	Aidan Cox	Mon 14th Nov 2022
The best sport route of the grade I've ever done. Stunning wandery climbing with not so obvious sequences. Love that this is on carrots. Feels like a trad climb
	19	★★★ Electric Blue - with Niki B, Glenn Southern, margot	Sport 35m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Patrick Chambers	Wed 19th Apr 2023
Very fun climbing!

Not sure about 3 stars - some cool sequences here and there but carrots…
	19	★★★ Electric Blue	Sport 35m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Zorba Parer	Sat 10th Jan 2009
Excellent varied long route, with several spicey moves well above the gear! V'Nice for a rest day!

so warn out by the end
	19	★★★ Electric Blue	Sport 35m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★★ Mega Classic	Ben Jenga	Sat 25th Apr 2015
Wooo, great to get back and really enjoy this classic that I remember finding so hard and committing many years ago. All class.
	19	★★★ Electric Blue	Sport 35m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★★ Mega Classic	Blue Mountains Orangutan	Sat 30th Jan 2016
Really awesome, best 19 I've done.
	19	★★★ Electric Blue - with Will Vidler	Sport 35m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Harry Kadi	Sat 14th Oct 2017
looks relatively uninspiring from the ground. However, this route was my favourite of the day! some tricky slab moves between relatively spaced bolts. Felt very old school!
	19	★★★ Electric Blue - with James Harrington	Sport 35m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Damien Boorman	Tue 6th Feb 2018
An excellent expedition with some very technical committing moves near the top. Remember to bring bolt plates! Or you might be looking at a 15m+ whipper coming out of the crux like James did!
	19	★★★ Electric Blue - with will	Sport 35m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Tom Atkinson	Sun 30th Aug 2020
First thoughts were how does this get 3 stars it looks rubbish.. I was so wrong. Such incredible climbing and flow
	19	★★★ Electric Blue	Sport 35m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Matt King	Sun 10th Jan 2021
Doesn't look very inspiring but golly it's fun. Couple nuts used to protect the runout to the first carrot.
	19	★★★ Electric Blue - with Nathan Kenny	Sport 35m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Alec Landstra	Mon 21st Mar 2022
very nice. That flake was a little scary though

Gecko probe
	19	★★★ Electric Blue - with Sami	Sport 35m, 7	Blue Mountains		Will Gregson	Fri 16th Sep 2022
Nice climb, but probably not the ideal warm up for TWoaF
	19	★★★ Electric Blue	Sport 35m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	steve	2002
great face climbing
	19	★★★ Electric Blue	Sport 35m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★★ Mega Classic	Stuart Ecob	Sat 31st Mar 2007
awesome. Thought provoking.
	19	★★★ Electric Blue	Sport 35m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★★ Mega Classic	Jacqui Hume	Wed 2nd Jan 2008
A must do, a bit committing at the top but it is good go for it.
	19	★★★ Electric Blue	Sport 35m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Niall Doherty	Sat 2nd Dec 2006
Great consistent climbing. Wanders, got lost on first attempt and took the hard direct line.
