21 | ★★ Vulgar Direct - with Jack, Amanda | 32m, 13 | ★★★ Mega Classic | ||||
Simply one of the best 21s I have done in Sydney. This route had all kinds of different climbing and a really decent height to it.
The first moves up the short face took me a while to commit to as it was a really long reach for me to the good hold. The airy traverse and corner pedastal thing was great. Then there is the move off the pedastal which was hard for the grade and kept you honest. And just as you think it is finished someone decide to put in a couple more bolts meaning you have to escape from the cave. If you go to Jol's Bridge do this climb! |
|||||||
20 | ★★ Woodface - with Jack, Amanda | 40m | ★★★ Classic | ||||
I did the original route this time as I had done the direct before. There is quite a hard move going up just after you move left onto the original route.
The top pitch is still awesome and hard for what it is. |
|||||||
20 | ★ Sniffing Dogs - with Jack, Amanda | 15m | ★★ Very Good | ||||
A really good route with some interesting move in the thin corner.
|
|||||||
22 | ★★ Bad Luck Silverback Variant | 14m, 2 | ★★ Very Good | ||||
My first attempt at top rope soloing. I thought it would be a good one because of the nicly placed bolts at the top but I didn't think that this would actually put me on the variant finish at 22.
Managed to drag myself up and the system that I used seemed to work pretty well and safely although I can think of a few improvements to the system which I will try later. In hindsight I should probably have don Chocolate Coated Parents first before jumping on this. |
|||||||
16 | ★ Chocolate Coated Parents | 12m | ★★ Very Good | ||||
A couple of laps to get used to the top rope solo set up. Worked quite well.

23 | ★★ Sand Man - with Roger Austin | 25m | ★★★ Classic | ||||
Lovely combination of steep stuff pulling through roofs on good holds followed by an awkward finishing crack. Took a rest again on the lower section then fought and grunted my way up the upper crack. After I lowered down, Roger (again) showed me how it should be climbed.
|
|||||||
24 | ★ Rivers Edge - with Roger Austin | 12m, 6 | ★★ Very Good | ||||
Long reach from a crimp to a chickenhead / ironstone crimp. Took a rest after falling on the crux then didn't have the energy for a redpoint attempt.
|

21 | ★★ Stairway to Heaven - with Roger Austin | 12m, 4 | ★★ Very Good | ||||
Pleasant sustained climbing and well placed bolts makes this a good intro to this wall.
|
|||||||
23 | ★★ Sand Man - with Donald Gibson | 25m | ★★ Very Good | ||||
Very good if you like this sort of thing. Which I do. Having Donald's clips in place made it flow nicely.
|
|||||||
24 | ★ Rivers Edge - with Donald Gibson | 12m, 6 | ★ Good | ||||
Sharp. Reachy. Blew the onsight by attempting to campus the chicken-head crimp. Much easier when I used my feet.
|

25 | ★★ Golden Shower - with Donald Gibson | 12m, 5 | ★★ Very Good | ||||
Fun V4 sequence past a large manufactured hold to a grade 21 warm-down. Good but certainly not great.

16 | King Kong - with John Hollott | 15m | ★ Good | ||||
Had to bail halfway due to time constraints. Fun corner crack with my No.5 being used. I'm certain i could've used my No.6 if I had it with me. Can't wait to return and finish this one.
|
|||||||
17 | ★ Natie Head - with John Hollott | 8m | ★★ Very Good | ||||
Placed a 'jesus' cam in the head high ledge as the first carrot would've been a grounder otherwise. Attached the crux on the wrong side then took the obvious route and glided through it. No more carrots after the crux with a slow and steady top out around the tree and to the anchors. Had to tie in direct and bring the rope around the tree to avoid ring barking the tree in the lower. Excellent climb and worthy of its star.

22 | ★★ B Jam - with Jara | 40m, 13 | ★★ Very Good | ||||
Excellent climbing, total length about 33-35m, not 40. 70m rope reaches the ground on rap. MISSING A BOLT on the rebolting so a runout at half height. Also REQUIRES 2 SMALL WIRES before main halfway roof to avoid a dangerous runout (good placements). That said, fantastic climbing.

Not in a great frame of mind for this one, fell a few times at the crux before running out of time. My only suggestion is that the left side of the left hand crimp on the crux is better than the right, even though it doesn't look it.
