2606 points	25	★★★ Echo Crack - with Pedro, Gwen + James	Trad 190m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Mega Classic	Sun 21st Jan 2018
What a great climb. As there is already a lot said in the last comments and on Paul's blog article (which was helpful, thanks guys!), I'll keep it fairly short here. I found it absolutely brilliant! First pitch is more of an unpleasant scramble, I quite liked the second pitch, which Pedro lead. The crux at the beginning of pitch 3 was well protectable and honestly not hard for a 25. Then again, I had a good beta and idea about the placements as I've seen Gwen seconding up this bit. The rest of pitch 3 consists of a lot of jamming (first #2, then #3) and stepping / bridging leading to a comfy belay on carrots. Were there with four people. Pitch 4 was awesome corner-cracking, easier (good crack width and footers outside) in the beginning and a bit more strenous higher up. You get a few good rests. All #3s again, maybe also a #4 if you like. The traverse on carrots is fine, just begin it at the right point. Cool and tricky mantle higher up, belay on carrots. Hit me up if you have questions!

runout, exciting and demanding!

Brilliant crack! Make sure you'll bring a few cams (handcrack -> #3 comes in handy). Awesome.

gave this beauty another go
1708 points	19	★★★ Telstar - with Justin	Trad 80m	Blue Mountains		Thu 11th Jan 2018
wicked! the chimney is insane. hard to get into it. Short but really good finger crack in p3. Not the best rock quality (a bit sandy in parts), but reasonable. If you're after an excellent adventure-climb, do this one!

With proper jamming it is even more fun than it was the last time
1186 points	16	★★ Man Overboard - with Ngaire Beckett	Trad 26m	Point Perpendicular		Sat 28th Oct 2017
1st route here. We had no idea what it was, but thought it looks nice and quite doable. And it was!

1053 points	21	★★ Chewin Fat With The Paleo Brat - with Richard Curtis	Trad 20m	Ebor Gorge		Sun 17th Sep 2017
carol lee That is the biggest sandbag I've ever climbed. Tried to climb, actually. It is at least a very stiff 23, to me it felt even more like a solid 24! Then again, it was my first and only day of climbing here at Ebor and maybe I was just spoiled by the 'easy grading' at Frog Anyway, this place is certainky worth visiting!
1016 points	15	★★ Peter Pan - with Ngaire Beckett	Trad 48m	Orroral area		Mon 30th Oct 2017
Good and quite exciting for a 15. Especially because we were not exactly sure where to go. Ended up doing it in 3 or 4 ish pitches
1008 points	21	★★★ The Janicepts - with dennis	Trad 27m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Mega Classic	Wed 19th Apr 2017
Absolutely awesome! Would probably be much less pumpy if you know, how to jam properly. I will always remember this route!
1007 points	15	★★ The Carthaginian - with Steve Jasmin	Trad 33m	Blue Mountains		Fri 29th Sep 2017
nice!
958 points	15	★★ Hope	Trad 15m	Blue Mountains		Wed 19th Apr 2017

full moon ascent - sweeet!
791 points	14	★★ The Obituary	Trad 30m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Tue 18th Apr 2017
Super enjoyable!
736 points	19	★★ Windjammer - with Ngaire Beckett	Trad 30m	Point Perpendicular		Sat 28th Oct 2017
Totally ran out of gear for at the top and had to lower down to recycle two cams from lower down
686 points	13	★★ Possum - with Ngaire Beckett	Trad 50m	Orroral area		Mon 30th Oct 2017
cool! Again, we weren't too sure about the pitches. Was certainly much harder than 13
554 points	18	★ Aeroplane Jelly - with Richard Curtis	Trad 20m	Ebor Gorge		Wed 20th Sep 2017
Strenous jamming, nice line!
