	29	★★ Skin To Skin	Sport 10m	★★ Very Good	oliver kerr
Thwarted by the heal rubber of my shoe peeling off during the crucial heel. A surgery attempt on the shoes failed to stem the bleeding. My second red point go ended at the same time with more rubber peeling off.

	26	★★ Inflatey Katey	Sport 12m	★★ Very Good	Max Gordon
Clipping the third bolt in the roof proved to be my crux. I ended up meat wrapping my calf on the block and things came together. A few sessions with your local chiropractor might be all the beta you need for the crux.

	21	★★ Frig The Pig	Sport 15m	★★★ Classic	Maurício Chino
Beautiful climbing up the flake woth lots of perfect and comfortable finger jams then a very tricky crux for the grade and thin easier slab to the anchors. Classic!!
	23	★★ Pulling On the Porcelain	Sport 12m	★★★ Classic	Maurício Chino
Great bouldery start to easier finish.
	21	★★ Shufflepuff	Sport 10m	★★ Very Good	Maurício Chino

Super fun climbing and a few killer knee bars if you can spot em.

with good conditions this would be great, jams were a bit slippy with the humidity.
	21	★★ Frig The Pig	Sport 15m	★★ Very Good	Zac Schofield
Very cool climb, the crux feels pretty compressed and insecure if you are taller

	28	★★ Vehicle Of Hate	Sport 8m	★ Good	Dave Hoyle
2nd shot. A fun boulder problem on a rope.
	29	★★ Skin To Skin - with Kate Riordan, Dave Hoyle	Sport 10m	★★ Very Good	oliver kerr
Took me a few goes to work out the moves - the last traverse is a doozy! I made it into the crux on my final attempt and pretty happy with that. Better conditions may assist in winter...if climbing is allowed anymore with this whole corona thing.

Thompson's Point The Grease Cave
	21	★★ Shufflepuff - with Rod de Paiva	Sport 10m	★★★ Classic	Dan Brown
EOD challenge from Rod! I can see why now! Used some skills I didn’t even know I had. Super scary coming out of the offwidth, using the chicken with my technique into pure layback above a daunting runout.

	18	★ Black Adder - with Louize Whitby	Sport 15m, 7		Shazzy
bailed! the holds from 1st to thirds bolts were super thin and hollow. I tried to continue on but I just couldn't trust it

	27	★★★ Top One Thommo - with Todd H	Sport 15m	★★ Very Good	Brian W
Maybe one day, but Todd sent. Start before the roof is a good warm up
	23	★★ Pulling On the Porcelain - with Todd H	Sport 12m	★ Good	Brian W
Prob would have got this if I had a clip stick to clip the first 3 bolts

	29	★★ Skin To Skin - with paul rattenbury	Sport 10m	★★★ Classic	George Broadfoot
Nemesis!! Finally did it with a concentrated effort. Now I must learn to cruise up it so I can try stamp tramp! Cool holds and moves, just so easy to fall off for me! This was a relief

	21	Scabfest	Sport 6m	Crap	RadicalCasey
Horrid, felt very thin and what holds were present were covered with a black sandy choss. I only dogged it on top rope. Only has 2 bolts + anchor and I'm pretty confident a fall near the anchors would lead to a deck out
	17	★★ Bullwinkle	Sport 15m	★★ Very Good	RadicalCasey
Cool climb, technical and slabby sections were fun. It felt steep for the grade, but slabs is not normally my bag.

	15	★ Sour Grapes	Sport 8m	★ Good	Daniel D
fun to speed climb up using foot jams
	26	★★ Inflatey Katey - with aaron	Sport 12m	★★ Very Good	Daniel D
gave it a go. hard to leave the nice security of the ledge to begin the climb out under the roof. made first few clips in the roof. still trying to find nice beta.

	21	★★ Shufflepuff	Sport 10m	★★ Very Good	Daniel D
worth trying. hard to commit to the pure layback after 1/2 way when the real climb begins. thank goodness its short.
	21	★★ Frig The Pig	Sport 15m	★★ Very Good	Nick Morgan
Tough crux, great climb.

Still hard but ai love it! Need to tape my hands next time as they were ripped up in the crack.
	15	★ Sour Grapes - with oliver kerr	Sport 8m	★ Good	Kate Riordan
Lots of fun and it made my hands bleed!

	27	★★★ Top One Thommo - with Paul Frothy Thomson	Sport 15m	★★★ Classic	Tom Collins
Steep
	27	★★ Caught In The Act	Sport 15m	★★★ Classic	Jason Smith
Bit of an unloved classic. The weirdness of Lost Weekends straight into some of the biggest heel hooks you'll ever fall off.
	26	★★ Inflatey Katey - with Jason Smith	Sport 12m	★★ Very Good	Scrumpy
To the last draw again, better beta through the crux and a lot smoother to the anchors just need to refine and fight the pump. This is definitely doable
	26	★★ Inflatey Katey - with Jason Smith	Sport 12m	★★ Very Good	Scrumpy
Made it to the last draw clean second shot but struggled with the right hand cross to crimp at crux and a bit messy going to the anchors
	26	★★ Inflatey Katey - with Jason Smith	Sport 12m	★★ Very Good	Scrumpy
Starts easy then getting a feel for the roof
	26	★★ Inflatey Katey	Sport 12m	★ Good	Ben Jenga
Short and sweet but a bit scary committing to that last move with the draw grinding over the rock edge.
	27	★★ Caught In The Act	Sport 15m	★★★ Classic	Ben Jenga
Just wasn’t feeling it today, plus the last month of only doing slab has left my steep endurance a bit poor
	26	★★ Lost Weekends	Sport 15m	★★ Very Good	Ben Jenga
Should have been first shot today but put it to rest on the second. Fun powerful moves but pretty short and weird balance.
	27	★★ Caught In The Act - with Jason Smith	Sport 15m		Matt Pascoe
Felt strong, then faded.
	27	★★ Caught In The Act - with Jason Smith	Sport 15m		Matt Pascoe

	27	★★ Caught In The Act - with Jason Smith	Sport 15m		Matt Pascoe
Felt strong, then faded earlier still. Good training mileage. What's with the 27 upgrade?

	21	★★ Frig The Pig - with oliver kerr	Sport 15m	★★ Very Good	Kate Riordan
Awesome climbing to the third bolt with some great stemming and laybacking. Hard after that and I think undergraded at 21.

Nice slabbing at the top, fun way to finish the day
	17	★ Bitter Lemon	Sport 6m	★ Good	Shaun Shuncan Duncan
I definitely struggled in the lower half. Need to work on my jamming and crack skills.

	23	★★ Pulling On the Porcelain	Sport 12m	★ Good	Jacob Bresnahan
Cool for the grade. If you stuff up clipping the 3rd bolt it could get ugly.
	27	★★★ Top One Thommo	Sport 15m	★★ Very Good	Jacob Bresnahan
4 shots. Knee bars help
	27	★★★ Top One Thommo	Sport 15m	★★★ Classic	Elliot Kals
Pretty damn fun. Took a while to figure out a nice sequence to gain the roof ( definitely the crux for me )... 2nd shot today, 5th total!

I was surprised at how good this was. It also changed my mind a bit on bolted cracks at Nowra. Every budding sport climber should have a crack at this

Good climbing, kneebar heaven. Hands free rests in the roof . Preclipped the first 3 draws. Reworked the transition between the jugs on the way back down. Will use a heel hook next time for the transition instead of the kneebar.

	27	★★ White Trash	Sport 10m		Jason
I can visualise the moves. But couldn’t latch the move over the first roof. Or the move to the high break. Move core strength in order for this puppy. Nice though.

I struggled on this. I need to work on my crack climbing technique. But pretty cool climb.

cool climb with good moves and all the holds are right where you need them.

tricky lower section with small hold but great past that!

Who said Nowra season was over? And what's a bit of rope caught round a leg helping with the swing? Felt good to crush this! Not even pumped!...well...at least not as pumped as I thought.

	27	★★ Sex Kitten - with Marie	Sport 12m	★ Good	Ryan Holmes
Broke the good fin jug thing entering the crux on the first try - makes it a little harder.
	27	★★★ Top One Thommo - with Azhar, Magdalena de la Torre, Mitch	Sport 15m	★★★ Classic	Lucas C
Jug slap, baby jug slap!!
	27	★★★ Top One Thommo - with Azhar, Magdalena de la Torre, Mitch	Sport 15m	★★★ Classic	Lucas C
Another post crux jug grab!
	27	★★★ Top One Thommo - with Azhar, Magdalena de la Torre, Mitch	Sport 15m	★★★ Classic	Lucas C
Final burn and I’m still not keen on the cop out knee bar haha I whipped again going for the jug.did the crux twice to the anchors.Please go down! I beg you!!

Second run up this, such nice stabbing. Topped out and walked back to the carpark
	21	★★ Shufflepuff	Sport 10m	★★ Very Good	Wall
Very cool. Easier than it looks but still a challenge. I feel like I got the tick on this despite pulling on a draw since pulling on said draw did not aid my ascent in any way and was only dome cause I thought I was gonna take, but then reversed the pull and didn't take. Onsight otherwise
	17	★ Bitter Lemon - with oliver kerr	Sport 6m	★ Good	Kate Riordan
Like its counterpart Sour Grapes, this was a nice but tricky climb. I found myself often out of balance trying to manoeuvre myself around to awkwardly get hand and foot jams. Still a cool little climb well worth doing - will defs come back to get it clean!
	15	★ Sour Grapes - with oliver kerr	Sport 8m	★ Good	Kate Riordan
A tricky little climb that's hard for the grade - especially if your hands are too narrow for the crack!
	27	★★ White Trash - with Kate Riordan	Sport 10m		oliver kerr
Took me a while but I figured out that I have to match with ticked heel at the lip and clip off the first crimp. Lastly don't forget the underling out right at the anchors!

	27	★★★ Top One Thommo - with Magdalena de la Torre	Sport 15m	★★★ Classic	Lucas C
Up to crux but chickened out! My beta is to not use the knee bar but I have to do the throw while so pumped!
	27	★★★ Top One Thommo - with Magdalena de la Torre	Sport 15m	★★★ Classic	Lucas C
Whipped going to the small under cling, then I went straight to the top. I’m so close but so far haha
	27	★★★ Top One Thommo - with Magdalena de la Torre	Sport 15m	★★★ Classic	Lucas C
Draws on, on hang before crux.
