Peak Head West Face
19 Baylac Directly Direct (Baylac Direct Direct) - with Mark & Bruno Mixed trad 80m, 10 Classic
Much better 2nd pitch than the normal route. Highly recommend

 
18 Lucifer's Dream - with Mark & Bruno Trad 91m Classic
Suprisingly, I found this climb was fantastic. Just as good as Baylec Direct. Perhaps the jamming is a little more technical as well.

Trad 120m Average
Mega walk in just to discover a 4WD track reaches there as well. Mega three pitch abseil. And two mega 60m solos to get out. I don't recommend this unless you really like slab.

Mermaid Point Left Side
19 Crackosis Fistjambosis Bennetii - with Ronan & Rob Trad 15m Very Good
Hard! Awesome fist jamming up a flaring crack

 
Sat 27th Dec 2014 - Albany
Mermaid Point The Pyramid
17 Rat Tomago - with Ashlee Trad 25m Don't Bother
Started too low. I think I started too low and had to aid the start. The topo in book may be wrong. Calling it an onsight only because I'm pretty sure I on sighted from where the belay should have been. Did in two pitches and had an epic with ash

The Gap Natural Bridge Area Whalestooth Area
14 Black Russian - with Ashjlee Trad 12m Average
The best way to get your bags up. Ugly corner.

 
15 Whalestooth - with Adam Trad 13m Good
Nice crack.

 
Sun 9th Nov 2014 - Albany
The Gap Natural Bridge Area Amityville Area
19 Over Indulgence - with Ashlee Trad 16m Classic
Another classic! Hard to make look easy. Awkward laybackin and gear placements make this one burly climb. Really worth it though

 
Sun 9th Nov 2014 - Albany
The Gap Natural Bridge Area Surf's Up Wall
15 Surf's Up - with Ashlee Trad 22m Classic
Great climb. Built a hanging belay on ledge 2m up so my belayer wouldn't go swimming with the fishes. If you don't like your belayer, make them swim with the fishes Fell trying to stay inside crack. Better, and easier, if you step out of crack

Mixed trad 100m, 6 Very Good
Combined pitch 1 & 2 into a mega long, 59.5m pitch. Don't place too much gear, and it is possible. 3rd pitch as Albatross

Mixed trad 80m, 11
Did third pitch of this to get off the ledge.

 
20 Mist Opportunity - with Ashlee Mixed trad 57m, 5 Very Good
Crux is leaving crack. Maybe a little soft.

 
21 Storm In A Teacup - with Ashlee Mixed trad 55m, 8 Mega Classic
One of the best climbs in WA! It has everything. Hard for the grade, but still a 21.

 
18 Mist-Defied - with Ashlee Mixed trad 60m, 4 Very Good
Be careful of that flake!

 
Sat 8th Nov 2014 - Albany

19 Layers of Grooviness - with Ashlee Mixed trad 77m, 4 Classic
AWESOME! I didn't take enought gear... as usual DBB is exactly where it should be after the final bolt. Just look hard

Trad 110m Classic
First climb of the day and it was a beauty. The travese brings you around a corner to some awesome exposure. Ashlee led the second pitch like a boss. Third pitch is fine.

Trad 96m Mega Classic
Awesome. First pitch is a gem. Got past the initial bulge and enjoyed the jamming/lay backing crack all the way to a wonderful belay ledge. Also watched a totally beautiful sunset. Great climb!
