| 55m, 12 | Cape Raoul | ★★★ Mega Classic | Fri 19th Jan 2018 | |||
For the second time this trip I'm going to say, maybe the best pitch of my life! Such a shame my foot slipped while waiting for the rope to be sorted out after it was thrown into a very large mess by the wind! So I slipped at like the first bolt so it was basically an onsight?
|
||||||||
17 | ★★★ Sweet Nightmare (Link-Up) | 130m, 12 | Blue Mountains | ★★★ Mega Classic | Tue 2nd Oct 2018 | |||
Finally got around to doing sweet dreams with my sister, and when given the opportunity to do this ending to one up her friends who had done the route previously, we decided to give it a shot! Still awesome!

18 | ★★★ On Both Sides of the Glass - with Will Vidler | 80m, 10 | Blue Mountains | ★★★ Classic | Tue 11th Sep 2018 | |||
A very worthwile, back to springwood before 10:30am style, adventure. Pitch one is the money, amazing climbing! Pitch 2 is hilariously short and still worthwhile, hanging from one leg on a heel toe cam was my personal highlight. Good quality!
|
||||||||
21 | ★★★ Spoilt Brats and Gash Attacks - with Will Vidler | 57m, 10 | Blue Mountains | ★★★ Classic | Thu 20th Dec 2018 | |||
Absolutely classic! Linked Pitches one and 2 then rapped from there, super fun face climbing adventure with a classy double under cling crux!

23 | ★★★ Static - with Will Vidler | 35m, 8 | Blue Mountains | ★★★ Classic | Mon 24th Dec 2018 | |||

Got flashpumped on my first shot and forgot how to climb.... took a whip and sent it easily second go! So much fun climbing on the tower and good that it isn't just in a crazy position, it's a great route too!

26 27 | ★★★ Hollow Men Direct - with Will Vidler | 28m, 7 | Blue Mountains | ★★★ Classic | Fri 24th Jul 2020 | |||
Warmed up and it all felt pretty casual, got completely destroyed on the first lead shot and found some new beta that lead me to the send! Super psyched! Stayed on the RHS of the crack the whole way to the top which felt way easier so cant quite claim 27!

Unbelievable adventure! Was pretty intimidated rapping in and swinging across (which I nailed second shot) luckily nothing was too wet until just as I was setting off and a very big wave came and drenched everything. A 0.5 cam off the belay is key to not splashing into the raging sea below. So stoked on the onsight!!!!

21 | ★★★ Disaster Master-Pole Axed Linkup - with Will Vidler | 45m, 6 | Cape Raoul | ★★★ Classic | Fri 19th Jan 2018 | |||
Not as good as pole dancer, and because we linked it from the ground, rope drag was a serious issue, clipping the draws on the upper section was like doing max weight bicep curls and became the crux of the route! Still a lot of fun and nice and exposed climbing above the seal colony 100m below!!

|

20 | ★★★ Home James | 30m, 4 | Mount Buffalo | ★★★ Classic | Sat 23rd Feb 2019 | |||
Super good, and much safer than expected. Bomber trad gear in the really run out slab (0.4 BD and a bomber wire) which means you won't hit the ground if you fall off the crux

23 | ★★ Graveyard Wall - with Liam Thurston, Rebecca Crabb | 30m, 4 | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Mon 24th Jun 2019 | |||

13 | ★ Bastion Buttress - with Will Vidler | 240m | Warrumbungles | ★★★ Classic | Wed 12th Jul 2017 | |||
Definitely didn't start in the right place, and never traversed into the climb again.... later that night we discovered that we traversed into 'Corinth' at the sloping ledge with a bolt. We then traversed off coring going too far right onto a sketchy section that has possibly and never been climbed. Does being wildly off route count as a first ascent?

| 110m | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Sat 7th Apr 2018 | |||
A high quality adventure! First pitch has excellent sections split by choss which i had a bunch of fun on! Second pitch is a funky corner filled with death choss with a cool finger crack to start. The weird placement of the end of the second pitch baffled us for quite a while so we kind of ended up doing it in 5 pitches? Getting off the top of the pinnacle is the real adventure though, with some chossy scrambling and horizontal slot shuffling it made for an awesome day!

10 | ★★ Vertigo - with Will Vidler | 95m | Warrumbungles | ★★★ Mega Classic | Mon 10th Jul 2017 | |||
An absolute classic! First route we ticked in the Bungles and what a great one to start with! One of the easiest to locate with the base marked "V" and easy route finding.
We left Balor Hut around 2pm, climbed through sunset and topped out as it got dark, thankfully the descent was much more straight forward than expected. 2 bolted raps and one more off a tree landed us right into the descent gully.

Ultra classic! Super easy route finding on an amazing feature! 3rd and 4th are pretty exposed but still ultra cruisy! The descent through the green glacier is spectacular and another easy descent to follow!
should definately be on the tick list if you're heading to the bungles!
|
||||||||
18 | ★★★ Flight of the Phoenix - with Will Vidler | 310m | Warrumbungles | ★★★ Mega Classic | Fri 14th Jul 2017 | |||
The best route in the Bungles for sure! A tricky first 2 pitches, the second pitch being significantly harder than the first but still very managable!
The abseil pitch is kinda difficult to manage, with 2 ledges to choose from, the lower of the 2 makes the best belay! 4rd and 5th pitch are mega classic with great exposure and awesome climbing the while way! We got mildly off route on the 6th pitch, not following the gully and going a bit high! a big block broke off just before I reached the belay while seconding and i took a relatively small but crazy scary fall right onto wills belay! Very glad it held! Being slightly off route meant i led a very scary traverse back into the gully at much higher than grade 13 that the pitch is graded at! Racing the sun will lead the last pitch basically as a solo putting no gear in to save time! Because the pitch was so easy it made it super enjoyable!
If you have a spare day in the Bungles, definately give it a try, as easy bail in possible after the second pitch!
