	30	★★★ One Hit To The Body	Sport 30m	The Pulpit (private land)	★★★ Mega Classic	Sun 28th Jun 2009
Inspiring line. Super good rock climb. First 30! Very stoked.
	30	★★★ One Hit To The Body	Sport 30m	The Pulpit (private land)	★★★ Mega Classic	Wed 16th Sep 2009
lap at the end of the day to get pumped. 3 or 4 falls

	30	★★★ Ethiopia	Mixed trad 30m, 3	Arapiles	★★★ Mega Classic	Wed 26th Oct 2016
Had my first proper go after sorting out the beta the other day. Was tired before I even pulled on (6 physical days on) and slipped at the India crux being a bit casual. I pulled back on from below the India crux and went all the way through to the anchors. If only I'd stuck the chuck!
	30	★★★ Ethiopia	Mixed trad 30m, 3	Arapiles	★★★ Mega Classic	Wed 26th Oct 2016
Had another crack still pumped from the first go and made it all the way nearly to the roof! Fell just before getting the last kneebar... Had to have a little lie down.
	30	★★★ Ethiopia	Mixed trad 30m, 3	Arapiles	★★★ Mega Classic	Fri 28th Oct 2016
Success! Didn't feel too bad after a rest. Great route
29
	29	★★★ Tiger snake (Beastly Behaviour)	Sport 15m, 6	The Pulpit (private land)	★★★ Classic	Wed 16th Sep 2009
great unexpected moves that feel unlikey until you've done them. 3 or 4 falls
	29	★★ Jet Lag	Sport 18m, 8	Arapiles		Sat 20th Dec 2003
with Douglas. I did all the moves. (v. thin)

	29	★★★ Tiger snake (Beastly Behaviour)	Sport 15m, 6	The Pulpit (private land)	★★★ Classic	Thu 5th Jul 2012
How good is rock climbing?!?
	29	★★★ Horseshoe bat (Gay Pride)	Sport 20m	The Pulpit (private land)	★★★ Classic	Sun 8th Jul 2012
Figured it out and then got to the crux twice skipping the clip and whipping massively. Great climbing, long hard pulls and really continuous.
	29	★★ Wagalak	Mixed trad 17m, 3	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Wed 7th Nov 2012
had a quick play at the end of the day. Tres bouldery!
	29	★★ Jet Lag	Sport 18m, 8	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Sat 15th Dec 2012
spent a while flaying my tips on the crux section. Didn't feel impossible as it did last time.
	29	★★★ The Beast from the East	Sport 15m, 7	Mt Tibrogargan	★★★ Classic	2006
dogged it once with a buggered finger. Must do it one day.
	29	★★ L'inconscience Tranquil	Mixed trad 12m, 3	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Mon 13th May 2013
Hard for a fair while! Took some nice lobs going for the jug
	29	★★ L'inconscience Tranquil	Mixed trad 12m, 3	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Tue 14th May 2013
Had a second session after yesterday's effort and got the top dyno sorted and a good bit of linkage. It's still bloody hard for me. Work your weaknesses as they say... I'm worked!
	29	★★★ Serpentine	Mixed trad 75m, 11	Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre	★★★ Mega Classic	Mon 7th Oct 2013
An outrageous route. 2nd try after dogging. Bit of a marathon. One of my forearms blew up solid and I camped out for 15 mins at the last rest before it went down. Very satisfying.
28
	28	★★★ Beautiful Thing	Sport 16m, 5	The Pulpit (private land)	★★★ Classic	Sun 28th Jun 2009
2 shots. One hanged it. Doesn't feel too bad. Perfect power endurance route. Zero rests.
	21 28	★★★ The AntiChrist (The Antichrist P2)	Mixed trad 120m, 3	Mt Maroon	★★ Very Good	Wed 1st Dec 1999
We only did the first 2 pitches. I onsighted the second pitch as part of my climbing instructor's exam. (with Rachael Watts and Glenn Sharrock) A friend of mine had a 50m fall on this pitch in the 70's!!!
	29 28	★★★ Four Metres of Madness	Sport 4m, 5	Mt Coolum	★★★ Classic	Sun 25th Nov 2007
short but great!!! This whole route is horizontal! Mat gave me a go and I found a couple of knee bars... Just have one move at the start to figure out
	28	★★★ The Forty Metre Mile	Sport 30m, 15	Mt Tibrogargan	★★★ Classic	Sat 11th Mar 2006
I havn't had exploding forearms like this for ages. I couldn't remember very many of the moves on my routes that this utilises and muffed most of the sequences!! 2nd'd Lee to get the draws off with 2 dogs at the crux and one at the crux of overseer (21)!!
	28	★★★ India	Trad 25m	Arapiles		2003
Got the moves. But doesn't everyone.

A few more goes. Still fluffed it at the crux.
	28	★★★ The Forty Metre Mile	Sport 30m, 15	Mt Tibrogargan	★★★ Classic	Mon 11th May 2009
I somehow managed to be fit enough to do this easily on my 2nd go!! Very surprised! My secret: reach back and unclip 8 draws on the way to reduce drag
	28	★★★ Debrilla	Mixed trad 25m, 5	Frog Buttress	★★★ Classic	Sat 28th Aug 2004
The ultimate anti-offwidth! 4th go/3rd day (2nd shot today.) I took some massive lobs on my first shot! 29.6.04: End of the day. Fell off at the crux. Finished in fading light. 15.5.04 Got it with one rest on TR.
	27 28	★★★ The Way of All Flesh	Sport 25m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Mega Classic	Tue 10th Apr 2007

	28	★★★ Beautiful Thing	Sport 16m, 5	The Pulpit (private land)	★★★ Classic	Sun 21st Oct 2007

	28	★★★ The Antichrist P3	Mixed trad 120m, 3	Mt Maroon	★★★ Mega Classic	Sat 20th Oct 2007
I managed to drag my carcass up this after 20 straight 12-13 hr days with about 15kg hanging off me til the crux and then only a couple of rests then clean to the top. What an inspiring pitch! Great job Ad!!!!!!
	28	★★★ Slopin' Sleazin'	Sport 15m, 4	Arapiles		Mon 24th Nov 2003

Somehow managed to be fit enough to do this easily on my 2nd go!! Very surprised!

	28	★★★ Steel on Steel	Sport 12m, 6	Victoria Range	★★★ Classic	Fri 16th Nov 2012
Got to the end on my second go but the move is so hard! I need to come back and figure it out properly
	28	★★★ Steel on Steel	Sport 12m, 6	Victoria Range	★★★ Classic	Tue 27th Nov 2012

	28	★★★ The Ogive	Trad 36m	Bundaleer Area	★★★ Mega Classic	Tue 1st May 2012
Quick dog up and back clean to get Wendy's gear off. Surprised myself getting pretty high from the ground. There aren't many routes like this around...
	28	★★★ Slopin' Sleazin'	Sport 15m, 4	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Fri 4th Nov 2011
got all the sections. Some difficulty at the pocket up high. Shorter than I remembered

Amazing route. Had two cracks, got all the moves without too much trouble and had a rad time
	28	★★★ Venom	Mixed trad 60m, 4	Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre	★★★ Mega Classic	Mon 6th May 2013
Charged it! Went past the crux first go and then flamed out but got it second go.
	28	★★★ Touchstone Pictures	Sport 46m	Bundaleer Area	★★★ Mega Classic	Thu 26th Jan 2017
Had a play at the end of the day. The diabolical bit is diabolical.
	28	★★ The Great Escape	Mixed trad 20m, 4	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Tue 31st Jan 2017
I tried this a few years ago and did it in two halves (broken at the rest). Same again today. I'll try to get back on it soon next time and it might go!

Frey gave me a go when it was still his project.
	27	★★ White Trash	Sport 10m	Nowra	★★ Very Good	Sat 7th Jul 2007

5th go
	27	FA ★★★ Hybrid Vigour	Sport 24m	Mt Tibrogargan	★★★ Classic	Fri 20th May 2005
What do you get when you stack a 26 on top of a 25? Up Wailer til its last bolt but then traverse right for 3m to the start of the business end of 'The Last Piece' finishing up this. 8 shots over 3 days.
	26	FA ★★★ Deeper Water	Trad 310m	Lake Huntley	★★★ Mega Classic	Sun 20th Mar 2005

Fairly brutalised but progress!
	27	★★★ DV8	Sport 30m, 8	Mt Tibrogargan	★★★ Classic	Sat 19th Sep 2009
2nd go. Bloody good. Really tenuous and desperate with a couple of hard clips. There are a lot of hard to hold holds in the first half.
	27	★★ Song and Dance Man	Sport 13m, 6	Flinders Peak (limited access)	★★★ Classic	Sat 1st Sep 2007
Had a quick go while it was still Ross' project. Very nice! especially in the top half.
	28 27	★★★ Weapon of Choice	Sport 15m, 9	Mt Coolum	★★★ Classic	Sun 25th Nov 2007
Heaps of progress. Got the last bolts in, Did the middle bit that I couldn't figure out before and I'm one move off doing the start!

	26	FA ★★★ Deeper Water	Trad 310m	Lake Huntley	★★★ Mega Classic	Tue 9th Jan 2007

	28 27	★★★ Spoonman	Sport 20m, 11	Mt Coolum	★★★ Mega Classic	Sun 18th Nov 2007
dogged a lap to clean up a few stray hangers etc
	27	★★ Eight Minute Abs ((Project - Gareth))	Sport 12m, 7	Mt Coolum		Thu 7th Jan 2010
Did all the moves bar the boulder start (which I've nearly caught previously) and led past the last bolt to the anchor. Needs a clean but will be good. Big moves on really steep wall with mostly really big holds. Might be 25 after the start move? Finishes with a great lip mantle going from 50 degree wall to a hanging ledge. Very atmospheric for a short route!!
	28 27	★★★ Gasoline Rainbow	Sport 20m, 9	Mt Coolum	★★★ Mega Classic	Sat 3rd Nov 2007
2nd shot!! What? My 1st 28 in a day!!! Hooray. Great route by the way Lee and JJ
	28	★★★ Passport to Insanity	Trad 110m	Victoria Range	★★★ Mega Classic	Tue 2nd Dec 2003
Cleaned up the trashed ropes that were tangled all over the place. Also on 15.12.98
	28 27	★★★ Spoonman	Sport 20m, 11	Mt Coolum		Sun 22nd Apr 2007
Breaks left from the 5th bolt of Insanity. climbed 3m past my last bolt about 10-12 times (taking some big air on the way) but I got through the crux to the next clipping hold. I'll just have to finish equipping it now.
	28	FA ★★★ Spoonman	Sport 20m, 11	Mt Coolum	★★★ Mega Classic	Sun 1st Jul 2007
Hooray!!! My new hardest route. Have a go and tell me what you think.
	28 27	★★★ Weapon of Choice	Sport 15m, 9	Mt Coolum		Thu 25th Oct 2007
I was fairly well brutalised but still good progress
	27	★★ Song and Dance Man	Sport 13m, 6	Flinders Peak (limited access)	★★★ Classic	Sun 13th Jan 2008
2 goes but maybe soon... tweaked my hand not too badly hopefully.
	28 27	★★★ Weapon of Choice	Sport 15m, 9	Mt Coolum		Sun 30th Sep 2007
got the anchor in and had a quick thrash. Needs a clean but I'm now convinced it will go.
	28 27	★★★ Gasoline Rainbow	Sport 20m, 9	Mt Coolum	★★★ Mega Classic	Sun 2nd Dec 2007
Got it with a fall cause i couldn't remember the sequence. Such a good route!!
	28 27	★★★ Weapon of Choice	Sport 15m, 9	Mt Coolum	★★★ Classic	Sun 9th Dec 2007
1st day of redpointing. got it with two falls, one at the anchor. Very steep and cool. The final clipping jug broke making it a touch harder. Awesome!!!
	27	FA ★★★ The Bends	Sport 15m	Mt Tibrogargan	★★★ Classic	Tue 2nd May 2006
	27	★★★ Ricochet	Sport 17m	Serpent	★★ Very Good	1999

	27	★★★ The Extra 3%	Sport 24m, 8	Popran	★★★ Mega Classic	Sun 29th Jul 2007
Great! I just missed the very last move on my second go!! I couldn't have gotten any closer and not ticked it!!
	28	FA ★★★ Weapon of Choice	Sport 15m, 9	Mt Coolum	★★★ Classic	Mon 24th Dec 2007
Did another lap for breakfast but pulled off the final clipping jug on the way back down. Then I led it again without the. jug. It's harder now!! Maybe 28?
	28 27	★★★ Spoonman	Sport 20m, 11	Mt Coolum	★★★ Mega Classic	Sun 23rd Dec 2007
one lap to get the new anchor in and one lap to get the draws off.
	28	FA ★★★ Weapon of Choice	Sport 15m, 9	Mt Coolum	★★★ Classic	Sun 16th Dec 2007
5th go Woohoo
	28 27	★★★ Spoonman	Sport 20m, 11	Mt Coolum		Fri 11th May 2007
another thrashing. good progress. I've done it in 2 sections now, up to the rest and from the rest to the top. Now I just need to be fit enough to rest.
	27	★★ The Antipump	Sport 10m	Mt Coolum	★★ Very Good	Sun 18th Nov 2007
the bar of soap is cool! hard to hold but an incredible feature, Got it in two sections
	28	FA ★★ Eight Minute Abs	Sport 12m, 7	Mt Coolum	★★ Very Good	Sun 24th Jul 2011
FFA. After about half a dozen goes I managed to latch the crux as a jump and then cruise to the top only to be too relaxed on the last move and my foot slipped! A few more goes up to the crux and I bouldered it out again, but statically and got both hands on the bucket with my toe still hooked! By this stage it was all I had left to drag myself to the top. It wasn't pretty on the last moves but was effective enough.
	V8 27	★★ Bloody Weapon (Flying Migrant)	Sport 15m	Mt Coolum		2011
	27	★★ Body Recession	Mixed trad 15m, 3	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Thu 14th Jun 2012
jumped on this on in '97 with Neil and got spanked. Didn't feel too bad this time and it's my anti-style. Yay. Fifteen year project goes down! If the second half of this route was a boulder problem it would be super classic!!
	27	★★★ Weapon of Choice	Sport 15m, 9	Mt Coolum	★★★ Classic	Sat 7th Jul 2012
on tr to get the first draws off
	27	★★ Pooh Sticks (Poosticks)	Mixed trad 22m, 3	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Fri 9th Nov 2012

	26 27	★★ Absinthe (Absynthe)	Sport 14m, 7	Mt Ninderry	★★ Very Good	Thu 20th Dec 2012
nice and steep and continuous. Doesn't relent. Worth a star or two for sure.
