24 Unity (Rat$ Direct) - with Paul Griffiths Sport 25m Blue Mountains Classic Sun 22nd Jan 2017
My first 24 and managed to get it onsight as well! Hauled myself onto the start and then made my way up the wall. I struggled just before the big ledge but managed to stay on. After a long rest on the ledge I made my way up the tecnical part of the wall just above the ledge and finished with a bit of a dynamic move to what luckly turned out to be a good hold. I was very happy to get to the top of this on very pumped.

23 Los Hermanos de la Denitente - with Andrew Stevenson Sport 10m, 4 Mount Alexandra Classic Sat 15th Jul 2017
Glad to get this route clean finally. What a great climb.

 
23 Show Us Your Form - with Jack Sport 15m, 4 Alfords Point Very Good Sat 1st Jul 2017
Glad to get this one clean, the move out from the roof to the jug is fun.

 
23 Scones of Doom - with Adam Mujaj, Paul Griffiths, BG Sport 15m, 4 Berowra Classic Sun 10th Jul 2016
My first 23 clean and I flashed it. Nice moves if not a little easy for 23 but I will take it.

 
23 Ruthless Babe - with Andrew Stevenson Sport 12m, 5 Bluebell Classic Sat 6th May 2017
Pretty happy to get this clean. Didn't find it as hard as I thought I might.

 
23 Fun Police - with Andrew Stevenson Sport 30m, 11 Wingello Very Good Sun 27th Aug 2017
Really fun climb and quite pumpy down low, good thing that there are some good rest spots.

 
22
22 Hotel California - with Andrew Sport 330m Blue Mountains Classic Sun 12th Oct 2014
Nice climb, as others have said it is a hard start pitch especially with a heavy bag. The traverse pitch is the pick of the bunch. Overall a very good adventure. 7 hours car to car.

 
22 Moonage Daydream - with Adam Mujaj Mixed trad 30m, 6 Blue Mountains Very Good Sat 13th May 2017
The crux reach was just a bit too much for my height, other than that it was a good route.

 
22 Dodecahedron - with Blue Mountains Orangutan Sport 20m, 7 New Nowra - Braidwood Road Classic Sat 13th Aug 2016
Got this second attempt today. Very happy to get this one clean.

 
22 Seamstress - with Andrew Stevenson Sport 22m, 10 Blue Mountains Classic Sun 21st Aug 2016
Great route, had to fight to get to the anchors as my energy was quickly running out.

 
22 Sister Rosa - with Stuart Sport 18m, 8 Blue Mountains Classic Sun 22nd Sep 2013
I really liked this climb. Bouldery moves up to the first bolt then and interesting mantle and through the roof and carry on up.

 
22 It Goes! - with Junko Sport 15m Blue Mountains Very Good Sat 13th Dec 2014
I was happy to get this route as I have looked at it a couple of times and thought I could get it. It may be a touch easy for the grade but I was still very pumped after the roof.

 
22 Murdoch the Horse Fucker - with Blue Mountains Orangutan Sport 12m, 5 Nowra Classic Sun 14th Aug 2016
Very happy to get this first attempt and suprised that I still had energy left at the top.

 
22 SWALK - with Paul Griffiths Sport 25m Blue Mountains Classic Sun 22nd Jan 2017
This was a really nice climb with a few rests to stop you getting mega pumped.

 
22 Bunker Bolster - with Andrew Stevenson Sport 18m New Nowra - Braidwood Road Very Good Sat 30th Jun 2018
Maybe a little easy for the grade but I will take it. Fun climbing all the way up.

 
22 Extension Lead - with Andrew Stevenson Sport 20m Blue Mountains Classic Sun 29th Jan 2017
Great climb with a hard start. Well worth climbing.

 
22 On Edge - with Andrew Stevenson Mixed trad 28m, 5 Blue Mountains Classic Sat 1st Apr 2017
What a great route with technical climbing on the arete. The bolts did feel a bit spaced.

 
22 Snake Charmer - with Andrew Stevenson Sport 13m, 7 Narrabeen Very Good Sat 9th Dec 2017
Loved this climb, in particular the move into the crack is great with some good hand jams.

 
22 Bad Luck Silverback Variant Mixed trad 14m, 2 Joll's Bridge Very Good Sat 5th Aug 2017
My first attempt at top rope soloing. I thought it would be a good one because of the nicly placed bolts at the top but I didn't think that this would actually put me on the variant finish at 22.

Managed to drag myself up and the system that I used seemed to work pretty well and safely although I can think of a few improvements to the system which I will try later. In hindsight I should probably have don Chocolate Coated Parents first before jumping on this.

 
22 Pocket Rocket Mixed trad 9m, 1 Wahroonga Very Good Sat 12th Aug 2017
Hard moves down low and then it gets easier towards the top.

21 Honey Im Direct - with Andrew Trad 35m Joll's Bridge Very Good Sun 11th May 2014
Nice climb, tricky getting into the start of the second pitch.

 
21 Positive Ape Factor (Variant Finish) - with Andrew Stevenson Trad 10m Berowra Very Good Sun 5th Jul 2015
Great climb, if I was a bit taller I am sure I could make the direct finish.

 
21 Archaeopteryx - with Andrew Stevenson Sport 45m, 14 Blue Mountains Good Sun 28th Aug 2016
This route could be very good if the rock wasn't bad in several places. My partner pulled off quite a sizeable hold.

 
19 Savage Cabbage - with Andrew Stevenson Trad 8m Berowra Very Good Sat 20th Jul 2019
Just a quick run on top rope, still feels hard for 19.

 
21 Frantic - with Brendon, Dave Sport 15m, 5 Narrabeen Very Good Sun 4th Jan 2015
This felt easy for a 21, nice moves.

 
21 Kim - with Paul Griffiths Sport 10m, 3 Bonnet Bay Classic Sat 2nd Jul 2016
21 24' - with Adam Mujaj Sport 12m, 3 Berowra Very Good Sun 10th Jul 2016
Was quite reachy after the second bolt for me but once I worked out how to do it it was fine.

 
21 Sister Moon - with Jack Sport 15m, 6 Alfords Point Very Good Sat 1st Jul 2017
Still very good

 
21 Breaking Good - with Jack Trad 15m Alfords Point Very Good Sat 1st Jul 2017
Really enjoyed this route. The cams in the breaks are good and the move from the first break to the second on crimps is pretty tricky. Well worth a climb.

 
21 Palm Sunday - with Andrew Stevenson, Veronica Trainor Sport 15m, 3 Berowra Very Good Sun 16th Jul 2017
Repeat

 
21 Tits and Bits - with Andrew Stevenson Sport 10m, 2 Bangor West Very Good Sun 13th Feb 2022
Fun route, took a few attempts to work out the moves but once I got them it was ok.

 
21 Mars Apple - with Andrew Stevenson Sport 8m, 3 Bangor West Very Good Sun 13th Feb 2022
Fun moves at the start.

 
21 Kim - with Elly Sport 10m, 3 Bonnet Bay Classic Sun 21st Apr 2013
21 Tingles - with Andrew Sport 16m Mt Ku-ring-gai Good Sat 11th May 2013
A little hard to work out where the climb was meant to go but when we found it, it was OK.

 
21 Septic Penguins - with Shawn Sport 12m, 5 Narrabeen Classic Sun 4th Aug 2013
Great climbing on huge holds. I found it easier than it looked from the ground.

 
21 Palm Sunday - with Paul Sport 15m, 3 Berowra Very Good Sat 7th Sep 2013
Great climb, had fun all the way up. The first bolt wasn't as hard to clip as I thought.

 
21 Friendly Fire - with Stuart Sport 12m, 4 Blue Mountains Very Good Sun 22nd Sep 2013
Really good climbing up crimps.

 
21 Looks Poxable - with Paul Sport 15m, 4 Berowra Very Good Sun 27th Apr 2014
Great climb with nice flowing moves, probably my favourite at Berowra

 
21 Exhibition Wall - with Paul Sport 30m Blue Mountains Classic Sun 18th May 2014
Great Climb, hard start followed by nice sustained climbing to a rest and then up to the top. The last moves were pretty tricky too.

 
20 21 Sister Moon - with Andrew Sport 15m, 6 Alfords Point Very Good Sun 15th Jun 2014
Great route.

 
21 Broken And Barbed - with Andrew Sport 18m, 6 Nowra Very Good Sat 5th Jul 2014
Great route to finish the day with. I found the bottom part harder than the top part.

 
20 21 Flash Flood - with Roger Austin Sport 18m, 7 Blue Mountains Very Good Sat 7th Feb 2015
Nice climbing with a campus start. I found the move to the undercling the hardest.

 
21 Mr Orange - with Paul Griffiths Sport 38m, 17 Blue Mountains Classic Sat 27th Aug 2016
This is an awesome climb with lots of interesting varied moves. Going through the roof was probably the best bit. Did as one long pitch.

 
21 Hullaballoo Sport 15m Blue Mountains Very Good Sat 24th Sep 2016
Nice thin section through the middle. Felt right for the grade

 
21 Oblivious Mixed trad 20m, 4 Blue Mountains Very Good Sat 24th Sep 2016
I have always overlooked this climb but it turns out it is well worth doing.

 
21 Sound and Vision - with Elly Sport 20m Blue Mountains Very Good Sun 16th Oct 2016
Great climb, the crux was pretty reachy for me but I made it stick.

 
17 21 Dress Rehearsal Rag (Dress Rehearsal Rag - 1st Pitch) - with Andrew Stevenson Sport 35m, 4 Blue Mountains Classic Sun 13th Nov 2016
Not sure about the statement about it being desperate for 17. I found this fairly straight forward, just enough holds to make a great route.

 
21 Shakes and Flakes - with Andrew Stevenson Sport 30m Blue Mountains Classic Sun 13th Nov 2016
Best route of the day, it has some great climbing and some thin sections but not where I thought they would be.

 
21 Pig Iron Slaughter - with Andrew Stevenson Sport 45m Blue Mountains Classic Sat 3rd Dec 2016
What an amazing arete to climb. I was glade to get this clean given how warm it was. It has some great moves at the crux on the arete.

 
21 Bulls Head - with Andrew Stevenson Sport 35m Blue Mountains Classic Sun 29th Jan 2017
Great fun adventure route for a sport route. A nice traverse with some harder moves at the end of it.

 
21 Vulgar Direct - with Jack, Amanda Sport 32m, 13 Joll's Bridge Mega Classic Sat 5th Aug 2017
Simply one of the best 21s I have done in Sydney. This route had all kinds of different climbing and a really decent height to it.

The first moves up the short face took me a while to commit to as it was a really long reach for me to the good hold. The airy traverse and corner pedastal thing was great. Then there is the move off the pedastal which was hard for the grade and kept you honest. And just as you think it is finished someone decide to put in a couple more bolts meaning you have to escape from the cave.

If you go to Jol's Bridge do this climb!

 
21 Dr Do Little - with Andrew Stevenson Sport 15m Blue Mountains Very Good Sun 10th Feb 2019
Good climb, the crux move is hard especially for the short. I did it more dynamically than I should but managed to hold onto it.

 
21 Starman - with Andrew Stevenson Sport 25m Blue Mountains Very Good Sun 10th Feb 2019
Mostly easy for a 21 but there was 1 hard sidepull move down low.

 
21 Stuck in the City - with Paul Griffiths Sport 8m, 3 Bonnet Bay Average Sat 15th Jun 2019
Ok but nothing special.

 
21 Tree Beard - with Michael Law Sport 10m Blue Mountains Very Good Sat 2nd Nov 2019
Really enjoyed the whole climb. The crux move was quite strong.

 
21 Movin' On Up - with Michael Law Sport 25m Blue Mountains Very Good Sat 2nd Nov 2019
Great climb, would be pretty hard if there wasn't a rest half way. The top section gets a bit thin in places, everything is just not quite as big as you would like it.

 
21 The Fixer - with Demetrius Sport 13m, 7 Mount Keira Very Good Sun 15th Dec 2019
Great route, really glad to get the onsight. There was a bit of luck involved getting the right holds and sequence above the roof. Best climb of the day.

 
21 Crimp da buttock - with Jack Sport 20m, 5 Mount Alexandra Very Good Sat 5th Nov 2022
Nice variant, pulling over the bulge on crimps felt hard for the short.

 
20 21 Killer's Kidneys - with Paul Griffiths Sport 8m, 3 Bangor West Good Sat 14th Jan 2017
Nice route

 
21 Barbarossa - with Adam Mujaj Sport 35m Blue Mountains Classic Sat 13th May 2017
Great route, it just sustained the pump throughout with out any particularly hard moves. Loved the double kneebar close to the top for a rest. Be a bit cautious when lowering, on my 60m even with the first bolt unclipped we had to play a few games to get to the ground.

 
21 The Dynamic Duo - with Andrew Stevenson Sport 18m The Cathedral Very Good Sun 20th Nov 2022
Really nice climbing.

 
21 JP Mixed trad 12m, 1 Wahroonga Good Sat 12th Aug 2017
Nice climb with quite a reach in the middle.

19 20 Muriels Wedding and Russells Divorce - with Shawn Sport 12m Blue Mountains Very Good Sun 21st Jul 2013
Nice Climb

 
18 Z - with Andrew Trad 10m Middle Cove Very Good Tue 4th Nov 2014
20 Randy Rabbit Ridge - with Andrew Stevenson Sport 280m, 99 Blue Mountains Very Good Sat 19th Mar 2016
Great new addition to the area, my favourite pitches were 2 and 8 but there was a good amount of climbing throughout.

WARNING: If you are going to climb it any time soon be careful we manage to pull off so pretty large holds. I am sure that this will clear up over time.

 
20 Bohemiath - with Paul Griffiths Sport 37m, 14 Blue Mountains Very Good Sat 27th Aug 2016
Nice climb, fairly solid at the grade. Did a 1 long pitch.

 
20 The Phoenix - with Andrew Stevenson Trad 45m Blue Mountains Classic Sun 28th Aug 2016
Awesome climb. It was a bit of an adventure to get to, thanks for all of the fixed ropes. Once you get there and look down the climb you know that you are in for some fun.

A great continuous crackline that just eats gear. There were 2 tricky section but nothing too hard, would have helped if my fingers were a bit fatter.

 
20 Woodface - with Jack, Amanda Sport 40m Joll's Bridge Classic Sat 5th Aug 2017
I did the original route this time as I had done the direct before. There is quite a hard move going up just after you move left onto the original route.

The top pitch is still awesome and hard for what it is.

 
20 Bundy's been bolting - with Jack Sport 15m, 6 The Cathedral Good Sat 5th May 2018
Repeat, Still a nice climb probably a little hard for the grade.

 
20 Khe Sanh - with Andrew Stevenson Mixed trad 25m, 6 Wolgan Valley Very Good Sun 24th Jun 2018
Great slab route that looks hard from the ground but there are enough holds. Climbs very well.

 
20 Woodface Direct - with Andrew Sport 35m Joll's Bridge Classic Sun 11th May 2014
Great climb, a lot better than it looks from the ground.

 
19 20 Choc Chip Chai - with Roger Austin Sport 15m, 7 Blue Mountains Very Good Sat 7th Feb 2015
Great line, more overhanging than it looks

 
20 Bummagedon - with Brendon Flanagan, Ranger Dave Sport 15m Mt Ku-ring-gai Very Good Sun 30th Aug 2015
The crux was as tricky as I remember it but managed to get it clean again.

19 20 Aarvark - with Elly Sport 9m, 3 Bonnet Bay Classic Sun 21st Apr 2013
I loved this route. Great moves through the overhang on huge holds involving a heel hook. Then a nice face with good holds just where you want them. Felt a lot easier than it looked.

 
20 Go Lotto - with David Sport 22m, 7 Blue Mountains Very Good Thu 25th Apr 2013
A good climb to get you pumped but plenty of places to rest and shake out.

 
20 Retro Crack - with Elly Sport 25m, 8 The Cathedral Classic Sat 4th May 2013
Great line with good but sharp jamming to start followed by solid laybacking.

 
20 Bummagedon - with Andrew Sport 15m Mt Ku-ring-gai Very Good Sat 11th May 2013
Nice climb with a committing climb pulling out of the cave.
