Sharks fin
	22	FA ★ Trireme	Trad 40m	★ Good
Alternate pitches FFa by Simon Voss, Robert Knight and Phil Box. Steep climbing over three distinct roofs. It is marred somewhat by the start pitch which is akin to a vertical beach.
Sun 13th Jun 2004 - Frog Buttress

Northern Escarpment Robin's Buttress
	18 17	★★★ Barbe Di Vendetta	Trad 90m	★★★ Mega Classic
I did the 1st and 3rd pitches and Lee did the second pitch. The top pitch is 45 metres and not 15 as advertised in the guide. Watch for loose rock in the top pitch.
Sat 27th Dec 2003 - Hillwood (private land)
Rock Of Ages & Surrounds
	17	★ Parallel Universe	Sport 18m	★★ Very Good
I changed my mind this one is the best at Hillwood

Sat 13th Dec 2003 - Frog Buttress
East of the access track
	16	★★ Materialistic Prostitution	Trad 20m	★★★ Mega Classic
I`ve done this climb many times but just for the heck of it I ran up it in bare feet and no tape gloves and two bits of pro. This was the third climb I ever did way back when and I did it in bare feet then too but that was on second.
Sun 23rd Nov 2003 - Frog Buttress
West of the access track
	20	★★ Sleight of Hand	Trad 8m	★★ Very Good
The person who soloed this as an FFA has my total respect.
	22	★★ Lord Drool	Sport 6m	★★ Very Good
This would be a very ballsy lead as pro is almost non existent apart from one bolt
Sat 15th Nov 2003 - Mt Tibrogargan
NE Buttress Sector
	19	★★ Sunburnt Buttress	Trad 190m	★★ Very Good
I onsigthed the second, third and fifth pitch. This is a great route for an adventure but be aware of severe runouts on the second last pitch with problematic bolt finding. The rest of the climb is very well bolted.
Sun 18th May 2003 - Frog Buttress
West of the access track
	18	★ Ethicmans Dilemma	Trad 22m	★ Good
Of course I liked it, I love jammin
	15	★ Rest Area Ahead	Trad 10m	★★ Very Good
Another hidden Frog gem

What can ya say when the route offers two pieces of pro, one blue Alien and then the biggest cam that can be bought.
	21	★★ Oppenheimer's Monster	Mixed trad 25m, 2	★★★ Classic
Why does this climb not have three stars. An improbable climb that I would not ordinarily consider but when on it found it to be fantastic
	20	★★★ Devils Dihedral	Trad 45m	★★ Very Good
I`m working my way through all the harder climbs I`ve seconded in the past. Call this one an oldtimers onsight.
	19	★ Humility	Trad 15m	★★ Very Good
Another one of the few face climbs at Frog. Give it a go you`ll be pleasantly surprised
Sun 4th May 2003 - Mt Tibrogargan
Halfway House

Fantastic climbing at the grade.
Sun 30th Mar 2003 - Mt Tibrogargan
Halfway House
	23	FA ★★ Gut Punch The Budda	Sport 12m, 5	★★ Very Good
Dogged up seconding Lee on the first ascent
	24	FA ★★★ Voluptuous	Sport 11m, 7	★★★ Mega Classic
I can`t really lay any claim for the FFA as I was merely there and worked it on top rope while Lee also worked it.
	21	FA ★ Cunningly Deceptive	Mixed trad 25m, 2	Average
Very careful gear placement needed on the start of this one
Sun 9th Mar 2003 - Frog Buttress

Sun 2nd Mar 2003 - Mt Tibrogargan
Clemency Wall
	15 18	★ Lancelot	Trad 90m	★★★ Classic
Cameron Fairbairn lead the first two pitches in one push and I lead the second two pitches together. This is a great climb except for the exposed crux which is unprotectable. A little caution here is needed to surmount the crux.
Sun 2nd Mar 2003 - Mt Tibrogargan
Halfway House
	18	FA ★ The Sword In The Stone	Trad 25m	★★★ Classic
This is actually the original second pitch and then Cameron Fairbairn put up a more direct line on two bolts later in the day but it goes at 24.
	17	FA The Court Jester p2	Trad 20m	★★★ Classic
You too can enjoy this fun masterpiece.
	23	FA ★★ Maponus p2	Mixed trad 25m, 2	★★★ Mega Classic
I feel honoured to have been a part of the first ascent team. Cameron lead the first pitch and I lead the variant second pitch and then Cam lead the direct second pitch. We each seconded the other.
Sun 16th Feb 2003 - Mt Tibrogargan
Clemency Wall

Fun little first pitch direct start to Lancelot
