	17	Your Subconscious Knows	Unknown 40m	Blue Mountains		Stu Dobbie	Mon 5th Nov 2012
start is good, but the unpleasant mantle onto fragile shale ledge above shit gear not good...

	24	FA ★ The Bermuda Tyreangle	Mixed trad 25m, 5	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Vanessa Wills	Mon 30th Apr 2018
FFA. Not very sustained. Diabolical start, then nice grade 20 from first bolt. Stick clip essential. The gear is good and plentiful, though small. Wires useful too. Gets good for the line.

Careful hold selection, but plentiful gear. Quite steep
	17	Charcoal Ground	Mixed trad 15m, 2	Blue Mountains	Don't Bother	Joshua Norris	Tue 23rd Aug 2016
A large piece of rock came off and crushed 3 of my toes between the first two RBs. Would not recommend, however perhaps it's safer now..
	17	Charcoal Ground	Mixed trad 15m, 2	Blue Mountains	Crap	Tomrad	Sat 3rd Oct 2020
Nice crack moves but poor Protection and the starting bolts seemed impossible to get to.

	18	Me and My Shadow	Trad 65m	Blue Mountains	Average	Vanessa Wills	Sun 20th May 2012
Didnt hate it as much as Neil but thats cos I wasnt leading
	23	★★★ Sacred Ground - with Zac	Trad 63m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Macciza a.k.a. Macca	Sun 13th Mar 2016
Harsh warmup...somehow I picked the first pitch and Zac let me, might have been easier if we did it the other way... Might have been easier if we had a look at route description, rather then me writing one afterwards. Having discussed the idea of a double rack we still ended up there with just singles and wires... Ended up bogged just a few body lengths short of the belay, stuck on a ledge with no suitable gear, had to back clean and still could not make the belay for fear of not having gear...

	20	FA ★★★ Wizard of ICU	Trad 16m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Mega Classic	Vanessa Wills	Tue 2nd May 2017
Seconded Dave which was about as scary as leading this horizontal trench. Upgradable really.
	22	FA ★ Hung out to Dry	Trad 16m	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Vanessa Wills	Tue 2nd May 2017
Seconded Dave. Dirty with doubles from #3 to 5. Type 2 fun.
	17	FA ★ BookEnd	Trad 30m	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Vanessa Wills	Tue 2nd May 2017
Hell, if I have to carry up my body weight in cams, I am going on the FA: 3x#2, 3x#3, 2x#4, 2x#5, #6, #9. It actually climbed really well with minimal thrutching.
	24	★★★ Supercrack - with Stephen Winnacott	Trad 65m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Paul Frothy Thomson	Sat 8th Jul 2017
Psyched for the onsight! A burly, perfect #2 cam roof-crack, that overhangs about 9m. Juggy jams, bomber rock, oodles of gear. Super streno with outrageous moves. Kinda intimidating, but not too hard at the grade. We skipped P1 (you can walk around it), P2 - Clean 2nd - intimidating without big gear, awesome steep stemming/chimneying; P3 - Onsight!
	24	★★★ Supercrack	Trad 65m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Paul Frothy Thomson	Sat 8th Jul 2017
Repeat. Another lap clean on lead to get up the route so I could backjump to clean the gear. Hands starting to hurt now.
	24	★★★ Supercrack - with Paul Frothy Thomson	Trad 65m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Mega Classic	Stephen Winnacott	Sat 8th Jul 2017
Skipped P1 by walking to base of P2, onsighted P2, belayed Paul on his onsight of P3 crux pitch, then he lowered off and I flashed it on his gear, was either that or clean it on second but I'm stoked to get it clean even if the gear was pre-placed.
	23	★★★ Sacred Ground - with Stephen Winnacott	Trad 63m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Paul Frothy Thomson	Sat 29th Jul 2017
P1 - Onsight (low angle slab following an incipient seam with lots of wires, but not so good rock); P2 (Linked with P1) - Pink Point (2nd shot - Gnarly steep crack that overhangs 8m to the pea pod. The crux section is devious and intimidating and super old-school. I had a loooong onsight attempt with probably 20min in the crux steepness before bungling it (the credit goes to Steve for unlocking the beta, after I whipped and came down). The send (with gear in situ) was solid and fun); P3 - 2nd Clean (17ish? Mixed rock quality but fun and continuous wide climbing).
	23	★★★ Sacred Ground - with Stephen Winnacott	Trad 63m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Paul Frothy Thomson	Sat 29th Jul 2017
Yep... another same day lap to do it in good style, placing all gear on lead. Rad!
	23	★★★ Sacred Ground - with Paul Frothy Thomson	Trad 63m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Mega Classic	Stephen Winnacott	Sat 29th Jul 2017
Epic route. Ended up doing 3 laps all up, as did Paul, linking it all bottom to top clean on the 3rd push. I pink point the 1 & 2 pitch after a lap working out the beta, then Paul got the red point and I followed it up clean on my 3rd lap, then continued on to onsight the final pitch, parched and glycogen depleted. Good solid day out.

	28	FA ★★★ Beyond Belief - with Gwen and James	Trad 40m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Mega Classic	Jacques Beaudoin	Tue 26th Mar 2019
FFA. Exceptional climb, hard to put a grade on this but it really doesn't matter, def felt harder than 25. The FFA was pink point. Zac Vertees subsequently sent it placing gear
	24	★★★ Beyond Belief - with zachary vertrees, Jamie	Trad 40m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Macciza a.k.a. Macca	Sat 2nd Mar 2019
Just the short version today... cleaning after Zac's onsight ... enjoyable climbing up to where it steps up a little ... pealed out off an off-hands section trying to milk a poor jam to get my other failing jam a bit better ... then continued ... will be back for further attempts and beyond ... Great climbing and quite novel looking route ...
	19	★★★ A Right Chimney - with zachary vertrees, J Corkins	Trad 40m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Macciza a.k.a. Macca	Sat 2nd Mar 2019
Onsight First ascent(?) by Zac and cleanly seconded by Jamie and myself. Almost came off in offwidthy thrutch section just before cave but kept it together. Strange how sometimes one can seemingly completely forget , or at least not remember, or perhaps ignore, sequences you've just watched others do... Good fun old fashioned climbing, done in fine style by all...
	28	★★★ The Great Divide (The Great Divide Project) - with Jacques Beaudoin	Trad 15m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Will Vidler	Fri 15th Mar 2019
Absolutely wild. Climbed about a third of it in an epic dog session and did most of those moves. From where we got to, the rest of the crack needs a pretty good clean to de-crozzle and remove a chunk of choss but after that it will be good to go. Possibly the hardest route I've ever tried. Go get on it people!!
	21	FA ★★★ The Gob-smacking Brute ?? - with zachary vertrees	Trad 55m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Macciza a.k.a. Macca	Sun 31st Mar 2019
First ascent ... An awesome line that seems to dare/demand that you to give it a try despite your 'better judgement' .... Regardless of the chance of failure and obvious ensuing difficulties we gave it a shot, though the unknowns of getting a decent belay and getting through the roof held the keys to success... fortunately we were pleasantly surprised.... An awesome, engaging, full value climb ...
	28	★★★ The Great Divide (The Great Divide Project)	Trad 15m	Blue Mountains		Jacques Beaudoin	Thu 30th May 2019
Fourth day on. Sorted out the last moves of the first tier just before the Spinning Blades Traverse, using a pocket jug on the right then easy move left on the first blade. Much easier than the Vidlers crimp fest. There's still a move in the first tier I cannot repeat Did most of the moves of the tier 2 which is chugging along the blades then go back to the ceiling crack in the coolest sequence of the climb so far. Now I stopped at the last blade available for footwork where I believe the crux of the climb is to turn around with last available bad finger jam in the crack and face the truth, I can't see any holds for about a body length before the Ironstone Traverse starts. To be continued...
