	24	★ Just Peachy - with Michelle	Sport 15m	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Bernie Walsh	Mon 29th Dec 2014
Went for the onsight, but came unstuck in the crimpy middle section.
	23 24	★★ The Apricot Slot	Sport 14m, 9	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Ben Jenga	Sat 17th Jan 2015
Pretty easy 4 with just a two move crux. Some fun steep moves on jugs, funky middle section then more jugs.
	24	★ Just Peachy	Sport 15m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Ben Jenga	Sat 17th Jan 2015
Crimpy!! A couple intense crimpy moves on the vertical wall sums up the crux. Hope those crimps last the test of time and traffic....
	24	★★ The Apricot Slot	Sport 14m, 9	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Jason Smith	Sun 18th Jan 2015
Funky climbing with good rests in between. Maybe 23?
	24	★★ The Apricot Slot	Sport 14m, 9	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Vanessa Wills	Sat 7th Feb 2015
Great start. Though the crux may only be 2 moves, I only did it 1/7 times
	24	★★ The Apricot Slot	Sport 14m, 9	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Ben Jenga	Sat 21st Nov 2015
Soft 4 but good fun. Repeat.
	24	★★ The Apricot Slot	Sport 14m, 9	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Paul Frothy Thomson	Sat 21st Nov 2015
Fun thugging with a short and tricky crux. Once again I couldn't seem to conjure the energy to stick the slopey, reachy crux move, and chose to bail off the route.

	24	★★ The Apricot Slot	Sport 14m, 9	Blue Mountains		Jason	Sat 2nd Jan 2016
Worked the crux to get the sequence right. Heel hook worked well
	24	★★ The Apricot Slot	Sport 14m, 9	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Doug	Mon 4th Jan 2016
Fell off due to Jason's fear of pockets and smacking my elbow into the wall instead of a casual sidepull. Great link into Plumtastic. Good easy climbing with one goey move off the slope to the ledge. Punching to the slope out right near the Plumtastic bolt might make this an easier and better (soft?) 23.
	24	★ Just Peachy	Sport 15m	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Lee Cujes	Sun 31st Jan 2016
Hard work up the headwall, especially with no tell-tale chalk.
	24	★★ The Apricot Slot	Sport 14m, 9	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Lee Cujes	Sun 31st Jan 2016
Interesting.
	24	★★ The Apricot Slot	Sport 14m, 9	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Jason Lammers	Sat 13th Feb 2016
The slope hold felt a bit shit in 30 degree spoooge and the flying beatles were unbearable. Save this one for a cool friction friendly day
	24	★★ The Apricot Slot - with Damo, Clem, Ben	Sport 14m, 9	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Rob Medlicott	Sat 31st Dec 2016
Really nice little route and in the shade from about midday or so. Second shot was easy but it was a bit hard to onsight today, with the slopey crux and the spoogey conditions. Would probably be really easy on a good day but even the qlders were complaining about the humidity today...

23
	23	★★ Mango Chutney	Sport 16m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Paul Frothy Thomson	Sat 27th Jul 2013
Hard at the end of the day. Felt 24ish? Fell off just past the roof after a decent fight, then fell off again on the last move to the anchors (broke a footer). Two particularly hard moves, but challenging sequences in between with various techniques required. A bit sharp, but with some repeats this will be a sustained little gem.
	23	★★ Mango Chutney	Sport 16m	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Ben Jenga	Sat 27th Jul 2013
EOD burn that ended up being a descent fight. Not quite as good as I had hope it would be but a bit of fun. Tricky top move.
	23	★★ Mango Chutney	Sport 16m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Jason Smith	Sun 18th Jan 2015
Nice climb, quite Duck Wall like. And a bloody fox stole my lunch!
	23	★★ Mango Chutney	Sport 16m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Adam	Thu 9th Apr 2015
with about 20 rests... and without the last moves... awesome climb...
	23	★★ Mango Chutney - with Nick, Vanessa, Jason Nguyen	Sport 16m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Rob Medlicott	Mon 5th Oct 2015
Yep, its really good and a definite sandbag. Spoogey conditions so i will do it another time.
	23	★★ Mango Chutney - with Paul Frothy Thomson, Ben Jenga	Sport 16m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Lee Cujes	Sat 21st Nov 2015
I thought this was quite engaging the whole way. Very cool.
	23	★★ Mango Chutney	Sport 16m	Blue Mountains		Jason Nguyen	Sat 21st Nov 2015
Would have been mango chuck-ney, if I kept climbing...
	23	★★ Mango Chutney	Sport 16m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Ben Jenga	Sat 21st Nov 2015
Better then I remember.. Thin pull at the top.
	23	★★ Mango Chutney	Sport 16m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Paul Frothy Thomson	Sat 21st Nov 2015
Felt sustained and hard at the grade to me, but consistently interesting and engaging. I thought I was doing okay until I reached the last moves to the anchor. After a few goes I didn't manage to stick them today (I've managed that feat in the past) and chose to come down.
	23	★★ Mango Chutney	Sport 16m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Mega Classic	Grant Stewart	Sun 29th Nov 2015
Really good, interesting the whole way... keeps you honest!
	23	★★ Mango Chutney	Sport 16m	Blue Mountains		Jason	Sun 20th Dec 2015
bouldery
	23	★★ Mango Chutney	Sport 16m	Blue Mountains		Jason	Sat 2nd Jan 2016
needed to work hard. Remember to push with the L leg on the last move
	23	★★ Mango Chutney	Sport 16m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Doug	Mon 4th Jan 2016
Very cruisy today. Knowing the lower crux and having the draws on changes everything. Was very fresh at the top which is important.
	24 23	★★ Mango Chutney	Sport 16m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Jason McCarthy	Sat 20th Feb 2016
Found this super hard on the first shot then climbed it really well on my second. Awesome varied climbing on some perfect rock. Hard for a 23.
	23	★★ Mango Chutney	Sport 16m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Tim Clarkson	Sun 10th Apr 2016
Great route with a lot of moves and varied climbing. Consistently overhung with usually overhung rests and hence very pumpy. Don't think there's any moves harder than 23, though the mail slot is a low percentage throw or very powerful pulling if you're under 6 foot. But threading it together? That's going to take some overhung endurance for sure. The arkward rest followed by final dyno (well protected) is gold!!!

Nails!!!!

	23	★★ Mango Chutney - with Jenna, Nicole	Sport 16m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Tom Collins	Sat 14th Apr 2018
So close on the onsite hanging draws - feel under the anchors final heart breaker move so pumped! Stoked with effort.
	23	★★ Mango Chutney - with Jenna, Nicole	Sport 16m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Tom Collins	Sat 14th Apr 2018
Final moves dialed in and alot more fresh.
	23	★★ Mango Chutney - with Lawrence	Sport 16m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Demetrius	Sun 24th Feb 2019
Need to come back for this. Fully engaging and tough finish.
	23	★★ Mango Chutney	Sport 16m	Blue Mountains		Calvin	Sun 21st Apr 2019
Fell coming out of the roof, go back fresh
	23	★★ Mango Chutney - with chrissy boy	Sport 16m	Blue Mountains		Jake Delaney	Sun 24th Jan 2021
i dare say it is not worth the walk. and its one star, let's not kid ourselves. sharp rock with holds blown off, this is unfortunately not in the realm of lost classics. but i didn't send it so what do i know? also thought i was on plumtastic. ill be back, but only for my pride, not the climb.
	23	★★ Mango Chutney	Sport 16m	Blue Mountains		Alec Landstra	Tue 3rd Jan 2023
full value
	23 Hard	★★ Mango Chutney - with Rina	Sport 16m	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Mike Rockell	Sun 21st Apr 2024
Solid
	23	★★ Mango Chutney	Sport 16m	Blue Mountains		Malcolm Watson	Sat 1st Jun 2024
Some cool moves on this, nor a great wet weather option though...
22
	22	★★ Plumtastic	Sport 16m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Jason Lammers	Sat 27th Jul 2013
Awkward start, then awesomeness with a pumpy last move
	22	★★ Plumtastic	Sport 16m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Ben Jenga	Sat 27th Jul 2013
Despite all the loose rock that has been removed from this line whats left is really good constant climbing on some unlikely and funky holds. Plenty of rests if you can find them and a good pumper. Longer then it looks.
	22	★★ Plumtastic	Sport 16m	Blue Mountains	Average	George Broadfoot	Sun 8th Sep 2013
Hmm.. Not great rock at the old foxhole. Good views though...

	22	★★ Plumtastic - with Michelle	Sport 16m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Bernie Walsh	Mon 29th Dec 2014
Half flash, half onsight. Some good moves and interesting climbing with a healthy dose of pump.
	22	★★ Plumtastic - with Ramon Francis	Sport 16m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Dale Rankin	Thu 15th Jan 2015
	22	★★ Plumtastic - with Jason Smith	Sport 16m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Ben Jenga	Sat 17th Jan 2015
Warm up repeat. Still a fair bit of loose rock on this wall.
	22	★★ Plumtastic	Sport 16m	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Jason Smith	Sun 18th Jan 2015
Post Xmas rehab - pumped
	22	★★ Plumtastic	Sport 16m	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Vanessa Wills	Sat 7th Feb 2015
Better than appearances
	22	★★ Plumtastic	Sport 16m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Adam	Thu 9th Apr 2015
went left at the end... I'm not sure if that's not cheating... Some really good moves.
	22	★★ Plumtastic	Sport 16m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Jason Nguyen	Mon 5th Oct 2015
Burly start, really cool for the rest of the climb, crux was fun!
	22	★★ Plumtastic - with Nick, Vanessa, Jason Nguyen	Sport 16m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Rob Medlicott	Mon 5th Oct 2015
This was a rad pumper, a lot longer than 16m..
	22	★★ Plumtastic - with Vanessa	Sport 16m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Rob Medlicott	Sat 17th Oct 2015
Draws on for V's send
	22	★★ Plumtastic - with Ben Jenga, Paul Frothy Thomson	Sport 16m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Lee Cujes	Sat 21st Nov 2015
Very nice, and would be great in summer. Cool and breezy.
	22	★★ Plumtastic	Sport 16m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Jason Nguyen	Sat 21st Nov 2015
Climbed a lot better than last time, but still feeling sick and quite bleh
	22	★★ Plumtastic	Sport 16m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Ben Jenga	Sat 21st Nov 2015
Warm up lap.. Pumpy
	22	★★ Plumtastic	Sport 16m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Paul Frothy Thomson	Sat 21st Nov 2015
First climb back in Australia in 2.5 months! Pumpy as, bro! A bit sharp, and a bit of loose rock still to go, but genuinely quite enjoyable and a great warmup for Bell.

	22	★★ Plumtastic	Sport 16m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Doug	Mon 4th Jan 2016
The best route here for the grade. Holds too big to fall off of. Under the prow for full value or up the arete if you're tired.
	22	★★ Plumtastic	Sport 16m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Lee Cujes	Sun 31st Jan 2016
Repeat. Gear on.

Fun pumpy climbing, maybe easy at 22.

	22	★★ Plumtastic	Sport 16m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Tim Clarkson	Sun 10th Apr 2016
2nd shot heartbreak. Excellent pumpy climbing with some good rests and an overhung thrutching finish. It was windy. There I was laying off the arete, my short arse in the wind... "The draws are hanging vertically, there's a break in the wind, quick!" 3 times pulling out slack for the anchors, 3 times they blew 45 degrees sideways out of reach.... Gave it my all, final slap/dyno to the lip with the good hand, wind blew me off. 6m plummet ensued. In other words, great route!

First visit to Fox Hole. Pumpy start. Most of the climb is jugs but the crux had unexpected crimps. Really enjoyable.
	22	★★ Plumtastic	Sport 16m	Blue Mountains		Jordan Colmer	Wed 4th Apr 2018
Hard for the grade or just difficult to read
	22	★★ Plumtastic	Sport 16m	Blue Mountains		Ryan Tranter	Sun 16th Sep 2018
Cleaning up an old dog from a few years back. Nice climb with a couple of good rests
	22	★★ Plumtastic	Sport 16m	Blue Mountains		Meredith Apple	Sun 16th Sep 2018
Nice climb! Bouldery start, sustained tech moves in the middle then overhang finish!
