Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd Bell Supercrag Arrivals (Lower) | ||||||
22 | ★ Rocky Road - with Matthew Burt | 15m | Average | |||
Fun start that wasn't quite as "streno" as the route description led me to believe. Middle of the route was enjoyable, though the movement was a little repetitive. Finish was a tad confusing; big jugs up right or nails (not 22) holds direct through the bulge...obviously, I went via the jugs, but it felt a little off route given where the last bolt and anchors are positioned.

Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd Bell Supercrag The Blowhole | ||||||
24 | ★★ Body Blow - with Matthew Burt | 12m, 6 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Pretty chuffed to nab the onsight. Sequenced really well and found many of the holds to be much better than I was expecting. Crux was pretty darn fun, especially with numbed out hands; thankfully managed to rest just enough before it to pull through. Thanks for the permadraws; made it very easy to consume.
|
||||||
22 | ★ Kiama - with Matthew Burt | 20m | ★ Good | |||
Straight after Araldite to get gear on for Matt. Felt strong on the crux and came down nice and warm.
|
||||||
20 | ★ Araldite - with Matthew Burt | 20m | ★ Good | |||
Found this a bit soft for the grade. Some nice moves and features though. Matt cruised the onsight.
|
||||||
17 | ★ Aquadhere - with Matthew Burt | 15m | ★ Good | |||
This and Clag are probably my two favourites out of the easy routes. Great features on this one, though it probably doesn't do much to warm me up.
|
||||||
16 | ★ Kwik Grip - with Matthew Burt | 15m, 9 | ★ Good | |||
Warming up. Not much different than Blow Me.
|
||||||
16 | ★ Blow Me - with Matthew Burt | 16m, 9 | ★ Good | |||
Warming up. Pretty good value for the grade. Not as pumpy as the two routes to its left.

Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd Bell Supercrag Arrivals (Lower) | ||||||
21 | ★★ Jingle Bells - with Matthew Burt, Sammi | 15m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Good fun. Nice climbing up the flake to the start of the steepness, then it definitely turns on. A pretty fierce crux (for the grade) is followed by some steep jugging that could definitely see you getting some air time; I was working pretty hard against the pump and EOD fatigue.

Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd Bell Supercrag The Blowhole | ||||||
22 | ★ Kiama - with Matthew Burt, Sammi | 20m | ★ Good | |||
After Sam's send. Ended up doing the crux the way I sequenced it from the ground, not how Sam climbed it, but that's likely due to being taller. Nice, punchy little crux, but it's over pretty quick. Like Blow Over, it turns to simple jugging for the rest of the route, though does climb through some cool featured rock.
|
||||||
22 | ★★ Blow - with Matthew Burt | 10m, 7 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Great climbing. Sequenced the start boulder really well, finding the holds quite a bit better than I expected. Headwall was good fun too, with some nice consistent movement...kind of a shame it doesn't keep going! I ended up doing the extension, but it adds nothing more than some extra metres.
|
||||||
19 | ★ Aquadhere - Extended - with Matthew Burt | 20m | ★★ Very Good | |||
This was really fun, though quite stop-start. I'd say Aquadhere get's its grade for the last move to it's chains, and I'd say the same of this extension.
|
||||||
16 | ★ Blow Dry - with Matthew Burt | 15m, 6 | ★ Good | |||
Another good one. Added more warmth to arms, and felt very solid for 16. Very tough start for the grade. Could easily see this being 17.
|
||||||
15 | ★ Clag - with Matthew Burt | 15m, 8 | ★ Good | |||
I really quite enjoyed this one. Good climbing for the grade, and pretty consistent too; built a nice warmth in the arms. On the hard end of 15, maybe 16.

Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd The Dam Cliffs Wet Feet Area | ||||||
17 | ★★ Wet Feet - with Matt Burt | 14m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Afternoon session for this route and a swim. Climb was pretty fun but over quickly, so not quite a classic. Definitely a must do for the area though. Matt did great on second, despite the pressure of not wanting to fall on the traverse and have to prussic up

Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd The Dam Cliffs Steep Wall | ||||||
16 | ★★ The Sisters of Fatima - with Matt Burt | 12m, 5 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Good finish to the day. Always an enjoyable climb.
|
||||||
21 | ★ Friendly Fire - with Matt Burt | 12m, 4 | ★ Good | |||
Difficulties are short lived, but otherwise enjoyable.
|
||||||
18 | ★ Stormin Norman - with Matt Burt | 12m, 4 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Really quite enjoyed this; some fun movement and great holds.
|
||||||
17 | ★ Ted Turd-Tossa - with Matt Burt | 8m, 2 | Average | |||
Good but very short. Nice to be climbing in the Bluies again.

Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd Bell Supercrag Arrivals (Lower) | ||||||
19 | ★ Belayer's Root - with Dad | 14m | ★ Good | |||
Cleaning gear. I quite enjoyed this one—some good technical movement up a slightly steep wall. Dad almost onsighted and Matt almost flashed—they both fell moving to the chains!! So good to see them working hard
|
||||||
24 | ★★ Wet Paint - with Duncan | 16m, 6 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Definitely feeling the fatigue from so much climbing. Wasn't sure I'd get through the crux this time, or be able to fight the pump after, but managed to squeak it in by climbing efficiently. Happy to get it done. It's not a classic, but it is pretty good climbing.

Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd Bell Supercrag Duck Wall | ||||||
22 | ★★ Daffy - with Duncan Steel † | 20m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Great climbing. Butchered the crux a little and flash pumped a bit, so spent a long time resting on the jugs just after it before realising there was a huge ledge just above me haha. I spent more time resting there thinking the finish was going to the be the main crux, but it turned out to be jugs. Very fun route, and a nice length. Would be classic if the ledge wasn't there.
|
||||||
16 | ★ Rabbit Season, Duck Season - with Duncan Steel † | 12m, 7 | ★ Good | |||
Cleaning gear while Matt and Dad respectively flashed and onsighted Gosling. Not too bad. Lots of options and very short. Didn't do much to warm me up though. Matt onsighted and Dad flashed this for their first climb
|
||||||
20 | ★ Duckling - with Duncan Steel † | 12m, 4 | ★ Good | |||
More warming up and getting gear on for Matt and Dad while they warmed up. Matt managed to onsight (!!) and Dad just missed out on the flash.
|
||||||
21 | ★★ Duck Tits - with Duncan Steel † | 16m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Warming up. Pretty nice climbing with some interesting movement.

Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd The Dam Cliffs Steep Wall | ||||||
23 | ★★ Dictator in a Deerstalker - with Sarah Doherty | 9m, 4 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Great punchy little number. Over very quick and likely soft for 23 but still good value.
|
||||||
19 | ★ Lonely Thursday - with Sarah Doherty | 12m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Probably a tad more consistent than 'Sloper for Saddam'. Went very direct at the last bolt using a shallow pocket instead of heading a touch right. Nice to see some clip'n'lower anchors on this one too.
|
||||||
19 | ★ Sloper for Saddam - with Sarah Doherty | 15m, 3 | ★★ Very Good | |||
As with most routes on this section, the features are great. Fairly solid start into jugs then the namesake sloper adds a bit a spice in the middle.

Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd The Dam Cliffs Mossy Wall | ||||||
12 | ★ Jug City - with Sarah Doherty | 15m, 3 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Great features. Scrubbed it clean of cobwebs for Sarah and top-belayed her up. Quite run out for a beginner lead after the last bolt.

16 | ★★ The Sisters of Fatima - with Luke | 12m, 5 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Awesome little climb. Such cool features for the grade.
|

18 | ★ A Tale of Two Cities - with Luke | 12m, 7 | ★ Good | |||
Great little climb on some cool featured rock.

Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd Bowens Creek Main Wall Left | ||||||
22 | ★★ Shut the Gate | 15m | ||||
Stiff start, then easy climbing to an interesting and committing finish on the arete. Loved the final moves.
|
||||||
20 | ★★ Kraut Pleaser | 15m, 6 | ★ Good | |||
Consistent and solid for the grade. A great little climb that builds a surprising pump.
