21 Hunter Or Prey? - with Adrian Kladnig Sport 22m, 12 Very Good
Really good! Climbs well, fair for the grade, and crux at the top. Interesting and well bolted

13 Pompadour - with Scott Kelly Sport 15m, 10 Very Good
Good climb! A lot more bolts than the 13 on neighbouring grey slab. Techy up high!

Sport 80m, 45 Very Good
Lovely route with good bolting. Definitely no rap required on approach, just harnessing up and clipping into fixed ropes for a short section. Bit of choss to avoid up the scoops, but interesting movement and a thin-ish 19 crux mid pitch 3.

21 20 Nude Tuesday - with Adrian Kladnig Sport 20m Very Good
Really great thin but friction-y 21 climbing. Spaced bolts, 1 runout on genuinely easy ground. Eases off when you need it to.

Mixed trad 45m, 3 Classic
Great to get on this classic and lead the whole thing! 2nd pitch not nearly as runout when tou can head round the arete! Last time 70km/hr winds kept me away from all the good holds and chicken heads... this time was super comfy with a carrot just when you need it before the top. 1st pitch can be made better protected, but you might need double ropes to get all the good gear. Easy and obvious climbing though.

17 Burning Jowls - with Adrian Kladnig Sport 18m, 8 Very Good
BEWARE, one of the anchor bolts shared with Good Fortune is unrecessed and starting to wiggle. This has a thin crux for the grade at 2nd bolt, but hunting around for a few extra holds made a big difference from the last time I tried. Good climbing.

23 Weak as I am - with Adrian Kladnig Sport 22m, 13 Classic
One of the best 23s I've been on in ages. Classy climbing, wouldn't exactly say there's no crux, but the thin sections don't last long. Thanks to Adrian for the suggestion! Lots of bolts, great moves.

 
Mon 2nd Sep 2019 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Shipley Upper Grey Slab
19 Country Special - with Adrian Kladnig Sport 18m Very Good
Really really good climbing, marred only by a bit of old school bolting with potential deckout at 2nd and 3rd bolts. Thankfully from secure climbing and clipping positions. Old school 5 bolts plus anchors but damn good climbing at the grade!

 
21 20 Nude Tuesday - with Adrian Kladnig Sport 20m Very Good
Excellent!! Agree with the 21 grade for some thin moves. Quality though.

 
18 The Bandoline Grip - with Adrian Kladnig Sport 18m, 6 Very Good
Really nice! Nothing stiff on this one, just nice moves and a bit of tech at the top. Spaced but ok bolting at the bottom.

17 Pluck the Duck - with Scott Kelly Sport 12m Very Good
17 Pluck the Duck - with Scott Kelly Sport 12m Very Good
Lovely with just a couple of moves to make you think. Very fair for 17. Long draws on anchors avoid rope drag or biner bending over final jugs.

Blackheath Area Shipley Upper Sandwiches Wall
13 Pompadour - with Scott Kelly Sport 15m, 10 Classic
Really excellent at the grade with enough to make you think, but very fair and sportingly bolted for 13 - a 13 that grade 13 climbers will enjoy.

2 move wonder, but great moves and a bit of pump as it eases off after the crux. Would get more stars if the was more of it! Happy I flashed those 2 moves!

Mixed trad 45m, 3 Classic
Beautiful climb. Pitch 1 plenty of pro when you need it, very easy climbing between. Pitch 2 I totaly missed the bolt on right side of arete, just a sling on a knob and a decent wire, with a really big gap! 60km/hr winds didn't help me think clearly, but I'd love to come so it again not in a gale! Stellar exposure, and moves out of the cave easy with an easy to clip bolt if you look around.

20 19 Jack High - with Sam Clark Sport 20m Classic
Excellent excellent climbing. Thin and crispy climbing, good rests and had to have a good think and stare to figure out which tiny crimps were the ones through the crux. Well worthwhile.

Great lead by Jackie on the spaced 2nd pitch with air underneath and some snapped off holds to keep the blood pumping. Really great climbing, just a bit blind. Sequency through the runout above 1st bolt.

Sphincter tightening runout 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd bolt, 1st pitch. Stiff 18/19 off the ground, more in the sequence than anything. "It's all there".

Awesome climb, very in-grade, just runout up the wazoo. Not beginner bolting though the moves are very straight-forward.

22 Spread 'em Baby Sport 25m Very Good
More stars, people! Great climb, really strenuous arkward bridging and trying desperately to keep your feet on whilst hauling on slopers and crimps. Well bolted crux, thankfully!! Went down slab on my arse facing backwards and am all OK.

Great climb, I think 20 is fair, it's feisty at 19 like in the guide. Great moves though, really fun, really exhilarating!

Blackheath Area Centennial Glen Main Wall
23 Hairy Horrace Sport 12m Good
Very crimpy crux, I would stick clip 2nd bolt. Really not worth decking out on boulder and doesn't add difficulty to the climb. 1st 3 bolts is it, then balancy jugs to top.

Blackheath Area Porters Pass Dogs, Cats & Apples Wall
20 Nice Vice Baby Sport 20m, 9 Classic
Great climb, very though-provoking but do-able crux. Some seriously thin feet but awesome over the lip. Generally: put a draw through the perma-rope at the badly placed bolt under roof. Then gain lip, reach down and put your own longer draw on it, then keep going.

 
22 Nylon Happy Sport 20m, 8 Mega Classic
Amazing sequency varied route. Crux not so hard once your feet are sorted. Terrifying before then A must-do.

22 Shocking Pocket Monster Sport 15m Good
Bolt placement at crux not fantastic, belayer can, but needs to be agile to prevent you from hitting small ledge. At least 3 ways to do the crux, one does make the fall much better. Other than that, very cool climb! Strenuous!

Wow, what a sequence! What a whipping if you get it wrong too! Amazing climbing, will make you get your shit together at 22. So close dammit!

Great climb! Bouldery start, once you're past first 4 clips it's smooth sailing. Ticked it in the rain!

22 Duracell Bunny (Duracell Bunny (aka Milky Jugs)) Sport 15m Crap
I'm perplexed at the good comments. Some of the roughest, unfriendliest rock I've been on with snapped off hold all over the place, sharp rock and no flow. Awful.

Best warm-up in the Glenn. One bizarre and unhelpful bolt placement, but worth doing as a warm up and a better optiuon than Stephen Grunter.

Great climb, in-grade, lovely flowing moves. Spaced bolts but you got 'em where you need 'em. If 17's challenging, do it on top rope first.

20 17 Burning Jowls Sport 18m, 8 Good
Feisty if you're short, runout over ledge on thin moves. Totally doable but a couple of really thin moves if you're under 180cm. Other climbs on this wall much more in-grade.

Strenuous cause of the mantles, not a good warm up, but technically fair at 18. Very grunty though. I liked it, but then I'm into that sort of thing
