EOD burn Nice climbing and rock before and after but confusing on the crux moves. Next time, maybe?
	23	★ Whistle Blower	Sport 18m, 11	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Ben Jenga	Sun 31st Aug 2014
Yep this is still nails, the crimpy crux would be hard for 24 or perhaps I am doing it wrong. Good to clean up this old dog but not the walk in the park warm down I was hoping for. Still a worthwhile route but hard!!
	24 23	★ Whistle Blower - with vanessa	Sport 18m, 11	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Rob Medlicott	Sat 3rd Jan 2015
Really enjoyable at first and then the holds disappear and there isledge below and belayer can't see or hear you. Too much for warm up. Bailed
	23	★ Whistle Blower	Sport 18m, 11	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Peter	Sun 18th Jan 2015
Ok climbing. Pretty easy climbing with a nails crux. Took me about 15 mins of up and down climbing to figure it out. Hilarious
	27	★★ Full Blown Frenzy - with Matt Springall, Chris, Nathan	Sport 11	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Rob Medlicott	Sat 15th Oct 2016
This is better than i thought it would be. Really funky steepness through the first part, that you need to get right or you will be too tired at the crux. 3 working laps today with best linkage on the last.
	23	★ Whistle Blower	Sport 18m, 11	Blue Mountains		Daniel Fry	Sun 14th Jun 2020
Fairly easy except for the crux section which had me stumped for a long time
	23	★ Whistle Blower - with roxy	Sport 18m, 11	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Steve Cooper	Sat 7th Nov 2020
Really challenging crux, great climbing before and after the crux.
	23	★ Whistle Blower - with roxy	Sport 18m, 11	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Steve Cooper	Sat 7th Nov 2020
Really challenging crux, great climbing before and after the crux. Solid for the grade 😊
	27	★★ Full Blown Frenzy	Sport 11	Blue Mountains		Victor Pillac	Sat 1st May 2021
Cleaning the draws. That loose block is very loose, better to stay off.

A rush of blood to the head? [2]

Dirty, chossy and invisible holds. Lovely

Stellar, a contender for best 24 at the crag

cya bluies sandstone!
	24	★★ Blowtorch (Roof to Wall)	Sport 18m, 10	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Vanessa Wills	Sat 11th Feb 2012
Fun roof to start then lovely technical climbing with some good long moves
	24	★★ Blowtorch	Sport 18m, 10	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Ben Jenga	Thu 2nd Jan 2014
Sweet route, quite unique face climbing that is tricky to read. A fairly long section of moves makes up the crux so just keep moving.
	24	★★ Blowtorch	Sport 18m, 10	Blue Mountains		Mitch Perkins	Sat 25th Jan 2014
	24	★★ Blowtorch - with Jason Lammers, Matt Springall	Sport 18m, 10	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Rob Medlicott	Sat 10th Jan 2015
Great route, blew the onsight by grabbing a hold the wrong way but cruised the crux.
	24	★★ Blowtorch - with Jason Lammers, Matt Springall	Sport 18m, 10	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Rob Medlicott	Sat 10th Jan 2015
Easy this time, good fun!
	24	★★ Blowtorch	Sport 18m, 10	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Jason Lammers	Sat 10th Jan 2015
Felt good first go today, but it all went to shit later in the day when wind stopped and the temps rose. All the moves are fine, but lost my feet mid crux on the RP. Next time !!
	24	★★ Blowtorch - with kimmy and brad	Sport 18m, 10	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Jason Lammers	Sat 17th Jan 2015
Really nice today in primo conditions..
	24	★★ Blowtorch	Sport 18m, 10	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Peter	Sun 18th Jan 2015
2nd Shot. So good! Muffed the insight and went for the wrong hand. Keeps you honest throughout the headwall
	24	★★ Blowtorch - with Jason Lammers	Sport 18m, 10	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	z_swander	Thu 12th Feb 2015
A bit disappointed in myself for not seeing the crux sequence on the headwall. The moves are difficult, but well within my ability. Shouldn't have left it to the 5th tie in, 1 shot before the cyclone arrived.
	24	★★ Blowtorch - with Lewyy	Sport 18m, 10	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	z_swander	Sat 28th Mar 2015
First shot today, second overall, stoked. Bomber rock, and nice bouldering moves between great rests. Thanks for hanging the draws Luigi!
	24	★★ Blowtorch	Sport 18m, 10	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Ben Jenga	Sat 24th Oct 2015
Yep fun fun, think I may have cheated the last move of the top crux by finding a jug?
	24	★★ Blowtorch - with Lillie Wilson	Sport 18m, 10	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Ro-boat	Sun 25th Oct 2015
Really good couple of sections of climbing. So much for the "slopey jugs" - I found quite a few of the holds to be crimpy and sharp.
	24	★★ Blowtorch - with Sammi, jjobrien	Sport 18m, 10	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Lee Cujes	Sun 24th Jan 2016
Ew. This has a pretty hard section on the face huh?

	24	★★ Blowtorch	Sport 18m, 10	Blue Mountains		John Hollott	Sat 27th Feb 2016
One rest. Tricky but doable.
	24	★★ Blowtorch	Sport 18m, 10	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Jason McCarthy	Sun 28th Feb 2016
Really enjoyed this route. Read the crux right and kept moving.
	24	★★ Blowtorch	Sport 18m, 10	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Tim Haasnoot	Sat 19th Mar 2016
Thought provoking climbing.

	24	★★ Blowtorch - with Gene	Sport 18m, 10	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Lachlan	Sat 8th Oct 2016
Had to pull on the draws to get past the 4th and 5th bolt, but a great route
	24	★★ Blowtorch	Sport 18m, 10	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Gus	Mon 26th Dec 2016
a few spider webs on this one, took a bit of route finding at the top but all in all really enjoyable. need to come back now i know where the holds are, one of the crux pockets wasnt visible because it had a little something living in it.
	24	★★ Blowtorch	Sport 18m, 10	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Ryan Tranter	Sun 2nd Apr 2017
Very close on the onsight attempt. Got a bit lost in at the top crux and the pump caught up with me. Damn, shoulda stayed left! It's not too bad once you work out the critical holds...so eager to get back on this !!!
	24	★★ Blowtorch	Sport 18m, 10	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Ryan Tranter	Fri 7th Apr 2017
Got it first go today. The milky bars are on me!!
	24	★★ Blowtorch	Sport 18m, 10	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Henrique de Almeida Mendonça	Sat 1st Apr 2017
	24	★★ Blowtorch	Sport 18m, 10	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Matthew Ashworth	Sun 10th Sep 2017
Fun pumpy start with big moves. Got stuck after the slopey scoop and row of juggy holes. Couldn't find the next hold other than a big lunge for a two finger crimper on sketchy footing. Keen to return and work this out! Great climbing.
	24	★★ Blowtorch	Sport 18m, 10	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Mathew Hutchins-Read	Sun 12th Nov 2017
	24	★★ Blowtorch	Sport 18m, 10	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	John Hollott	Sat 17th Feb 2018
2 nd shot. awesome. Get the sequence right!
	24	★★ Blowtorch	Sport 18m, 10	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Viona Young	Tue 8th May 2018
I got really rattled putting draws on this. Found it really tough. Had a go at seconding it in my rattled state. I think I’d get back if it had draws on but it actually squished my confidence a little. Thought I was climbing ok!
	24	★★ Blowtorch	Sport 18m, 10	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Caroline	Sat 15th Sep 2018
Good fun and varied climbing
	24	★★ Blowtorch	Sport 18m, 10	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Ben Jenga	Sat 26th Jan 2019
Not as hard as I thought It may be.
	24	★★ Blowtorch	Sport 18m, 10	Blue Mountains		Jason	Sat 26th Jan 2019

	24	★★ Blowtorch - with Marty W, Jenny Gao, and Johnattan	Sport 18m, 10	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Jorge	Sun 14th Apr 2019
Putting up the draws, and figuring out where the holds were. Definitely failed the onsight
	24	★★ Blowtorch - with Marty W, Jenny Gao, and Johnattan	Sport 18m, 10	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Jorge	Sun 14th Apr 2019
Worked out the beta for the crux, very nice move! Couldn't make a 3rd attempt.
	24	★★ Blowtorch	Sport 18m, 10	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Jorge	Sun 5th May 2019
Had a fall from the 2nd bolt to the floor. Better do it another day.

	24	★★ Blowtorch - with Vass Issaev	Sport 18m, 10	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Sam Pfeiffer	Sat 21st Mar 2020
Tried to onsight, so much fun until... Oh well, the Crux is very tricky!! Haha
	24	★★ Blowtorch - with Vass Issaev	Sport 18m, 10	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Sam Pfeiffer	Sat 21st Mar 2020
Nope, my beta was not good enough for the crux
	24	★★ Blowtorch - with Vass Issaev	Sport 18m, 10	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Sam Pfeiffer	Sat 21st Mar 2020
My right arm was so pumped it was a rock haha I think I have good beta now for the Crux but it must go some other day. I liked very much the climb
	24	★★ Blowtorch	Sport 18m, 10	Blue Mountains		Meredith Apple	Sun 22nd Mar 2020
Tried to onsight it but counter intuitive move getting out of the second break threw me off. Crux move up high was cool! One shot but will be back

	24	★★ Blowtorch	Sport 18m, 10	Blue Mountains		Phillip Booth	Sat 13th Jun 2020
Awesome balancy face climbing. Onsight attempt. Led astray by the overabundance of chalk and stuffed up the crux sequence.
	24	★★ Blowtorch	Sport 18m, 10	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Phillip Booth	Sat 20th Jun 2020
Awesome face climbing separated by hands free rests.

2nd shot
	24	★★ Blowtorch - with Tim Clarkson	Sport 18m, 10	Blue Mountains		Adrian Kladnig	Mon 15th Feb 2021
Sooo close to flashing it but melted off the committing move at top. Just one more move and I would’ve had it in the bag!

3rd shot ascent! Great climbing, good rest before crux, and beta definitely wins the day! Yeah!
	24	★★ Blowtorch - with Tim Clarkson	Sport 18m, 10	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Adrian Kladnig	Fri 26th Feb 2021
Putting up the draws as I didn't quite manage to stick the lower crux this time
	24	★★ Blowtorch - with Tim Clarkson	Sport 18m, 10	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Adrian Kladnig	Fri 26th Feb 2021
Eazy Peazy on the second shot.

Some of the nicest face climbing around not too bad with the beta keep moving your feet up

Thought provoking crux that demands technique over brute force.

	24	★★ Blowtorch - with Wojjy, Stef	Sport 18m, 10	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Heidixe	Sat 6th Nov 2021
Such a varied route. Interesting "slab", slope'y pinch, then a longer punchy and crimpy sequence.
	24	★★ Blowtorch - with Heidixe	Sport 18m, 10	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Wojjy	Sun 7th Nov 2021
Amazing
