Katoomba Area Narrow Neck Diamond Falls Mr Wall
	28	★★★ Hairline 2000 - with Cathy W	Sport 18m		james
hard crux, if I even made it to the crux. This one feels a little further away. Ripped open my finger mis-throwing the right hand and called it a day.

	27	★★ Force Cannon - with Victor Rodriguez, Josh, james, Stephanie Levesque, Kieran Norwood	Sport 25m, 15		Will Gregson
Cool climbing, maybe slightly easier if you're my height? Didn't go to the top because it didn't have draws on the head wall and I didn't bring any. Next time

Enjoyed working the moves on this one. Figured out all the moves except for the rooflet near the top. Skin ran out, will have to try again another time!

Katoomba Area Ngula Bulgarabang/ Radiata Plateau The Pit Sector 'Pit Fighter'
	28	★★★ Pit Fighter	Trad 30m	★★★ Classic	Jacques Beaudoin
Had great aspiration of flashing this but got shut down just looking at Brendan struggling at the crux. Did boulder problem ok, lost lot of energy trying the crux with the advertised beta LH thumb down and worked out my own way with RH pinkie lock second try. The ensuing moments through the remaining parts of the crux will remained etched in my memory. Then I got totally puzzled by the other crux above, I was very far from reaching the crack above the flat hold, I had to aid this move I have no idea how to get through this one. The rest was easy.

Katoomba Area Ngula Bulgarabang/ Radiata Plateau Marchant's Canyon Crags Uplander
	25	★★ Happy Ending	Sport 17m, 8		Macciza a.k.a. Macca
Rope solo to suss out the gear for the proper trad ascent... similarly to the other route here I'd pegged this as a trad route the first time I saw it, although there were some definite vegetation issues that would have needed sorting... Given that the major crag developer had walked past it for over 2 years and figured it was trad, or an unnecessary sport route (with vegetation issues) I unfortunately figured it would be 'safe' for a little while, given the overarching Blue Mountains ethics of "Don't Bolt Cracks! or potential trad lines" and "Don't Remove Vegetation!". Fail to see why the rung is at all necessary, for a 'sport belay' a U would have sufficed, and as to it protecting from wet shoes(?) if the 'bottom of the route is running with water'...!?, well maybe one should simply deal with it being wet or wait until it is in better condition... As it is currently, it sets a pretty poor example... Seems to have adequate gear for the length of the corner crack, and beyond, so will certainly be continuing to try it as trad route... Had to leave a small wire that was hard to get on the way back down ... and a first stick-clipped wire and liner to lower off... Please leave them alone...
	25	★★ Montosaurus	Mixed trad 20m, 4		Macciza a.k.a. Macca
Rope solo of the initial steep section to suss out the gear... As expected, from the first viewing of this route before it got bolted, there is heaps with various options... Can place a whole rack of Totems (plus a bomber #3) so I cannot see why this should have ever been bolted ...

	27	★★★ Mono No Aware - with Matt Springall	Sport 25m	★★★ Classic	Rob Medlicott
Did both the first little crux and the actual crux for the first time today. Pretty happy with that! Although, i then ran into some very reachy moves on the vertical section that i will have to come back for. Seems solid at the grade for me.

Got the sequences dialed to crux. But got tired of falling off the crux so many times. Made it through the crux once but forgot to clip and was unable to work the upper half. Will come back stronger... i hope.

	15 M5 15 M5	Tia Maria - with Zac	Trad 41m		Macciza a.k.a. Macca
Great to get some quick progress on this one. 2nd day, 2nd shot and I got through the crux moves and made it to the rest below the upper corner. Tried giving it a shot but was shut down by lack of gear and damp spoogy holds. Top could well be the crux both mentally and physically. Might be getting back in shape and form ....
