	34	★★★ The Milkbar (The Milkbar P1)	Sport 45m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Mega Classic	Tom O'Halloran	Fri 11th Nov 2016
#FA Milkbar proj pitch 1. Stops at the hands free rest right at the base of the final roof (v11??) boulder. Super amazing excursion through some cracking climbing!

	34	★★★ Hiding Vegetables (Linkup)	Sport 30m	Blue Mountains		Josh Mennell	Fri 9th Dec 2022
TC PRO is one of the best hard rock climbs in the mtns. But if u use the TC just out left, end its first crux, You may aswell just take 8a.

Not an ideal route for fifth day on, but we will overcome! Didn't get super far, felt quite overwhelmed, was a full value experience. Psyched to have opened the account. 2021!

	33	★★★ Tiger Cat - with Lewis, Harry Kadi, lee cossey, Andrea	Sport 25m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Mega Classic	Will Vidler	Sun 18th Oct 2020
Did all the moves and went to the top first go today in a mammoth 1.5 hour dogging bonanza (thanks Lewis for the monster belay!!) Super super super psyched but i think that managing the sequences has just made me realise how properly hard this thing actually is! It’s also the most mega though and i’m psyched to put some effort into it! Gotta get strong. (x2)
	33	★★★ Tiger Cat - with Jett, Josh Mennell	Sport 25m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Mega Classic	Will Vidler	Wed 11th Nov 2020
Pulled on thrice today which was a pb. Linked the first boulder as a whole sequence on my first lap and re-did all the moves to the top, second lap I linked from below the first boulder to the cartoon crux which I tried to climb into but grabbed the draw. Tried new heel hook beta here which was rad, did the move a few times. Third lap tried for more links but was too smoked. Turns out being fifth day on is the money! (x3)

	33	★★★ Tiger Cat - with Luke Hansen	Sport 25m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Mega Classic	Will Vidler	Fri 20th Nov 2020
Trying some new links today. Went from the knee bar to the jump at the end of the first crux twice and from the ground (kind of) into the first crux. Did some refinement on the cartoon crux and the linking sequence too. This route is still the radness. (x3)
	33	★★★ Tiger Cat - with Jack, Liz Chong	Sport 25m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Mega Classic	Will Vidler	Sun 22nd Nov 2020
Headed down after Shipley. Sorted some new foot beta for the start of the Cartoon Crux, made some links, gradually getting better at the heel spins. Rad. (x2)
	33	★★★ Tiger Cat - with Matt	Sport 25m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Mega Classic	Will Vidler	Fri 27th Nov 2020
By far my best effort yet. On my third go I went from the jug at the first bolt (skipping just the first move) all the way to the set up into the cartoon (main) crux but was gassed and couldn’t clip. Rad. Will need to invest in a knee pad probably and also hope for some non-sauna conditions. (x3)
	33	★★★ Tiger Cat - with Jack, Liz Chong	Sport 25m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Mega Classic	Will Vidler	Mon 28th Dec 2020
Nice to jump back on after almost exactly a month away. Grand connies before the storm, I did suck quite a bit though. No skin and sore muscles and maximum fear on the heel spins.
	33	★★★ Pussy Snatch (Linkup) (Pussy Snatch)	Sport	Blue Mountains	★★★ Mega Classic	Tom O'Halloran	Thu 8th Nov 2018
#FA Tiger Snatch to the jump then right to Kitten mIttens drive by then finish as for beta vinyl. its very very good and a fairly straight up line. doesn't feel like a link up.
	33	★★★ Beta Vinyl	Sport 30m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Mega Classic	Tom O'Halloran	Tue 9th Apr 2013
Very cool climb. A rad little boulder into a pumpy finish. Super!
	33	★★★ Sitting Bull	Sport	Blue Mountains	★★★ Mega Classic	Tom O'Halloran	Wed 29th Aug 2012
#FA so psyched to have done this. bolts by rowan, thanks for leaving this gem open. its one of the best routes. techy pumpy and powerful moves take you to the top. the more tricks you can find the easier this becomes

	33	★★★ Tiger Cat	Sport 25m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Mega Classic	Tom O'Halloran	Tue 15th Jan 2013
so so so good. insanely good. a couple of tough boulders down low and epic resistance to the top. living in the mtns is the best. you get to climb at the best cliff in the country after work!!!
	33	★★★ Tiger Cat	Sport 25m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Mega Classic	Ryan Holmes	Wed 3rd Mar 2021
Wooohoooo!!! What an incredible route! I had so much fun trying this. Absolutely all time.

	33	★★★ Tiger Cat - with Jack, Liz Chong, All the strong folk	Sport 25m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Mega Classic	Will Vidler	Sat 25th Sep 2021
Two goes as there were queues on everything else. On the warm up the moves felt the easiest they ever have, but by the time I had my second go humidity had doubled from 35% to 70% and it all felt quite hard. Was brilliant to see Brad's brilliant fight to an awesome send. Strong Brad is reborn as Enduro Brad.
	33	★★★ Sitting Bull - with Jack, Liz Chong	Sport	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Will Vidler	Sun 10th Oct 2021
Had a play as the storm rolled in. Mega classic steep slabbing. Did all the moves up to the Brummel move (which I have done before) except for getting established on the flake, then came down. Wildly good.

Same experience as last time. Good to do some hard moves at the end of the day though.
	33	★★★ Beta Vinyl	Sport 30m	Blue Mountains		Jorge Díaz-Rullo	Mon 26th Sep 2022
One of the best routes that I did in this grade ever! Really amazing line and moves, I love it! In my opinion a really solid 8c+ but this is blue mountains
	33	★★★ Tiger Cat	Sport 25m	Blue Mountains		Jorge Díaz-Rullo	Tue 4th Oct 2022
Waow!!! I will never forgot this fight, almost falling everywhere, specially on the top where the lucky was with me. Thanks Jake for the amazing flash, was perfect for me. I think hard like all routes in Elphy Hard
	33	★★★ Sitting Bull	Sport	Blue Mountains	★★★ Mega Classic	Ryan Holmes	Wed 24th May 2023
Whooop! So good!!! I had the best time trying this over the last 2 years. Yet another piece of incredible climbing at the best cliff around. This felt significantly harder than Tiger Cat to me and took me more than twice as many days. Thanks to all the people who belyed and cheered on this, in particular Will! https://youtu.be/PrUh0DSHfxw

Pretty hard hold at the crux! Couldn't hold it really 😂 need more finger strength for this one! Pure pulling moments

Super fun. Surprise quick send today in good windy conditions. Everything just seemed to come together somehow. First time hiting the crux move from the ground - psyched not to fall off on hairline given my current lack of long route fitness. Super fun! 2nd day this year + a few days in previous years.
	32	★★★ Mr Line (link-up) - with Liz Chong, Lewis, Harry Kadi, Kat, Jet, Strong Brad, j rock	Sport 18m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Will Vidler	Sun 27th Sep 2020
Well I did the moves on my first go, so I suppose I should try and do it then? Thanks Kat for Matt’s beta! (x3)
	32	★★★ Mr Line (link-up) - with Liz Chong, Jett, Dad, etc	Sport 18m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Will Vidler	Sun 11th Oct 2020
Some really good links today, all sequences done, went through the main crux and into the Hairline Crux. Good scenes. Starting to feel like jugs.
	32	★★★ Mr Line (link-up) - with Paul Frothy Thomson	Sport 18m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Will Vidler	Wed 18th Nov 2020
Made some good new links today. Went from the jug through the first crux and fell off the pocket and then did the same but fell tickling the slot. Rad. Best connies out at DF all year?! (x3)

#FA WOW this is the best! first route I have bolted which I have done the FA of! what a rad adventure. very fun climbing from start to finish with some truly radical moves to get yourself around the lip. get on it!! GAY PARIS WALL IS OPEN!
	32	★★★ Mr Line (link-up) - with Jett, Luke Hansen, j rock, Matt, Brad	Sport 18m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Will Vidler	Wed 3rd Mar 2021
Reacquainting. Maybe this year if I'm lucky. (x3)
	32	★★★ Bandula - with , Will Monks	Sport 30m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Mega Classic	Ryan Holmes	Thu 29th Apr 2021
Epic line! Mono was easier for me at the crux. Less sustained than Tiger Cat but plenty of fun moves (especially the bottom wall!)

Just the one go. Can still do the moves. I guess I've done it in 3 overlapping sections or something.
	32	★★★ Mr Line (link-up) - with Liz Chong, Swena	Sport 18m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Will Vidler	Thu 7th Oct 2021
Two goes. I think my beta is what it needs to be and I'll probably just keep trying it intermittently until one day I do it. Swena almost sent right at the end of the day like an absolute weapon!!
	32	★★★ Mr Line (link-up) - with Elliot Vercoe, Harry Kadi, Jayden	Sport 18m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Will Vidler	Wed 26th Jan 2022
Two goes and one half aid draw retrieval mission. A footer I use down low is gone which is sad but otherwise the same as normal; sequences are fine but linkage is hard. Oh well.

Gave it a good go but a few of the moves still trouble me. need some good beta.
	31	★★★ Some Kind of Bliss	Sport 20m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Mega Classic	Matt Brooks	2010
Ons sit on several occassions but need to spend a few days on it. The crux is still low percentage!
	31	★★★ Mr Carpet Burn - with Ben Jenga	Sport 18m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Geoff Johnston-Hall	Sat 5th Mar 2016
Dogged two laps trying to work out the sequence. Hard moves then the crux. real enjoyable to the top.
