Cruxy at the start, then eases to nice, steep pumpiness

	22	★★ Saccharine Nightmare - with Dave	Sport 100m	Blue Mountains		Vanessa Wills	Mon 15th Apr 2013
Led P1 and 2. Nice varied climbing and thoughfully bolted. The finishing pitches are also quite fun. Would be classic if the black slab wasnt in the middle- though its kept interesting by the run out.

p3-4 only, after climbing Sweet Dreams through the traverse pitch. p3 (17) is great steep climbing on tons of horizontal jugs. Lots of fun!

	22	★ The Draw Thief	Sport 20m, 11	Blue Mountains	Average	Paul Frothy Thomson	Thu 21st Nov 2013
A few hardish moves, then sustained pump to the top. A bit contrived, and bad rock. Probably the worst of the bolted routes on this wall.

Thanks for making me lead this Paul! Apart from the fear of not leading in a long time, I genuinely enjoyed this route! Consistently sustained the whole way, there's one obvious crux sequence but has a good rest following it. Spent at least 10 minutes at the no hander below the anchors. Rope got stuck on a horn as I was rethreading and retying, Paul had to climb up the rope (via another rope with Dana belaying) in order to free it.
	22	★ Stereo	Sport 20m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Tim Haasnoot	Sat 5th Apr 2014
Tough little move in the middle.
	22	★★ La Niña	Sport 25m, 10	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Rob Medlicott	Sun 1st Jun 2014
This was a cool route. I'm not usually a big fan of traversing but this was nice. Some goey moves in there and then a nice finish
	22	★★ Thai Virus	Sport 25m, 10	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Rob Medlicott	Wed 25th Jun 2014
Bit warmer now and managed it ok. The crux didn't seem much harder than the 20...
	22	★ Cloudheat	Sport 12m, 5	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Paul Frothy Thomson	Sat 16th Aug 2014
Short and pumpy. Some nice moves on interesting rock. Makes a good warmup.

The 1st and 3rd pitches are awesome.
	22	★ Stereo	Sport 20m	Blue Mountains	★ Good	z_swander	Mon 6th Oct 2014
Probably my least favorite of the 22s, and a bit desperate at one point.

Warm up
	22	★★ La Niña	Sport 25m, 10	Blue Mountains		David O'Donnell	Tue 7th Oct 2014
Why not just make "a nice day for a disco" the start for this route?? Instead of going around the hard climbing?

Felt like a 20... really good climbing. And sustained!, at 20...

One definite hard move over the lip.
	22	★★ La Niña	Sport 25m, 10	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Phillip Booth	Sat 28th Nov 2015
Great relatively sustained climbing with nice exposure traversing along the roof lip with your feet. Definitely extend draws at the turn. You can also unclip one once you get the next above to help reduce that drag.

Under 2 hours car-to-car (including going exploring on the descent to look at prospective routes). I led all pitches, linking P1 & P2 (for a 60m megapitch), and P3 & P4. A great multipitch adventure, with consistantly rad steep face climbing. If this Isn't your limit, I'd totally recommend linking the 1st two pitches (using a handful of long runners) as there is very little rope drag, and the climbing is continuously fun. The easier top pitches are thoroughly worthwhile at the grade.

	22	★★ Saccharine Nightmare	Sport 100m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Adam	Sun 29th Jan 2017
Super cool climb! I thought the grades were generous (or I was feeling strong). Two hardish sections on P1 and one on P2, but overall really good climbing on solid rock. The rest is very pleasant and easy jug haul. Great exposure! (No loose rocks anywhere anymore) Loved it!
	22	★★ La Niña	Sport 25m, 10	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Jason McCarthy	Sun 26th Feb 2017

Thrashing start, easy to over lip, cruxed onto slightly sloping and pulled up over it. Fun!

Really good climbing, marred by a heinous crux. Must have done it incorrectly, it was savage. Cool rock though.
	22	★★ Thai Virus - with Zoe	Sport 25m, 10	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Jack	Mon 5th Mar 2018
A decent route with short bursts followed by ample rests. Grippy rock makes staying on the wall a breeze.
	22	★ Stereo - with Zoe	Sport 20m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Jack	Mon 5th Mar 2018
Nice and vertical, easy holds with a few smaller crimps at the crux. Fun climbing!

A good warm up and probably fairly easy at the grade.

I led pitch 1 and 3. Very difficult 22, felt like 23 but prob because not warmed up and carrying my pack. Awesome and varied moves. Would get a 3 star classic rating if the difficulty of pitches was flipped to give a nice warm up. The 2nd and 3rd pitches also felt solid for the grade.

P2 was intense..! No chalk on anything - super happy with this onsight! 70m rope got us back down from top of P3 to top of P1. Can swing a little to the right to the ledge where there are another set of anchors bit higher up. Then to ground

Awesome to sneak out for a super early morning multi; we were home by 10. Hilariously arctic conditions though, it's not often that i climb in a thermal, flanny, polar fleece and down jacket! Really great route that follows a nice line on good rock and that third pitch is still awesome and still nails, possibly the best bit of easy bolted climbing in the mountains! Love your work Neil.
