Nice enough, worth doing!
	21	★★ Geezer Pleaser	Sport 30m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Paul Frothy Thomson	Sat 18th Jan 2014
Harder, more sustained, and much better than I expected. Surprisingly good thin climbing with some tricky steepish sections. This climbs really well and in a great position.

The starts a bit contrived, but fun and then quite interesting to the top
	21	★★ Geezer Pleaser	Sport 30m	Blue Mountains	Average	Rhys Phillips	Tue 16th Dec 2014
Went straight through the undercut at the start for some extra bouldery fun. It gets interesting in the middle there...

Awesome arete. Requires gear. Not simply "sport carrots" as in 2010 guide. With RIck.

A good "wake me up" climb!
	19	★★ Black Bart	Mixed trad 25m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Paul Frothy Thomson	Thu 3rd Mar 2011
03 March 2011. Onsight in the rain. Quite a few challenging moves, guarded by a tough start. Bring some cams to protect the moves to get established on the arete.
	19	★★ Black Bart	Mixed trad 25m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Tim Haasnoot	Wed 9th Oct 2013
Don't forget a cam now the second bolt has been chopped! Otherwise a great line.

	19	★★ Black Bart - with Spitz	Mixed trad 25m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Rhys Phillips	Wed 27th Nov 2013
got to second bolt and realised it had been chopped. after deciding it would be easier to keep going, i slung something in the slot that would never have held and kept going. good stuff
	19	★★ Black Bart - with Paul	Mixed trad 25m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Matt Short	Sun 14th Dec 2014
Great climbing up the arete. I slung something due to the lack of second bolt which seemed ok, it at least gave me enough confidence to carry on.
	19	★★ Black Bart	Mixed trad 25m, 7	Blue Mountains	Average	John Drake	Sat 3rd Oct 2015
Quite average for a "three-star' route.
	19	★★ Black Bart	Mixed trad 25m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Adam	Tue 6th Oct 2015
Simply beautiful climbing! (didn't know about missing bolt. My partner had to toss the cam up to me...)
	19	★ Sadhu Rum	Sport 30m	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Adam	Tue 6th Oct 2015
Pretty hard at the start, easy higher up.
	19	★★ Black Bart	Mixed trad 25m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Ro-boat	Wed 17th Feb 2016
I liked it. Good continuous climbing that isnt a really over until its over. That said the first carrot is rather committing and I would definitely stick clip it.

	19	★★ Black Bart - with Vicky Chen	Mixed trad 25m, 7	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Eamonn	Sat 21st Jan 2017
Took a full rack, thinking it was going to be mixed (from the guidebook), but a #0.75 is enough to protect it. Hard and very committing start but there is a good (slightly hidden) jug to clip from, but a bit of balance is needed. Pretty easy after that with a couple of nice sequences on the arete.

nice arete and face climbing!
	19	★★ Black Bart	Mixed trad 25m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Geoff Cooper	Sun 27th Oct 2019
Perfect at the grade. Just enough spice on crimps. Used a #1 and #0.75 cam above the first bolt. Need to take a few bolts plates also
	19	★★ Black Bart - with Justin Robinson	Mixed trad 25m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Knox Low	Sun 1st Dec 2019
Good climbing but didn't know about the chopped bolt until I got there. Was able to protect with a #1 red camalot. Definitely need the cam otherwise there is groundfall potential. Half the bolts are carrots and half are fixed plates - not sure what has been going on here?

This was memorable as doing the top section the rain started to freeze and turned to sleet which was tapping on my helmet as I neared the anchors. Interesting day in the blueys!

	19	★★ Black Bart - with Zi Hui Lie	Mixed trad 25m, 7	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Patrick Sparks	Sun 17th Oct 2021
First climb of the day. Wasn't really warmed up physically or mentally so this one was pretty tough and not super fun. Didn't help that we swapped the lead at the last second and I forgot to get some bolt plates, used nuts instead.

Stay close to the wall and don't be overconfident. Fun and solid route
	19	★★ Black Bart - with Greer Knight, Mike Ashelford, Rebecca Mabbott, Geoff Tosio	Mixed trad 25m, 7	Blue Mountains		Match	Mon 15th Aug 2022
One of the best 19s in the mtns just great face/vague arete climbing the whole way. The only downside is that the low off works for sport climbing folk however it could be improved.
	19 Hard	★★ Black Bart - with Susan	Mixed trad 25m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★★ Mega Classic	Sjom	Sat 15th Apr 2023
Make sure to bring that cam. A bold lead if 19 is your grade. Anchor set back from ledge. bring slings if you want to set up a top rope. Stick slip that first bolt. Great climb though.

	17	★★ Bumflute	Mixed trad 30m, 7	Blue Mountains	Average	Geoff Cooper	Fri 15th Apr 2022
A cam or two above the first bolt, then another one later on would help reduce the runout. Bring a few bolt plates. Not the nicest route around
	17	★★ Bumflute - with Ally	Mixed trad 30m, 7	Blue Mountains		Jeh C	Sun 31st Mar 2024
Great boulder problem off the deck, but more in line with the grade for Blackbart. After the second draw it's classy grade 17 climbing.

Interesting climbing.
	16	★ Stuffed - with DJ	Trad 66m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Mega Classic	Match	Sun 12th Aug 2018
This climb essentially reversing a canyon and it is great! tough first pitch through the rock (tough for the grade. be careful not to deck. Great under cling hand jams. Then into the bowels of the cliff through squeeze tests and decapitator rock finished up at the anchors of just for fun. 27 stars, a must do if you want a very different day of climbing.

P1: spicy start, especially for the first climb of the day! Passed tatt/thread on P1 and continued up the outside of the chimney, avoiding hollow plates and eventually moving on to the R face and rigging a hanging belay in a break above a couple of hangers. In retrospect I should have just kept going up the carrots and completely linked P1 & P2, but I was worried about running out of mid-large gear. P2: up a chunky flake with a 4 or so carrots on it, to shared ledge with more carrots and shackles. Presumably this was 'Sadhu Rum'? P3: up carrots with some fun steep moves (avoiding choss) to start, followed by easy corner to small rings. We rapped from the top rings on 60m doubles, with plenty of rope to spare.
