Le Souef Plateau Kokomo Outcrop
	18	Le Souef's Up - with Peter Melouney	Mixed trad 15m, 3		Chris Bailie
Nice climbing and now well-protected. Too roasted at the end of a long day to keep it together through the crux.

Le Souef Plateau The Sentinel
	20	★★ The Northwest Face of the Sentinel	Trad 12m	★★★ Classic	Lightfoot
Such an absorbing climb. A time machine climb that feels much longer than its meters. New anchors on top to lower off.

	17	★ The Gentle Art Of Lyre-Bird Mugging	Trad 23m		Lightfoot
Planned on an end of day cruise, ended up being a little spicy. Save a #1 or # 2 totem or equiv for top of crack before stepping to face. Great climb with a good variety of techniques.

	19	Unnamed 1 - with Ben North, Ian Breese	Unknown 25m	Average	Sam North
Thrutchy start to the arete using the off-width. It might be better as a bridging exercise to the second bolt, but I couldn't get out there to do it.
	17	★ The Gentle Art Of Lyre-Bird Mugging - with Ben North, Ian Breese	Trad 23m	★★ Very Good	Sam North
The first time I led this there was no bolt on the top headwall and it was a real "Buffalo" experience. Now much easier on the head with the added bolt.
	14	★ Rising Fast (Bangla's Sport Route) - with Ben North, Ian Breese	Sport 20m	★★ Very Good	Sam North
Very nice. It is a long long time since I first did this route and it appears to have gotten better.
	13	★ Tears Begin To Fall - with Ben North, Ian Breese	Trad 12m	★ Good	Sam North
A good lead by Ben

Le Souef Plateau The Sentinel
	21 20	★★ The Northwest Face of the Sentinel - with Dean Bailey	Trad 12m	★ Good	Poppy
Bloody tough. Kept coming off trying to pull onto the climb so will give it the red point. Said I'd give it one last attempt as we watched dark clouds and thunder approach and managed to stick it. Commited then and had to compose myself as I kept fighting to the top while it began to slowly rain, then pelt down just near the top. Full lightning strikes around as I summited so I turfed all my gear straight down the rope. Used Dean as a body anchor on the other side to rapidly clean the route as the sky opened up hail the size of cool mints. Can't get much more epic than that!

	21	★★ Silver Girl - with Harrie Van de Linde	Mixed trad 18m, 3	★★ Very Good	Dylan Glavas
Well worth the 2 stars. Climbed on pre-placed gear which probably made getting into the crack easier

Fun route

You can’t win them all unfortunately, and the sharp granite crimps beat me today.

Over pretty quickly but fun.
	20	★★ Butterflies Are Doodle - with Scott	Mixed trad 25m, 3	★ Good	Marthijs Heuperman
Ballsy lead - thin start with hard gear placements and then constant grade until the end.
	16	★★ Corner And Crack - with Scott	Trad 25m	★ Good	Marthijs Heuperman
Bit of a kick at the end. Otherwise constant grade. Good clean crack climbing.
	21	★★ Silver Girl - with Scott	Mixed trad 18m, 3	★★ Very Good	Marthijs Heuperman
Tricky first bolt clip unless you are tall! Get your head sorted before you make the moves past the 3rd bolt.

	13	★ Tears Begin To Fall - with David Carlin	Trad 12m	★ Good	Jo Vanselow
Stemmable the whole way up which is fun. It was quite short though, but I found it fun for a 13. True to that grade.
	12	Phoenix - with David Carlin	Trad 12m	Average	Jo Vanselow
The boulder problem start seems to be well above the grade (unless you are tall), and if you can't crack climb/jam it's also much harder than most people would expect from a grade 12! still we keep talking about it. My hands are torn up from fist jams and side pulling in the sharp granite.

	16	★★ Corner And Crack	Trad 25m	★ Good	Keith Davison
some proper jamming needed for a couple moves at the top for the steep section. would be way better with some rap rings. the ones over on surfer girl are a bit hectic to get to
	21	★★ Silver Girl	Mixed trad 18m, 3	★ Good	Vanessa Wills
Mostly positive holds
	16	★★ Corner And Crack	Trad 25m	★ Good	Vanessa Wills
Felt easier than the corner due to nice size jambs
	15	The Crack Corner	Trad 25m	Average	Vanessa Wills
Felt quite thrutch, especially the exit
	22	★ Susan's Slab	Unknown 18m	★ Good	Vanessa Wills
Would feel really sketchy to me on lead, getting used to the amazing friction again
	20	★★ Butterflies Are Doodle	Mixed trad 25m, 3	★ Good	Vanessa Wills

	21	★★ Silver Girl - with Markus	Mixed trad 18m, 3	★★ Very Good	Heather Pagram
Slipped getting to the first bolt and fell onto my butt on the ledge and then down between some boulders (ie gear available but quite an awkward/ painful fall if you come off here). The rest was well protected and fun (on top rope this time!)
