	24	★★ Melancholic - with Paul Frothy Thomson	Sport 16m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Will Vidler	Tue 26th Dec 2017
Had a bit of a play on this believing it to be the Ethics Police but never before have i had to deadpoint to a non-hold sloper off of two one pad two finger pockets on a 22, nor have i had to do a full cut loose dyno! Super rad though, if a bit gritty and snappy.
	23	★★ Vascularity - with Paul Frothy Thomson	Sport 14m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Will Vidler	Tue 26th Dec 2017
Awesome route and feature. First climb since axing myself the other day and although my head felt all over the place i seemed to climb it solidly and cruised through to the anchors.
	22	★ Tramontane - with Paul Frothy Thomson	Sport 10m	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Will Vidler	Tue 26th Dec 2017
Quite a few very hard and punchy moves but then its all over. Just pull hard and then pull a bit harder
	22	★ Dreamin' Head-Jams - with Paul Frothy Thomson	Sport 10m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Will Vidler	Tue 26th Dec 2017
Had an absolute ball on this. How completely ridiculous. Never before have i been so terrified despite having clipped so many bolts. Took two shots and even then i was battling for sure.
	28	★★★ The Great Divide (The Great Divide Project) - with Jacques Beaudoin	Trad 15m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Will Vidler	Fri 15th Mar 2019
Absolutely wild. Climbed about a third of it in an epic dog session and did most of those moves. From where we got to, the rest of the crack needs a pretty good clean to de-crozzle and remove a chunk of choss but after that it will be good to go. Possibly the hardest route I've ever tried. Go get on it people!!
	28	★★ The Bell's Line - with lee cossey, Ben Sanford, kamil	Trad 60m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Will Vidler	Tue 16th Jun 2020
Just the 23 bit to the stance with one fall working it out. Outstanding line and climbing but the rock is a bit crunchy. Psyched to come back for the business at some point.
	23	★★★ Disbelief — 3 attempts - with Matthew Robbins	Trad 15m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	WallWalkerWilson	Fri 29th Mar 2024
Brilliant, so satisfying to get off a climb absolutely exhausted. Even managed to squeek out a few Matthew Robbins inspired power screams. Would love to get back out there for a crack at Beyond!

	24	★★★ Supercrack - with Paul Frothy Thomson	Trad 65m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Mega Classic	Stephen Winnacott	Sat 8th Jul 2017
Skipped P1 by walking to base of P2, onsighted P2, belayed Paul on his onsight of P3 crux pitch, then he lowered off and I flashed it on his gear, was either that or clean it on second but I'm stoked to get it clean even if the gear was pre-placed.
	23	★★★ Sacred Ground - with Paul Frothy Thomson	Trad 63m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Mega Classic	Stephen Winnacott	Sat 29th Jul 2017
Epic route. Ended up doing 3 laps all up, as did Paul, linking it all bottom to top clean on the 3rd push. I pink point the 1 & 2 pitch after a lap working out the beta, then Paul got the red point and I followed it up clean on my 3rd lap, then continued on to onsight the final pitch, parched and glycogen depleted. Good solid day out.

	23	★★ Vascularity	Sport 14m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Sam May	Thu 29th Oct 2020
I try to hold my star ratings close to my chest but I must call this a classic. I'm glad we made the trip. A special, powerful location that left me a bit speechless when we finally found it in the rain and rolling thunder.
	22	★ Tramontane	Sport 10m	Blue Mountains	Average	Sam May	Thu 29th Oct 2020
A hard one, more difficult than Vascularity I felt (most comments here agree), and a bit all over the place, though there's a couple cool moves at the start. Bring a very long draw or sling for the bolt above the first mantleshelf.

	22	★ Tramontane	Sport 10m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Rob Medlicott	Sun 7th Jun 2020
2 shots. Harder moves than the 23...
	23	★★ Vascularity - with che	Sport 14m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Ro-boat	Tue 6th Dec 2016
Probably the easiest climb at the cliff - quite a cool feature as well.
	22	★ Tramontane - with che	Sport 10m	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Ro-boat	Tue 6th Dec 2016
You need to try quite hard to make any upwards progress on this one. Lots of moves that should be easy - but suddenly quite hard when you actually try to do them. Quite enjoyable in a short bouldery sense. The anchor clips were stupidly hard to get on. Haven't punted a chain clip in a long time...
	24	★★ Flatulence - with che	Sport 15m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Ro-boat	Tue 6th Dec 2016
Ridiculously cruxy - but in a cool way. The end jug haul is fun - and could potentially be extended all the way out the roof which would be bloody awesome. Would be very "Eye of the Tiger" esk if possible.
	22	★ Dreamin' Head-Jams - with che	Sport 10m	Blue Mountains	Average	Ro-boat	Tue 6th Dec 2016
The first route of a very high gravity day. More than a bit thrutchy and awkward with just enough spooge thrown in to make it unpleasant as well.

	23	★★ Vascularity	Sport 14m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Paul Frothy Thomson	Sat 26th May 2012
4 shots today... I have this climb as dialed as a climb can possibly be, but for whatever reason just couldn't link the only hard move into the rest of the climb. Probably would have gone if I'd given it another shot or 2, but I didn't want to have come all this way to just do 1 climb. Next time, gadget. Brilliant climbing, unlike anything in the Blue Mountains, and about right at the grade. Worth a trip to Rain Cave for this alone.
	22	★ Dreamin' Head-Jams	Sport 10m	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Paul Frothy Thomson	Sat 26th May 2012
Weird, but really good. Hard to grade, because as far as offwidth-thrutchy climbing goes it's not too bad, but for a sports climb it's mind-boggling. Pretty psyched to flash it though.
	22	★ Numerical Fever	Sport 14m	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Paul Frothy Thomson	Sat 26th May 2012
2nd shot. Hard-to-read crux sequence, and a spicy finish. Nothing like launching onto a semi-jug one handed, while both feet are bicycling in the air, above the bolt. Fun.
	22	★ Tramontane	Sport 10m	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Paul Frothy Thomson	Sat 26th May 2012
Lap at the end of the day to get the draws back for my friends. Wasn't even trying for the tick. Sequency, thin start, cruxy mantle-thing, then steep jug-hauling finish. Probably not harder than 22, but quite a few moves at the grade. Should go easily next time I'm back out here.
	23	★★ Vascularity	Sport 14m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Paul Frothy Thomson	Mon 28th Jan 2013
Ticked 2nd Shot today, 7th shot overall over about 2 years. FINALLY! Amazingly weird climbing, with some interesting technical moves to a cruxy move, to a pumpy finale, all following a bizarre iron-stone seam protruding from the wall and running right up to the roof of the cave.
	22	★ Tramontane	Sport 10m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Paul Frothy Thomson	Mon 28th Jan 2013
Ticked 2nd Shot today, 5th or 6th shot overall over about 2 years. Still tough, but worth it. As per my description below, this climb doesn't let up until the anchors, but is probably the most straightforward climb here (except for perhaps the desparate mantle). I really enjoyed it.
	24	★★ The Saint Andrews Cross	Sport 16m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Paul Frothy Thomson	Mon 28th Jan 2013
2 shots today. On 2nd shot I HAD it... and I lost it. Passed all the hard moves, 2 bolts from the end, and in my desparation I missed the crucial footer and lost my cool trying to sort it out... SO CLOSE! Brilliant line. Bouldery start, to a funky bouldery move to gain the crack proper, than laybacking, jamming, and general funkiness (with added terror) all the long way to the anchors. Genuinely awesome. Now I have to come back to Rain Cave for this one!
	24	★★★ Supercrack - with Stephen Winnacott	Trad 65m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Paul Frothy Thomson	Sat 8th Jul 2017
Psyched for the onsight! A burly, perfect #2 cam roof-crack, that overhangs about 9m. Juggy jams, bomber rock, oodles of gear. Super streno with outrageous moves. Kinda intimidating, but not too hard at the grade. We skipped P1 (you can walk around it), P2 - Clean 2nd - intimidating without big gear, awesome steep stemming/chimneying; P3 - Onsight!
	24	★★★ Supercrack	Trad 65m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Paul Frothy Thomson	Sat 8th Jul 2017
Repeat. Another lap clean on lead to get up the route so I could backjump to clean the gear. Hands starting to hurt now.
	23	★★★ Sacred Ground - with Stephen Winnacott	Trad 63m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Paul Frothy Thomson	Sat 29th Jul 2017
P1 - Onsight (low angle slab following an incipient seam with lots of wires, but not so good rock); P2 (Linked with P1) - Pink Point (2nd shot - Gnarly steep crack that overhangs 8m to the pea pod. The crux section is devious and intimidating and super old-school. I had a loooong onsight attempt with probably 20min in the crux steepness before bungling it (the credit goes to Steve for unlocking the beta, after I whipped and came down). The send (with gear in situ) was solid and fun); P3 - 2nd Clean (17ish? Mixed rock quality but fun and continuous wide climbing).
	23	★★★ Sacred Ground - with Stephen Winnacott	Trad 63m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Paul Frothy Thomson	Sat 29th Jul 2017
Yep... another same day lap to do it in good style, placing all gear on lead. Rad!
	24	★★ The Saint Andrews Cross	Sport 16m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Paul Frothy Thomson	Tue 26th Dec 2017
2nd ahot. Bungled a move at the 2nd last bolt tackling this as a warmup today. Cruised it 2nd shot. Great pumpy, traddy climbing, though rather sharp.
	24	★★ Flatulence	Sport 15m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Paul Frothy Thomson	Tue 26th Dec 2017
3rd shot. On both my onsight and 2nd shot I blew the main crux boulder just below gaining the roof traverse. I enjoyed the moves up to the roof immensely (though only briefly tough), but the traverse is just sharp and chossy and doesnt add difficulty. As Ro said, this COULD be extended to the lip of the roof for another grade or two, which would also then justify the current part of the traverse.
	24	★★ Melancholic	Sport 16m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Paul Frothy Thomson	Tue 26th Dec 2017
2nd shot. Didnt lock in the crux dyno on the flash. A punchy first half (22) and a gnarly 2nd half with a crazy dyno off rather tiny holds, and a tough pocketed finish. Crumbly rock, but brilliant powerful climbing.
	23	★★ Vascularity	Sport 14m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Paul Frothy Thomson	Mon 8th Jun 2020
Clean repeat. A great warmup, and a bloody great route. Never gets old
	21	★★ Unknown - with Heath Black	Sport 20m, 5	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Paul Frothy Thomson	Mon 8th Jun 2020
Increases in difficulty, following some cool features until they run out, then gets very thin (and also runout). Rock is a mixed bag, but it climbs well.
	24	★★ Butterflies and Hurricanes - with Heath Black 1 18 30m lead by Paul Frothy Thomson 2 24 35m lead by Paul Frothy Thomson	Sport 65m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Paul Frothy Thomson	Mon 8th Jun 2020
Tried to climb this as a 70m pitch from the ground. Despite hideous rope drag, I finally fell off on the last hard move of the route. A rather ambitious effort considering its "untrafficked" nature. Dragged Monty up to the belay, and we both sent the top pitch in a more rational style. Quite good rock and climbing (especially on the second pitch), and brilliant exposure at the grade. Take a 0.4 cam for the top!
	26	★★ Insert Name Here - with Heath Black	Sport 60m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Paul Frothy Thomson	Mon 8th Jun 2020
Wow, monstrously huge and steep! Bailed 2/3rds of the way up when we realised we were running out of daylight, and were approaching "rope shenanigans" due the route length. Despite it being quite a mission to ground-up (especially as its so runout -there are 4 bolts in the first 20m!- and very traverse-y), I had a lot of fun on this, and am intrigued to return. I suspect its actually gr27.
	28	★★★ The Great Divide (The Great Divide Project) - with Jacques Beaudoin	Trad 15m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Paul Frothy Thomson	Sun 26th Dec 2021
2 x laps. The First was a long ordeal, trying to properly suss viable moves/sequences/gear/clipping. The second was to confirm what I learned from the previous lap. Thought I had it all figured out (though it would need a lot of effort still to send!) but on my 2nd lap there was a single move I couldn't repeat. Tired? Or just too hard? Who knows. IT was rad tackling this knowing I'd need new beta -being the first of my physiology to undertake the challenge. My beta encompassed mono-fingerlocks, and 2-finger stacks through dead-horizontal roof. Painful as hell, but megar megar. Thanks heaps for letting me have a play, Jacques!
	24	★★ Everyman and his Dog - with Match	Trad 60m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Paul Frothy Thomson	Sat 27th Aug 2022
Was pretty chuffed to punch this out as a warmup, with the route unchalked. The money pitch is short, and the rock is variable (though mostly quite good) but it's very sustained and insecure, and an excellent technical crack-climbing test-piece. In a few moments of desperation, I began using face-holds that would be called bad footers any other day of the week... I'm sure there's better beta
	25	FA ★★★ Raid - with Match	Trad 55m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Paul Frothy Thomson	Sat 27th Aug 2022
FFA. Mega mega mega! Originally attempted ground-up (after climbing Everyman and his Dog) resulting in a few big falls, and much fear, I later sent this third shot on pre-placed gear, and 4th shot placing all gear on lead. On the FFA, I linked P1 into P2. This is the sort of modern-style trad climbing that I've really come to enjoy, where the incipient crack takes gear, but much of the climbing is done gymnastically on face holds, resulting in some exciting exposure as you move away from the gear. The upper crux is very sporty. Proper stoked with this find.
	23 ~23	★★★ Disbelief - with Simmo, Rene Provis, Jacques Beaudoin	Trad 15m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Paul Frothy Thomson	Sat 24th Dec 2022
A great warmup if you like steep jamming. More involved climbing than you'd expect from the ground. Great rock, and kinda intimidating. It felt about gr23 for the Onsight to me, sans jammies or tape -the crux was too wide for me to jam, and too tight to fist properly- so maybe 22 for the redpoint or with jammies? I used 0.5, 0.75, 2 x 2, 2 x 3.
	28	★★★ Beyond Belief — 2 attempts - with Simmo, Rene Provis, Jacques Beaudoin	Trad 40m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Paul Frothy Thomson	Sat 24th Dec 2022
2 Attempts. On my 2nd I managed to get to the last 5m body-squeeze/offwidth section with a single rest, but never really managed to work out the last few metres. To me, with my physiology, it seemed like I was going to need to invert? But lacking more big gear, I was too intimidated to commit properly to it. I'll have to come back with bigger gear, and maybe a few more skills. The rock is a mixed bag, but it's outweighed by the wildness of the climbing, which is varied, brutish, and intimidating. I used 7 x #4, 2 x #5 and 1 x #6 for the roof part of the crack. I could probably have done with another #6 at least, and perhaps something bigger (purely for the purpose of working the last part of the roof).
