	13	★ Trinity	Sport 18m, 5	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Fri 26th Nov 2004
good fun in that heat, a nice change from sydney (where the whole climb would have been overa few metres before the first bolt here). i copped a bleeder on the sternum because the jugs were so big they smacked into my chest on the way up!!

	23	★ Hairy Horrace	Sport 12m	Blue Mountains	Average	Mon 29th Nov 2004
ive got a bit of history with this climb!! it was the first climb i ever tried outdoors (on lead!) and i must have had about 15 shots over the last year and a bit, finally got it today in the summer heat
	22	★★ The Memory Cathedral	Sport 16m, 5	Mt Ku-ring-gai	★★★ Classic	Wed 24th Nov 2004

	21	★★ Midge Madness	Sport 10m	Mt Ku-ring-gai	★★ Very Good	Tue 21st Dec 2004

	21	★ Toetality	Sport 8m	The Stables		Tue 6th Jan 2004
a great climb, though it finishes a little too soon. i slid off clipping the third bolt on my first attempt but stuck it second try
	20	★ Yerba	Sport 10m	The Stables	★ Good	Mon 5th Jan 2004
the undercling dish to get to the second bolt is what makes this climb- the rest is piss but this move makes you think
	20	★★ Mr Self Destruct	Sport 14m	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Sun 14th Nov 2004
jugs all the way, i had 1 shot at easter '04, got it first shot today
	20	★★ The Mind has Mountains	Sport 12m, 3	Mt Ku-ring-gai	★ Good	Sun 18th Apr 2004
very nice- crusiy with a couple iffy moves to make it fun
	20	★ Dr Foopsickle	Sport 8m	Blue Mountains	Average	Thu 9th Dec 2004
i tried this AGES ago and thought it was quite hard for the grade, that was when i was fresh, and the climb became something i walked past every day i was at the glen for almost a year and thought ' yeh i'll do that one day'. after a 2 week climbing trip, at the end of a full day of hard labouring on tony's poperty, and with a belly full of beer, i cruised it first shot this time and thought it was soft! go figure?!
	20	★ Old Blobby	Sport 25m	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Sun 12th Dec 2004
can set up a bivy on most of the holds, the 3rd hold on the climb was way spoogey so i did a 'community service' and sat on the rope to brush it then came back down and got it 1st shot
	20	★ Professor Poopy Pants	Sport 8m, 3	Mt Ku-ring-gai	★ Good	Sun 8th Aug 2004

2nd shot? nice moves- the holds that feel like they should come off dont
	19	★ Ancient Mariner	Sport 12m, 5	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Wed 1st Dec 2004
cool!! a bit pumpy too. i got 1 move up before realising how badly i screwed up the sequence, rather than fix it and punch through I was lazy and jumped. 2nd shot
	19	★★ Gun Barrel Highway	Sport 25m, 10	Nowra	★★★ Classic	Thu 1st Jul 2004
	19	★ Low Carb Diet	Sport 8m, 2	Blue Mountains	Average	Sat 24th Apr 2004
bastard of a first move, easy as pie after that- by far the best 19 in the mountains
	18	★ Old, Fat and Married	Sport 5m, 3	Nowra	★★ Very Good	Wed 30th Jun 2004
3rd shot- a FIVE METRE CLASSIC!!

	18	★★ Captain Underpants and the Attack of the Wicked Wedgie Woman	Sport 11m, 3	Mt Ku-ring-gai	★★ Very Good	Sat 3rd Jan 2004
easy once you have the balancy crux fingured out - if you dont do it the right way its PUMPY
	18	★ This Day all Gods Die	Sport 18m	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Tue 27th Apr 2004
pumped out on my first try, it had been a long day on the jumars...but 2nd try next day saw me at the anchors!! nice one rod, best 18 in the mountains by far!!

	17	FA ★ Grommet	Trad 12m	Mt Ku-ring-gai	Average	Sun 18th Jul 2004

	17	FA ★ Continuum Transfunctioner	Sport 8m	The Stables	Average	Sat 21st Feb 2004

	16	★ Elbow Abrasions	Sport 15m, 4	Mt Ku-ring-gai	Average	Fri 1st Oct 2004

	8	★ Venturi	Trad 40m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Thu 2nd Dec 2004
with a pack! i was a bit disappointed though because i couldnt go through the chimney thing with a pack on so i had to skirt it for a few metres onto the (harder) slab
	20	★ Pimple	Mixed trad 10m, 1	Berowra	★★ Very Good	Sat 28th Feb 2004

	22	★★ Heresey	Sport 15m, 5	Mt Ku-ring-gai	★★★ Classic	Mon 22nd Nov 2004
bloody stellar route- on the onsight attempt i darndoored off on the last more of the crux before the jug haul till the end! did the top half of the crux on toprope on the way down, but left the draws on to get back to it and never did. another day! 24/11/04- two shots, one balancy move stands between me and the redpoint.
	22	★★ Killer Boas	Sport 10m	Nowra	★★★ Mega Classic	Thu 1st Jul 2004
first shot i got to the 3rd bolt and missed the first dyno. second shot i got above the last bolt and pumped out on the second dyno...ill be back
	21	★ So Far So Good	Sport 10m	The Stables	★★★ Classic	Wed 17th Nov 2004
last serious climb of the day. classic, pumpy and full of surprises! on the onsight shot i got in line with the last bolt and went to grab a draw off my harness but spooged out of the monodish thing. would be a 20/21 if you were very tall and could reach the jugs to the left (or even dyno!), but for us mere mortals its quite a 'bag!
