Fri 29th Dec 2017 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Heathcliff
	20	★★ Unearthed - with Enmoore	Trad 100m	★★★ Classic
A grand Bluies excursion. The first pitch is an enjoyable corner with great rock and moves. The second pitch is an interesting traverse with a diabolical move to exit. The third is a pumper with lots of holds and jams. The fourth bridges delicately up poor rock. No move is 20 and there is some bad rock in places, but overall a great route. Stays mostly in the shade in summer mornings, but take plenty of water anyway as the walk out is hot and thirsty. The #5 cam for the traverse only necessary if you're short and need to do the lower traverse. Double nuts, cams #0.5 to #4, with doubles in the #1.5-#3 range, and hexes which are most useful when the rock isn't so great.

	19 18	★★ Last Call for Fame and Glory	Mixed trad 16m, 6

Start now has a stick-clippable ring bolt to protect the opening boulder problem, but the route remains a fun journey up the arete.
	21	★★ Colditz	Sport 28m, 11	★★ Very Good
Pleasant. One thin bit in the middle to keep you on your toes. Final overhang thankfully a doddle!

Leura The Fortress
	16	Landing Gear Down	Trad 140m	Don't Bother
Skipped first pitch. Second pitch start is good, but deteriorates rapidly amongst much fragileness and dubious pro. Crux corner good fun, but then so much mank the temptation to escape early onto Tom Thumb wins.
