	23 28	★★★ Marxism (Marxism (Pitch 1 only))	Sport 62m, 22	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Sat 10th Mar 2012
Pretty pumped on the warm up. What a great wall though!
	27	★★★ Event Horizon (The Awesome 27)	Sport 22m, 10	Blue Mountains	★★★ Mega Classic	Thu 5th Jan 2012
PSYCHED! 10m overhung, and kneebars. The perfect onsight route for me.
	27	★★ Fucked on Cocaine - with Duncan Steel †	Sport 16m, 8	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Sun 9th May 2021
Great addition by Evan; very well-equipped and quite bouldery. May be comparable to something like White Linen. Psyched.
	V4 V6	★★★ Bring It On	Boulder 12m	The Balkans		Sun 27th Sep 2020
In the modern world of roof climbing and kneebars, this would be a grade 24 roof route if it was on a rope, but it does seem a bit mean to suggest it's a V3?
	26	★★★ Supercallousfragileextradosage - with Ross	Sport 25m, 13	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Fri 4th Jan 2013
Yesss! Very happy. Pure desperation throw and latch on the crux. Lucky.
	26	Garm - with Duncan	Sport 40m, 18	Urbenville	★ Good	Sun 22nd Jun 2014
Thought this was 25 as well. Really hard to know with these routes. They're all similar.
	26	★ Amp Hour - with Sammi, jjobrien	Sport 10m	Blue Mountains	Average	Fri 6th Nov 2015
Not the best thing around. A bit contrived at the top and impacted by routes crossing it.
	26	★ A Rover in Time Extension - with Moritz	Sport 30m, 16	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Sat 28th Nov 2015
A few crimps to go at with gusto. Finishes at the highest point on the wall.
	26	★★ Three Hour Commute Direct - with Sammi, Emil Mandyczewsky	Sport 17m	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Sat 2nd Jan 2016
Holy shit, that was as close as it gets! Geez!!
	26	★★ Does My Bum Look Big On This? - with ross ferguson, chris coghill	Sport 12m, 6	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Sat 16th Jan 2016
Used nearly every weird trick in the book on the start roof. Probably looked hideous, but didn't fall.
	26	★★★ Sadomastication - with Emil Mandyczewsky	Sport 67m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Sun 28th Aug 2016
PSYCHED OFF MY DIAL!
	26	★★ Bare Essentials - with Sammi	Sport 12m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Sat 15th Oct 2016
That went well.
	26	★ Lovable Rogue - with Rob Saunders	Sport 14m	Blue Mountains	Average	Sun 20th Nov 2016
Obscure roof. Stoked to onsight in horrible conditions.
	26	★★ Easy Fit - with Sammi, Chris Beric, ross ferguson	Sport 25m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Wed 28th Dec 2016
Skin of my teeth!
	26	★★ Dichotomy - with Scott Boladeras, Emil Mandyczewsky	Sport 28m	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Sun 22nd Jan 2017
One fricken hard move in the first bit! Did the full version through the roof.
	26	★★★ Terra Nullius Extension	Sport 35m, 19	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Sun 30th Apr 2017
Adventurousy. I was nearly off. Could be 26 I reckon.
	26	★★ False Prophet (aka Neighbour of Doom) (New Climb??) - with Emil Mandyczewsky, chris coghill	Sport 10	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Sun 13th Aug 2017
Bouldery ceiling start move. Overall quite good.
	26	★★ He-Man - with Emil Mandyczewsky	Sport 15m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Fri 14th Sep 2018
Nice steep pumper.
	26	★★ Chook Raffle - with Sammi	Sport 25m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Sun 10th Feb 2019
Surprisingly good. Pleased to onsight as a couple of moves were a bit of a gamble. #sodelighted
	26	★★★ Grand Junction - with Sammi	Sport 25m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Sun 18th Aug 2019
Pretty steady going with one decent runout. Liked it.
	25	★★ Ha-Ha Wall	Sport 27m	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Tue 28th Dec 2004
Who's laughing now?
	25	★★ Crystal Ships	Mixed trad 20m, 4	Tomaree Head	★★★ Classic	Sun 18th Feb 2007
Happy not to blow this punchy number. Intricate upper section on RPs almost had me stymied. Not a pure onsight as I'd rapped past it.
	25	★★★ Dr Stein	Sport 18m, 10	Blue Mountains	★★★ Mega Classic	Fri 21st Apr 2006
Climb like a high stakes gambler.
	26 25	★★ Codeine (Codein)	Sport 15m	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Sat 27th Dec 2008
Coupla hard pulls.
	25	★★ Glassy	Deep water solo	Craftys	★★ Very Good	Tue 10th Mar 2009
Raining, damp = tricky.
	25	★★★ Paint God (Orange Delight)	Sport 20m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Thu 5th Jan 2012
Thuggy roof, then a pumpy getting established on the runout headwall. Good route; not as good as the other side though.
	25	★★★ The Reality Dysfunction (The Awesome 25)	Sport 20m, 12	Blue Mountains	★★★ Mega Classic	Thu 5th Jan 2012
Wow wow! Amazing 10m overhanging jug route with delicious finale. It must be one of the best routes of this style in the Mountains, surely?
	25	★★ Swinging In The Rain	Sport 20m, 13	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Sat 10th Mar 2012
Kneebar roof, then damn grunty getting over the lip. It's hard to find that kind of thing overly enjoyable.
	25	★★ Binary Neil	Sport 25m, 10	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Sat 10th Mar 2012
Attractive because of the blank bit. Only just made it through.
	25	★★★ High Tension - with sam	Sport 25m, 10	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Thu 27th Dec 2012
Very nice, and the pick of the wall. Finishes in a brilliant position at the very highest point.
	25	★ Hilti's not Guilty	Sport 16m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Wed 2nd Jan 2013
Veeeery close onsight. Should have got in earlier when this was 26
	25	★★ Kathy K	Sport 16m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Wed 2nd Jan 2013
Perfect kneebar right where I needed it.
	25	★★★ Vertical Romance	Sport 30m, 11	Point Perpendicular	★★★ Classic	Sat 19th Apr 2014
This totally made my day. Not a skerrick of chalk, pure onsight drop the clutch action with several "I'm off!" moments. Just awesome.
	25	★★ I Have A Dream	Sport 20m, 8	Point Perpendicular	★★ Very Good	Sat 19th Apr 2014
The top of this was sketchy AS on the onsight. No chalk. Somehow got through. Killer!
	25	★ Balor	Sport 35m, 16	Urbenville	★ Good	Sat 28th Jun 2014
This one felt 25/6. Second ascent.
	25	★ Geryon - with Duncan	Sport 40m, 18	Urbenville	★ Good	Sat 6th Sep 2014
Used this as a warm up one morning which was actually sort of doable, because it was bouldery to a rest, bouldery to a rest, repeated.
	25	★★★ Vespasian's Wall (Pitch 1 only)	Sport 25m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Sat 13th Mar 2010
Great. Only barely stuck the huck at the crux. Couldn't use the rubbish intermediate Vanessa chalked up.
	25	★★ The Dreaming Void - with Sammi	Sport 29m, 12	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Fri 15th May 2015
This was quite the long varied adventure. And pretty hard! I grovelled and thrutched into several breaks in the upper half.
	25	★ Digitalicious - with Sammi	Sport 20m, 12	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Sun 21st Jun 2015
I was actually super chuffed to onsight this. Only just got away with it. Cool upside down hands off double kneebar in the roof pocket.
	25	★★★ The Life of Riley - with Sammi, Heath Black, Paul Frothy Thomson	Sport 35m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Sun 28th Jun 2015
Have "saved it for the onsight" for years. This reminded me of a really good Point Perp route. Pockets, a blunt flake with feet pasted on nothing. Loved it, and very happy to OS it.
	25	★★ George, King of the Jungle - with Sammi, Erik Smits, Kathryn Gardner	Sport 20m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Sat 4th Jul 2015
Super nice and not so hard, split by several good rests.
	25	★★ Dance Like a Mother - with Sammi, Erik Smits, Kathryn Gardner	Sport 30m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Tue 7th Jul 2015
This was very steady, with one punchy bit up high, but I'd be tipping this is one of the easier 25s on Upper Shipley? For me anyway.
	25	★★★ Magnitude - with Scott Boladeras, Emil Mandyczewsky	Sport 25m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Sun 2nd Aug 2015
Steep and stunning! Several moves I only managed by the skin of my teeth - super happy to onsight it. Best route I've done in ages.
	25	★★ The Bolt and the Beautiful - with Heath Black, Sammi	Sport 25m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Sun 16th Aug 2015
Great route with a drop the clutch finish.
	25	★★ Hazard Reduction - with Sammi	Sport 27m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Sat 31st Oct 2015
For me, first day back from holiday usually means climbing like a bag of rocks, but this was good! Glorious rock on the arete.
	25	★★ Piano Tossers Anomynous - with Emil Mandyczewsky	Sport 20m, 10	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Sun 1st Nov 2015
Vertical crimping. Fluked my way through on some hiiiideously small holds.
	25	★★★ Dark Energy - with Emil Mandyczewsky	Sport 22m, 13	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Sun 1st Nov 2015
OMG! Chris! This is a pearler! Super steep RRG-style pumping.
	25	★★★ Kizashi - with jjobrien, Heath Black	Sport 20m, 12	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Sun 8th Nov 2015
Delicate yet powerful. Vertical yet gastonical.
	24 25	★★ Taxi Driver - with Steven Ioannou	Sport 20m, 9	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Sat 14th Nov 2015
Tricky lip move in a taxi.
	25	★ Windtalker - with Steven Ioannou	Sport 20m, 12	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Sat 14th Nov 2015
Thanks Mr Brooks. Liked it.
	25	★★ War and Peace - with Sammi	Sport 10m, 5	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Wed 13th Jan 2016
8pm onsight with headtorch, followed by a swim. Good way to finish a work day.
	25	★★★ Amazonia - with Heath Black, jjobrien, Chris Beric	Sport 30m, 11	New Nowra - Braidwood Road	★★ Very Good	Sun 17th Apr 2016
Nice and steep, just the way I like 'em. A couple of bouldery bits though!
	25	★★★ Jerkyll & Hyde - with Heath Black, jjobrien, Chris Beric	Sport 30m, 13	New Nowra - Braidwood Road	★★★ Classic	Sun 17th Apr 2016
Wow! Bloody slab to start and then the reward -- uber steepness including double kneebar bat hang in honeycomb sandstone.
	25	★★★ Powder Burns - with Heath Black, jjobrien, Chris Beric	Sport 20m	New Nowra - Braidwood Road	★★ Very Good	Sun 17th Apr 2016
Looks a bit like the Stone Roses wall. Pretty cool!
	25	★★★ Mega Mac - with Sammi	Sport 15m, 8	Nowra	★★★ Classic	Sun 26th Jun 2016
Tricky start, then pumpy.
	25	★ The River Styx	Sport 12m	Blue Mountains	Average	Sun 31st Jul 2016
Touch and go with the top all wet.
	25	★ Odyssey	Sport 22m	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Sun 31st Jul 2016
Flesh frozen to rock.
	25	★★ Weakend Worrier - with Emil Mandyczewsky	Sport 30m, 12	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Sun 28th Aug 2016
This had a super stumper crux move. Took about 10 minutes of head scratching to solve.
	25	★★★ Nikita - with Emil Mandyczewsky	Sport 35m, 16	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Sun 4th Sep 2016
Super proud-looking line and a worthy climb.
	25	★★ Second Dreaming - with Jaques	Sport 35m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Sun 8th Jan 2017
Cool position moving ever leftwards. Then the real challenge - how to clean it!
	25	★★ Desafinado	Sport 20m, 8	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Thu 26th Jan 2017
Some cool moves up the corner.
	25	★★ Damned if I Do - with Emil Mandyczewsky, Sammi	Sport 18m, 9	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Mon 17th Apr 2017
Had to give this some "Rar!". A kneepad would be handy.
	25	★★ Talk Crime Extension - with Rob Saunders	Sport 35m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Fri 29th Dec 2017
Great pumpy climbing which almost made my head and arms explode. Sweating buckets.
	25	★★ He Said, She Said - with Sammi	Sport 20m, 11	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Wed 25th Apr 2018
Rad start, then pretty steady and not really much harder than the 23, which is stout. Pumpy though!
	25	★★ Rabbit Trap - with Sammi	Sport 12m	Nowra	★★ Very Good	Sat 23rd Jun 2018
Got quite cooked! Cool roof.
	25	★★ Mad Hatter - with Sammi	Sport 17m, 8	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Sat 11th Aug 2018
Nice one Monty.
	25	★★★ Samarkand - with @1293 1 23 15 lead by @1293 2 25 35 lead by Lee Cujes 3 23 20 lead by @1293 4 22 35 lead by Lee Cujes 5 22 20 lead by @1293	Trad 130m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Sat 29th Dec 2018
I led the even pitches and Aaron the odd and even better — all onsight, a no falls day. . It was pretty close for me on the crux pitch as I happened to run out of the cams I needed for the crux section at the 30m mark. I placed some pretty junky gear and hesitated for a long time, hanging off a jug on an overhang before finally committing to the overhung off-finger-sized crack. In full sport climbing mode I laybacked up it, got one working fingerlock and swung out of the layback (and almost off completely) before latching a jug with some desperation. It was exciting! . Fun morning with a great (ever psyched) friend and back home in time for lunch. Very pleased to have finally done this one, and keen for more
	25	★★ Geek Salad - with Sammi	Sport 8	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Fri 4th Dec 2020
Nice, well worth getting on!
	25	★★★ Lockdown - with Duncan Steel †	Sport 36m, 17	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Sat 8th May 2021
Some proper tricky moves on the slab. Did this as the last route and was happy to get away with it.
	25	★ Cant - with Sammi	Sport 25m	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Sun 10th Oct 2021
Blazing sun; bit of a battle.
	25 Hard	★★ The Life of Pablo - with Kamil Sustiak	Sport 20m	Blue Mountains	Average	Sat 13th Apr 2024
Not sure what to say about this one. I bled for it. Yowza!
	24	★★★ Zimbabalooba	Sport 20m	Nowra	★★★ Classic	Mon 12th Jun 2006
I could happily climb this all day long.
	24	★★ These Apples Must Be Jen's	Sport 20m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Mon 27th Dec 2004
Runout with tough start
	24	★★ Escape Velocity	Sport 20m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Fri 31st Dec 2004
Despite my best efforts, I somehow didn't fall
	24	★★ Drop Them Pants	Sport 15m, 6	Deliverance	★★ Very Good	Sun 8th Mar 2009
Burly pockets, then desperate slab...
	24	★★ Form One Lane	Sport 22m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Sun 16th Apr 2006
It's fun seeing how much you can not fall off these things
	24	★★★ Black Heathen	Sport 25m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Mega Classic	Sun 14th Mar 2004
Yeehar! Steep, technical moves between thank-god breaks
	24	★★ Pale Yellow Underwear	Sport 10m, 5	Nowra	★★★ Classic	Fri 10th Jun 2005
I was being constantly heckled from the gallery. "Ohh look at him spin his chalkbag around, ooohhh!" (gear on, no beta)
	24	★★ Meat Mallet	Sport 25m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	2009
Needs a rebolt and some attention with a blower-vac
	24	★★ Jaqueline Hyde	Sport 15m, 6	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Sat 13th Mar 2004
yay!
	24	★★ Flaming Flamingo	Sport 25m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Mon 10th Apr 2006
Awkward corner, but well worth doing
	24	★★ Jean Genie	Sport 18m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Sun 16th Apr 2006
You can taste the old school flavour.
	24	★★★ Holy Leaping Shortarses, Batman	Sport 15m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Sun 16th Apr 2006
Belayer: 'I've never seen you shake like that on a slab dude!'
	24	★★ Good Big Dog	Sport 22m	Blue Mountains		Fri 1st Dec 2000
everyone's first 24 onsight
	24	★★ Drop Them Pants	Sport 15m, 6	Deliverance	★★ Very Good	Sun 8th Mar 2009
Burly pockets, then desperate slab.
	24	★★ Unity (Rat$ Direct)	Sport 25m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Sun 1st Jan 2012
Really good value. Nice work from a Townsville lad.
	24	★★ GoGo Juice	Sport 15m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Sun 11th Mar 2012
Jesus, hardest I crimped all weekend by far. Gear was on.
	24	★★ Pallets of Pies	Sport 12m, 4	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Fri 1st Jun 2012
Bit more warming up. Found it helped to be confident. Just throw.
	24	★★ Ratcat	Sport 14m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Thu 3rd Jan 2013
A well loved slab - tricky little number. Nowhere near as hard as Chase The Lady.
	24	★★★ Walk the Plank - with Cass	Mixed trad 30m, 3	Point Perpendicular	★★★ Classic	Sat 30th Dec 2006
Oh Cass, the memories! It was worth it wasn't it? You're in the guidebook now!
	24	★★ Hate Mail - with Neil	Mixed trad 25m, 5	Point Perpendicular	★★★ Classic	Sat 30th Mar 2013
A Monty route, climbed with Monty. Some of the best rock around up high, pretty impressive. You have to jam a cam in a critical pod which is your handhold which I actually thought was cool. Don't be put off by the rusty U-bolts, they're fine. Needs some stainless mallions added to anchor.
	24	★★★ Atmosfear - with Aaron	Sport 50m, 18	Point Perpendicular	★★★ Classic	Sat 31st Aug 2013
Before Monty's wedding. Super long pitch (18 clips!) which gradually steepens. You will pump!
	24	★★ The Omen	Sport 22m, 13	Point Perpendicular	★★ Very Good	Sat 19th Apr 2014
This is the pound of flesh route, whippers galore.
	24	★★ Anasasis Xenophontis	Sport 15m, 7	Urbenville	★★ Very Good	Sun 25th Aug 2013
Had seen a few moves on this prior. It's good and hard for the grade!
	24	★★ No U-Turn - with Sammi	Sport 20m	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Wed 6th May 2015
My life's philosophy. Push on.
	24	★★★ Language of Desire - with Sammi	Sport 28m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Wed 6th May 2015
Got very confused about where to go with 4 routes branching off the same start. Anyway, figured it out and crimped to glory. There was a really long reach for me past the first FH on the headwall to a pad edge. What's the Lynn Hill beta?
	24	★★★ Pluck-a-Duck - with Sammi	Sport 22m, 10	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Fri 15th May 2015
This was great. Easy, then a crimp crux, then steep jug romping. I figured the top would be hard so I didn't hang around. Turns out it was fine. Standard Crossroads mantle.
	24	★ Survival Day - with Sammi	Sport 20m, 10	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Sun 21st Jun 2015
This is an interesting one. It's a reach problem, so you'd think easier if tall, but the reach is off a very awkward bunched kneebar. Which might be really shit if you're tall.
	22 24	★★ A Most Profligate Sinner - with Sammi, Erik Smits, Kathryn Gardner	Sport 18m	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Sat 4th Jul 2015
I expended more energy on this than on the 25. No doubt.
	24	★★ Ferro Pro - with Sammi	Sport 20m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Sat 25th Jul 2015
Vertical tech slimper action. My biggest onsight battle for a while. Went up and down on the start a bunch of times, and then some gambling on the top headwall which paid off by the slimmest of margins and plumpest of forearms.
