Sun 26th Mar 2017 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Centennial Glen Wave Wall
21 Jaws - with Chris Sport 15m, 4 Good
Its been so long since i last jumped on this. Cruisy fun.

 
Sun 29th Jan 2017 - Blue Mountains
Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd Uppercut Crag
24 Tha Boom King - with Vanessa Sport 12m, 9 Good
Could not for the life of me get into a decent position to make the dyno move from the sidepull/undercling. The rest is quite good fun but so much dirt, need more traffic! I had a high gravity day today and the sharp rock here, hurts bad, with no skin to start with. Third day on and struggling...

 
24 Handy Work - with Vanessa Sport 12m, 9 Good
Another one that's got some cool climbing. These have had no traffic though and we broke holds and copped dirt in our faces, a little too much to really enjoy it. Sharp rock or lack of skin held me back again though.

 
17 Dingos - with Vanessa Sport 15m, 9 Good
Couple of moves at the bottom, that might stump a grade 17 climber but not too hard. Good little warm up.

 
20 Crimp Salad - with Vanessa Sport 17m, 9 Good
I thought this was great fun but the start it nails at the grade and some of the holds might disappear over time.

 
Sat 28th Jan 2017 - Blue Mountains
Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd Bell Supercrag Departures (Upper)
27 Spent Force Sport 20m Mega Classic
One more working lap but i was pretty toast already and it was bloody hot today!

 
Sat 28th Jan 2017 - Blue Mountains
Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd Bell Supercrag Arrivals (Lower)
24 GoGo Juice - with Chris, Ian Geatches Sport 15m Good
Tried to onsight but its a pretty tricky sequence to read and the hard moves started slightly lower than i was expecting. Pretty good though and I'll come back for it.

 
21 Jingle Bells - with Chris, Ian Geatches Sport 15m Very Good
Lap while draws were on.

Wed 25th Jan 2017 - The Balkans
The Frontline The Main Wall
V6 V6 R Milo and Kofi - with Fil Pulido, Fab Boulder 6m Very Good
Would like to get back on this with better friction. Those crimps were hard to hold. Keen to tick it off though.

 
V6 A2 is Not a Tank - with Fil Pulido, Fab Boulder 3m Very Good
Got a hand to it a couple times but didn't quite hold it. Another one to come back to

 
Wed 25th Jan 2017 - The Balkans
The Frontline Frontline Right Hand Side
V6 Who Killed The Kennedys - with Fil Pulido, Fab Boulder 3m Very Good
Had a play. The start requires a good wingspan but it might still go with some work.

 
Wed 25th Jan 2017 - The Balkans
The Frontline Roadside
V2 Sandbar - with Fil Pulido Boulder 4m Good
Sandbar or Sandbag? This was hard for a 2..

 
V3 V3 R Crossfire - with Fil Pulido Boulder 4m Good
Would probably be good, if the top wasn't covered in moss...had to bail

 
V3 She'll Be Left - with Fil Pulido Boulder 2m Very Good
Good fun, pretty scary with dirt on the holds but all good.

 
V2 She'll Be Right - with Fil Pulido Boulder 2m Good
Almost fell backwards off the mantle, when my hand slipped on the dirt

 
V0 H? - with Fil Pulido Boulder 3m Good
V2 Have A Proper Gander - with Fil Pulido Boulder 3m Very Good
I really liked this at the grade. Good, fun moves!

 
Wed 25th Jan 2017 - The Balkans
The Frontline Area Q
V2 V1 7 - with Fil Pulido Boulder 5m Good
Bit stiff at V1...

 
V3 Lay Down Your Arms - with Fil Pulido Boulder 5m Good
Good fun

 
V5 Arms Race - with Fil Pulido Boulder 6m Very Good
Quick play but that dyno is tricky...

 
V2 National Pride - with Fil Pulido Boulder 5m Good
Sun 22nd Jan 2017 - Blue Mountains
Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd Cosmic County Area Railway Cliff
25 Gumbo Akimbo - with Heath Black Sport 30m, 14 Good
3 stars? I don't think so but its ok. Not a fan of the slab to roof section. I would not want to fall there at all. The holds through the roof and at the lip don't seem like they'll last and the clip in the middle is really hard to get to, unless you go past it. The top half was pretty nice

 
22 The Belles, The Belles - with Heath Black Sport 30m Good
Definitely not a classic but not too bad. The bottom half wasn't great and there is a hell of a lot of tick marks and chalk, where this meets the new 23 to right. I managed to go for one big long tick mark that was a nithing hold and fell off. The top is better and has some cool moves.

 
Sun 22nd Jan 2017 - Blue Mountains
Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd Cosmic County Area Cosmic County Greenhouse Gully
21 22 Prussic Acid - with Heath Black Sport 25m, 9 Good
Pretty good. Needs a rebolt of the bottom half but its quite a good warm up, with some cool moves.

Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd Bell Supercrag Departures (Upper)
27 Spent Force - with Matt Springall, Ian Geatches, lloyd wishart, Chris Sport 20m Mega Classic
Yeah baby, new project! 2 working laps. Didn't work out a good way to come out the roof but i did go the proper way, via the pockets and dyno and its pretty bloody exciting! No moss on the holds today, so thanks to the persons most recently on it. Amazing route!

Blackheath Area Porters Pass Sail Away Wall
25 Wipe Out - with Vanessa Sport 30m, 8 Classic
Had an exploratory lap, to see what all the fuss is about. Yeah, its really good. Felt pretty tough down low and the run out is scary! I'll be back...

 
26 Fumble Factor - with Vanessa Sport 18m Good
Was looking for some empty wall space and this was pretty much all i could find. Couldn't work out the crux on this.

 
Sun 15th Jan 2017 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Porters Pass La La Land Area
22 Shocking Pocket Monster - with Vanessa Sport 15m Good
This was supposed to be a warm up, as every man and their dogs were down here today. Pretty tough between 2nd and 3rd, good though.

 
Mon 2nd Jan 2017 - Blue Mountains
Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd The Dam Cliffs Gulf War Wall
25 War and Peace - with Chris Sport 10m, 5 Very Good
Bout bloody time i sent this one packing. I did it easy on the second burn, after falling at the top again on the first go.

 
22 Sister Rosa - with Vanessa Sport 18m, 8 Good
That start was pretty bloody punchy! The rest is ok. Not bad route.

Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd Bell Supercrag Fox Hole
24 The Apricot Slot - with Damo, Clem, Ben Sport 14m, 9 Very Good
Really nice little route and in the shade from about midday or so. Second shot was easy but it was a bit hard to onsight today, with the slopey crux and the spoogey conditions. Would probably be really easy on a good day but even the qlders were complaining about the humidity today...

25 War and Peace - with Geoffrey, Fil Pulido Sport 10m, 5 Very Good
Bloody hell! 3 goes today and STILL haven't ticked this thing! I should have done it but i fell at the top, when i missed a hold on my 3rd attempt. It will remain my nemesis for another 12 months

 
Tue 27th Dec 2016 - Blue Mountains
Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd The Dam Cliffs Steep Wall
22 Lay la Kay - with Geoffrey, Fil Pulido Sport 12m, 5 Good

Sun 25th Dec 2016 - Blue Mountains
Mount Victoria Area Bardens Lookout Jean Genie Area
24 Cave Route - with Matt Springall Sport 10m, 4 Good
I could have climbed on the slabs all day but the moment i hit the steep terrain, i realised how tired i was....couldn't repeat this today, so i didn't bother with anything harder. Just glad to be out though.

 
Sun 25th Dec 2016 - Blue Mountains
Mount Victoria Area Bardens Lookout Little Triggers Wall
19 Mike and Lorna go to Town - with Matt Springall Sport 25m, 6 Good
Repeats, all good fun!

 
21 Sound and Vision - with Matt Springall Sport 20m Good
Felt a tad easier than previous times. Good fun!

 
21 Dr Do Little - with Matt Springall Sport 15m Good
I didn't realise that i hadn't ticked this route previously, but i guess its good i jumped back on it. Once you know where to put your feet at the crux, its not too hard. Great fun!

 
Sun 18th Dec 2016 - Blue Mountains
Katoomba Area Narrow Neck Farside Main Wall
24 Brain Drain - with Aristotle, Jason Smith Sport 20m, 11 Classic
Always a pleasure doing a lap on this gem.

 
25 Captain Kurko - with Aristotle, Jason Smith Sport 22m, 12 Very Good
Warm up, pumped stupid but i refused to take a sit

 
28 Bumbalong Road - with Aristotle, Jason Smith Sport 25m, 14 Very Good
Just had a little play on the moves while Pommy's draws were up. Good fun, didn't do the crux though and didn't go to the anchor.

 
Sat 17th Dec 2016 - Blue Mountains
Mount Victoria Area Renitz Pass
22 Trad Exterminator - with Vanessa Sport 30m Very Good
Repeat, Still a fun route

 
23 M.A.R.K. #1 - with Vanessa Sport 30m Very Good
Repeat, felt a lot easier than i remembered, which is good

 
21 Renegade Ways - with Vanessa Sport 25m Good
Not bad. Generally a little harder than the 22 (IMO) but that start boulder is at least grade 65, if you're not tall...

 
Sun 11th Dec 2016 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Centennial Glen Main Wall
26 Trix Roughly - with Matt Springall Sport 12m, 5 Classic
Had an end of day lash for training and cause its an awesome route! Couple of sits but plenty of linkage. Happy with that

 
25 Apraxia - with Matt Springall Sport 14m, 5 Good
First time trying this and i couldn't figure out the crux down low. The rest is cool but no giveaway. I was not expecting much, after a big day and late night last night but i did ok. Although I was exhausted this arvo and i had a 2hr nap...

 
25 Padington - with Matt Springall Sport 12m Very Good
Had a lap, while Matt worked it. Fell off the little crux crimp at the bottom, then pulled back onto the jug below it and went to the top. Technically a dog but the only bit i didn't do is the easy start and i've already done the route, so i'm happy.

 
25 Horrace Herod - with Matt Springall Sport 12m Good
Meh, awkward in that corner. Felt like i was gonna jhurt myself, so i bailed. Not a good day for trying new routes today

 
23 Hairy Horrace - with Matt Springall Sport 12m Good
Warm up lap. Felt ok but tired.

 
Tue 29th Nov 2016 - The Greenhouse
Off ya tree cave
V4 Colour Run - with Fil Pulido Boulder 4m Very Good
Same grade as Greenhouse for sure, as it has the same crux and possibly harder climbing beforehand...

 
V4 V5 The Greenhouse - with Fil Pulido Boulder 8m Very Good
Definitely no harder than Colour Run but slightly better. They were all pretty tricky, with the sweat and spooge but i got there on the second burn.

 
V2 K Pop - with Fil Pulido Boulder 12m Good
Nice, long warm up

 
V4 Off the cuff - with Fil Pulido Boulder 3m Good
Quite hard to get the hands to stick to the sloper in today's spooge but once i felt ok, i went for it and just stuck the next hold.

 
Sun 27th Nov 2016 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Porters Pass Self Portrait Wall
23 Chook Lotto - with Vanessa Sport 15m, 6 Very Good
Went for an onsight on my way out and should've but misread a move and fluffed it! Great little route, will come back to it.

 
Sun 27th Nov 2016 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Porters Pass Chasing Amy Wall
22 Spread 'em Baby - with Vanessa Sport 25m
Bloody hell, this scared the shit outa me! Bailed at what I assume is the crux, just before the 2 routes join up. Such a pussy!!

 
23 Cutopia - with Vanessa Sport 20m Very Good
Slabs frighten me every time! The climbing on this was rad but I lacked testicles for the crux on the onsight. Still a tad frightening on the second burn but got it done. Its at least 30 tbough

 
Sun 27th Nov 2016 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Porters Pass Dogs, Cats & Apples Wall
19 Powerbra Rangers - with Vanessa Sport 23m, 8 Very Good
Always a fun warm up.

 
Sat 26th Nov 2016 - Blue Mountains
Mount Victoria Area Zap Crag Upper Zap
22 Jug Buzz - with Matt Springall, Jason Smith Sport 15m, 6 Very Good
2 warm up laps, as usual.

 
24 Transmission - with Matt Springall, Jason Smith Sport 20m, 9 Very Good
I think this is not a route that you should do after 4 tries on Zapt. Really good but not 24, quite painful down low and i could not work out the long move on the top headwall, from the sidepulls...

 
28 Zapt - with Matt Springall, Jason Smith Sport 20m, 10 Very Good
Draws on and 3 shots at it. Probably the last chance to do it this year but oh well. Some time away and a fresh head and cool conditions next year, might be what i need...

 
Sat 19th Nov 2016 - Blue Mountains
Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd Cosmic County Area The Freezer
18 Soul Sister - with Vanessa Sport 24m Good
Repeat

 
21 Bulls Head - with Vanessa Sport 35m Very Good
Good fun position, bastard to clean though

 
22 Mad Cow Disease - with Vanessa Sport 22m Very Good
Repeat, EOD and forgot an invisible hold and got really pumped for a minute

 
23 Hypoxic - with Vanessa Sport 25m Classic
Repeat so good! Felt easy today. Shows how weak i was last time...

 
Thu 17th Nov 2016 - Blue Mountains
Mount Victoria Area Zap Crag Upper Zap
28 Zapt - with Chris Sport 20m, 10 Very Good
Bahhh, took a day off to get back here aaaaand....it was a spooge fest. Felt good at first, on the warm up but the humidity was high and breeze was nowhere to be seen (or felt) today. Did work out a more solid way of doing the bottom crux though

 
22 Jug Buzz - with Chris Sport 15m, 6 Very Good
2 warm up laps again..

 
Sun 13th Nov 2016 - Blue Mountains
Mount Victoria Area Zap Crag Upper Zap
22 Jug Buzz - with Jason Smith, Ben Jenga Sport 15m, 6 Very Good
2 warm up laps.

 
28 Zapt - with Jason Smith, Ben Jenga Sport 20m, 10 Very Good
Unfortunately things didn't go so well again today. The wind wasn't too bad early but i didn't start climbing well enough until later and the wind was too much for me. Couldn't focus with gusts almost blowing me off the wall. 4 goes today. Maybe next time..

 
Sat 5th Nov 2016 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Centennial Glen White Linen Wall
27 White Linen - with Matt Springall Sport 10m Very Good
Conditions were great on this today so i decided to try and get it done. Got through both cruxes on the 3rd go but forgot the top beta and pumped off. Felt strong though.

 
Sat 5th Nov 2016 - Blue Mountains
Mount Victoria Area Bardens Lookout Little Triggers Wall
19 Little Triggers - with Matt Springall Sport 25m Very Good
Repeat, warm up

 
20 Go Lotto - with Matt Springall Sport 22m, 7 Very Good
Nails hard move for the grade, unless I missed something...

Quite good though!

 
22 Hang onto Yourself - with Matt Springall Sport 20m Very Good
Repeat, still scary

 
Sun 30th Oct 2016 - The Cathedral
Main Crag
24 Expectorant Sport 15m, 4 Very Good
Really fun easy climbing, with a tricky finish. Felt about 24 to me. Second shot.

 
22 Hercules Sport 15m Classic
I really liked this one! Wish it was longer!

 
22 23 Imogen Sport 15m, 7 Very Good
The new start is way harder than 22. Change the grade or climb it the way the first ascent was done. After the start its really good!

 
20 Bundy's been bolting Sport 15m, 6 Good
Good little climb. I found the move after coming out of the cave quite goey.

 
Sun 23rd Oct 2016 - Blue Mountains
Mount Victoria Area Zap Crag Upper Zap
22 Jug Buzz - with Matt Springall, Chris Sport 15m, 6 Very Good
2 warm up laps and an end of day warm down (in runners), to retrieve Matt's draws.

 
28 Zapt - with Matt Springall, Chris Sport 20m, 10 Very Good
First time back on this since August last year and i surprised myself. Tied into this 4 times today and punted the last move of the crux on the third. Coming back to hopefully finish this off soon

 
Sat 15th Oct 2016 - Blue Mountains
Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd Bell Supercrag The Blowhole
27 Full Blown Frenzy - with Matt Springall, Chris, Nathan Sport 11 Very Good
This is better than i thought it would be. Really funky steepness through the first part, that you need to get right or you will be too tired at the crux. 3 working laps today with best linkage on the last.

 
22 Blow Over - with Matt Springall, Chris, Nathan Sport 20m Very Good
Should probably just remove the original route Bundy. There is no change in grade and the extension is probably better for a warm up

 
22 Kiama - with Matt Springall, Chris, Nathan Sport 20m Good
Second warm up.

 
Sat 8th Oct 2016 - Blue Mountains
Katoomba Area Ngula Bulgarabang/ Radiata Plateau The Egg
24 The Deal with Space - with Vanessa Sport 15m Very Good
Really cool and pretty solid at the grade, in my opinion. Second shot.

 
24 Funky Monkey - with Vanessa Sport 14m, 8 Very Good
Warm up, putting draws on. Much better without frozen fingers..

 
27 Headshot - with Vanessa Sport 17m, 7
Just tried to work out the start around the lip and found it hard to commit. Will be back for this in better conditions. Stinking hot in the sun!

 
Mon 3rd Oct 2016 - The Balkans
The Frontline Front and Centre
V4 Diplomatic Immunity - with Fil Pulido Boulder 3m Good
Tried to get off the ground and bashed my heel again, so i left it alone...

 
Mon 3rd Oct 2016 - The Balkans
The Frontline Frontline Right Hand Side
V5 V5 R Armistice Day - with Fil Pulido Boulder 5m Good
Hmmm, a little thinnerer than i expected...hard!

 
V4 Amnesty - with Fil Pulido Boulder 5m Good
Quite fun, probably soft though

 
Mon 3rd Oct 2016 - The Balkans
The Frontline Front and Centre
V3 F - with Fil Pulido Boulder 3m Good
Just a couple crimps on smeary feet. Not bad.

 
V5 Sloper-Dan Milosevic - with Fil Pulido Boulder 5m Classic
Heel slipped off on my second attempt and bashed a tree root, limped for the rest of the day....but sent on the 4th go. Great boulder problem!
