20 Mindblower Mixed trad 20m, 3 Blue Mountains Good Sat 29th Jul 2017
Fun technical face climbing reminiscent of that classic Shipley style.

After doing neighbour routes this felt far too short!

20 Bad Luck Streak Trad 30m Point Perpendicular Very Good Sun 9th Sep 2018
Stellar climb and the best one I've done at Perp yet. Predominately face climbing down low with the odd jam into fingers then the glorious hand crack to the top. Only let down by a few lose chockstones that are screaming to come out. Be careful if you climb this.

Goey (but fun) first few moves at the grade (just as goey as the hardest moves on Cranky which is graded 20).

Mixed trad 120m, 12 Blue Mountains Sat 22nd Apr 2017
Can finally say I've done Sweet Dreams. Super cruisy day out enjoying the views of the three sisters.

Pitch 1: Couple of moves onto a huge ledge then up the staircase corner - 2 carrot bolts.

Pitch 2: More corner climbing to cosy belay. Lewis placed a few cams.

Pitch 3 & 4: The traverse pitch (and money pitch). I struggle to spot carrot bolts on grey rock - 3 bolts up then start traversing horizontal. Rope drag got pretty solid by the end. No idea why pitch 4 exists separately.

Pitch 5: Follow the carrots to the huge ledge. Cool exposure stepping over the gap and looking down.

Pitch 6: The only one that feels like real climbing - we went up the line furthest to the left that has the carrot as the first bolt as it seemed to fit the description of 'blunt arete' best (not sure which line is 'correct' for this variant but seemed around 17). Placed 2 cams at the end - one to protect the rooflet and one in the final corner crack.

Felt a touch easier then Windjammer to me. Better lower half then Windjammer (not too hard) but the top half not as fun.

Poor rock quality on the bottom half with a stellar hand to fist crack to finish. Shame the clean crack up top doesn't extend the full 30m!

19 Vitez Direct finish Trad 25m The Cathedral Very Good Wed 29th Aug 2018
Night ascent. Enjoyable and varied crack. 18 seems on the money to me. Jams are decent with good feet on the face through the initial crack then eases up after that with plenty of hands free rests to suss out the path (which is a bit of a choose your own adventure - I did three laps and all were different).

Stellar climb, loved ever bit of it. Don't let the hardish first few moves put you off, get on it.

Even enjoyed it more then Interstate 31 (but that might be because I'm not a real trad climber).

Awesome corner with bomber gear the whole way (Pitch one only). Done in solid rain and a bit of hail which made the smearing a lot more sketchy.

Fun moves - I went for the ring lock in the crack to get full use out of it. Wish I knew trad to have done this on gear

15 Cornered Again Trad 8m Earlwood Good Tue 31st Jul 2018
Back for another round of night climbing. Good climbing with bomber gear up the slab. Bigger stuff needed up top if you don't want to just run it out. No ring locks needed as the description suggests.

18 Turkish Delight Trad 60m Blue Mountains Good Sat 26th Aug 2017
Great fun and well worth a lap! Only went to the top of the chimney then rappelled off the sling tree.

Fun corner climbing into chimney (but not really any chimney thrutching needed).

Rock early seemed a little fragile.

Not trad - 4 carrots with no anchor. This was the first outdoor climb I ever did years ago. Thought I'd give it another whirl to see how my memory is. Dirty, sharp, short, nothing great and have to get someone to second to clean using boulder as anchor.

Didn't enjoy this at all.

Anchor up top is two dubious looking shiny button top screws. Can anyone confirm if these are safe?

First half is a chossy mess which is a shame as it's slightly steep and could have been some fun jugging. Top half following the crack systems finishing with an off-width thrutch.

Done with #0.4, #2 and medium sized nut. After giving it 14 a few years ago it might actually be easier then that.
