Medlow Bath The Sunbath
	20	★★ Radioactive Man	Sport 12m	★★ Very Good
I really enjoyed this climb despite my sketchy mantle at the top. I wanted to rest before the steepish pumpy bit so I took a sit before charging through. I really need to improve my steep climbing and pump management so that I am not as intimidated every time the angle goes past vertical. I found out afterwards that a few of my friends "couldn't watch" because I made the mantle look about as desperate as it felt. I know what I did wrong and next time I will move my feet up before rushing to the top and getting stretched out and stranded. I am sure I can climb it clean now that I know what is what. An exciting climb with fun holds and moves!
	18	★ Spook Eyes	Sport 10m, 4
Short but interesting. Harder than it looked from the ground but enjoyable.
	19	★ Empty Chairs - with Grace Daff	Sport 10m, 3	★★ Very Good
I got spooked by the distance between bolts for the traversy crux. My friends had just climbed it and warned me that it was a scary committing move in that section so I had a strategic sit to recharge before the move. Thankfully my reach is a tiiiiny bit longer and I managed to find some Jill beta which made the move a bit less committing. I really liked the sequences on this climb and the feeling of pushing through a bit of fear. Next time I am at Medlow I'll go back for the clean send.
	14	★★ Mañana	Sport 22m, 8	★★★ Classic
Really enjoyable warm up, the added exposure and little run out at the top to the anchors kept it engaging even though the climbing was really straighforward and comfortable. What a beautiful climb!

Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd Bell Supercrag The Blowhole
	20	★ Araldite	Sport 20m	★★ Very Good
I really enjoyed this route, the start was the crux for me because steep != my favourite. The rest was thought provoking, interesting and flowy. I probably should have led it but my tank was feeling empty.
	17	★ Aquadhere	Sport 15m	★★ Very Good
I enjoyed this one, 3 sections had interesting moves/sequence. I watched some friends climb it so no on sight.
	15	★ Clag	Sport 15m, 8	★ Good
	16 Hard	★ Blow Dry - with Grace Daff	Sport 15m, 6	★ Good
A bit tired from yesterday and arms didn't want to commit to the crux move so I had a sit. Felt a bit hard for a 16 but could have been me.

Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd Pierces Pass Bunny Bucket Buttress and Hotel California Area
	18	★★★ Bunny Bucket Buttress - with Grace Daff 1 18 20m Second lead by Grace Daff Spicy start to the climb kept things interesting but it's definitely a lot easier if you find the right beta. 2 18 20m Sport lead by Jill Silly fall onto spikey tree. I have been "hard" sport climbing too much recently to remember to switch to a more conservative mindset on a multi when the consequences of falling and injury are worse. Lesson learned for next time! 3 18 40m Second lead by Grace Daff This was such a cool pitch, so much value. I really enjoyed the traverse, step out back onto the arete and the bulge sequence. So fun and thought provoking. 4 8 30m Sport lead by Jill A little more exciting because I didn't go far enough to the right to find the bolts and ran it out between trees. Climbing was easy and felt just like tibro spacing on easy territory so I wasn't stressed. Did have a chuckle when I eventually saw how many bolts I had skipped oops! 5 8 40m Second lead by Grace Daff 6 18 40m Second lead by Grace Daff This was meant to be my lead but I swapped with Grace cuz I was feeling a bit woozy after dressing my leg with some first aid supplies. It was a glorious sequence under the roof and stepping out onto the headwall, loved it. Even with loads of extenders the rope drag seemed pretty bad! 7 18 40m Sport lead by Jill I got my head screwed back on to finish the climb strong. This pitch was The starting move was a bit tough to commit to but once I went for it and stood up it was jug city and flowy moves up in the sky almost to the top. I wasn't expecting the top out to have a final cruxy move but it kept things interesting for sure, especially when I was one draw short and had to repurpose a locker... Loved this pitch though. 8 13 40m Sport lead by Jill Super fun for a 13. Lots of variety and the rope drag wasn't too much with a heap of slings. The feeling topping out and looking out over the valley was so special. Wildflowers and blue skies. Happy climber!	Sport 270m	★★★ Classic
What an adventure! It was a great mixture of thoughtful moves for the first 3 pitches and then headwall glory for the last 3. Overall the climb was easier than I expected (phew) but I did have an unfortunate lapse in concentration/decision making skills whilst leading P2 and made a sketchy move above the ledge mid pitch. I fell a decent way onto a spikey tree. Sorry tree. I was a bit shaken up but I managed to pull it together and keep going. Bunny Bucket was very enjoyable even with a flesh wound Thanks Grace for being my rope wife! Can't wait for our next trip to the Bluies!

After working out what to do to use the arete, actually enjoyed this climb. Next time will have to lead it!
	10	★ Hesitation	Sport 15m	★★ Very Good
Super easy, but really good to get my confidence back after having a few lead hesitations did it twice.
	12	★ Jug City	Sport 15m, 3	★ Good

Spicy start to the climb kept things interesting but it's definitely a lot easier if you find the right beta.
