Ascents in Illawarra and Shoalhaven as various tick types by Alex Rogers

Hmm, didn't realise I'd done this before, thought I'd done the LHS. Ah well - enjoyed it, if a little stiff!

One tricky move down low then cruising

Good fun in the crack

Very good climb - easier than it looks

Led with draws in place after Sandra climbed. Found it quite tough but got it clean

Really good fun - got some advice to try it straight up in a direct line through the cave, using long sling threaded to protect move out of cave - much more direct and good fun

Warmup - good climb, felt much easier this time

Climbing with the kids - who were dismayed to find that Gr15 on rock is harder than the gym

Climbing with the kids - good fun

Nice slab moves higher up, good fun.

Fun slabbing with the kids.

Another really good beginners route

Perfect beginners route - my 6 & 8 year olds loved it

Quite a tricky start with some swing potential, then easily up.

Awesome position, easier than it looks, well protected - a great intro to PP.

Used it as a quick way to the top when we forgot our lead rope - duh! Surprisingly good fun if you like that sort of trad - a good route for a new leader.

Very short, very sweet. A great one to get used to the sea cliff exposure, as it has a safe belay, is very short, and easy for the grade with excellent pro. If it was only longer...

Protects well with big gear. Pretty sandy / thrutchy at top.

Useful enough warm up to get used to rock / pro.

First climb at PP to ease into things - felt harder than 10 in a classic sandy trad way...

Long, steep, juggy, it just seems to keep going. Great fun and spicy enough at the grade to make it very satisfying.

Good but very short. 17 as per new guide.

First climb at Nowra, and first of the day - great intro. Lovely juggy crack.

Excellent, strenuous, satisfying.

Bolted crack = guilty fun
