24 Zimbabalooba - with Vanessa Sport 20m Very Good
Flashed this a couple years ago in cold winter conditions, had to battle hard in the spooge today but didn't wanna let go!

 
17 L'Arch - with Vanessa Sport 16m, 5 Very Good
EOD for draw retrieval. Why not?

 
20 Throbbing Pole Of Love - with Vanessa Sport 15m, 7 Good
Haha! Tough, fingery warm up! Especially in the hot and humid conditions.

 
14 Pie Man - with Vanessa Sport 15m
Hardest moves ever for a 14 or 15, getting onto the wall to clip the 3rd bolt. Unless you're a giant, but the bolt is nowhere near any good holds...

 
Sat 20th Jan 2018 - Point Perpendicular
Bayside The Deeps Area
19 The Deeps - with Paul Frothy Thomson Trad 25m Very Good
Great line, minus the chossy start. The position on the arete was amazing!

 
Sat 20th Jan 2018 - Point Perpendicular
Bayside Werner Burner Area
20 21 Werner Burner - with Paul Frothy Thomson Sport 25m, 7 Very Good
Great little route, with nice features the whole way. Not 21 though, its 2 grades easier than just Technical.

The Grotto Cliffline P.C.
22 Fukdifino - with Vanessa Sport 15m Good
Not the best warm up but pretty fun.

 
25 Bachelor Busted Balling Bimbo - with Vanessa Sport 20m Very Good
Awesome route and harder than Trigga. I am unfit and thought i had no chance, as my wrist hurt on all the open hand holds but i milked the rests and managed it on the third go. Vanessa also got it in 3.

 
Sun 6th Aug 2017 - Nowra
Bomaderry Creek Rosies
21 Fist Full of Steel - with Vanessa and Fang Sport 12m, 4 Very Good

25 Escape From the Drilling Fields (Trigga Nigga) - with Christian Lopez, Aristotle Sport 20m Classic
Yep, its a classic. Misread the crux on the onsight and ticked on the second shot. Glad to get this done before retiring the wrist.

 
Sat 24th Jun 2017 - Nowra
Bomaderry Creek Rosies
25 Mega Mac - with Vanessa Sport 15m, 8 Classic
Managed to repeat this after failing at Slut Whipping and while Vanessa had draws on. Lots of pain but i got there, just...

 
21 Fist Full of Steel - with Claire Sport 12m, 4 Very Good
Really quite good but i had to improvise a little and climb it differently to how i wanted to, as some holds hurt a lot.

 
Sat 24th Jun 2017 - Nowra
Bomaderry Creek Mortein Wall
20 Bug Itch (Bitch Itch) Sport 12m, 5 Very Good
Always good fun. Warm up to test the wrist. Only one hold actually hurt on this.

 
Mon 12th Jun 2017 - Nowra
Bomaderry Creek Cheesedale Cheddar Choss Wall
22 Uncertainty Pleasure - with Vanessa Sport 8m, 5 Classic
Warm up. Guide says this goes to the first anchor, yet on here it says the second anchor. Which is it?

 
24 Gas Krankinstation - with Vanessa Sport 10m, 7 Classic
Got to the last bolt on the flash attempt but grabbed the wrong holds. Cleaned it up but was pretty tired at the end, on the second shot.

Trucky to onsight but not too bad once you find the holds.

 
Sat 3rd Jun 2017 - Nowra
Thompson's Point Sloth Area

The Grotto Cliffline The Grotto Proper
23 Amazon Queens In the Avocado Jungles Of Death - with Vanessa Sport 20m Classic
Yeah, this route is so good! Nice to clean up the old dog but it took me another 2 shots today, making it 4 all up (2 shots 3 years ago). I reckon this is harder than Koala and Zimbabalooba.

 
Sun 30th Apr 2017 - Nowra
The Grotto Cliffline Gonads Wall

Really awesome climb at the grade! Awesome features, good rock, fun!

Lasseter's The Mullock Heap
23 Spot Gold - with Matt Brooks, Vanessa n Jess Sport 13m, 8 Very Good
Super hard to onsight with no chalk but not too bad once you can see the holds. Broke a jug off the top on the second and took a big fall and got it on the third

 
19 Goldielynx - with Matt Brooks, Vanessa n Jess Sport 14m, 8 Very Good
Good, fun link up which still gets you a little pumped.

Sat 23rd Jul 2016 - Nowra
The Grotto Cliffline Gonads Wall
22 Violent Flemm - with Vanessa Sport 22m Very Good
Another great route, with fun crimping and some nice jugs to go with them. Would love to have climbed a lot more today but too much stuffing around between routes...

 
23 Bondage and Discipline - with Vanessa Sport 23m Very Good
This wall didn't look very good but of the 2 routes i did, the climbing was great! Nice crimpy fun, right up my alley!

 
Sat 23rd Jul 2016 - Nowra
The Grotto Cliffline Iceman Wall
19 Jester - with Rob Medlicott Sport 20m Good
Pretty thin off the ground, then not bad.

 
19 Worm On A Razor - with Vanessa Sport 30m Very Good
This was awesome and scary and we only went to the last bolt, due to not being able to see an anchor and not having atcs with us for a top belay and rappel. Does it have an anchor, or is it a top out?

 
Sat 23rd Jul 2016 - Nowra
The Grotto Cliffline The Grotto Proper

The Grotto Cliffline The Grotto Proper
24 How Much Can A Koala Bear? - with lloyd wishart Sport 25m Classic
Would've been an onsight, had Kim not put the first four draws on and come down. No beta and placed draws for the rest of the route. Friggin ace face climbing, felt great! Best of the three i did today, in my opinion.

 
24 Zimbabalooba - with lloyd wishart Sport 20m Very Good
Third and last of my trifecta of 24 flashes today. Started each one of them with the belief but not expectation that i wcould get them. Feeling strong at the moment. Another great route and probably would be classic if the bolts were better placed. Thanks Lloyd for putting the draws up!

 
24 Metal Rain - with lloyd wishart Sport 25m Very Good
First flash of the day and didn't expect to get it but with draws on and crux beta, i pushed through to the anchor, yew!

 
17 L'Arch - with lloyd wishart Sport 16m, 5 Very Good
Warm up, coooooooold!

 
Sun 23rd Nov 2014 - Point Perpendicular
Seaside Windjammer Wall
22 Shooting The Breeze - with Vanessa and Brooksy Sport 23m, 10 Very Good
Hardest route of the day and managed the onsight but not easily. Great route

 
17 Grey Mist - with Vanessa and Brooksy Trad 30m Classic
Yep, this was the perect way to finish up ourfirst PP trip. Followed Matt up this and it was the standout pitch of the day (relative to its grade, although i think its a sandbag). Great climbing up a really nice face, in great position. Couple of finger locks, handjams, laybacks and some funky pockets to finish. The cool change had arrived and the wind almost pushed me onto the ledge at the top

 
Sun 23rd Nov 2014 - Point Perpendicular
Bayside Hello Dolly Wall
18 Hello Dolly - with Vanessa and Brooksy Sport 30m, 9 Very Good
This route was a really cool intro to Point Perp. Again a bit spoogey but climb really well.
