Thompson's Point Orca Area
19 The Money or the Box Sport 25m, 6 Don't Bother
Sketchy. An acquired taste perhaps.

 
18 Orca Sport 25m, 8 Classic
Such a good climb.

 
Fri 7th Jan 2022 - Nowra
Thompson's Point The Grease Cave
26 Inflatey Katey Sport 12m Very Good
This climb became much more enjoyable once I got the right sequence. A good one for when it’s hot and wet.

Thu 29th Apr 2021 - Nowra
Thompson's Point The Grease Cave
27 Love Bug Sport 10m Classic
Such a good route! My favorite of all the 7's in nowra, so far... Very approachable. Apart from the crux move. Which was a bit desperate for me.

 
26 Lost Weekends Sport 15m Good
Appalling onsight attempt. Dogged every move. Followed by an unexpected send second shot. I liked the moves after the break.

 
Thu 29th Apr 2021 - Nowra
Thompson's Point The Very Nice Wall
24 Pale Yellow Underwear Sport 10m, 5 Classic
Actually climbs really well. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

20 Not As Steep As Some Sport 8m Good
17 16 Petit Miam Sport 8m, 4 Good
Tough. Probs harder than 17.

 
23 Speed Boat Wankers Sport 25m Classic
Definitely the full package. Very intimidating up to the awesome headwall.

V5 Pack Your Guns Boulder 2m Good
Nice hard one-mover.

 
Fri 1st Nov 2019 - Nowra
The Grotto Cliffline P.C.
27 Hard Candy Sport 18m Very Good
Nice climbing up to the last problem, that final move is tricky even in isolation. A fairly unpleasant and very committing sequence. Probably won't jump back on it for a bit.

 
26 Shocked Sport 18m Classic
Primo conditions, albeit humid and close to 30. Such a good route, always liked punting off the final boulder problem. If the first boulder problem went better this would be a 4 star route.

 
Sat 21st Sep 2019 - Nowra
Bomaderry Creek Lot 33 Bouldering
V8 Nappy Nuggets Boulder 4m
V5 No Discernible Graffiti Boulder 4m
Might be getting closer to this... maybe.

Sat 7th Sep 2019 - Nowra
Bomaderry Creek Lot 33 Bouldering
V7 Nappy Nuggets Traverse Boulder 4m Classic
Desperately went down 1st shot today, once I figured out I needed to shift my left hand 10 degrees on the crux move. Climbing minutiae... awesome climb.

 
V5 V4 Unknowingly Indirect Boulder 4m
Fri 23rd Aug 2019 - Nowra
Bomaderry Creek Lot 33 Bouldering
V7 Nappy Nuggets Traverse Boulder 4m Very Good
All the moves done. Psyched. Great line.

 
V6 Unknown Nuggets Boulder 5m Very Good
First shot, after trying 'the move' in isolation. Wasnt sure I'd have the span for this one. Definitely want more than 5'8 for this to go. Pretty sweet climb.

 
Sun 18th Aug 2019 - Nowra
Bomaderry Creek Lot 33 Bouldering
V6 Sexy Rexy Boulder 4m Very Good
A lot safer than it looks. Possibly soft, comparing it to the 4's.

 
Fri 16th Aug 2019 - Nowra

29 Frosty Sport 15m Classic
Wow...

 
Fri 16th Aug 2019 - Nowra

V5 XD Boulder 4m Classic
I thought this was sick. Took me so many goes to get the beta sussed, went down easily... once I had it dialed. Really enjoyed the process.

 
Sun 4th Aug 2019 - Nowra
Bomaderry Creek Scattered Crags Choc-A-Block
25 Moist Vaginas Sport 18m, 8 Classic
Carlos set me up for the flash. Cleaned, chalked and sussed all the beta. Awesome route. Is probably mega, but I'm not too fond of monos. Definitely one of the best 5's in Nowra. Could do with a rename.

 
24 Stiff Dicks Sport 18m, 9 Very Good
Great line. Mantles aplenty. Would be classic if it didn't wander so much.

 
Sat 27th Jul 2019 - Stanwell Tops

23 Blood Sport 15m, 6 Very Good
Such sustained insecurity

 
17 18 Soul Searching Sport 18m, 9 Good

What a battle!

 
20 The Big Wank Club Sport 15m, 10 Good
Bring your best footwork

 
18 MooserWirt Sport 15m, 6 Very Good
Felt like Being back at the blueys. Nails.

 
17 Little Wank Club Sport 13m, 7 Good
20 21 Dead Pool Sport 12m, 8 Good
Mucked up the opening sequence, which added a few grades.

 
23 Warrior of Light Sport 18m, 8 Classic
Possibly my finest hour

 
19 Who's the Clown Sport 25m, 10 Very Good
First 4/5 was the most enjoyable climbing at the crag. But that final crux took a bit of psych. Maybe I went off route...

 
20 Handful Sport 18m, 5 Classic
Really good

 
18 19 Chain-saw Sport 19m, 6 Good
So sketchy going to the second run out bolt.

 
Fri 22nd Feb 2019 - Nowra
Bomaderry Creek South Central
25 Scum Sport 10m Good
Didn't spark joy, but it's good to work on your anti style every now and then. Straight out of a gym.

The Grotto Cliffline The Grotto Proper
24 Abdulmajid Sport 22m Good
I'm actually starting to really appreciate this climb. The mid crux bolt placement has done a lot to ruin this climb. Good sequences. One very hard dead point move.

24 Zimbabalooba Sport 20m Classic
23 Amazon Queens In the Avocado Jungles Of Death Sport 20m Very Good

Bomaderry Creek The Mushroom Souwest Side
23 Pandora's Hairy Box Sport 10m, 5 Classic
My favorite so far. Slab start, techy middle and spicy finish. Was almost too pumped to latch the final jug.

 
23 Pandora's Hairy Box Sport 10m, 5 Classic
Tricked by the final hold! Feet cut and I flew off the sloper.

 
22 Mushaboom Sport 10m, 5 Very Good
Once you pull on it's on. Pumpy and fun.

 
22 Dougie Bag Sport 10m, 5 Very Good
Boulder problem at the crux seemed a little stiff for a 22.

 
20 Soldier Boy Sport 10m, 4 Good
Got a bit lost at the crux.

 
Sun 29th Jul 2018 - Nowra
The Grotto Cliffline P.C.
26 Church Of Christ Sport 15m Good
Can't do the throw with the second draw clipped. Got the beta dialed now. Time for some red points.

 
Sun 29th Jul 2018 - Nowra
Thompson's Point The Pocketed Wall
25 Butts Of Beef Sport 10m Good
Oh my god. I almost blew clipping the third draw. This climb felt very dangerous. Cool upper crux.

Warmer

24 Hide The Salami Sport 10m Good
So crimpy. Good though. Sandbag.

 
Fri 29th Jun 2018 - Nowra
The Grotto Cliffline P.C.
28 Brother (Brother In A Body Bag) Sport 17m Classic
Easy climbing to two hardish but not too hard cruxes. Fun moves though. Was really wet today, made the final crux tricky. Stoked to get to the anchors.

 
25 Escape From the Drilling Fields (Trigga Nigga) Sport 20m Mega Classic
Warm up.

 
Fri 22nd Jun 2018 - Nowra
The Grotto Cliffline P.C.
26 Shocked Sport 18m Very Good
Got the upper crux first go today. So happy! Linking everything together seems insane. Maybe one day...

 
25 Bachelor Busted Balling Bimbo Sport 20m Classic
Done. And the trio is finished! Time to step it up.

 
25 Bachelor Busted Balling Bimbo Sport 20m Classic
Sussed. Getting used to this style now.

The Grotto Cliffline P.C.
25 Thank You, Come Again Sport 8m Average
Couldn't reach the big pocket... but went easily after that.

 
26 Turn Your Eyes Insane Sport 16m Very Good
Damn these two 26's are nails. This one had some cool moves, but I could barely clip some of the draws. Maybe I should try them when I'm fresh.

 
26 Shocked Sport 18m Very Good
This climb is pretty rad! It's a shame that final boulder problem is way harder than the rest of the climb. I'm really hesitant to latch that sharp jug on the dyno, don't want to deglove my hand again. Commitment issues.

 
Fri 4th May 2018 - Nowra
The Grotto Cliffline P.C.
26 Church Of Christ Sport 15m Good
OMG... went bolt to bolt, cannot imagine ever getting this. This was unrelenting, felt absolutely battered afterwards.

 
25 Bachelor's Ball Sport 18m Classic
I like it more than TN now, went surprisingly easy today. Awesome moves, I really like the technical first crux.

 
25 Escape From the Drilling Fields (Trigga Nigga) Sport 20m Mega Classic
Warm up

 
Sun 29th Apr 2018 - Nowra
The Grotto Cliffline P.C.
25 Bachelor's Ball Sport 18m Classic
Way harder than TN, sort of my anti style. But awesome, really cool sequences. Pretty desperate in sections. And possibly the highest collection of bad holds on a single climb I've come across. Pretty psyched to get it.

 
25 Escape From the Drilling Fields (Trigga Nigga) Sport 20m Mega Classic
Harder when wet.

 
25 Escape From the Drilling Fields (Trigga Nigga) Sport 20m Mega Classic
Awesome.

 
22 Fukdifino Sport 15m Very Good
It is a good warm up.

22 Truck stop Party Girl Sport 22m Classic
This is what's it's about.

 
23 After the Rapture Sport 15m, 8 Very Good
Cool moves, hard for the grade. Happy to have the beta, its a meandering route.

 
Fri 13th Apr 2018 - New Nowra - Braidwood Road
The Gold Mine Fernville
25 Powder Burns Sport 20m Good
Super inspiring to look at... not to climb unfortunately. Ugly climbing, moves were mediocre.
