Lost & Found Wall | ||||||
17 | ★ Evolution - with Brendon Flanagan, Matt Short | 9m, 3 | ★ Good | |||
17 at the start but then drops to about a 14. Some tricky crimpers but this route definitely favors the long.
|
||||||
15 | ★ The Meaning Of Life - with Brendon Flanagan, Matt Short | 11m, 4 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Best climb on the wall. Lovely slab climbing at the start with some delicate finger work, then it finishes well. Solid grade throughout
|
||||||
12 | ★ Hillsong Brainwash Syndrome - with Brendon Flanagan, Matt Short | 11m, 3 | ★ Good | |||
Funky start and then some great jug filled climbing. Watch some of the thin ledges and holds. I can see this route refining with time.
|
||||||
16 | Down and Out in the Bible Belt - with Brendon Flanagan, Matt Short | 10m, 3 | Average | |||
I see the vision on this one and with some more traffic i'm sure it will be a more satisfying route. Quite a stiff 16. Thanks for bolting it Rod. I look forward to seeing your other projects opened

|
||||||
18 | ★★ Woken Furies - with Brendon Flanagan, Matt Short | 10m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Very worthy of the stars! Lots of fun with great holds. Was over far to quickly!
|
||||||
16 | ★ Intelligent Design - with Brendon Flanagan, Matt Short | 9m, 3 | ★ Good | |||
The starting moves make the climb then it drops down to about a 14. Fun problem solving from the mantle through the scoop.
|
||||||
15 | ★ Kodak Moment | 15m | ★★ Very Good | |||
A fantastic crack with plenty of hand and fist jamming. I'll be back to lead this another time.

Rosa Gully Rosa Gully south side | ||||||
20 | ★★ Funky Moves - with Brendon Flanagan | 30m, 12 | ★★★ Mega Classic | |||
The name says it all - Super fun moves from bottom to top. Each stage of this 40m adventure is diverse and challengeing, with each rewarding move well worth the occasional hand full of sand.
Highly Recommended!
|

Fri 28th Nov 2014 - The Balkans | ||||||
The Frontline The Corridor Boulders | ||||||
V4 | ★★ The Bilge | 3m | ★★ Very Good | |||

Fri 28th Nov 2014 - The Balkans | ||||||
The Frontline Frontline Left Hand Side | ||||||
V3 V3 R | ★★ Milo on the Rocks | 3m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Excellent problem. I love that space above the solid ledge where you have to cling to a crimper.
|
||||||
V0 | ★ Frontrow | 3m | ★ Good | |||
cool little problem. having a long reach helps
|
||||||
V0 | ★ Bangers | 3m | ★ Good | |||

Thu 27th Nov 2014 - The Fear Factory | ||||||
Kennedy Wall and Beyond | ||||||
V4 | ★★ Chemical Warfare | 4m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Yeah! A thorough clean of the top does the trick. Great moves up the middle to a reasonably ballsy topout
|
||||||
V2 | ★★ Give Me Convenience or Give Me Death | 4m | ★★ Very Good | |||
curse the dirt! a better line once cleaned
|
||||||
Thu 27th Nov 2014 - The Fear Factory | ||||||
The Asteroid Belt | ||||||
V2 V1 | ★★ Fear Factor 1 | 4m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Awesome Features! Much more of a V2 from the side pull up. That top out is pretty solid. Had to down climb, run around and clean like crazy for the send.
|
||||||
Sun 2nd Nov 2014 - Blues Point | ||||||
Life Aquatic Wall | ||||||
V1 | ★ Get Down Low And Go Go Go! - with Brendon | 6m | ★ Good | |||
Quite core loving at the end trying to keep the feet off the ground.
|
||||||
V1 | Crossing The Void - with Brendon | 5m | Average | |||
Not hugely exciting. I can understand the vision crossing the void, but the sandy nature of this may keep me from doing it again.
|
||||||
V2 | ★ Smell the Roses - with Brendon | 4m | Average | |||
Big holds for the most part. Didn't have to perform a rose to move through this problem, so i'll have to go back and have another turn with one.
|
||||||
V3 | FA ★ Gold Amongst The Grains - with Brendon | 6m | ★ Good | |||
A fun alternate ending to ELAP. Pulling up on that thin crimper is a test of ones nerve.
|
||||||
V4 | ★★ ELAP - with Brendon | 3m | ★★★ Classic | |||
V6 | FA ★ Dislocation Irritation - with Brendon | 7m | ★★ Very Good | |||
A grand vision from Matt Short. Its enough of a challenge to get from that sharp letter box to the ledge, so it certainly keeps the pump going to continue power through to the end of the wall. committing, burly fest!
|
||||||
V2 | ★ I Can See The Clock But I Don't Know What The Time Is - with Brendon | 12m | ★ Good | |||
A really nice warm up traverse.
|
||||||
Sun 2nd Nov 2014 - Blues Point | ||||||
Peeking Patch | ||||||
V3 | ★★ Saved By Ents - with Brendon Flanagan | 4m | ★★★ Classic | |||
This is all about the friction and a good dose of high stepping. It was fun to show Brendon the awesomeness of this problem
|
||||||
Sun 26th Oct 2014 - Blues Point | ||||||
Kung Fu Captin Wall | ||||||
V1 | ★ Easy Up | 3m | ★ Good | |||

always a fun start!
|
||||||

A fun slapping traverse. another good warm up

Sun 26th Oct 2014 - Blues Point | ||||||
Peeking Patch | ||||||
V3 | ★★ Coal Train Blues | 5m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Took three attempts to rework this beautiful. This has one committing side pull on an iron crimp! always lots of fun to send
|
||||||
V6 | ★★★ Pockets of Power | 4m | ★★★ Mega Classic | |||
ohhh yea!!! such an awesome problem! I managed to stick the third pocket on my second attempt today but the sucker was full of grit! definitely needs more traffic. After a clean up top and in the pocket it only took 3 more attempts. Super fun challenging problem!
|
||||||
V3 | ★★ Saved By Ents | 4m | ★★★ Classic | |||
An usual problem for this area. More like Monkey Magic than any other. Slopers and some interesting body moments makes this a must do almost every time I boulder here
|
||||||
Sun 28th Sep 2014 - Tambourine Bay | ||||||
Main Crag | ||||||
16 | ★ Tambourine Dream | 12m | ★ Good | |||
Not worth the star and more of a high 16. Still worth it though.
|
||||||
18 | ★ K3 Variant 1 | 8m | ★★ Very Good | |||
One of the better routes here. Lots of fun. Great moves. Star material
|
||||||
18 | ★★ K3 Variant 2 | 10m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Same as variant 1. Fantastic climbing! Worth a repeat
|

An old favorite of mine. Very balancey with some trusting moves
|
||||||
V0 | ★ Letterbox Crack | 3m | ★ Good | |||

|
||||||
V2 | ★ Practice Your Mantle | 2m | ★ Good | |||
A super fun, challenging mantle
|
||||||
V2 | ★★ Grasping For The Wind | 4m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Love it. Great balance and trust. A crag classic
|
||||||
V3 V2 | ★★ Rock The Boat | 4m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Much better than it looks. Fun low traverse to technical finish. Always a favorite more of a V3.
|
||||||
V2 V3 | ★ Crimp And Save | 3m | ★★ Very Good | |||
This problem still gets me thinking. Contrived but worth it. Best starting move at the crag. More of a V2
|
||||||
V0 | ★★ Perfect Flake | 3m | ★ Good |
