Main Crag
	18	Ecopoint ★ Monopoly - with cedric	Sport 10m, 3		Josephine Roper
First came down this end to belay Cedric on his proji but were repelled by a veritable army of leeches (he has been avoiding them by top rope soloing and standing on a rock in between)
Sun 31st Dec 2023 - GFC
Tiger Wall
	23	★★ Arêtica - with Chuck, Kempo	Sport 15m, 8		Jimbo
It was way too warm to try this properly.
Sat 23rd Dec 2023 - GFC
Tiger Wall
	24	★★ Darkest Arts - with Sarah Anne	Sport 16m, 8		Michael Wilson
Didn't get far on this, the nice pocket after the lip was a little too painful to pull on, no go for me!
Sat 23rd Dec 2023 - Dural
Lower Teir
	19	★ 0's & 1's — 2 attempts - with Rubirosemorgan	Sport 8m, 3		Softboi_core
Spicy start, could not find any hand holds just above the first bolt. Pretty generous feet
Wed 13th Dec 2023 - Berowra
Ladder of Gloom Area
	14	The Mantle Machine - with Ben Anthonisz	Mixed trad 12m, 2		Eliezer
No idea what's going on with this. Just feels like the 19
Sun 3rd Dec 2023 - Berowra
Positive Ape Factor Area
	22	★ Flake Thing	Sport 12m, 5	★★ Very Good	Michael Velsigne
Surprisingly hard start. Then I was blinded by the sunshine I couldn't see where to go at all. Probably one to get on early before the sun is ridiculously in your eyes.
Sat 18th Nov 2023 - Bangor West
	19	★★ Fixed Steps	Sport 10m, 3	★★★ Classic	Tom Bes
Not as strong as I remember
Sun 12th Nov 2023 - The Woolwash

Sat 11th Nov 2023 - Alfords Point
Alfords Point Main Area
	20	★★ Gushing Shins - with Taka, Chris	Sport 13m, 4	★ Good	Softboi_core
Very first move is my favourite bit of this climb. So fun Move above the third last bolt cannot figure, aimed for a pocket dynamically. It was a bad idea, static worked out well on later attempt. Also, lives up to the name- got my right shin on the sharp ledge RIP
Fri 3rd Nov 2023 - Bonnet Bay
	18	★ Mowgli - with David Brancalion	Sport 10m, 3		Softboi_core
Not my vibe. The good holds run out under the ledge and felt super reachy to make it past the crux. Shit shallow crimps
Mon 23rd Oct 2023 - The Stables
The Stables
	22	★★ Thoroughbred	Sport 11m, 5		Raphael Falque
End of session, did not feel confident pulling on the iron flake, retreated to finish on Mofasta
Sat 21st Oct 2023 - Wahroonga
Browns Road Courtyard Area
	17 ~20	★ CB - with Ben Anthonisz, Kelly Ristovsky	Trad 10m		Anthony Mackay
seems pretty sandbagged for a crack beginner
Thu 19th Oct 2023 - Earlwood
	18	★ Red Rattler - with Tom	Sport 9m, 3		Softboi_core
Just kept falling off the sloper before bumping it higher which was pretty higher up than reach, on the right of third bolt. High gravity

Sun 17th Sep 2023 - Lom crag
	25	★ Homes Calling - with Cédric	Sport 10m, 6	★ Good	Josephine Roper
good fun traversing but the moves in the roof itself seem very tough. Might just keep going on the 24 next time.
	25	★★ Bucks Party - with Cédric	Sport 15m, 7		Josephine Roper
just checking the start is not short person friendly lol
	18	★ Underpants on the Outside - with Cédric	Sport 10m, 3		Josephine Roper
start is fun but getting to the anchors is indeed hard if you're short, and the rock is a bit crap up there, just didn't feel inspired.
Sat 9th Sep 2023 - Earlwood
	25	★ Fascination Street	Sport 9m, 5		Luke Marinaki
Mon 28th Aug 2023 - Alfords Point

	29	Ecopoint ★★★ Tiger Style	Sport 28m, 13		Josephine Roper
Belay tick for Cédric's send (putting the draws on! But he's put a lot of work into it before). I have fondled the slab on the way down from Anticoagulant... it ain't for me!
Sat 29th Jul 2023 - Berowra

Mon 5th Jun 2023 - Vaucluse
Rosa Gully Rosa Gully south side
	20	★★ Funky Moves - with Christian Pilarcik	Sport 30m, 12		John
Slippery above the cave. Pumped out trying to get purchase on holds and feet that were grippy last time, took quite the whip.
Sat 3rd Jun 2023 - Bonnet Bay
	27	★★ Heavy Haulage - with Dmitry Linkov	Sport 15m, 6		Den
Yep, the first crux is desperate as advertised
Thu 1st Jun 2023 - Alfords Point
Alfords Point Main Area
	16 ~18	MacGyver - with Nihilist83	Sport 8m, 3	Average	Emanuela
Horrible route, horrible traverse (and I love traverse). Sketchy for being an 16. Super hard to clean.
Sun 28th May 2023 - Alfords Point
Alfords Point Main Area

	23 Hard	★★★ Tilt	Sport 15m		Bert
Sat 20th May 2023 - The Cathedral
Main Crag
	24	★★ Expectorant	Sport 15m, 4		Michael Wilson
Was breezing up and feeling great until the crux moves. Tried a few ways, but ended up breaking a small chip off a foothold (still plenty of it left, and not sure how useful it is). Bailed soon after.
Fri 28th Apr 2023 - Elanora Heights
Main Wall
	23	★★★ Caveman	Sport 22m, 10	★★★ Classic	linna
Fri 28th Apr 2023 - Bluebell
	25	★★ Darling Buds of Mayhem - with Aaron Abela	Sport 15m, 5		Timothy Brunette
Snake at 3rd draw, makes for a nice hand jam. Didn’t really realise until I fell and was going to start working 😱
	23	★★ Bitch'n - with Aaron Abela	Sport 12m, 5		Timothy Brunette
Wet holds above 3rds draw, too slippery
Wed 26th Apr 2023 - Berowra

Scary af dyno
Wed 26th Apr 2023 - Bonnet Bay
	24	★★★ Lean Beef - with Griefbacon, David	Sport 15m, 6	★★ Very Good	Raphael Falque
The route has a consistent style with big moves from the start, it is really fun, but the difficulty is highly dependent on the climber's height. Got to the third bolt, then struggled on the first dynamic move (feels possible, but I have things to learn), after the cave, the long move is impossible without a dyno. Another big dynamic move is needed after, and could not stick it.
Sun 16th Apr 2023 - Elanora Heights
Heist Wall
	19	★★ Everything But The Kitchen Sink!	Sport 12m, 7	★ Good	Marcos Canales
hardish start, and finish. Great fun !

Thought it was a 16, was not
Wed 15th Feb 2023 - Bondi
The Main Wall
	12	★★ Sydney Sea Cliff Traverse - North Bondi - with Pete Jordan	Trad 1500m	★★★ Classic	John
If you go north to south, you might explore a number of sketchy ledges until they thin out. Maybe you'll try to clip some barnacled chains, but they'll disintegrate in your hands... If you start at the Bondi end, it's obvious when to rope up and where to go.
Sun 12th Feb 2023 - Bangor West
	13	★ Nana in the dark	Sport 8m, 3	★ Good	Marcus Karozis
Sat 4th Feb 2023 - Berowra

Main Crag
	25	★★★ In the Groove - with Tom Bes	Sport 15m, 6		Jake Delaney
saw some recent activity and I was inspired. (Read: someone else cleaned the sand off yay). As first climb I planned to dog it trying to warm up. Turns out I needed to aid it to get anywhere. Something to come back for when I'm in a sport climbing mode at the theej (which is a rarity). After our shutdown the heavens opened and the glorious red triangle frog took to the trees, presenting a cathedral phenomenon I had never seen before! But then I got rocked by leeches and played host to one the whole drive home. Rollercoaster of a day with minimal climbing but many mems
Sun 6th Nov 2022 - The Cathedral

Cool rock features. Didn't want to sacrifice my skin to this today. Maybe next time
	V5	★★★ Sloper-Dan Milosevic	Boulder 5m		Tom Bes
It was never gonna live up to the huge hype. But I was definitely underwhelmed. Didn't really inspire me to keep trying it. The pincer movement was way cooler in my opinion. But maybe the rest of it is awesome! just not my thing? Don't let me yuk your yum. But do try pincer movement!

One of my favourite boulders ever. #changethename. Please let's all agree to call this beautiful climb something better. Def a grade or so harder than the left one
