	V1	★★ Tom's pee corner	Boulder 2m		Alec Landstra
Actually kinda nice
	V7	★★★ Cruel Sea	Boulder 8m		Alec Landstra
Good extension to Aquarius. Glad I sussed a kneebar before the topout. I was pumped
	V6	★★★ Aquarius	Boulder 7m		Alec Landstra
One of the best V6s around! Couldn't hold the swing on the flash
	V5	★★ Right to Left to Topout	Boulder 6m		Alec Landstra
Not as cool as aquarius, but still good
	V5	★★ Shrimpy Waters	Boulder 6m		Alec Landstra
First go, but had done the exit before. Hand jam makes this a lot easier than it looks
	V4	★★ Left To Right	Boulder 3m		Alec Landstra
I found this harder than right to left
	V4	★★ Dead Calm	Boulder 3m		Alec Landstra
Great boulder
	V2	★ Diving into Shallow Water	Boulder 2m		Alec Landstra
Top out a little engaging

	V5	★★ Shrimpy Waters - with Rak, Jack Leerson, Lizzie Stratford, Jason	Boulder 6m	★★ Very Good	Robert Varno
Hand jam beta is king
	V5	★★ Shrimpy Waters — 5 attempts - with Jack Leerson, Jason, Robert Varno, Alex Holroyd	Boulder 6m	★★★ Classic	Rak
The hand jam start definitely gets it another star in my opinion! Best outdoor boulder so far!

	V4	★★ Dead Calm - with Alberto, Nanami Kato	Boulder 3m	★★ Very Good	Tom New
Pumpy and fun sequence.
	V2	★ Diving into Shallow Water — 3 attempts - with Alberto, Nanami Kato	Boulder 2m	★★ Very Good	Tom New
Felt very hard for a V2, but that's probably due to how long it took me to find the beta.
Sun 8th Oct 2023 - Black Cave
	V5 Hard	★★ Shrimpy Waters - with Delia	Boulder 6m	★★ Very Good	Alexander Lopes
Was able to static first move with left heel cam

	V10	★★★ The Plunge - with Ace Villapando, James McMaster	Boulder		Marco Oshiro
First sesh felt pretty good. Cam goes in isolation but getting it from the start is hard. More work needed on the cut move as well. Excited!
Sun 17th Sep 2023 - Black Cave
	V5 Hard	★★ Right to Left to Topout — 3 attempts	Boulder 6m	★★ Very Good	Marco Oshiro
Another good line at the classic beach cave. Easier than Aquarius but not by much, personally. Definitely more challenging for the short. https://www.instagram.com/reel/CxSc61FPmPc/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

	V7	★★★ Cruel Sea — 3 attempts - with Den	Boulder 8m	★★★ Classic	Bruno Martins
Totally underestimated it 🤣🤣 It was my goal for the day, but the transition where it goes from Aquarius to left hand side is brutal, will come back for it.
	V5	★★ Right To Left — 5 attempts - with Den	Boulder 6m		Bruno Martins
Made some good progress, but it was towards the end of the session and sun was hitting pretty hard as well. Will comeback for this one.
	V2	★ Lots of Seamen — 3 attempts - with Den	Boulder 2m		Bruno Martins
Took me a few tries, but got it =)
	V1	★ Cave Party - with Den	Boulder 2m		Bruno Martins
Warmup
	V10	★★★ The Plunge - with Den	Boulder	★★★ Classic	Bruno Martins
It felt pretty cool working a few moves on this climb with Den It'll be interesting to come back every few months and check progress. Awesome problem.
	V5	★★ Right To Left - with Bruno Martins	Boulder 6m	★★ Very Good	Den
Closing account on an old dog
	V6	★★★ Aquarius - with Bruno Martins	Boulder 7m	★★★ Classic	Den
I had no chance today

	V6	★★★ Aquarius	Boulder 7m	★★★ Classic	Michael Velsigne
Underestimated how beta intensive this would be after multiple runs on The Plunge. Might have to come back just to get the tick on this in it's own session. Really interesting climbing for sure!
	V10	★★★ The Plunge	Boulder	★★★ Classic	Michael Velsigne
Rough, holding the tension before the launch for the jug rail is definitely a work in progress. I feel like this could go in just a few short sessions if I keep my feet off the ground.

	V7	★★★ Cruel Sea - with Stephen Rawls, Loz Moore, Pat	Boulder 8m	★★★ Classic	Kenny Hadiwinata
A lot less sessions than Aquarius ha.

	V6	★★★ Aquarius — 7 attempts - with toby_xw	Boulder 7m	★★★ Classic	Bruno Martins
Pretty stoked to have sent this in one sesh. Looking at the moves at the start it didn't feel possible, but broke it down into sections, Toby helped with some beta and managed to link it all together. The only thing is that my skin isn't liking this outdoor bouldering thingy haha
	V5	★★ Right to Left to Topout — 2 attempts - with toby_xw	Boulder 6m		Bruno Martins
Tried at the end of the session, need to figure it out a move in the middle section.
	V4	★★ Dead Calm	Boulder 3m		Bruno Martins
Climbs nice

	V10 ~V8	★★★ The Plunge — 3 attempts	Boulder	★★★ Classic	Angus Fuller
Felt very chill, but still a really sick line. Only had 20 minutes so was glad to get it done. Didn’t have any pads or spotters but just did it over a couple of jumpers which added to the fun of it. Keen to come back and try the two “V11s” that extend from it, seem like they should go real easy.
	V4	★★ Dead Calm	Boulder 3m	★★ Very Good	Tom C
Crushed.
Tue 25th Apr 2023 - Black Cave
	V10	★★★ The Plunge	Boulder		Dylan Hill
Heel toe cam pretty hard with clown feet, might have to commit to terrifying dyno. All other moves pretty chill
	V6	★★★ Aquarius	Boulder 7m		Dylan Hill
Pretty cool, felt stiff or I'm bad. Eats skin.
	V5	★★ Shrimpy Waters	Boulder 6m		Dylan Hill
Handjam is sick
	V1	★ Cave Party	Boulder 2m		Dylan Hill

Absolutely crushed.

	V6	★★★ Aquarius	Boulder 7m		Eson
Couldn't recall any of the moves from when I was here last, luckily I had awesome beta sprayers cheering me on. What a spectacular Sydney classic!

	V6	★★★ Aquarius - with Hyakatan	Boulder 7m		Owen Rodley
Good session. Got the first three moves or so, fairly solid.
	V4	★★ Dead Calm — 5 attempts - with Hyakatan	Boulder 3m		Owen Rodley
Beta: left heel in on the outside to throw right hand up to the pocket. Then really stretch with awkward feet for the left hand sidepull jug. Finished from partway in. Then fell off the topout on the send go. Then couldn't get back to high point.

Campus fun
	V5	★★ Shrimpy Waters	Boulder 6m		Maurício Chino
Felt impossible until it didn't. Hand jam beta and high left heel is the way to go! 5 is fair at my height (1.80m)
Thu 19th Jan 2023 - Black Cave
	V6	★★★ Aquarius	Boulder 7m	★★★ Classic	Jarrod
End of night lap, stoked to repeat this
	V10	★★★ The Plunge	Boulder		Jarrod

	V5	★★ Right To Left	Boulder 6m	★★★ Classic	David Shin
Deserves a classic status. Climbs really well and sits in such an awesome spot. Can't ask for more honestly! https://www.instagram.com/p/CnS3Ekvs1xr/
	V4	★★ Dead Calm	Boulder 3m	★★ Very Good	David Shin
Great holds and even better views! https://www.instagram.com/p/CnIuqZEN7nZ/

Fri 16th Dec 2022 - Black Cave
	V6	★★★ Aquarius	Boulder 7m	★★★ Classic	Jasmine Johnson
Got about 70% of this in my first session. Conditions were great and so was my crew! Keen to give this another go soon.
	V2	★ Diving into Shallow Water	Boulder 2m	★ Good	Jasmine Johnson
Good practice for sketchy cave top-out.
Sun 4th Dec 2022 - Black Cave
	V6	★★★ Aquarius	Boulder 7m	★★★ Classic	Michael Thorley
Managed to most of the moves. I'll be back. A classic for sure.
	V2 Hard	★ Lots of Seamen	Boulder 2m	★ Good	Michael Thorley
Didn't realise until later I cheated by using the jugs. Felt hard for a 2 even with them.
Fri 2nd Dec 2022 - Black Cave
	V6	★★★ Aquarius	Boulder 7m	★★ Very Good	Jess Roach
Worked it all out and can almost link it all up but struggling on the cut

	V6	★★★ Aquarius	Boulder 7m	★★★ Classic	Daaron Chiu
day flash! stoked to finally send it after a few sessions this year
Thu 24th Nov 2022 - Black Cave
	V7	★★★ Cruel Sea	Boulder 8m	★★ Very Good	Phillip Booth
Fun longer traverse on good holds the whole way with loads of heels and toe hooks. Enjoyed the beta nuances and I dare say better then Aquarius. https://youtu.be/4ytNuJQRhUU
	V10 ~V9	★★★ The Plunge	Boulder		Zhangter P
Repeated this to try and get the link up into Aquarius. Pumped liked crazy and fell off the top holds on Aquarius
	V10 ~V9	★★★ The Plunge — 5 attempts	Boulder	★★★ Mega Classic	Zhangter P
Such an amazing problem. Found that throwing for the higher jug helped with avoiding the dab. Once I figured it out, wasn't that hard.
Wed 16th Nov 2022 - Black Cave
	V6	★★★ Aquarius — 3 attempts	Boulder 7m	★★★ Classic	Zhangter P
Awesome compression climb with heaps of body tension. Core is pooped!

	V7 V5	★★ Shrimpy Waters - with DC, LegenDarien	Boulder 6m	★★ Very Good	Jacky
done without hand jam, pretty impossible if your span is under 180cm imo. definitely doesn't feel v5 to me.
	V10	★★★ The Plunge	Boulder	★★★ Mega Classic	Sam Farrar
The cam is like riding a bike
Wed 28th Sep 2022 - Black Cave
	V10	★★★ The Plunge - with Gen Giddings	Boulder	★★★ Mega Classic	Will Mendoza

Got the beta from Mr ham
Sat 6th Aug 2022 - Black Cave
	V12 V12/13	★★★ Deep Blue Sea	Boulder		Ben Aves
Rad! All moves done except crux, need to come back with more focus next time.
	V10	★★★ The Plunge	Boulder		Ben Aves
Great little problem, all moves felt easy but I couldn't get the proper send without an annoying dab or foot popping off. Left it to try deep blue sea instead.
	V6	★★★ Aquarius	Boulder 7m		Ben Aves
Maybe the best at the crag! 2nd go
Sat 25th Jun 2022 - Black Cave
	V4	★★ Left To Right	Boulder 3m	★★ Very Good	Will Turner
What in the sandbag, super cool but definitely a 5
Fri 20th May 2022 - Black Cave
	V4	★★ Dead Calm	Boulder 3m	★ Good	celery
Went down pretty easy for a V4.
	V7	★★★ Cruel Sea	Boulder 8m		celery
First time trying out the non-Aquarius parts of this problem. Managed to make all the moves! Gave it a few send goes but didn't have enough power to hold the cut today.
Tue 5th Apr 2022 - Black Cave
	V7	★★★ Cruel Sea	Boulder 8m	★★★ Classic	Jarrod
Felt so good today, awesome moves and an awesome problem!
	V5	★★ Shrimpy Waters	Boulder 6m	★★ Very Good	Jarrod
Hand jam for days
Mon 4th Apr 2022 - Black Cave
	V2 V4	★★ Dead Calm	Boulder 3m	★★★ Mega Classic	Alejandro Aquino
So cool! Awesome feature
	V5	★★ Right to Left to Topout	Boulder 6m	★★ Very Good	Alejandro Aquino
Nice mix of intensity/complexity!
	V8 V10	★★★ The Plunge	Boulder	★★★ Classic	Alejandro Aquino
