Thompson's Point The Grease Cave
17 Bitter Lemon Sport 6m Good
15 Sour Grapes Sport 8m Good
21 Frig The Pig Sport 15m Very Good
Tough crux, and confusing last few meters. According to the printed guide, it stops at the first set of double bolts (offset). The high bolts are for the next climb right, and it was awkward as anything to climb out of the gully and clip them. Might be a sweet link up to head far right after the crux, but I can't remember if that looked feasible.

 
17 Bullwinkle Sport 15m Classic
So very good.

Thompson's Point Betty Blue Area
24 Betty Blue Sport 20m, 6 Classic
Hadn't been on this in ages, and needed to create new beta for the crux. Top sloper section is kinda shit.

 
Sat 8th Aug 2015 - Nowra
Thompson's Point The Wastelands
22 Buba Cool Sport 15m, 5 Very Good
Was told this was 16, and got thoroughly pumped trying o work it out on the flash attempt. Not really accurate, had to give a few grunts to push through on the 2nd shot.

Thompson's Point Vine Wall
24 Chunk To Chunky Sport 25m Classic
Very classy.

 
Sat 8th Aug 2015 - Nowra
Thompson's Point The Fossil Cave
17 Bubba The Love Sponge Sport 20m Very Good
Has an all time kneebar at the end of the traverse. Could go on gear

 
19 Cromagnon Sport 22m Good
20 Mungo Sport 22m Very Good
Curious about the direct start.

 
Sat 8th Aug 2015 - Nowra
Thompson's Point Sloth Area
22 The Other White Meat Sport 12m Very Good
It's on from the moment you pull on, and trades hold size for pump above the crux.. Not my strength, but I love a good flogging

 
18 Porn Dog Sport 23m Very Good
Most interesting climb on the Sloth Wall? It's bolted people, get on it.

 
17 The Handcrack Trad 30m Average
Had to play the puss card. It started raining, and the rope was already running through draws on the anchor. Get's wide and awkward past the overhang. #4 x2 for up high.

 
Sat 11th Jul 2015 - Nowra
Thompson's Point Lizard Block
22 Winter Solstice Sport 15m, 5 Average
Climb GG instead.

 
Sat 11th Jul 2015 - Nowra
Thompson's Point Carpark Canyon Black Slabbath
23 Ces poches sont Naturels Sport 16m, 6 Classic
This is too classy for Bundy . Spectacular route, techo and a bit burly to start. Would be mega with a few more moves. 2nd shot.

 
Sat 11th Jul 2015 - Nowra
Thompson's Point Sloth Area
20 Rootasaurus Rex Sport 20m Very Good
First half is great.

 
22 The Other White Meat Sport 12m
Relentless from halfway up. Pumped out trying to figure out the high crux on the onsight attempt.

 
19 Itsablue Sport 18m, 6 Good
Not a huge fan. There are two lines up high, and the low traverse is not well protected.

 
Sat 4th Jul 2015 - Nowra
Thompson's Point Lizard Block
19 Heil Von Abbott Sport 20m Good
Nice warm up

 
21 23 Carnivaughan Sport 15m, 6 Average
Headed for an onsite until a hold snapped. The rock is quite shit around these climbs.

 
21 Gorilla Gardening Sport 15m, 6 Very Good
Give this another grade, and again for an onsite. Don't warm up on this line, it is actually quite fantastic, but is very tricky to read and gives not quarter through a long crux sequence in the middle.

 
Sat 27th Jun 2015 - Nowra
The Grotto Cliffline The Grotto Proper
17 L'Arch Sport 16m, 5 Very Good
Tough first move at the grade.

 
20 Throbbing Pole Of Love Sport 15m, 7 Very Good
By the skin of my teeth. Love the sandbag.

 
20 McStagger Direct Start Sport 15m Very Good
Great holds where you want them

 
22 Amazon Queens Right Hand (flake) Variant Sport 20m Classic
Repeat

 
24 Zimbabalooba Sport 20m
I have no endurance.

 
Sat 27th Jun 2015 - Nowra
Thompson's Point Betty Blue Area
21 Broken And Barbed Sport 18m, 6 Classic
Repeat, so good.

 
21 Shifting Sands Sport 15m, 5 Very Good
Better than ADATB.

 
21 A Day at the Beach Sport 15m, 6 Good
Meh

 
21 Vague Flake Sport 15m Classic
Will get even better...

Thompson's Point Sloth Area
21 Diprotodon Sport 22m Classic
2nd shot. That start move is tough.

 
Sat 13th Jun 2015 - Nowra
The Grotto Cliffline Iceman Wall
19 Jester Sport 20m Good
Not a bad warm up, or another good option below grade 20.

 
19 Worm On A Razor Sport 30m Classic
Very unique with about every climbing style imaginable. A bit chossy up high, but that just adds to the flavor.

 
Sat 13th Jun 2015 - Nowra
The Grotto Cliffline Gonads Wall
21 Space Oddity Sport 17m Very Good
This climb deserves more love.

 
22 Astro Boy Sport 6m Good
Fuck that hold. Nails past the third bolt, but really good in a masochistic fashion

 
18 Depleted Gonad Circumference Sport 20m, 9 Very Good
A bit hyped up, but I am all for climbs with clip and go's.

 
22 Pissed-Up Porker Stalker Sport 22m, 9 Very Good
Fell doing a silly throw instead of thinking the move out first. 2nd shot, cruisey.

 
21 Word on a Wing Sport 22m Very Good
Tough to warm up if you don't know the crux sequence or are under six foot. 2nd shot

 
22 Violent Flemm Sport 22m Very Good
Brilliant sustained climbing

 
23 Bondage and Discipline Sport 23m Classic
I forgot the safe word...and loved it.

 
22 Frogstomp Sport 20m Very Good

Thompson's Point Betty Blue Area
17 Kicking Dogs Balls Sport 8m, 3 Average
I feel bad for putting a newbie on this in the rain. Might be good as part of the 24.

 
Mon 6th Apr 2015 - Nowra
Thompson's Point The Pocketed Wall
24 Hide The Salami Sport 10m Very Good
Received the sacred beta handed down through the ages. Very sustained, but also so very close to success for me.

 
Sun 5th Apr 2015 - Nowra
Thompson's Point The Pocketed Wall
21 Lick The Pig - with Lewyy Sport 10m Good
Great with a bit of crack lowering the quality through the middle. It helps to have big muscle strength with strong fingers for the shallow pockets.

 
Sat 4th Apr 2015 - Nowra
Bomaderry Creek South Central
22 Hunted Child - with Lewyy Sport 8m Very Good
Worked my butt off for this. Just had to tweak my beta at the high crux, sendage.

 
23 Strike - with Lewyy Sport 7m Very Good
Should have got this yesterday, stuck the crux throw then stuffed up the feet. Easy for a SC 23, just got to get back here soon.

 
23 Crime Is Art - with Lewyy Sport 10m Very Good
Did this back in 12/14.

 
Fri 3rd Apr 2015 - Nowra
The Grotto Cliffline Iceman Wall
23 The Dawes Solution Sport 15m Classic
Watching someone do the first move will not guarantee a send...v7 boulder to start.

 
Fri 3rd Apr 2015 - Nowra
The Grotto Cliffline The Grotto Proper
22 Amazon Queens Right Hand (flake) Variant - with Lewyy Sport 20m Classic
24 How Much Can A Koala Bear? - with Lewyy Sport 25m Classic
Tough nut and reachy. Did all the moves, but was too spent to give a second shot.

 
19 Alien Space Monsters - with Lewyy Sport 25m, 9 Average
So very overrated.

 
20 Spinning Blades of Steel - with Lewyy Sport 9m Good
Up and down in one go. Jugs everywhere.

 
Sat 13th Sep 2014 - Nowra
Thompson's Point Alley Wall
18 Suze Sport 14m Good
Great holds and a killer starting sequence. Probably the best warm up in the alley area. More stars if it was longer.

 
Sat 13th Sep 2014 - Nowra
Thompson's Point Orca Area
18 Orca Sport 25m, 8 Classic
17 Slap & Tickle Sport 14m Good
Good Warm up.

 
Sat 13th Sep 2014 - Nowra
Thompson's Point Alley Wall
19 Tour Of Duty Sport 14m, 5 Classic
Hard to onsight, with some sneaky holds

 
21 23 V Lix The Cat Sport 15m Average
Very contrived, and there are better climbs on the wall.

 
Sat 13th Sep 2014 - Nowra
Thompson's Point The Very Nice Wall
24 Pale Yellow Underwear Sport 10m, 5 Mega Classic
EOTD...but got into the crux on the flash attempt.

 
Sat 13th Sep 2014 - Nowra
Thompson's Point Gunbarrel Wall
18 Planet Mossvale Sport 28m, 10 Average
Nice long route, but mostly forgettable

 
Sat 2nd Aug 2014 - Nowra
Thompson's Point Betty Blue Area
23 Black Beddy Sport 8m, 3 Classic
1 shot. Didn't feel strong today. The final throw hold is a lot worse than I remembered.

 
25 Tickled Pink Sport 10m, 4 Classic
Went to get Bundy's draws...need to learn how to crimp better. So weak

 
Sat 2nd Aug 2014 - Nowra
Thompson's Point Carpark Canyon Black Slabbath
21 I am iron man Sport 15m Very Good
Claiming the flash, though I shopped around for start holds.

 
Sat 2nd Aug 2014 - Nowra
Thompson's Point Lizard Block
19 18 Lazy Lizard Sport 15m, 5 Very Good
Very disappointed to have not fought for the good slopers.

 
18 Go Anna Sport 16m Good
Sat 2nd Aug 2014 - Nowra
Thompson's Point Sloth Area
22 Nowra-cised Sport 10m, 3 Good
I'm not very creative when trying to solve a crux. Easy on second shot.

 
Sat 12th Jul 2014 - Nowra
Thompson's Point The Grease Cave
23 Pulling On the Porcelain Sport 12m Classic
2 kneebars and a sit on the stone pony...thanks for the armor, Ben. Enter sandman next.

 
Sat 12th Jul 2014 - Nowra
Thompson's Point Betty Blue Area
21 Broken And Barbed Sport 18m, 6 Classic
Warmed up on the best 21.

 
21 A Day at the Beach Sport 15m, 6 Good
Very pissed that I fell off the second to last move. Shouldn't have left it to the end of the day.

 
23 Black Beddy Sport 8m, 3 Classic
2 shots, Got all the moves thanks to Rob. Hats off to anyone that onsights this route. Harder crux than Betty Blue?

 
Sat 5th Jul 2014 - Nowra
Thompson's Point Sloth Area
20 Sidetrack Sport 18m, 7 Good
Got lost because it goes all over the joint, but added extra style by going over the rooflet with a heel hook, and layback. Skipped the last bolt and ran it out 6 or 7 meters.

 
18 Resurrection of Rick Roller Sport 30m, 10 Classic
Yeah, that was a pretty awesome warm up. Too crisp conditions meant I couldn't feel my fingers after 5 meters.

 
Sat 5th Jul 2014 - Nowra
Thompson's Point Betty Blue Area
24 Betty Blue Sport 20m, 6 Mega Classic
What a pumper! Stuffed up the onsight at the 5th bolt (low crux), but don't think I would have kept it together up high anyway. 2 attempts, all moves sorted.

 
Sat 5th Jul 2014 - Nowra
Thompson's Point The Pocketed Wall
24 The Hustler Sport 28m Don't Bother
Decided to take the path of least resistance, permadraws. Bolting is great, moves are easy and fun, but the rock quality is very poor. Decided not to play roulette, and did my first non-shutdown retreat from the high cave. Does muscle hustler have less sketchy holds up high?

 
Fri 20th Jun 2014 - Nowra
Thompson's Point The Pocketed Wall
22 Murdoch the Horse Fucker Sport 12m, 5 Classic
21 Lick The Pig Sport 10m Good
Not the climb to leave until the end of the day. My belayer told me it's nicknamed the devil climb once above the second bolt...desperate start, a necessary detour into the crack, a full body pendulum to circumvent the thin feet on the rightwards traverse, and a 2 finger half pad undercling to finish. At least the clipping position was nice!

 
22 Electro Rooter Sport 12m Very Good
This is dialed in now. Might be my new warm up for this wall.

 
Fri 20th Jun 2014 - Nowra
Thompson's Point Gunbarrel Wall
20 Diddy Kong Direct Start Sport 24m, 9 Very Good
Hanging the draws

Thompson's Point The Pocketed Wall
20 21 Je Baise Ma Frangine (Je Baise Ma Fraigne) Sport 12m Very Good
Switches gears at the break.

 
22 Electro Rooter Sport 12m Very Good
The anchor clip fumbler strikes again.

Thompson's Point The Very Nice Wall
22 Killer Boas Sport 10m Very Good
Jugs where you need them.

 
Sat 14th Jun 2014 - Nowra
Thompson's Point Alley Wall
21 22 Tinman Sport 20m Very Good
Sandbag. Hardest route on the wall.

 
22 Renovators Dream Sport 20m, 8 Mega Classic
21 Up the Alley Sport 20m Very Good
Fell trying to mimic beta at the second bolt...sigh, it's all intuitive

 
Sat 14th Jun 2014 - Nowra
Thompson's Point Orca Area
18 Orca Sport 25m, 8 Classic
18 Korca Sport 24m, 7 Good
Just finish up Orca. The meat is in the first few moves

 
Sun 6th Apr 2014 - Nowra
Bomaderry Creek South Central
19 Burping Burgers Sport 8m Average
22 Hunted Child Sport 8m
If you can accept this climb for what it is (unrelenting and desperate V3 with tough clipping), then it is actually quite good. Got all the moves, and I dig it, but 22? Come on mate.

 
19 Silver Hands Sport 9m Very Good
Good warm up. 2 laps

 
23 Crime Is Art Sport 10m Very Good
Got all the moves. Tried both top variations, the thuggy right option is higher percentage. Very good climb, and true to the grade. It'll go when fresh.

 
Sat 5th Apr 2014 - Nowra
Thompson's Point Vanderholics Wall
19 Vanderholics Sport 25m, 8 Very Good

Thompson's Point Gunbarrel Wall
19 Gun Barrel Highway Sport 25m, 10 Classic
Best 19 sport climb I have been on. Better warm up than DK.

 
20 Diddy Kong Direct Start Sport 24m, 9 Good
Tough clipping. Crisp conditions would have helped. The rest of the climb is okay.

 
Sat 5th Apr 2014 - Nowra
Thompson's Point The Very Nice Wall
22 Killer Boas Sport 10m
Pretty soft considering the other 22s around, but also really fun,

 
Sat 5th Apr 2014 - Nowra
Thompson's Point The Pocketed Wall
22 Murdoch the Horse Fucker Sport 12m, 5 Very Good
Got all the moves, just gotta link it.

 
22 Meaty Mesmo Sport 10m Good
2nd shot
