Thompson's Point Betty Blue Area
	24	★★★ Betty Blue	Sport 20m, 6	★★★ Mega Classic	Zac Schofield
So good to finally send this one, could cruise to the slopers every time but then would get scared and bail off.

Thompson's Point Sloth Area
	16	★★ Sloth - with Eugene Tan	Sport 23m, 8	★ Good	Jane
Not as fun. Some techy slab work. Reachy in some places. But good warmup
	18 Hard	★★ Resurrection of Rick Roller - with Eugene Tan	Sport 30m, 10	★★★ Classic	Jane
Loved loved loved this climb. Slab then sustained jugs (when you find them ) super flowy and a great route to build mileage.
	21 ~22	★★ Diprotodon - with Eugene Tan	Sport 22m	★ Good	Jane
Hang dogged my way up on this one today. Took a much needed whipper. Pumpy and tough for the grade. At least you get rewarded with a jug haul at the end. Will be back to try redpoint this one 😂
Sun 19th May 2024 - Nowra
Thompson's Point Lizard Block
	14 ~15	★ Lounge Lizard — 3 attempts	Sport 15m, 5	Crap	Andrew.K
Absolute sandbag. If learning to lead, be aware that it’s very awkward and committing for a 14. If looking for an easy beginner lead, looks else where.
Sat 18th May 2024 - Nowra
Thompson's Point The Grease Cave
	26	★★ Blowing On The Ceiling — 3 attempts	Sport 12m		I Skip Crux Holds
No kneebars needed. probably soft with them.

Thompson's Point Gunbarrel Wall
	18 ~19	★★ Diddy Kong - with Richard Graham, Eugene Tan	Sport 24m, 8	★★ Very Good	Jane
Thought it was harder than vanderholics. Technical climbing for three bolts then jug haul. Thoughtful and reachy for shorter people imo. Still fun
Sun 28th Apr 2024 - Nowra
Thompson's Point Little Grease Cave
	30	★★★ Narcosis - with Jane	Sport 10m		Richard Graham
Reworked the start, I’ve now got a much more consistent beta through the first 4 moves. Still unsure on what I believe is the crux - more sessions inc.

Thompson's Point Gunbarrel Wall
	14	★★ Windy Shroomed Glaaaaasses - with Ittisjun	Trad 33m	Crap	Alex Dess
Not sure if we went off route, it's hard to tell from the route description and topo. But what we did wasn't any fun and it looked like things weren't going to improve. So gave up and turned around.

Thompson's Point Betty Blue Area
	20	★★ Half Day At The Beach - with Jarrad Humphry, Rosie Cinnamon, Jack Rowell	Sport	★★ Very Good	Tarac9
Grateful for drawers in place outside scoop! Tricky move crimp/right foot after last bolts.
Sat 27th Apr 2024 - Nowra
Thompson's Point The Wastelands
	18	★★ Lucy Can't Dance - with Jarrad Humphry, Rosie Cinnamon, Jack Rowell	Sport 22m, 8		Tarac9
Totally ran out of cool and crimp above 4th (?) bolt. Stay right.
Sat 27th Apr 2024 - Nowra
Thompson's Point Betty Blue Area
	23	★★★ Still Life - with Jarrad Humphry, Rosie Cinnamon, Jack Rowell	Sport 10m	★★★ Classic	Tarac9
Fun moves, definite rope assistance to try. Too powerful a move around arete to top.
	21	★★ A Day at the Beach - with Jarrad Humphry, Rosie Cinnamon, Jack Rowell	Sport 15m, 6	★★ Very Good	Tarac9
Out of beans to figure out moves from half day anchors
	21	★★ A Day at the Beach - with Rosie Cinnamon, Tarac9	Sport 15m, 6		Jack Rowell
Half day at the beach clean, then fell
	21	★★ A Day at the Beach - with Rosie Cinnamon, Tarac9	Sport 15m, 6		Jack Rowell

Thompson's Point Vanderholics Wall
	19	★★★ Vanderholics - with Rosie Cinnamon, Jack Rowell, Jarrad Humphry	Sport 25m, 8	★★★ Classic	Tarac9
Chickened out on throw to jug near top, should have just gone! got it on the second go.
Fri 26th Apr 2024 - Nowra
Thompson's Point Orca Area
	18	★★★ Orca - with Rosie Cinnamon, Jack Rowell, Jarrad Humphry	Sport 25m, 8	★★★ Classic	Tarac9
Bit shaky rounding the arete, then fun to the top. A little wayward before last bolts before finding jugs to the anchors.
Thu 25th Apr 2024 - Nowra
Thompson's Point Betty Blue Area
	24 Hard	★★★ Betty Blue — 3 attempts - with Steven Smith	Sport 20m, 6	★★★ Classic	James Delayed
Nails hard 24, fight through the crux but the top is no easy feat either!
	23 Hard	★★ Black Beddy - with Steven Smith	Sport 8m	★★ Very Good	James Delayed
One final lap for the day. Probably an 18 for the lower half, second half has the punch. Good fun though, no giveaway!
	23	★★★ Speed Boat Wankers - with Steven Smith	Sport 25m	★★★ Mega Classic	James Delayed
Outstanding route!

	17	★★ Hang On - with Richard Graham	Sport 15m, 6	★ Good	Jane
Take time to find good jugs and it’ll be fine? - if not then it’s a bit of a hassle…
Sun 21st Apr 2024 - Nowra
Thompson's Point The Grease Cave
	15	★ Sour Grapes - with Kyla, Jas, Nathan Miles	Sport 8m	★ Good	Carl Walsh
Better than the 17
	17	★ Bitter Lemon - with Kyla, Jas, Nathan Miles	Sport 6m	Average	Carl Walsh
I love crack climbing but this one isn’t that enjoyable, I think i sandbagged everyone with this one
	23	★★ Pulling On the Porcelain - with Kyla, Jas, Nathan Miles	Sport 12m	★★★ Classic	Carl Walsh
Pretty stoked to get this one on the second redpoint burn after working the moves once! Didn’t think I would be getting the send coming into the crux
Sun 21st Apr 2024 - Nowra
Thompson's Point Little Grease Cave
	30	★★★ Narcosis - with Jane, Jacob Turner	Sport 10m		Richard Graham
Thuggy climb! It’s immediately very high tension moves, with a couple gnarly pockets - 3 & 2 fingers (for me) in succession. They’re pretty deep, but scary to potentially fall on.
Sun 21st Apr 2024 - Nowra
Thompson's Point Descent Gully Walls
	14	★★ Turtle Wall	Sport 17m, 7	★★ Very Good	Noah Vass
Easy high quality routes at Nowra are happiness inducing

So fun and hilarious
	17	★★ Hang On	Sport 15m, 6		Noah Vass
Can’t mantle for my life, also found the last runout to be pants fillingly terrifying.

Thompson's Point Thompson's Sunrise The Block Environs
	21	★★ Bilbo Baggins - with Kyla	Sport 7m, 4	★★★ Classic	Carl Walsh
The movement on this really good and it’s wildly entertaining to be forced to do these moves at grade 21
Sat 20th Apr 2024 - Nowra
Thompson's Point Thompson's Sunrise Isengard Buttress
	18	★★ Isengard - with Kyla	Sport 23m, 9	★★ Very Good	Carl Walsh

Thompson's Point Descent Gully Walls
	18 ~19	★ Lefty - with pete	Sport 10m	★ Good	Lex Holcombe
Failed lead attempt and then struggled on top rope - hopefully do better next time!
	14	Tony - with pete	Sport 8m, 3	Average	Lex Holcombe
Ok sort of a climb
	18 ~20	★ Hard Knee — 2 attempts - with pete	Sport 7m	★ Good	Lex Holcombe
Steep on thin holds until halfway. Paper wasp nest just above the first bolt.
	14 ~15	★ Pete's Two Bob - with pete	Sport 6m	★ Good	Lex Holcombe
Bouldery start and fun short steep little climb
	16 ~17	★ Puppy - with pete	Sport 7m	★ Good	Lex Holcombe
Short steep and fun

Thompson's Point The Grease Cave
	26	★★ Inflatey Katey — 2 attempts - with Michael Hodge	Sport 12m		Scott B
Shut down after the 5th draw (so yeh, where it starts to get hard) but worked out some beta which should get me to the next jug when I come back. Maybe.
Tue 16th Apr 2024 - Nowra
Thompson's Point Orca Area
	18	★★★ Orca - with Michael Hodge	Sport 25m, 8		Scott B
Warm up.

Thompson's Point Descent Gully Walls
	19 ~20	★ Janine - with Alice, Simon Murphy	Sport 9m		Milky
Surprisingly my foot blew just at the second, missed the on-sight attempt. Also feels harder than 19.
	18 ~19	★★ Samurai Pizza Catz - with Alice, Simon Murphy	Sport 15m		Milky
This feels way stiffer than an 18, especially for the amount of delicate sloper moves.
Sun 14th Apr 2024 - Nowra
Thompson's Point The Very Nice Wall
	22	★★ Killer Boas - with Richard Graham, Eugene Tan	Sport 10m		Jane
definitely coming back for a repoint on this one. thoroughly enjoyed the climb itself. loved working the moves. now to do it in one go.

	19	★★ Gun Barrel Highway - with Jane	Sport 25m, 10	★★ Very Good	Richard Graham
Pretty fun problem, the top of the crack was interesting! Top half is a crimpfest, but they’re all pretty kind holds.

Thompson's Point The Pocketed Wall
	24	★★ Mesmo Butts	Sport 10m, 5		Zac Schofield
Actually really excellent climbing but really needs good conditions. Definitely 24 at best but I’ll take some free grades. Significantly easier and more friendly than butts of beef, but not a good one if you’re at your limit just because of the tree.
Sun 31st Mar 2024 - Nowra
Thompson's Point Alley Wall
	22	★★★ Renovators Dream	Sport 20m, 8		Zac Schofield
Yay I sent the worst 22 in Nowra, I can go back to never climbing slab again

Thompson's Point The Pocketed Wall
	22 Hard	★★ Electro Rooter	Sport 12m	★★ Very Good	Harley Mills
Hardest 22 on this wall, the top was tricky and my hands got twisted but I managed to fix it up
	25 Hard	★★ Butts Of Beef	Sport 10m	★★ Very Good	Harley Mills
Dropped the funky gaston move at the top twice! To tired to try again. The start is brutal, but the rest is really nice
	24	★★ Hide The Salami	Sport 10m	★★ Very Good	Harley Mills
Nails crimpy crux, then awesome climbing
	22	★ Meaty Mesmo	Sport 10m	★★ Very Good	Harley Mills
Very good too, a little harder than the first 22 on the wall

	19	★★ The Money or the Box	Sport 25m, 6	★ Good	Harley Mills
A bit hard to find some of the hidden pockets if it's not chalked up
	18 ~19	★★ Korca	Sport 24m, 7	Don't Bother	Jane
Crux is the beginning. Rock quality is so so. Climb itself is tbh not worthwhile.
	18	★★★ Orca	Sport 25m, 8	★★★ Classic	Jane
Amazing climb. Great rock quality. Interesting features and holds. Committing moves for shorter climbers but worth it.
