Paul's Roof | ||||||
V3 | ★★ Dark Wolf | 3m | ||||
Did the line 'Lone Wolf' same grade - either way, my shoulder and ankle did not appreciate
|
||||||
Sat 30th Mar 2024 - Blackwood | ||||||
Smoke Cave | ||||||
V4 | ★★ Fighting Fire with Fire | 3m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Working to get the last moves of blackended dialled. Pretty nice roof climbing. Agree with the Judd, stiff for a 4, would be on the harder end for sure.

The Bachelor Pad | ||||||
V4 | ★ Chocolate | 3m | ||||
Don’t choose the sloper. Don’t.
|
||||||
Fri 16th Feb 2024 - The Big Green Frog | ||||||
V3 | ★ Riddy Up | 3m | ||||
V4 | Riddy Left | 4m | ||||
I’m not sure I saw my hand holds or feet holds for 85% of the climb
|
||||||
Thu 18th Jan 2024 - The Big Green Frog | ||||||
V3 | Pogger Stand | |||||
The hardest part of this crag is finding the start holds…also the slopers

Sun 24th Dec 2023 - Blackwood | ||||||
Magpie Gully | ||||||
V6 | ★ Mach III | ★★ Very Good | ||||
Endlich gesent…took so many sessions that one of the house owners on clematis drive invited me to his son’s wedding. Good birthday present.

Sat 22nd Apr 2023 - Blackwood | ||||||
Paul's Roof | ||||||
V1 | ★ Heel Right | 3m | ||||
Pretty fun climb that was on my “Sandbag Australia climbs” list, but surprisingly good quality
|
||||||
V4 | ★★ Wolf Howl | 3m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Stupid amount of attempts but drop knee instead of dyno to first jug made this easier.
|
||||||
Fri 14th Apr 2023 - Blackwood | ||||||
Paul's Roof | ||||||
V3 | ★★ Wolf Howl (Easy Variant) | 3m | ||||
Not sure what variant to first jug with heel is, apparently 3?
|
||||||
Sun 2nd Apr 2023 - Morialta | ||||||
The Lost Walls | ||||||
23 | ★★ Witch Hunt | 15m, 7 | ||||
Relearning the beta to get clean soon. The step up into the undercling block would be such a nice move if the block wasn’t so keen to visit the creek in the valley below. Individual moves aren’t bad, keen for another sesh soon. With or without blocky boi.

The Bachelor Pad | ||||||
V3 | ★ The Fish | 4m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Lovely underclings
|
||||||
V5 | ★ Red Snapper | 3m | ||||
Love the perma pads covering this line on a day when Mori was too wet.
|
||||||
V2 | ★ Warm Up Double Dyno | 3m | ||||
V1 | ★★ Chinese Nuggets RHV | |||||
Nice variation
|
||||||

Surprisingly good line with a real nice intermediate
|
||||||

Matching the last hold was my crux!
|
||||||
Sun 28th Aug 2022 - Glen Osmond | ||||||
Wheal Watkins Mine | ||||||
V3 | ★ The Upper Floor | 10m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Had a quick suss of the crag, this was a great line. Might come back with more pads.

11 | ★ Sexy Love Slot | 8m | ||||
Either this is bolted the whole way now, or I shouldn’t have eaten any car crashrooms
|
||||||
Sat 2nd Jul 2022 - Mitcham Quarries | ||||||
Car Crash Quarry Sector 4 - Graffiti Wall | ||||||
20 | ★★ AO | 8m, 3 | ★★ Very Good | |||
I like it, and with inevitable hold breakage, I will surely like it’s next incarnation
|
||||||
Thu 10th Mar 2022 - Hallet Cove Bouldering | ||||||
Sunset Boulder | ||||||
V2 | ★ Height of a Set Sun | 2m | ★ Good | |||
Some nice heels and toes.
|
||||||
V0 | ★ Sunset Love | 2m | ★ Good | |||
I remember visiting this Boulder before the pandemic, and the pebbles basically making a right foot impossible. Much easier today, but still stiff for a V0. This is SA, and it does stand for Sandbagged Australia. Either way, quality line.

V2 | ★ Moonrise | 3m | ||||
Thu 13th Jan 2022 - Blackwood | ||||||
Magpie Gully | ||||||
V3 | ★ Magpie Roast | |||||
Back to work on the V6 proj. This one was fine, a lot of the top holds have been reclaimed by nature.
|
||||||
Sat 30th Oct 2021 - O'Sullivan Beach | ||||||
Boat Ramp Boulder | ||||||
V5 | ★ Captain Crimpseye | 3m | ★ Good | |||
Eliminate definitely makes it harder than LL and it’s worth doing, even if you must sacrifice your left hand
|
||||||
Sat 30th Oct 2021 - O'Sullivan Beach | ||||||
Kafka's Boulders | ||||||
V2 | Jack Sparrow LHV | 3m | ||||

Some lols
|
||||||
V3 | James Hook | 4m | ||||
V3 | ★ James Norrington | 3m | ★★ Very Good | |||
I actually really like this line, hitting the sloper then finding the right feet to pop up.
|
||||||
Sat 30th Oct 2021 - O'Sullivan Beach | ||||||
Crows Nest Boulders | ||||||
V5 | ★ Ovni | 3m | ★ Good | |||
This one was a bit different, angle is awkward, some strange movement, lost 5% of my body due to sharpness
|
||||||

Paul's Roof | ||||||
V2 | ★ The Press | 3m | ||||
V0 | Paul's Warm Up | 2m | ||||

Fri 22nd Oct 2021 - Blackwood | ||||||
Magpie Gully | ||||||
V5 | The Ladder | |||||
Very desperate to finish it before the rain set in…doesn’t appear to have had much traffic?
|
||||||
V3 | ★★ A Close Shave | ★★ Very Good | ||||
That knee drop into the sharp hold is nice once you get it
|
||||||
Tue 19th Oct 2021 - Blackwood | ||||||
Magpie Gully | ||||||
V2 | ★★ The Magpie Has Landed | 2m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Quick suss of a local crag. V6 next door will be a project for sure. Even got to meet the OG for some beta tips.
|
||||||
Sun 10th Oct 2021 - Blackwood | ||||||
Smoke Cave | ||||||
V1 | ★ The Kids are Restless | 3m | ||||
Quick look at the cave, why haven’t I been here before? Oh yes, the anxiety inducing train line/off leash dog problem
|
||||||
V4 | ★★ Burning Down the House | 3m | ||||
Great climbing on great holds
|
||||||
Tue 14th Sep 2021 - The Big Green Frog | ||||||
V3 | ★★ Left Arete | 3m | ★ Good | |||
V2 | ★★ Over The Arete | 3m | ★★ Very Good | |||
The worst thing about this Boulder is you really have to look for the good holds. This is also the best thing about climbing here
|
||||||
Sun 29th Aug 2021 - The Big Green Frog | ||||||
V1 | ★★ Jumping Frog | 2m | ★ Good | |||
The jug on top was almost gym like
|
||||||
V2 | My Frog Klause | 3m | ||||
Body position was key for this one - hand holds not great…except for the one..
|
||||||
V0 | ★ Frog Attack | 3m | ||||
The top out holds were not as good as anticipated
|
||||||
V1 | ★ Crouching Tiger, Hidden Frog | 3m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Good holds, the start wasn’t so straight forward at first
|
||||||
V2 | Hop on Up | 3m | ★ Good | |||
Little phantom needed to get the left leg onto the gold ledge
|
||||||
Sun 15th Aug 2021 - O'Sullivan Beach | ||||||
Fisherman Boulder | ||||||
VB | Fisherman's Traverse | 1m | ||||
Fun way to spend a minute while a family sits in front of the other boulder for some reason
|
||||||
Sun 15th Aug 2021 - O'Sullivan Beach | ||||||
Boat Ramp Boulder | ||||||
V4 | ★ Fumes | 3m | ||||
Has taken a few goes, I think a large boulder has fallen down to take some of the feet out.

V3 | ★★ Barnacle Bill | 2m | ||||
Actually stoked to be able to find some of these boulders without a snorkell
|
||||||
V1 | Barnacle Traverse | |||||
Missed an onsight due to a floofy attack from above
|
||||||
Sun 1st Aug 2021 - Mitcham Quarries | ||||||
Car Crash Quarry Sector 4 - Graffiti Wall | ||||||
22 | ★ Perceptive Orators | 8m, 3 | ★★ Very Good | |||
All the moves fit together for once. Enforced lockdown rest can be a good thing?
|
||||||
Sun 1st Aug 2021 - Mitcham Quarries | ||||||
Car Crash Quarry Sector 1 - Left | ||||||
15 | Escape artist | 14m | ||||
Something a bit different to warm up on. There was a nut after the roof and before the slab, thought it had been left for this route so it’s still there.
|
||||||
Sat 10th Jul 2021 - O'Sullivan Beach | ||||||
Crows Nest Boulders | ||||||
V4 | O'Sullivan Direct | 2m | ||||
Check tide times or else you’ll have to play up here! Nice holds on this climb, some of them are gone now…
|
||||||
V4 | El Manto | 2m | ||||
On such a slope that the dog jumped on my crash pad and tobogganed down to the foot path
|
||||||
Tue 29th Jun 2021 - Norton Summit | ||||||
The Bachelor Pad | ||||||
V2 | ★★ Royale | 4m | ★ Good | |||
Sent about a year ago, before the dark times. Before the virus.
|
||||||
Sun 20th Jun 2021 - Mount Barker Summit | ||||||
Northern End Isolation Boulder | ||||||
V1 | ★ Bushido | 2m | ★ Good | |||
A full day of shut downs, this was the highlight - nice to have a left and right heel hook beta. It’s very awkward out of the cave.
