26 Ugly Voyage - with estherenita Sport 20m, 7 Very Good Sat 14th Nov 2015
I thought this was 25, may have had a few more holds in 2004 by the sounds of it! Really good face climbing.

28 Pain and Frequency - with Alister Robertson, Kent Paterson Unknown 18m Very Good Mon 14th Jun 2004
Thanks to Neil for the rebolting! I think this took me 7 days in the end. Clearly a sandbag at 28 ; ) (I did actually do about four other 28's in 2004, all in 2-4 days, but this one is an unusual style)

Actually a very good route if you live in Melb and like crimping, aretes and slabbing.

25 26 Edging Bets - with estherenita Sport 20m, 6 Very Good Sat 14th Nov 2015
25? Remember something a little scary about this, but also that it was good face climbing and that the finish was a bit exciting - probably mostly because I was pumped. Remember AlRob doing it well.

 
20 A Question of Ethics - with estherenita Sport 15m, 4 Good Sat 14th Nov 2015
Classic slab climbing - just the same move over and over...

20 19 Namarron - with adam demmert, @cathdv Sport 30m, 16 Very Good Thu 8th Oct 2015
I thought this was at least 20.. though maaybe I was tired. Good varied climbing (even has a jam up top) and mostly good rock - loses it a bit in the middle.

 
21 Dreaming of a White Christmas - with adam demmert, @cathdv Sport 40m, 13 Don't Bother Thu 8th Oct 2015
Climbing is ok but too loose feeling for me at the top. First bolt is very high - a good idea to stick clip as it's not easy up the slab. First crux is quite a way left of the bolt. Basically, there's better things here.

 
19 The Apology - with adam demmert, @cathdv Sport 50m Classic Thu 8th Oct 2015
Great climbing AND rock. Goes on forever (did it in one pitch, 2 raps). Beware the start though, I've seen some good climbers spat off the ultra-technical first crux.

 
19 18 The Perfect Extraction - with adam demmert, @cathdv Sport 40m, 18 Good Thu 8th Oct 2015
I could have just got it wrong, but crux seemed harder than 18. A bit loose at the top. Can lower with care on a 70 - not a 50m pitch. Maybe there are higher chains also?

 
20 19 Archies Arete - with adam demmert, @cathdv Sport 35m, 8 Very Good Thu 8th Oct 2015
Great technical wall climbing, ducks around the arete twice in the top half despite where the bolts are. Looks like a reachy crux. Not overbolted! Felt quite runout at times. Also felt like solid 20.

 
22 Dreaming of Reconciliation - with adam demmert, @cathdv Sport 39m, 8 Very Good Thu 8th Oct 2015
Good climbing, brittle rock - and thankfully we had Adam there to tell us to lower off a ring bolt before the top, where it gets really loose. Funky crux at the start - I could imagine falling off this a lot.

 
Victoria North West Grampians Halls Gap Area Lake Bellfield Pastoral Buttress Main Cliff
22 Cocky Calamity - with Wendy Eden Trad 20m Very Good Sun 3rd Jan 2016
A good onsight by Wendy. Quite insecure after the crux.

 
18 Skirt Alert - with Wendy Eden Trad 20m Good Sun 3rd Jan 2016
Good, odd low angle fine grain rock, some delicate bridging

 
19 Udder Shudder - with Wendy Eden Trad 20m Good Sun 3rd Jan 2016
18 Spare Rib - with Wendy Eden Trad 20m Average Sun 3rd Jan 2016
A very hard start, then ok, then something about the finish, maybe loose.

 
Victoria North West Grampians Halls Gap Area Town Cliffs The Radiator
19 Hot - with Wendy Eden Trad 25m Very Good Sun 3rd Jan 2016
The route to do, good climbing and position.

 
22 Feel the Heat - with Wendy Eden Trad 15m Good Sun 3rd Jan 2016
Seemed very tough for 20, good locks but feet scarce on the bulge

 
19 The Only Way is Up - with Wendy Eden Trad 26m Average Sun 3rd Jan 2016
OK climbing with a loose odd block on the crux. Happy to tr it.

 
14 Dirty Work - with Wendy Eden Trad 25m Average Sun 3rd Jan 2016
Appropriately named - the top desintegrates into a dirt and chockstone filled groove. Go L for rock, if not gear.

 
Victoria North West Grampians Halls Gap Area Northern Wonderland Range The Wall of China Main Wall
17 Checkpoint Charlie - with Wendy Eden Mixed trad 25m, 5 Average Sun 3rd Jan 2016
Worth taking gear! While the new bolts are good, the old one on the crux don't look great, and the last bolt is not a ring, it's a FH so if you want to lower off a single ring use the second last bolt. It's also easy to traverse to the rings on Sprung.

 
22 21 Sacred Ground - with Wendy Eden Sport 25m, 5 Very Good Sun 3rd Jan 2016
An absolutely desperate start leads to easing climbing. Hard for 21, what would adam demmert know about climbing 21?

 
22 Sprung - with Wendy Eden Sport 25m, 6 Classic Sun 3rd Jan 2016
I thought this was lovely - great pockets, great rock, nicely sustained. Dodgy bolts but you can't have everything!

Done cause it was raining and a bit was dry.

 
12 Scarab Mixed trad 59m, 1 Good Sun 3rd Jan 2016
Wandery but has some good bits

 
16 The Frog - with Wendy Eden Trad 45m Very Good Sun 3rd Jan 2016
Remarkably good, doesn't look that great from the ground. Slings and biners to rap off as of early 2016

 
17 Gerontian - with Zoe Wilkinson Trad 46m Very Good Sun 3rd Jan 2016
Recently attempted this with one #4 Camalot and backed off - the wires aren't convincing. Tried to do it in one pitch, which is also not great as the ledge causes the rope to pull out on your gear. Best to belay on the ledge.

 
19 Crash Dive Trad 25m Don't Bother Sun 3rd Jan 2016
Poor rock

 
21 Pathos Trad 28m Very Good Sun 3rd Jan 2016
20 Blanketty Blank Trad 28m Average Sun 3rd Jan 2016
Remember something a bit dodgy about this route - maybe not such great gear or loose rock?

27 Angular Perspective (to first chain) - with Dave Jones Sport 12m Classic Sun 3rd Jan 2016
Dave and I both did it in bare feet - I'm sure it's easier without shoes as you can get your toes in the pockets for the dyno.

20 18 Point Perpetrator - with Wendy Eden Sport 17m, 6 Good Wed 23rd Mar 2016
and this seemed more like 20 with a tricky start if you're not short. Wish I was short.

 
18 Hey Youse Sport 18m, 7 Very Good Sat 12th Mar 2016
Really nice incuts. Seems more like 18 to me.

 
19 Waterfall Bogans - with Clive Curson Sport 18m, 7 Good Sat 12th Mar 2016
Really nice incut holds.

 
22 21 Minced Beef Eaters - with Wendy Eden Sport 20m Good Wed 23rd Mar 2016
Pre clipped the second bolt for the full Dougpoint.

 
23 Pain Criminals Link-up - with Geordie Webb Sport 18m, 9 Very Good Sat 12th Mar 2016
Great varied climbing on nearly all big holds

 
19 Pains Ford Sport 18m, 8 Very Good Sat 12th Mar 2016
Great but a bit of a jug haul - liked the 23 more as it was more varied

 
20 Try Land Sport 17m, 7 Good Sat 12th Mar 2016
20 21 Lake Thelma - with Wendy Eden Sport 18m, 7 Good Wed 23rd Mar 2016
21 Brush with Authority - with Clive Curson Sport 15m, 6 Good Sat 12th Mar 2016
Only dim memories but I think it was a bit scary at the start and hard after that

 
19 18 Glue Mountains - with Geordie Webb Sport 20m, 8 Good Sat 12th Mar 2016
I found this quite technical and sustained - maybe it was just first route on a humid day

 
17 18 Gaybarry - with Geordie Webb Sport 20m, 7 Good Sat 12th Mar 2016
Easier if you're tall - one reachy move.

 
Victoria North West Arapiles Western Side Campbell's Kingdom
19 Coeur de Lion - with Wendy Eden Trad 43m Classic Sun 15th May 2016
Awesome in the first half, the rest is much easier and some loose rock but wow the first half is amazing. Like a harder version of Toccata, and now has a rap station.

 
19 Silent Senile Running Foxes - with Wendy Eden Trad 35m Good Sun 5th Jun 2016
I thought this was quite good - apart from being diagonal, the rock's pretty good (apart from the start) and the climbing's quite interesting.

 
23 Rain Aneurysm - with Wendy Eden Mixed trad 35m, 2 Good Thu 9th Jun 2016
Easy chossy start but the business is good rock and an interesting crux down low (if you're tall) and sustained up high.

 
16 Heart Full of Soul - with Wendy Eden, Kylie Jarrett, Kane Hendy Trad 60m Good Sun 5th Jun 2016
As I was seconding I could go up the 'mossy slab' which is quite nice climbing and rock. Not recommended to lead as it has no gear, but I might put a few bolts in it. This improves the route as it's more direct and better climbing - I thought it was a pretty good two pitch route. Amazing old twisted pine on top.

 
21 Only Fools Eat Marmite Trad 30m Good Sun 5th Jun 2016
18 Perpetual Standstill - with Wendy Eden, Andrew Clark Trad 40m Good Thu 2nd Jun 2016
It's a shame that the rock is not so great on this as it's a nice long pitch which is fairly sustained and ends up in a terrific position right on the top arete of the buttress. There is one pretty obvious loose block at about 8m to avoid. A good onsight lead by Wendy!

 
13 Sundowner - with Wendy Eden, Andrew Clark Trad 30m Good Thu 2nd Jun 2016
The start's quite good, then the rock quality falls away a bit. Take a few big cams if you want to climb the LH corner, fortunately the RH corner has good normal sized gear and ok climbing.

 
22 Cream Between - with Wendy Eden Trad 30m Good Thu 2nd Jun 2016
I would describe it as 'horiffically smooth', but hey. The initial groove looks like 24 and is at least 19 and then the bulge has a hard slopey topout. (this may be a new direct finish). Then a bit of a loose and blocky ramble to the top but the bottom is quite worthwhile and the most-not-16 route I have ever done.

Poor protection, rock and climbing.

 
22 21 Beelzebub Direct Start - with Andrew Clark Mixed trad 10m, 1 Good Tue 2nd Sep 2014
Very, very hard for 20. And probably reachy, and dangerous getting to the bolt.

23 Nuns Love It - with Andrew Clark Mixed trad 20m, 2 Good Mon 2nd Sep 2013
Good climbing, funky moves but the bolts are in the strangest places and seem like they would be hard to clip.

 
13 Bostok Trad 40m Average Tue 2nd Sep 2014
OK - access to chains at top of Nuns Love It

 
16 15 Mullumbimby Madness Trad 40m Very Good Sun 2nd Sep 2012
Hard and spaced gear for 15. Great climbing though, I love this one.

 
23 A Dream Of Pink Tse-Tse Flies Direct - with Sol Trad 25m Average Sun 2nd Sep 2012
Just a few thin moves. It's fun but over after 6m

 
18 Salem Trad 40m Very Good Fri 2nd Sep 2011
Not much worthwhile gear in the first few metres and then run out a little off good gear up the corner. #3 cam may be handy for upper pocket, don't need #1 and #2 camalots

 
17 18 Morgul Khan Trad 40m Good Fri 2nd Sep 2011
Easy for 18, and nice. Diagonal right to chains

 
19 Morgul Can't Trad 40m Good Sun 2nd Sep 2012
Gear is a bit dodgy on the crux but I would do again. You have gear below.

17 The Great White Hope - with Wendy Trad 35m Average Tue 2nd Sep 2014
Good and hard but broken

 
11 Penny Dreadful - with Natasha Trad 40m Good Tue 2nd Sep 2003
Start to the right! The direct start is great but hard and slippery and poorly protected for the grade. It makes a much better start for Witch Hunt.

 
15 14 Witch Hunt - with Natasha Trad 40m Classic Mon 1st Sep 2003
May be hard for 14. Great climbing.

 
22 Witch Craft - with Andrew Clark Trad 40m Good Sun 2nd Sep 2012
It's definitely not 18. The start is about 21 and then you pull through the roof on a 2 finger pocket (crux) and end by mantling a horn on the arete.

 
11 The Archbishop Trad 48m Good Tue 2nd Sep 2014
Actually good.
