14 Smallminded - with Kym Campbell Trad 12m Good
Sweet little trad line, very protectable.

 
17 Playboy - with Kym Campbell Trad 22m Good
Good, but I don't think I'll ever feel the urge to do this again.

Getting back to stiffer grades, slowly. This was a great confidence-booster today.

Hey, I remember: trad is scary on lead. Calling this one a retro-flash.

22 Luck of the Draw - with Marc Sport 25m, 10 Very Good
A messy dog of an ascent on top rope. At least I made it all the way up this time.

 
19 Inside Out - with Marc Sport 25m, 11 Very Good
Good confidence-booster to come back to this and lead it cleanly.

Gotta trust your feet on this. Good moves, grade 20 feels about right.

Redpoint attempt: got through the hard bit smooth-as, then slipped off the finisher. Careless, but not unhappy with this effort.

21 Conflation - with Kym Campbell Sport 12m, 5 Very Good
Had grand plans to practice then pink point this, but was not to be today. But now I know it's secrets!

Nice warmup. I suspect I spent a bit much time in the corner.

18 The Ride of the Valkyries - with Kym Campbell Sport 25m, 6 Good
I might have enjoyed this more if it hadn't started raining midway. Nevertheless, some good moves.

A good route with a variety of moves needed to finish. I should have had it clean the second try, but lost concentration and dogged it. Another day.

A quick burn on top rope.

The Black Bay
21 Split Personality - with Kym Campbell, Paul Donovan Sport 20m, 4 Very Good
Old school climbing! In the sense of widely-spaced bolts, the first of which is a certainty of crippling injury in the event of a fall. I made that okay, and the second, but couldn't figure out the hard move to gain the third. Nonetheless, a great line that I'll come back to.

 
Thu 29th Dec 2016 - Mountain Quarry
Main Wall
20 On Edge - with Kym Campbell, Paul Donovan Sport 15m, 6 Very Good
A very pleasant surprise, way better than expected. If it were at ground level, I'd describe it as "must try".

 
15 17 Adventure Line - with Kym Campbell, Paul Donovan Mixed trad 30m, 5 Good
Pleasant enough climbing, worth doing to reach On Edge (above). Use the last third as an opportunity to practice your trad placements.

 
Thu 29th Dec 2016 - Mountain Quarry
Skywalker Wall
21 Conflation - with Kym Campbell, Paul Donovan Sport 12m, 5 Very Good
Technical, interesting and unique moves. Will definitely come back and try doing this cleanly.

 
Wed 28th Dec 2016 - Mountain Quarry
Main Wall
21 20 Psychopath - with Ashley Felton Sport 42m, 10 Good
The first pitch is fairly straightforward, the second is a lot more challenging (hats off to Kym). Second carrot on the 2nd pitch (after the hanger) is in a butt-clenchingly high spot.

 
Tue 13th Dec 2016 - Mountain Quarry
Main Wall
20 19 Sex, Cigarettes and Chardonnay - with Kym Campbell Sport 50m, 10 Good
Good fun, though pretty damn tough for the grade. Needs a couple of hangers on the ledge at the natural top of pitch one. The sequence on the pitch two arete felt harder than 19, but I dogged through it eventually.

 
Thu 1st Dec 2016 - Mountain Quarry
The Black Bay
19 Turbodiesel Excavator - with Kym Campbell, Paul Donovan Sport 16m, 5 Good
I like this route, just not in the dark.

 
24 Monday Weak - with Kym Campbell, Paul Donovan Sport 15m, 6 Good
I can do pretty much all the individual moves on this, while fresh. The trouble is stringing them all together.

 
Thu 24th Nov 2016 - Statham's Quarry
Quarry Right Side
13 Middle Line - with Ashley Felton Sport 31m, 8 Average
A pleasant enough warm-up.

 
Wed 21st Sep 2016 - Midgegoroo National Park
Over The Hill Big Man’s Rump
1 Rabbit Hole Trad 10m Mega Classic
Totally sandbagged! Should be 3 at the very least.

 
22 Beds are Burning - with Kym Campbell, Paul Donovan, Marc Sport 15m Very Good
Got up with plenty of shouted beta. This is the best of what I climbed today, possibly of the whole crag. Remarkably consistent in difficulty over the entire route.

 
Wed 21st Sep 2016 - Midgegoroo National Park
Over The Hill Yaganing Slabs
16 Bril-liant Slab - with Kym Campbell Sport 20m Average
Fine enough, for slab.

 
17 Narrogin Line - with Kym Campbell Sport 24m Average
Eh, it was okay. A bit muddy.

 
Wed 21st Sep 2016 - Midgegoroo National Park
Over The Hill Big Man’s Rump
21 Desperate Housewives - with Paul Donovan, Kym Campbell, Marc Sport 15m, 5 Good
I made the blank section look much harder than it should be. Trust the rubber!

 
18 19 Big Man’s Rump - with Paul Donovan, Kym Campbell, Marc Sport 15m, 3 Good
Good mix of moves. Easy for the grade.

13 Bumble Sea Sport 11m, 4 Average
Setting up/retrieving gear for offspring to have a climb.

 
Fri 6th May 2016 - Churchman's Brook
The Super Slab
21 Super Slab Direct - with Kym Campbell, Rebecca Trigger Mixed trad 30m, 2 Very Good
A properly good slab route, this. Will come back for the lead one day.

Lost Arrow Area
15 Lost Arrow - with Kym Campbell, Rebecca Trigger Trad 12m Good
10 Twenty Two - with Kym Campbell, Rebecca Trigger Trad 15m Average
Channeling my inner Honnold. Also I was bored.

Collaboration Wall
20 Gates of Mordor alternate finish - with Kym Campbell, Rebecca Trigger Mixed trad 30m, 3 Good
Good fun on top rope, but suffers a bit from being a one-trick pony (crux traverse). Wouldn't come back for the lead.

 
Fri 22nd Apr 2016 - Statham's Quarry
Quarry Right Side
15 Plummeting Penguins - with Kym Campbell Sport 27m, 6 Good
Easy enough to be relaxing, thin enough to still have interest.

24 All the Young Fascists - with Kym Campbell Sport 15m, 6 Very Good
Top rope with (much) rest, but finally got up this with a bunch of coaching. Sequency as heck.

The Black Bay
22 Shut 'em Down - with Rebecca Trigger Sport 16m, 5 Very Good
Wild contortions to get through the overhang, then efficient moves to scale the arete. It's pretty doable, once you know how.

 
Sun 14th Feb 2016 - Mountain Quarry
The Black Bay
18 19 Turbodiesel Excavator - with Kym Campbell Sport 16m, 5 Good
Forgot where the secret hold was on the hard move. Ah wells.

 
Thu 11th Feb 2016 - Mountain Quarry
The Black Bay
22 Shut 'em Down - with Kym Campbell Sport 16m, 5 Very Good
Blasted straight through the crux this time, only to find that the next couple of clips are pretty hard work too.

 
19 Aquaterra - with Kym Campbell Sport 17m, 5 Good
Has some interesting and chancy moves in the bottom half. Not ashamed to admit that having the beta made me feel a bit braver.

 
18 Motherlode Sport 15m, 4 Good
Got it done cleanly this visit.

 
Mon 1st Feb 2016 - Gooseberry Hill Quarry
22 Shadow of a Doubt Variation - with Kym Campbell, Marc Sport 10m, 5 Very Good
Got to the top rest, then couldn't face the razor-sharp holds at the end.

 
Thu 28th Jan 2016 - Mountain Quarry
The Black Bay
22 Shut 'em Down - with Kym Campbell Sport 16m, 5 Very Good
Was very close to writing this off as an impossible waste of time, then worked out a way to get through the starting overhang. Bazinga! Will come back another day and try the lead.

 
18 Motherlode - with Kym Campbell Sport 15m, 4 Good
Couldn't work out the first move on the first try, or the second, but eventually. A somewhat tricky start, but the rest is straightforward.

 
Wed 6th Jan 2016 - Statham's Quarry
Michel Angelo Walls
25 Hammer and Tongs - with Kym Campbell Sport 25m, 8 Very Good
Got this dialed. Very close to a clean ascent today, just some carelessness on the undercling move. I should probably stop putting off the lead and get this done.

Still a grovel at the top, but progress nonetheless.

 
Sat 24th Oct 2015 - Barrington (Gosnells) Quarry
Entrance Quarry
17 19 Drilled into Submission - with Kym Campbell Sport 10m, 30 Average
Short, unmemorable, no loweroffs. Next.

 
19 Ghost Pillar - with Kym Campbell Trad 15m Very Good
Good holds, excellent placements. Pure fun.

 
Sat 24th Oct 2015 - Barrington (Gosnells) Quarry
Main Quarry
16 It's a Formidable Scent - with Steve Whitehead Sport 13m, 4 Very Good
Very enjoyable, exciting mantle at the end (to which I won't spoil the trick).

 
17 Smell of Rich Mahogany - with Steve Whitehead Sport 13m, 4 Good
Nice line. A somewhat tricky stretch between the 2nd & 3rd bolt.

 
Sat 3rd Oct 2015 - Bridle Rock
20 19 Mr. Buzzy - with Kym Campbell, andrea Sport 6m, 3 Average
21 Snake Hips - with Kym Campbell, andrea Sport 7m, 2 Very Good
Fun and well-protected, crimpy and satisfying. Crux is the topout. I should have gotten it clean, but didn't have it today.

 
20 19 Mr. Buzzy - with Kym Campbell, Andrea Sport 6m, 3 Average
Okay as a warm up. Pretty short.

 
Wed 10th Jun 2015 - Avon Valley National Park
Emu Creek Wall
21 Redline - with Kym Campbell Mixed trad 14m, 2 Good
Crimpy, sequency crux. I think that I overcomplicated it. I'd come back if the crag were closer to Perth

 
14 Happy Daze - with Kym Campbell Mixed trad 12m, 1 Average
Okay. A good way to get to the top to retrieve gear.

 
20 Black Flag - with Kym Campbell Mixed trad 14m, 2 Very Good
Didn't trust the cam placement down low, so we did this with the first draw clipped. My favourite route of the crag - at twice the height, it would be a classic route.

 
18 Eliminator - with Kym Campbell Trad 15m Average
Unsure why this has stars; thirty seconds of laybacking off the roof crack is the highlight. I guess that it's pretty unusual in the Perth area.

 
18 Bone Machine - with Kym Campbell Mixed trad 14m, 3 Very Good
This was great fun, a good mix of crimps and balancy moves.

 
16 Freestone Valley - with Kym Campbell Mixed trad 14m, 1 Good
Good warm-up after a break from trad. Couldn't quite do it cleanly.

 
Tue 24th Mar 2015 - Mountain Quarry
Skywalker Wall
24 Running With the Bulls - with Kym Campbell Sport 18m, 8 Classic
Tried the lead, had an awesome long fall and got freaked out. Went back on top rope to practice that 2nd crux sequence a bit more. Getting better.

 
Tue 10th Mar 2015 - Boya Quarry
East Bay Rightside
21 Exhilarating Heights - with Kym Campbell, Richard Allcock Sport 20m, 6 Very Good
A sweet couple of moves to get through that crux. As good as I remember!

13 Fryaway - with Kym Campbell Trad 13m Very Good
This is like the special desert you treat yourself to after a workout. If climbing this doesn't make you smile, you're doing the wrong pastime.

 
Mon 2nd Mar 2015 - Darlington
The Eastern Slabs
17 Captain Funkmayer's Hot Pink Acid Jazz Dream - with Kym Campbell Sport 15m, 4 Good
Best. Name. Ever. Good climb too, for slab.

 
Mon 2nd Mar 2015 - Darlington
Solstice Boulder
21 Solstice - with Kym Campbell Sport 10m, 2 Good
Two moves, maybe? I found hoisting myself up onto the top slab the scariest part.

 
Mon 2nd Mar 2015 - Darlington
Deception Area
20 Deception - with Kym Campbell Sport 12m, 3 Very Good
As the name suggests, the footing is deceptively good. Lucky, considering there's no handholds to speak of.

 
Tue 24th Feb 2015 - Statham's Quarry
Quarry Right Side
23 Stolen Glory - with Kym Campbell Sport 15m, 5 Very Good
The crux requires finesse to get through, not to mention a couple of serious crimps. After that, it changes up into a slab requiring balance and nerve. Recommended!

 
Mon 16th Feb 2015 - Mountain Quarry
Hangten Buttress
24 Hang Ten - with Kym Campbell Sport 12m, 5 Classic
Finally nailed this cleanly on lead, despite my apparent desire to reinvent half the moves each time I climb it. Classic!!!

 
Sat 14th Feb 2015 - Avon Valley National Park
Bald Hill
19 Blue View - with Kym Campbell Sport 9m, 3 Average
One fun move, then some okay slab to finish.

 
21 Sundance Crack - with Kym Campbell Trad 12m Classic
Has to be one of the best cracks in Perth, well worth the bush-bash. Got part-way on lead, but the crux is a hard one to be placing gear through. Pure pleasure on toprope. Left some skin behind, plus an unrecoverable stopper above the first move (it should be bomber, forever).

 
Tue 10th Feb 2015 - Mountain Quarry
Hangten Buttress
24 Hang Ten - with Kym Campbell Sport 12m, 5 Classic
The practice finally paid off with a clean ascent. A personal best! Back soon to try for the clean lead.

20 The Perfidious Potoroo - with Richard, Andrea Sport 15m, 4 Very Good

16 Frustration and Contempt - with Richard, Andrea Sport 25m, 6 Good
Snatched a quick lead, between helping out the kids.
