Quite a nice climb

Couple of enhanced holds it seems, pretty goey crimping without great feet off ledge, especially my first attempt when my belayer mistakenly mistook a power grunt dead point for a sign I was falling

Blackheath Area Heathcliff
22 Easy Kate Bush Sport 20m, 8 Good
Start pretty thin but ok. Top easy.

Rpt. I think the start warrants 21. It’s unpleasant. The rest of the climb is nice

 
17 14 Carrot Gold Trad 35m Average

Tue 20th Dec 2022 - Blue Mountains
Mount Victoria Area Bardens Lookout Historic Wells
16 Trick of the Light Sport 20m Average
The engineering job on the shaking flake is a bit scary. Would have best been trundled or wall left alone.

 
21 ~22 Shabang — 2 attempts Sport 25m Very Good
Pretty hard moves to below roof. Interesting and fun and a sandbag at 21.

Interesting crux

 
Sun 18th Dec 2022 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Mt Boyce Afghan/Girl in the Mirror wall

Have seconded GITM before. Start better than I remember, some good moves between nice rests. Did as one long pitch

 
21 Querilous Journey Sport 40m Average
Did as suggested in guide and started at first bolt rather than create a mega cairn.

 
19 Caconofix Sport 50m Average
The move off the low ledge is tricky if you can’t reach the jug

 
Sat 17th Dec 2022 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Heathcliff

Not too bad for a sandstone crack

 
19 Chip Off the Old Block Sport 25m, 10 Good
I think it was fun enough but not that memorable

This felt pretty easy even in a post viral fog. Pitch 1 only

Sphinx Rock Main face
22 Walk Like an Egyptian — 2 attempts Sport 12m, 5 Good
Logged as attempt because I was setting up and then taking down a rope swing for 10 children and only wanted to get to lip. Quite fun, will return when not raining to finish head wall.

Thu 24th Nov 2022 - Freycinet National Park
Coastal Cliffs Travel Land
23 Mad Moroccan Cabbies Sport 10m, 3 Good
Pretty tricky delicate slabbing, would feel impossible if spoogy. A bit of brushing helped a lot.

 
21 Disco Dancing Vegetable Bus Sport 10m Good
More a high ball boulder, felt 3 grades easier than Tetragrammaton!

 
Thu 24th Nov 2022 - Freycinet National Park
Coastal Cliffs Tetragrammaton Buttress
19 No More Mr Nice Guy Trad 25m Very Good
The traverse was less daunting than it appeared, some awkward positions.

 
21 Tetragrammaton Trad 40m
First pitch clean, second pitch found the lower bit fine but spat off a metre from the top when it’s way too wide for my fists

 
Wed 23rd Nov 2022 - Freycinet National Park
Coastal Cliffs Light Fingered Maddison Buttress
15 Dislocator crack Trad 12m Average

Tue 22nd Nov 2022 - Sand River
Colosseum Area Eldorado
19 Dangle Sport 14m, 6 Average
Fun enough but glad to have a longer panic draw, every bolt just out of reach

 
16 Whack Sport 14m, 6 Average
Nice rockpast the ledge. Stopped hereafter our fall misn to find sun lover area. Setting out from carpark at 3 pm it wasn’t the best choice for a quick arvoclimb

 
15 Nugget Juggler Sport 16m, 6 Good
Better than it looked

 
Sun 20th Nov 2022 - Waterworks Quarry
26 ~24 Tour de France — 2 attempts Sport 20m, 7 Good
The down grade is personal due to the fact it seems most people and myself stay right of the bolts for most of the climb. It feels pretty contrived otherwise. The old bolts need replacing.

 
Fri 18th Nov 2022 - Mersey Cliffs
20 Mr Plumpy — 2 attempts Sport 17m, 6 Average
A bit contrived, the middle sequence was cool though, one of the drier routes today

 
19 Not the greatest view — 2 attempts Sport 14m Good
Wet and not having a good day reading the rock. Good climb

 
21 Captain Barnacles — 2 attempts Sport 18m, 7 Average
Nice view and fun bouldery start. Got sucked left too early into the 28.

 
Thu 17th Nov 2022 - Launceston (Cataract) Gorge
The Sunny Side Shimmy Sheister Buttress
23 ~24 Waiting for Bobbo — 2 attempts - with David Gray Sport 10m, 3 Very Good
Tried leading but stumped at third bolt. Despite trying every permutation, including as pictured in the guidebook I could not get the reach to the key hold. Every other move done, though often with twice as many moves as Dave needed, including a technical start for the short! Great name.

 
18 Hard Looking for the Heart - with David Gray Trad 10m Average
I keep doing V grooves in the hope I might like them but I don’t think I ever will…

 
Thu 17th Nov 2022 - Launceston (Cataract) Gorge
The Sunny Side Nighthawks Buttress
18 Nighthawks - with David Gray Trad 10m Good
Big hand size for me

 
Wed 16th Nov 2022 - Launceston (Cataract) Gorge
The Sunny Side Trench-Foot Face
19 Hard The Inspector Sport 10m, 5 Good
Took a few goes finding holds at start, then it backs off

 
17 Trench-Foot Trad 10m Good
Was wet and dirty but good movement

 
Wed 16th Nov 2022 - Launceston (Cataract) Gorge
The Sunny Side Saturday Night Buttress
18 Zoo's Face Top rope 10m Average
Would be a slightly scary solo

 
16 Hard Stopping on the Red Trad 10m Good
Felt harder than route to left, may be body size related

 
17 Change My Tune Trad 10m Good
V grooves are not my thing, but this wasn’t too bad and easier than 16 to the right

 
Sat 12th Nov 2022 - North West Bay River
Dog Leg Bend Main Cliff
17 Paw Jamming Trad 7m Good
Rpt

 
21 Stone Age Sport 10m Good
Rpt, slab dynos

 
24 Bloodhound Sport 15m, 6 Very Good
Still finding this finger destroying

 
24 Jumping Jack Russells Sport 15m
Short but some good movement. Too hot in the sun to try again

 
Thu 10th Nov 2022 - Mount Wellington
The Organ Pipes Great Tier
18 Suicide Sadness Trad 60m Classic
Did as one mega pitch which is probably best avoided, despite good gear management and double ropes the last 10 m were painful. Great climbing

 
17 Kabling Mixed trad 25m, 1 Good
Felt harder than the 18 I thought through the roof

 
18 Master Class Mixed trad 20m, 2 Good
A bit contrived, but nice face climbing

 
20 The Trump Tower Sport 24m, 7 Don't Bother
Looked interesting, turned out to be junk, apt name.

 
17 Janzoon Trad 60m Good
Nice view throughout, but the rock is a bit grungy

 
Tue 8th Nov 2022 - Mount Wellington
The Organ Pipes Great Tier
15 Slow Combustion Trad 52m Very Good
Did as one mega pitch, really nice easier route on the pipes

 
17 Blue Meridian Trad 90m Very Good
A bit of wobbly rock on second pitch, first pitch was nice, I think there’s better17s at the pipes.

 
Thu 3rd Nov 2022 - Waterworks Quarry
26 ~24 Tour de France Sport 20m, 7 Good
Have to do double the moves at the start cf Dave, but it’s still easier than the 24 to the left. The rest didn’t feel much harder than the 24 either, but not sure I trust the bolts. A rebolt would be good.

 
20 Serial Driller Sport 20m, 9 Average
Rpt. I don’t really like this route any more. It doesn’t flow.

 
Sun 30th Oct 2022 - Watagans
Gate Crag Walls of 2000
13 Anniversary climb Sport 40m Average
A bit of a waste of bolts, but it was useful for multipitch “training” I guess.
