	26	Wayne's World	Sport 12m, 4	Watagans	★ Good	Wed 6th Sep 2017
Had to engage some mindfulness to be calm enough for this balancy tick. Totally not in the zone. Might be a bit easier with my sequence, but it can make up for the rest of the sandbags here.
	26	★★ Aslan 1 23 20 2 26 18	Trad 38m	Kaputar	★★★ Classic	Mon 30th Jul 2018
Team success. Pink pointed on Dave's gear. A RP burn will have to wait for next year. Pre habilitation time is over. It's been a great month.

	25	★★ Dance Like a Mother	Sport 30m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Sun 1st Mar 2009
I seem to have gotten taller. Maybe its technique
	26 25	★★ Son of a Gun	Sport 20m, 12	Joll's Bridge	★★ Very Good	Mon 28th Sep 2009
PAul grading soft!
	25	★★★ 97% Fat-Free	Sport 20m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Mega Classic	Mon 22nd Jun 2009
Happy winter solstice
	25	★★★ Loop the Loop	Sport 25m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Sun 28th Jun 2009
sending freddo strikes again
	25	★★ Hermaphrodite Hamster	Unknown 20m, 6	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Sat 27th Feb 2010
I thought it was samnivel at first!
	25	★★★ Solitude	Sport 25m, 10	Little Babylon	★★★ Classic	Mon 4th Jan 2010
sensational, shame about the rest ledge
	25	★★ Toast	Sport 10m	Bulahdelah	★ Good	Sat 8th Oct 2011
did the crux nicely and nearly rolled off as the finger tape undid
	25	★★ Risky Business	Sport 12m, 5	Glenrock Lagoon	★ Good	Thu 9th Aug 2012
MIght be25 now. 2 holds have disappeared making the moves over the bulge a bit more reachy
	25	★★ Prime Time	Sport 13m, 5	Glenrock Lagoon	★ Good	Wed 14th Nov 2012
3rd shot, though took a bit of sorting out, and the shared end was familiar
	25	★★ Sheep May Safely Graze	Mixed trad 25m, 3	The Black Range	★★ Very Good	Tue 11th Oct 2016
Placed several long slings and cleaned moss off top. Cool crimping and steep balancing to crimp dyno for me. Second go.
	25	★★ Persona Grata	Mixed trad 20m, 5	The Black Range	★ Good	Tue 18th Oct 2016
Sneaky rest day ascent. The heavens cleared and I climbed into the sunset. 3 rd shot overall. Much nicer out of the sun.
	25	★★★ Technocrat	Mixed trad 25m, 2	Tomaree Head	★★ Very Good	Sat 10th Dec 2016
Did it with second bolt clipped, and suddenly found I was through the crux, with only a light rack and no idea of the second half of the route. Took me a while to fight the anchor anxiety.
	25	★★ Tsunami Warning	Sport 14m, 4	Treatment Plant	★ Good	Sat 5th May 2018
Finally, good friction today and no pesky tall people making me doubt my sequence
	24 25	★★★ Traction Thrash	Sport 36m, 15	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Thu 21st Mar 2019
Second shot, to first set of anchors. Nice to have a long draw on second go. I sat on the crux a bit trying different methods first go, and went back to how I first tried it. Quite tricky. Rest of route is nice. Not interested in chipped routes, so didn’t try top, and didn’t use the apparent chip at the low crux.
	25	★★ Prime Time	Sport 13m, 5	Glenrock Lagoon	★ Good	Mon 31st Aug 2020
Rpt. 24 if starting on the obvious holds to the left of the bolts. Nice alternatives for the short if the main pocket is out of reach
	25	★★ TITS	Sport 15m, 4	Killiecrankie	★★ Very Good	Sat 13th Mar 2021
Abseiled in the second day to put the draws back on with a long anchor one. Varied climbing in outstanding location. A convenient route for the grandkids to cheer on from the beach
	25	★★ The Crimson Tipped Crumpet Plunger	Sport 15m, 4	Sisters Beach	★★ Very Good	Wed 30th Mar 2022
Easier than a bischoff flinders 23! Had a go last year, clearly done more crimping this year and got it 3rd go today once I sorted a sequence.
24 to 25
	25 24 to 25	★★ Bill Collins	Sport 10m, 3	Berowra	Average	Mon 20th Jul 2009
still painful
24
	24	★★ Glamorpus	Sport 18m	Berowra	★★ Very Good	Sat 21st Aug 2010
if Liberal get in this climb will have been the highlight of my day
	24	★★ Universal crack	Trad 20m	Bulahdelah	★★ Very Good	Sun 25th May 2008
Just like araps. Orange trad route!
	24	★★ Mr McGuirkesqirter	Sport 15m	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Sat 27th Oct 2007
first up today. Much easier without a tall person suggesting beta
	24	★★ Triple Figures	Sport 12m	Wingello	★ Good	Sun 27th Apr 2008
Definitely 24. Tip shredder. Nice and techy.
	24	★★ The African's Route (The African route)	Sport 19m	Bulahdelah	★★ Very Good	Sun 5th Jul 2009
	24	★★ Eye Moss You (Direct) (Eye Moss U (Direct))	Sport 13m, 4	Morna point	★★ Very Good	Tue 15th Jan 2008
Its still the same crux whether you bridge or not at the start! Felt like 24, a dyno off a gaston. Great moves.
	24	★★ These Apples Must Be Jen's	Sport 20m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Mon 15th Oct 2007
I really love Porters. Great varied moves. (2)
	24	★★ Ratcat	Sport 14m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Sat 24th Nov 2007
took longer than I thought to tick this one.
	24	★★★ La La Land	Sport 20m, 8	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Sun 21st Dec 2008
Alzheimers flash. Used holds with no chalk.
	24	★★ Marching Powder	Sport 14m, 6	Wingello	★★ Very Good	Fri 2nd May 2008
A change in foot sequence helped in the end
	24	★★★ Language of Desire	Sport 28m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Mon 21st Aug 2006
footwork,footwork
	24	★★★ Look mum, no cams!	Sport 18m	Bulahdelah	★★ Very Good	Sat 28th Jun 2008
would blow your brains trying to place gear. (2)
	23 24	★★ No U-Turn	Sport 20m	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Thu 25th Sep 2008
Share the same crux start for the short. the rest is just crimping
	23 24	★★ Pull Ya Plonka	Sport 15m, 6	Bulahdelah	★ Good	Sat 6th Sep 2008
So sharp. Plonka gets a big hug.
	24	★★★ Zimbabalooba	Sport 20m	Nowra	★ Good	Sun 18th Oct 2009
should have flashed it...
	24	★★ Palmasutra (Palm Sunday)	Sport 18m, 6	New Nowra - Braidwood Road	★ Good	Sat 17th Oct 2009
Nice bottom, hard off ledge $ me. 2nd go.
	24	★★★ T For Tim (Tea with Tim)	Sport 16m	Bulahdelah	★★ Very Good	Fri 21st Nov 2008
sustained technicality. Gold!
	24	★★ Cupcake aka The muffin man.	Sport 25m	Bulahdelah	★★ Very Good	Wed 8th Jul 2009
A bit of everything. Burly start!
	24	★ Fox Force Five	Sport 15m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Sat 25th Mar 2006
yay
	24	★★ LMNOP (Flexing flake)	Sport 15m	Bulahdelah	★★ Very Good	Sat 6th Dec 2008
Felt like I was going to rip my deltoids off
	24	★★ Form One Lane	Sport 22m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Sun 28th Jan 2007
The shared start was the crux for me!(2)
	24	★★ Pallets of Pies	Sport 12m, 4	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Thu 25th Sep 2008
Not really my style
	24	★★ Ironbark	Sport 16m	Bulahdelah	★★ Very Good	Sat 1st Nov 2008
Probably a 25 since bentho broke the crux hold
	24	★★★ Black Heathen	Sport 25m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Sat 8th Nov 2008
Too many rests to be classic (2). Lots of great sequences though.
	24	★★ The African's Route (The African route)	Sport 19m	Bulahdelah	★★ Very Good	Sun 5th Jul 2009
Yeah yeah boys, its 21 not
	23 24	★★ The Bastard from Gunn Rd	Sport 20m, 10	Mount Iron	★ Good	Tue 13th Oct 2009
Good moves. Crap rock.
	23 24	★★★ Aratika	Sport 30m, 10	Wye Creek	★★★ Classic	Fri 7th Mar 2008
Stonker moves the whole way up (2)
	24	★★ Ah, Miss Monneypenny	Sport 10m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Sun 17th Sep 2006
think laterally
	24	★★★ How Much Can A Koala Bear?	Sport 25m	Nowra	★★ Very Good	Wed 16th Aug 2006
Came very close to an OS, so it must be easy (2)
	24	★★★ Swallow The Moon	Sport 13m	Nowra	★★★ Classic	Mon 17th May 2010
My style. A crimp crux and not too steep.
	24	★★ Yellow Box	Sport 16m	Bulahdelah	★★ Very Good	Sat 20th Feb 2010
Not as hard as ironbark i think, but still goey
	24	★★ The Asian Informant	Sport 20m, 11	Bulahdelah	★★ Very Good	Wed 10th Mar 2010
I think 24. Climbing partner couldnt do it but strolled up the Gift.
	23 24	★ Gift Of Grace	Sport 12m, 3	Wye Creek	★ Good	Wed 13th Jan 2010
hard for 23, especially to onsight
	24	★ Gay Witches For Abortion (Tickle My Palm)	Sport 18m, 9	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Sat 2nd Apr 2011
Still hard but possible earlier in the day
	22 24	★★★ Guillotine (Guillotine Pitch 1)	Sport 48m, 23	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Sun 3rd Apr 2011
Ignore tree, bottom pitch is 24 from ground
	24	★ upper tier, crack over carrots	Sport 20m, 6	Bulahdelah	★★ Very Good	Fri 12th Aug 2011
Had previous top rope ascent, led today
	24	★★ Big Man	Sport 8m, 3	Bulahdelah	★ Good	Mon 15th Aug 2011
A boulder problem, 22.
	24	★ Ram Raid	Sport 12m	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Sun 5th Aug 2012
The feet had to be pretty precise on this and then the handtrap kneebar worked...
	24	★★★ Weena two (direct)	Trad 20m	Tomaree Head	★★ Very Good	Fri 28th Sep 2012
2 laps today. Nothing over no 1 needed
	24	★★★ Weena two (direct)	Trad 20m	Tomaree Head	★★ Very Good	Fri 28th Sep 2012
2 laps today. Nothing over no 1 needed
	24	★★★ Weena two (direct)	Trad 20m	Tomaree Head	★★ Very Good	Fri 28th Sep 2012
2 laps today. Nothing over no 1 needed
	24	★★ Route Poachers (Dans face climb)	Sport 22m	Bulahdelah	★★ Very Good	Sun 16th Dec 2012
Quite goey for the first 3 bolts. 3 rd shot overall
	24	★★★ Pluck-a-Duck	Sport 22m, 10	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Wed 31st Dec 2014
First go today (2). dave kindly put draws on. No easier than first try but at least I knew where to go at top
	24	★★★ Chunk To Chunky	Sport 25m	Nowra	★★★ Classic	Wed 1st Jul 2015
Not too bad, bar one super reachy move that I had to tuck feet way high and only stayed on with heel toe cam
	24	★ Hung Low Bay	Sport 19m, 7	Pohlner Track & Smith's Rd Area	★ Good	Fri 9th Oct 2015
Felt 24 to me. Very height dependent. If you are under 168 cm you can't keep feet on crimp rail and reach jug rail. Had to sort out very different beta and do a drive by dyno of a us chalked side pull. Guess I can't join team shire flashers.
	24	★ Wortho's Choice	Sport 27m	Watagans	★ Good	Sun 6th Dec 2015
We spent an hour cleaning the lichen. Worth a rebolt and anchors.
	24	★★★ Dirty Dancing	Trad 30m	Point Perpendicular	★★★ Classic	Sun 6th Mar 2016
Dave and I attempted ground up. Did second shot with the last 5 metres a mystery after coming down before then, though Fave had put last 3 pieces in
	24	★ Speak Easy	Sport 6m, 3	Watagans	★ Good	Wed 2nd Nov 2016
Finally got this crimp campus problem done. It was worth the rebolting. Must remove old carrots
	24	★★ The Red Menace	Sport 15m, 5	Berowra	★ Good	Wed 27th Sep 2017
Hung the draws and gave it a good clean first go. Did second go. A bit surprised it wasn't clean as no rain for a while, and I found it softer than other Berowra 24 s. Some good moves.
	24	Beware of the snake	Sport 9m, 2	Koolewong	Average	Thu 4th Jan 2018
Took about 30 goes to stick the bouldery start sequence. I figure if it was down the hill it would get v4. Yes there was a snake off to the left near the top. Needed a lot of brushing to be able to hold the slopes.
	24	★★ Every which way but Can LH finish	Mixed trad 20m, 1	Tomaree Head	★★ Very Good	Sun 18th Feb 2018
On the last go of the day after changing sequence each time. Nice and technical and trickier than appearances
	24	★★ Whole New Kettle of Fish	Sport 14m, 6	Bouddi National Park	★ Good	Sat 14th Apr 2018
Trench warfare. Dave did this much easier by putting his back to the water which didn't work for me. I faced the water and did some extreme bridging and thrutching. And sorted it out by about the 15th attempt, and probably won't be able to walk tomorrow.
	24	★★ Wehrs (Ring Bolted Face)	Sport 25m, 8	Kaputar	★ Good	Sat 28th Jul 2018
Second go, after a scary onsight attempt due to spaced bolts. Hard moves at second bolt especially if lacking a big wingspan. Placed a very long sling on the fifth bolt.
	24	★ Beer and Blonds	Sport 13m	Watagans	Average	Sun 10th Feb 2019
Clearly I have improved at techno slabs. Did it quite different to Dave. 2 good boulder problems really.
	24	★★ The Patrician	Sport 22m	Sand River	★★ Very Good	Fri 3rd May 2019
First go today, took way too long clipping crux draw, but managed to get back to knee bar and recover
	24	★★★ Worrying Heights	Trad 30m	Frog Buttress	★★★ Classic	Sun 23rd Jun 2019
Enjoying the 26 pieces of pro I had placed on the red point attempt
	24	★★ Even Monsters Can Be People	Sport 14m, 7	Mt Tibrogargan	★ Good	Wed 12th Aug 2020
Feels 24 minimum if you are short. Was using “holds” that don’t look like they get much use. Huge reach, and not to the good one.
	24	★★ Shake and Bake	Sport 15m	Brooyar	★★ Very Good	Wed 21st Jul 2021
Preplaced the draws, freeing a hand to clip felt quite insecure
	24	★ Critical Mass	Sport 10m, 4	Glenrock Lagoon	★ Good	Mon 27th Sep 2021
Nice start, good rests. Not too hard, after start. Could be 23. A long sling on 3rd bolt was comforting
	24	★★ The Prow - with but prettygood small to medium wires throughout and one old rusty bolt that needs replacing.	Mixed trad 20m, 1	Kaputar	★★ Very Good	Sun 19th Dec 2021
Took a bit of cleaning. Unfortunately Robin and John’s bolts are within clipping distance in the lower half, though the crux and above is pure trad, mostly small to medium wires. The old single bolt needs replacing and anchors would be good. will add to the to do list. 23/24 maybe. It too k a number of tries to sort out
	24	★★ Jackjumper	Sport 18m, 6	Killiecrankie	★★ Very Good	Wed 9th Mar 2022
Fifth go overall, a less humid day helped so I reverted to the tiny crimps into a hand jam throw as I could not reach the holds around the arete whatever I tried at the crux.
	24	★★ Nose Job	Trad 30m	Arapiles	★ Good	Wed 11th May 2022
Nice to get this off the list, coming back a second day with the beta fresh was worth it. Having the crux wire placed was good for the mind, the rest of the gear is quite straightforward.
	24	★★ Horrorscope	Trad 16m	Arapiles	★ Good	Tue 17th May 2022
Used the preplaced gear, though the red cam in the hand jam is probably better placed after getting to ledge. Most gear straight forward but the two crux bits feel fiddly.
23
	23	★★ Express Checkout	Sport 13m	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Sun 18th Jul 2010
I thought the easiest of the 23s on this wall- with a decent rest
	22 23	★ Torque Is Cheap	Sport 10m, 3	Berowra	Average	Sat 21st Aug 2010
whats with the stars?? Painful crimping
	23	★ Acceptably Cosmic	Sport 10m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Sat 18th Sep 2004
2nd shot. Trashed my hands
	23	★★ Power Surge	Sport 10m	The Surge	★★ Very Good	Sun 1st Feb 2009
SOme really tricky moves
	23	★★ Jock Itch	Sport 12m, 5	Nowra	Average	Thu 11th Jun 2009
lovely rock
	23	★ ? Flake	Unknown 8m	West Gosford	Average	Sun 30th Jul 2006
nice flake, 2nd shot
	23	★★ Bitch'n	Sport 12m, 5	Bluebell	★ Good	Wed 12th Jul 2006
?a bit soft, 2nd shot, couldnt clip 3rd bolt 1st time around
	23	★★★ Roast Lobster (Roof Flake)	Sport 12m	Bouddi National Park	★★★ Classic	Tue 13th May 2008
	23	★★★ Los Hermanos de la Denitente	Sport 10m, 4	Mount Alexandra	★★ Very Good	Tue 13th Nov 2007
the caramello koala, and some technique works again
	23	★★ Euchre	Sport 22m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Sun 6th Jan 2008
nice mix of boulder and balance with a sit down rest between
	23	★★ Beef Master	Sport 8m, 4	Nowra	★ Good	Fri 12th Jun 2009
bouldery fun
	23	★ Marvel	Sport 15m, 4	NE Mt Zero Range	★ Good	Sun 2nd Sep 2007
the coveted 2nd ascent, even if it was a girly mcdougal
	23	★★ Fashion	Sport 15m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Sun 3rd Feb 2008
Definitely 23. Super good.
	23	★ The Tea-Ladies from NATO	Sport 15m	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Sat 9th Sep 2006
placed the draws, had more shots than I thought necessary-bouldery crux, harder for the short
	23	★ Married Mans Clip Up	Sport 12m, 6	New Nowra - Braidwood Road	★ Good	Sun 15th Feb 2009
Nice when it cleans up
	23	★★ These Cats are Full Of Milo (These Cats are Full'o Milo)	Sport 20m, 8	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Mon 15th Oct 2007
I love Porters. Nice Mantle for the short and Techo crux (2)
	23	★★ Fattergram	Sport 11m	Nowra	★ Good	Sat 23rd Aug 2008
Fingery start, got easier by the repeat
