The Pharos and Surrounds The Pharos Back Wall
16 15 Lady Dihedral Trad 78m Good
Transfer into the corner makes the heart pump a little... but without the traffic the lichen dominates making for a cautious ascent when wet

 
Tue 12th Apr 2011 - Arapiles
Northern Group Echo Crag
19 Touch-Type Mixed trad 25m, 2 Classic
Awesome pitch! So well worth it to get up there. Very much like a Bluey's face climb.

 
Tue 12th Apr 2011 - Arapiles
Northern Group Kachoong Area
18 Golden Echo Trad 25m Classic
Fantastic climb with beautiful moves across wall and out right above the Kachoong roof. Well worth it if you're standing on photo ledge.

 
Mon 11th Apr 2011 - Arapiles
Bard Buttress
17 17 R Checkmate Trad 85m Mega Classic
Absolutely stunning position on the third pitch. Probably one of the best grade 17 pitches at Araps. Second pitch has instant exposure too.

14 Tremulo Trad 25m Very Good
Fun warm up for Dirge and Jen's Roof.

 
Sat 9th Apr 2011 - Arapiles
Atridae House of Atreus
16 13 Hell For Leather Trad 30m Classic
Can't believe I hadn't done it yet. MUCH better than Muldoon and should get a heap more traffic than it does. Take slings for chicken heads.

 
Fri 8th Apr 2011 - Arapiles
Bluffs Flinders Lane Area
13 Ivan Trad 14m Very Good
Quite the contortionists climb. If you figure out what you need to do with your body the grade diminishes to its supposed grade 13...hmm 15?

 
Fri 8th Apr 2011 - Arapiles
Tiger Wall Area Tiger Wall Under Flinders Lane Wall
15 Resignation Trad 96m Mega Classic
Fantastic climbing. I got the money 3rd pitch. Can't believe I haven't climbed this before.

9 Arachnus Trad 110m Classic
Awesome climb and great exposure at the grade.

15 Beautiful Possibilities Trad 30m Classic
Great climb with fiddly pro in places.

20 Devils Dihedral Trad 45m Mega Classic
Absolutely brilliant climbing, that never relents in both class or its grade. There are a few rests but it still tests your endurance. I thought I wasn't up for it, but figured what the hell.... ended up cruising it.... made me feel GOOD!!

 
Sun 17th Jul 2005 - Frog Buttress
West of the access track
16 Satan's Smokestack Trad 40m Very Good
Very thrutchy but it seems to grow on you the further you go. The move outside the wide crack down low is a bit hairy. Worth doing but I wouldn't rave about it.

 
20 Footloose and Falling Free Trad 11m Classic
Brilliant pumpy climbing with decent pro. Aliens are useful in the thin parallel crack through the crux.

 
19 Hollywood Rattlesnake Trad 18m Very Good
Really very nice. Plenty of good gear and did the whole climb with only wires and one hex. Well worth the effort.

21 Warlock DS Trad 26m Very Good
I reckon it's 20. Difficult, but not 21.

 
17 16 Micron Trad 20m Very Good
Great climb, but not worth three stars. The start is a grovel and the great moves only last 10m. Worth doing though. Funny I haven't done it already.

 
18 Warlock Trad 26m Very Good
A great line and I reckon only worthy if it's done direct. Why would you climb a great line by using the start of another climb? Gotta be done direct and I reckon solid 20 start.

15 Pop-up Toaster Trad 6m Don't Bother
Only reason we did this was to fill in the remainder of the day after being on EP. Fairly crappy and a worthless top out. Rap off the big tree above to the right.

 
Sat 18th Jun 2005 - Redcliffs
Send in the Clowns
15 Big Top Trad 25m Classic
Very nice, airy finish to SITC, although I climbed a new variant start on the far left arete to gain Big Top.

19 18 Plume Trad 25m Classic
Great climb. It was my first for the day and so it pumped me big time. Great climbing and great gear.

 
20 Piranha Trad 45m Classic
An absolute stunning climb, with almost all the moves in the book. Long but has three good rests. Thinkabout it and you won't get pumped. Great gear all the way, except the bottom 7m is a bit fiddly.

 
Sun 22nd May 2005 - Frog Buttress

17 Wizards Back Trad 10m Very Good
Great Position, good for photos. Nice line. Deserves a star! Get gear in soon to prevent factor 2.

Fantastic. The best route I've done so far at Frog. It spooked me for months and now I've done it!

16 17 Fat Mattress Trad 30m Very Good
Better than the description lets out. Direct start is more like 17 or 18.

20 The Great Big Bright Green Pleasure Machine Trad 33m Classic
Fantastic Climb that deserves two stars. If you can get past the initial off-width. The face and crack work above is beyond comprehension. Awesome! Do it, do it!

 
19 Sorcerer's Apprentice Trad 30m Classic
What can I say, but do it if you're climbing 20, because it's a very strenuous 19. It's well worth it though. Jamming and the occasional needed face hold.

 
Sun 3rd Apr 2005 - Mt Ngungun
Upper Cliffs The Upper Main Cliff
13 Deep Purple Trad 35m Very Good
Steph's second ever trad route. Nice varied climbing.

 
12 Sticky Fingers Trad 18m Good
Climbed it with Steph. It was her first trad route ever.

Clemency Wall
16 Clemency Trad 190m Classic
Lead the first three pitches with Phil, so I could see for next time where it goes and where the remaining pitches go. The third pitch is fecking awesome! Not a climb for grade 16 climbers! Should be taken very serious.

 
Sun 13th Feb 2005 - Redcliffs
Mythologica
21 Urban Legend VF Trad 30m Classic
Awesome climbing with plenty of varied moves and exposure. The rising traverse out to the arete was a little unnerving but great fun.

 
Sun 10th Oct 2004 - Frog Buttress
West of the access track
18 Iron Mandible Trad 24m Classic
Felt comfortable. Little tough in places but plenty of good feet. Save some energy for the hand jam finish. Look for face holds to mix it up a bit. Awesome climb.

 
Sun 10th Oct 2004 - Frog Buttress
East of the access track
18 Borderline 29 Trad 15m Mega Classic
Absolute classic climb with exposure max! Thought provoking traverse gets you ento the enjoyable finger crack with plenty of pro. Set of wires and a couple of small cams is all you need.

 
Sun 5th Sep 2004 - Frog Buttress
West of the access track
15 Bad Company Trad 20m Good
Very nice corner with plenty of good face holds to keep your feet out of the crack. Need no large gear.

 
18 Elastic RURP Trad 20m Classic
Excellent climbing with a couple of sustained 4 meter sections but good rests all the way. Has all the moves and deserves another star, and soft for the grade.

 
Sat 4th Sep 2004 - Frog Buttress
West of the access track
17 Smoked Banana Trad 40m Classic
Great climbing, with ample rests to negotiate the two major cruxes, one low and one through the bulge. Great gear all the way. The chockstones are bommer and the squirm chimney relents to easier squirming the higher you go.

 
Sun 13th Jun 2004 - Frog Buttress
East of the access track
15 Iron Butterfly Trad 28m Very Good
Becoming very pumped down low unfortunately set me up for a long, endurious pumpfest on the enjoyable moves through the bulgey flake. Great pro, but I still sketched out!

 
15 Mechanical Prune Trad 18m Very Good
Great climb which probably deserves a star.

17 No Idea DF Trad 20m Very Good
Very nice moves through the finish. Not really run out at all.

 
17 Kaleidoscope Arête Trad 12m Good

15 Send In The Clowns Trad 20m Very Good
Great except for the wasp nest, humming away iniside the rock. Great gear all the way.

18 Nicarete Trad 35m Classic
Great finish to a great day. Awesome exposure on great holds, once you cautiously gain height above the vertical beach. It's all good!

18 Wounded Knee Mixed trad 18m, 4 Very Good
First time on it and I don't think it deserves an 18. It's very soft for 18!

 
Tue 30th Dec 2003 - Mt Tibrogargan
NE Buttress Sector
11 The North-East Buttress Trad 300m Very Good
Quite difficult route finding, except for next time it helps. Very pleasant climbing, sometimes runout, but enjoyable exposure.

 
Tue 30th Dec 2003 - Mt Tibrogargan
Caves Route Sector
13 Prometheus III Trad 13m Classic
Absolute awesome exposure! As the description says, hardly any PRO! Awesome! Next time I will like to traverse the whole way.

Felt pretty good, especially after a mental battle between brain and body at the crux. The body won! 14?

12 Witches Cauldron Pitch 2 (Witches Cauldron) Trad 18m Very Good
Very first climb at Frog, and it felt a little harder than the grade. It seems thats normal!

 
13 Clockwork Orange Corner Trad 15m Good
Tricky start! Nice moves throughout but deserves only one star though.
