16 | ★ Ringo's Revenge | 10m, 2 | ★ Good | |||
fun, with lots of holds on the wall or in the crack. the carrots are solid, considering how back the rest of them are on this wall. Worth doing again (free, eh Brendon?)
|
||||||
23 | ★ Doggie's Dinner | 10m | ★ Good | |||
More of a 21. lots of cleaning required. but some really good moves. heaps of balance and smears! I'll have to get back on this some time and do it clean
|
||||||
18 | ★ Z | 10m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Super awesome crack! definitely my favorite on this wall! great moves. laybacks of joy!
|
||||||

An absolutely fantastic climb! Amazing Iron ledges, super fun lay backs. quirky and rewarding
|
||||||
17 19 | ★ Enviro Vandal (The Sounds of Water) | 12m, 6 | ★ Good | |||
Fun start to the day. A bit chossy - needs more traffic. Holds are solid, though they don't look it. keep an eye out for the third bolt as its a bit hidden!
|
||||||
19 | ★ Enviro Vandal | 12m, 6 | ★ Good | |||
Super Fun Iron Ledges!
|

Rodd Park Super 8 | ||||||
V1 | FA ★ Shin Splints and Shit sits | 3m | Average | |||
Can potential be harder is you don't look for the goods
|
||||||
V4 | Grunt Grunt (Project 1) | 3m | ||||
Ugh! solid start. Its definitely hard to under cling when you have no foot holds!
|
||||||
V2 | FA ★ Wasp Guts, Yummy, Yummy | 3m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Awesome moves!
|
||||||
V2 | FA ★ Buff Chicks in Spandex | 3m | ★ Good | |||
I swear some of the rowing girls had arms bigger than mine. great start with a crimpy finish - I'd go it again!
|
||||||
V3 | ★★ Smooth Water (Project 2) | 3m | ★★ Very Good | |||
What a solid, fun start! that first left hand reach is surprisingly good. I just have to stick the moves after that. I'll be back for this one!
|
||||||
V4 | FA ★★ Figged Beyond Belief | 4m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Definitely a favorite! powerful start and plenty of options to move the body weight around. argh! the arms were tired during this one. satisfying finish
|
||||||
V3 | FA ★ Fruit Fetish | 3m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Not bad at all! its tempting to get out of the heel hooks early (I used 3??) but I stuck with it and it payed off
|
||||||
V3 | FA ★ Super 8 Traverse | 6m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Dogged the start a bit - solid crimpers as you lean over the bulge. a great mix of holds and foot work required. Was tempted to stay low and throw up a heel hook but instead powered on. Tired!

V5 | ★ Dislocation Station | 5m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Always popping off the last move. Guess a static dyno will do that to you. Reachy and power required. Feeling V6+
|
||||||
Sun 25th Nov 2012 - Blues Point | ||||||
Peeking Patch | ||||||
V3 | ★★ Coal Train Blues | 5m | ★★ Very Good | |||
A bit of cleaning up top opened up an easier top out
|
||||||
V6 | ★★★ Pockets of Power (Project 3) | 4m | ★★★ Mega Classic | |||
Wow! I think this might be V6+. The crux is powerful, reachy, and packed with sweet rewards - if i can Stick it! more gardening up top makes for a nicer end
|
||||||
V3 | ★★ Saved By Ents | 4m | ||||
dropping grades like flies - More of a V3 than a V4. Satisfying sloping side pull
|
||||||

V1 | FA ★ Gold Rush | 3m | ★ Good | |||
All the holds at there waiting for you! Cruxy at the start
|

V4 | FA ★ Molten Metal | 3m | ★ Good | |||
Really Pumpy! Solid start with some grunting required! the climb chills out a fair bit but still asks for some thought
|
||||||
V3 | FA ★ Industry over Ecology | 3m | ★★ Very Good | |||
A lovely climb with some great thought provoking moves in the middle! This has it all - Power in the start and some slab like tenderness!
|
||||||
V2 | FA ★★ Pure Locomotion | 3m | ★★★ Classic | |||
FFA. One of the most satisfying dynos to date! a absolute pleasure to stick and very worthy of re climbs!
|
||||||
V1 | FA Progress Forward | 4m | ★ Good | |||
Not bad for a warm up. Can also be done via a standing direct start
|

Good to stay low!
|
||||||
V1 | ★ Harros Quick Finish | 3m | ||||
A good lesson not to get to cocky - V1... easy, right? It didn't stop me popping off as I went around the corner (great moves!), lucky I landed ok on the stairs
|
||||||
V1 | ★ Harros Quick Finish | 3m | ||||
Got ya!
|
||||||
V4 | FA ★★ Harros Horrendous Horizontal Hammering | 20m | ★★ Very Good | |||
WOW! what a solid traverse. You have to battle with some sand and dodgy holds, but this is super worth it! Good rests when you need them and a nice array of moves.
|

Slabs | ||||||
18 | ★★ Manic | 17m, 4 | ★★ Very Good | |||
A year and a half between drinks on this climb - Why oh why did I wait to so to come back. Awesome slab, balance and crimp!
|
||||||
18 | ★★ C | 8m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Sweet pump of joy! great overhang, excellent moves but super annoying, dodgy anchor!
I want more! |

V0 | ★★ Perfect Flake | 3m | ★ Good | |||
V2 | FA Tales of Choss and Chunder | 4m | ★ Good | |||
You have to overlook the choss on this one to really appreciate it. Worth doing once, especially to gaze with awe at the great highball potential up the side of the cave!
|
||||||
V2 | ★★ Grasping For The Wind | 4m | ★★ Very Good | |||
seek out the left hand slap - its goooood

Bam! Nailed it. Passed my Lead Assessment with an Onsight! of course it was a 16, with massive jugs - but a fun climb is a fun climb!
worth doing for sure! |
||||||
17 | ★ Space Trucken | 10m, 4 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Nice warm up for my Lead assessment! Awesome move after the first bolt. I'd come back and lead this for sure next time

V2 | ★ The Half Neilson | 3m | ||||
V2 | ★ The Half Neilson Direct | 2m | ★ Good | |||
This is a 'Heely' good problem, with a few different options. Nice pump with satisfying holds
|
||||||
V2 V1/2 | ★★ Gazzoni | 2m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Enjoyed this one. Potential for Dyno. Will be a harder climb if you don't have long arms
|
||||||
V0 | ★ The Whizzer | 3m | Average | |||
Great first move
|
||||||
V2 | ★ The Neilson | 5m | ★ Good | |||
Solid pump with many options. Some good moves. I'll have to get it next time as there was too much to develop this time around
|
||||||
Sun 28th Oct 2012 - Blues Point | ||||||
Life Aquatic Wall | ||||||
V5 | ★ Dislocation Station | 5m | ★★ Very Good | |||
So close! Am now getting both my hands onto the last hold, thanks to Brendon and his keen eye. I can see the end of this epic, though it may be found with pinched nerve and a dodgy hip - Killer full reach!
|
||||||
V4 | ★★ ELAP | 3m | ★★★ Classic | |||
smooth as silk. Wondering if i over graded this...
Need Traffic!!! |
||||||
Sun 21st Oct 2012 - Blues Point | ||||||
Peeking Patch | ||||||
V4 | FA ★★ Coal Train Blues | 5m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Great Moves, with nice holds right where you need them
|
||||||
V7 | ★★★ No Hard Feelings (Project 1) | 5m | ||||
Got the starting move worked, but there wasn't much skin on the fingers to keep trying
|
||||||
★ Open Project 3 (Project 2) | 5m | |||||
Reachy start off solid crimps. Fun project so far.
|
||||||
V6 | ★★★ Pockets of Power (Project 3) | 4m | ★★★ Mega Classic | |||
Unlike anything else in the area - 2/3 finger Pockets. Super fun start with powerful moves.
Stuck deciding if my fingers are more important than sticking the knife like iron crimp. Might have to embrace the pain so I can get to the 3rd pocket. |
||||||
V4 V3 | ★★ Saved By Ents | 4m | ||||
Got to the final slap, only to find a pile of dirt. To save myself from the fall, I shook hands with the tree, cleaned the hold and down climbed.
|
||||||
V4 | FA ★★ Saved By Ents | 4m | ||||
Awesome! great slapping action! A sweet array of slap and balance gets you to the final hold - search out the rounded ledge for the goods
|
||||||
V3 | FA ★ Tilted Traverse | 6m | ★ Good | |||
Overhang and side pulls = goodness
|

Kung Fu Captin Wall | ||||||
V2 | ★ Monkey Magic | 3m | ★★★ Classic | |||
V4 | ★ Mikes Magic (Project 1) | 3m | ★ Good | |||
Tough starting move. The little vertical crimpers have teeth and some serious balance is required to not swing right. A bit neglected compared to the other projects...
|
||||||
V4 | ★★★ Bruce Lee | 3m | ★★★ Mega Classic | |||
A pleasure every time! not quite warming up on Bruce Lee, but getting close
|
||||||
V1 | ★ Piked From The Start | 3m | ★★ Very Good | |||

V4 | ★★ ELAP | 3m | ★★★ Classic | |||
These moves are so natural now Stoked!
|
||||||
V5 | ★ Dislocation Station | 5m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Despite tears and sweat, this climb still evades me. Last move blues for sure!
|
||||||
V4 18 | ★★ Dislocate Then Elevate | 5m | ★ Good | |||
Solid highball with good last holds but a mean mind game. The words of my climbing friend rang true - "The hardest moves are mental" the pump and the height can through you off your game with this one if your not careful
- If in doubt its top rope eh?
|
