22 | ★ Drivetime - with James | 8m, 2 | Arapiles | ★★ Very Good | Wed 5th Feb 2014 | |||
Got to the top and could do all moves but just couldn't link them clean. Although it's short it's pumpy and fun with some big moves to reasonable holds. Really enjoyed this route plus it was in the shade! Need a cam or two for the top
|
||||||||
14 | ★ Beans Bounce Upwards - with Grace | 11m, 1 | Wahroonga | ★★ Very Good | Thu 1st Jan 2015 | |||
Seconded it after Grace led it for her first ever trad lead and first ever first ascent!
|
||||||||
12 | ★ Learn to Layback - with Grace | 6m | Middle Cove | Sat 15th Jun 2013 | ||||

10 | ★★ D Major - with James | 50m | Arapiles | ★★★ Mega Classic | Thu 30th Jan 2014 | |||
James led pitch 1 and I led pitch 2. Fantastic route, went to the right at the end of the second pitch after the roof and definitely recommend that - a fantastic way to finish the route, steep exposed climbing on massive jugs to top out. Amazing fun
|
||||||||
8 | ★★ Diapason - with James | 55m | Arapiles | ★★★ Mega Classic | Thu 6th Feb 2014 | |||
I led pitches 1 and 3 and James led pitch 2. Last climb of the trip and a really enjoyable climb on great rock. Even the chimney at the end was fun!

7 | ★ Little Revolver Crack - with James | 20m | Arapiles | ★ Good | Wed 29th Jan 2014 | |||

|
||||||||
6 | ★★ Guiding Light - with James | 60m | Arapiles | ★★★ Classic | Sat 1st Feb 2014 | |||
James led pitches 1 and 3 and I led pitch 2. Extremely easy climbing but nonetheless very enjoyable, the step across the void is great fun too!
|
||||||||
5 | ★★★ Tiptoe Ridge - with James | 120m | Arapiles | ★★★ Mega Classic | Sun 2nd Feb 2014 | |||
Got up early to do it on a day where it was supposed to hit 47C. Amazing route everyone who comes to Araps should do it! I led pitches 1 and 3 and James led pitches 2 and 4. Very easy but thoroughly enjoyable climbing, had no gear in on pitch 3 and the holds are so solid that you never feel worried, I love Arapiles rock!
|
||||||||
11 | ★★★ Agamemnon - with James | 40m | Arapiles | ★★★ Classic | Tue 4th Feb 2014 | |||
I led pitch 1 which was very easy and James led pitch 2 which was much more scary and exposed even on second! Amazing pitch though, the position and the moves at the end are fantastic
|
||||||||
6 | ★ Revolver Crack - with James | 20m | Arapiles | ★★ Very Good | Wed 29th Jan 2014 | |||
First day at Arapiles and first ever trad lead. Great climb to practice leading trad and placing gear and in the shade for most of the day as well
|
||||||||
11 | ★★ Piccolo - with James | 33m | Arapiles | ★★★ Classic | Thu 30th Jan 2014 | |||
Lead it in one pitch. Fantastic route!
|
||||||||
6 | ★★ Exodus - with James | 36m | Arapiles | ★★★ Classic | Sat 1st Feb 2014 | |||
Topped out as the sun was setting. Lovely way to finish the day and another great route

18 20 | ★ Zooloft - with James | 12m, 6 | Berowra | ★★★ Mega Classic | Wed 23rd Jan 2013 | |||
Took me a couple of go's to work out the start but after that the rest is pretty straight forward altough a bit pumpy. Awesome moves on awesome rock! The start and some other parts are still a little sandy but still a fantastic climb!

|
||||||||
19 18 | ★ Boundary Rider - with Grace | 10m, 5 | Berowra | Average | Sat 4th May 2013 | |||
Stayed left at the top so I guess 19? The start is overgrown with ferns and covered in mud so I started on wall thing and traversed in to meet boundary rider at the second bolt. Pretty dirty but some good moves nonetheless
|
||||||||
18 | ★★ Muscoviet Mosquito - with James | 15m, 5 | Narrabeen | ★★ Very Good | Wed 4th Sep 2013 | |||
Probably an alzheimers flash as it's been probably five years since I last climbed it and I couldn't remember anything. Really nice route though and a good one to warm up on
|
||||||||
18 | ★★ Lunatic - with James | 19m, 5 | Narrabeen | ★★ Very Good | Sat 31st Jan 2009 | |||
24 25 | ★★ Fat, Sallow and Drunk - with James | 20m, 5 | Narrabeen | ★ Good | Wed 4th Sep 2013 | |||
The first two thirds is fairly easy probably around 18 but the last third is very hard. I could do the first couple of hard moves at the last RB but the moves after that to the anchor look impossible for me
|
||||||||
16 | ★ Ag Science - with James Lacey | 18m, 4 | Narrabeen | ★★ Very Good | Wed 28th Nov 2012 | |||
Another fun balncy slab!

||||||||
18 | ★★ Manic - with James, Matty and Mikey | 17m, 4 | Narrabeen | ★★ Very Good | Sun 9th Dec 2012 | |||
Must be the 5th or 6th time I've done this route, still a good fun slab with a few balancy moves thrown in
|
||||||||
18 | ★ A - with James, Matty and Mikey | 10m, 4 | Narrabeen | ★ Good | Sun 9th Dec 2012 | |||

|
||||||||
21 | ★★ Mental Fatigue Direct Start - with Grace | 12m, 4 | Berowra | ★★ Very Good | Sat 18th May 2013 | |||

17 | ★★ Yesterday's Heroes - with James | 12m, 4 | Berowra | ★★★ Classic | Tue 15th Jan 2013 | |||
Awesome climb on really nice pockets another classic worth the 3 stars in the guide. Some of the holds were a little bit sandy but it is still a great climb
|
||||||||
19 | ★★ Ladder of Gloom - with James | 12m, 4 | Berowra | ★★★ Classic | Wed 23rd Jan 2013 | |||
Got to the top of ladder and realised I'd run out of jugs! Downclimbed and wedged myself in the cave for a bit of a rest and then climbed back to the top and clipped the anchors. Very fun climb!

22 21 | ★ Friendly Fire - with James | 12m, 4 | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Wed 28th Nov 2012 | |||
Really nice climb. Dogged my way to the top first go and thought I had worked out all the moves but on the 2nd shot I made it through the crux fine but couldn't get my hands right for the 2nd last clip, by the time I'd worked it out and clipped I was too pumped and fell off just after. Definitely one to come back to!
|
||||||||
21 | ★★ Mental Fatigue Direct Start - with James | 12m, 4 | Berowra | ★★ Very Good | Thu 28th Feb 2013 | |||
I've done MF before and it is quality so I thought I'd try the direct start. The pockets are surprisingly better than they look but I fell after the second bolt just where the direct start meets the rest of MF. Really nice climb and the direct start is quality too. I will come back to get it clean...

12 | ★ Jug City | 15m, 3 | Blue Mountains | ★ Good | Wed 28th Nov 2012 | |||

Nice thin slab
|
||||||||
19 | ★ Wall Thing - with Grace | 12m, 3 | Berowra | ★★ Very Good | Sat 4th May 2013 | |||
Finally had a crack at it when I wasn't completed buggered and sent it no worries. Bit sandy but some really nice moves. Try not to let the snake skin in the break scare you!
|
||||||||
18 | ★ Look Blue Go Purple - with James | 10m, 3 | Berowra | ★★ Very Good | Tue 15th Jan 2013 | |||
Got flash pumped and fell on the flash attempt just above 2nd bolt couldn't be bothered retying so reclimbed it with first two bolts already clipped in. Cruised it 2nd go, really nice climb with fun moves and an interesting start
|
||||||||
21 18 | ★ NFM - with James and Colin | 8m, 3 | Bangor West | ★ Good | Fri 1st Nov 2013 | |||
2nd go. Took a bit of playing around on the first attempt to work out the start moves and get my damn bolt plate on to the second carrot but after that was sorted and all the draws were on, it was pretty straight forward.
|
||||||||
18 20 | ★ Pyromaniac - with James and Colin | 9m, 3 | Bangor West | ★ Good | Fri 1st Nov 2013 | |||
Used the sidepull out left so I'm going to say it's an 18
|
||||||||
19 | ★ Wall Thing - with James | 12m, 3 | Berowra | ★★ Very Good | Wed 23rd Jan 2013 | |||
Last climb of the day, got to the anchors and managed to grab the top of the cliff at full stretch but I was too pumped to clip and fell off. Too pumped to attempt it clean again from the bottom so I just reclimbed from where I fell. Another fun berowra climb, looking forward to coming back and redpointing it!
|
||||||||
19 | ★ Comausminpab - with James | 12m, 3 | Berowra | ★ Good | Thu 28th Feb 2013 | |||
Supposed to be the warm up route for the day - couldn't find good enough holds to get over the roof and had to come down and let James have a go, he found a new good pocket and I was able to get over the lip with the new beta but still pumped out and fell just before the anchors. Unfortunately this warm up set the trend for the rest of the day...
|
||||||||
19 | ★ Wall Thing - with James | 12m, 3 | Berowra | ★★ Very Good | Thu 2nd May 2013 | |||
Pumped out again while trying it at the end of the day. Too pumped after trying Scones of Doom and Glamorpus
|
||||||||
22 | ★ Kiosks - with James | 12m, 3 | Narrabeen | ★ Good | Wed 4th Sep 2013 | |||
Took a few attempts to get the crux at the first RB but after that the climbing is fairly easy
|
||||||||
21 | ★ Killer's Kidneys - with James and Colin | 8m, 3 | Bangor West | ★ Good | Fri 1st Nov 2013 | |||
Pumped out about a metre from the top on the flash attempt and lunged for the jugs at the top when I should have used an intermediate hold.
|
||||||||
16 | ★ Ringo's Revenge - with Grace Wong | 10m, 2 | Middle Cove | ★ Good | Wed 28th Nov 2012 | |||

17 | ★ Ted Turd-Tossa - with James Lacey | 8m, 2 | Blue Mountains | ★ Good | Wed 28th Nov 2012 | |||
Nice little fun route

Really nice warm up, good holds and fun moves shame it's so short
|
||||||||
16 | Vanstone the Vampire - with James | 7m, 2 | Mt Ku-ring-gai | ★ Good | Wed 23rd Jan 2013 | |||
Short fun warm up though beware the midges and leeches!

21 | ★★ PTTP - with Grace | 8m, 1 | Wahroonga | ★ Good | Thu 1st Jan 2015 | |||
Fun little climb. I led it using the single carrot which doesnt really protect the top but the moves at the top are pretty easy so anyone who can get past the bottom half should be okay to top out safely
|
||||||||
21 | ★★ PTTP - with Grace | 8m, 1 | Wahroonga | Average | Sat 11th May 2013 | |||
Led it though had to rest on the rope at the bolt. Has a couple of hardish moves on fairly small holds but it's pretty short. 21ish?

16 | ★ Snoz Saddler - with Grace | 8m | Middle Cove | Sat 15th Jun 2013 | ||||
Had a large (5kg +) rock fall from the top of the cliff as my partner came down from climbing this route. It would have hit her in the head and could have killed her if I hadnt seen it falling and pushed it away with my hand. Needless to say be careful when climbing here and helmets might not be a bad idea!

17 | ★ 40 lashes - with Grace | 8m | The Stables | ★ Good | Thu 27th Dec 2012 | |||
Fun climb, first move is a bit height dependent I could reach the first pocket but my girlfriend couldn't which made the start much harder for her.
|
||||||||
17 | ★ Mohammeds teddy Bear - with Grace | 8m | The Stables | ★ Good | Thu 27th Dec 2012 | |||
Pretty easy if you're tall, my partner who is much shorter found the first move a lot harder.
|
||||||||
14 | ★ Clipz - with Grace, Roger and Alex | 10m | The Stables | ★ Good | Sun 30th Dec 2012 | |||
Fun enough climb. Roger and Alex's first outdoor climb!

18 | ★ Bunsen Honeydew - with James | 10m | The Stables | Average | Mon 11th Feb 2013 | |||
Big move past the first bolt I imagine it would be quite hard if you're short
|

14 | ★ Yoink - with Grace, Roger and Alex | 10m | The Stables | ★★ Very Good | Sun 30th Dec 2012 | |||
Quite enjoyed this climb, interesting mantle then nice jugs to finish.

||||||||
15 | ★ The Player of Games - with Grace, Roger and Alex | 9m | The Stables | Average | Sun 30th Dec 2012 | |||
Very sandy, pulled a heap of sand off into my eyes in the break and then fell off a sandy hold at the top clipping the anchors. Was a bit more careful 2nd time around and had no trouble.
|
||||||||
18 | ★ Suspect Zero - with Grace, Roger and Alex | 11m | The Stables | ★ Good | Sun 30th Dec 2012 | |||
Got it 2nd go. Whole climb comes down to one move, a very fingery crux going from the second to third bolt I was able to use height to make a big move to the good holds but without height it seems to be a very difficult move for the grade.
|
||||||||
20 | ★ Yerba - with James | 10m | The Stables | Average | Mon 11th Feb 2013 | |||
Hard moves to start though I'm not sure which holds are on for the climb and which aren't
|
||||||||
18 | ★ Dissociative Fugue - with James | 10m | The Stables | Average | Thu 7th Mar 2013 | |||
Warm up. Slipped off at pretty much the first move then did it clean.
|
||||||||
21 | ★ Unknown right - with James | 9m | The Stables | ★ Good | Thu 7th Mar 2013 | |||
First 21 redpoint! Not too hard, took a couple of tries to work out the start then had no problem with the rest of it, I think 3rd or 4th go.
|
||||||||
20 | ★ Bluntman - with James | 8m | The Stables | ★ Good | Mon 11th Feb 2013 | |||
Balancy mantle to start then enjoyable pumpy steepness
|

18 | ★★ C - with James, Matty and Mikey | 8m | Narrabeen | ★★ Very Good | Sun 9th Dec 2012 | |||
Awesome roof! Pumped out trying to clip the second last hanger. Now I've worked out the moves from there to the chains though I'm looking forward to coming back and redpointing it
