21 | ★★ Traverse of the Gods Direct Start - with Daniel Bush | 25m, 5 | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Sun 26th Jan 2020 | |||
Sensational!!! Hard start, so stick-clipping is a good idea! A couple of goes before first clip.

21 | ★★ Medieval Remedies - with Daniel Bush | 25m, 4 | The Cathedral | ★★ Very Good | Sun 24th Nov 2019 | |||
Real nice, but a bit contrived at the crux as there are too many lines up there. I'm not that sure I did the crux without cheating on a neighbour line... I started at GOOT, which was nice.

ok, things here became super weird. Chimney to the roof, then traversing right, and then the a mix of chicken wings, smears and laybacks. So cool though. Felt tricky to me, but never really hard. Just weird.

Andrew Dolan
Andrew led the harder part at the start, but had a bad day afterwards with my #5 getting overcammed and needing a long time to get it free. Andrew maneged to get it off but came down exhausted after. I "half led" it then, but I really had gear above me (so top roping) till almost the end of the trickier stuff. Then there was like a move or two and it became super easy after that. So I wouldn't mind coming back to lead this pitch. | 95m, 3 | Arapiles | ★★★ Classic | Sat 27th Jan 2024 | |||
Holy shit, really cool but a tad awkward at times. Gotta come back!

19 | ★★ Bad Luck Silverback - with Emily Hoffmann | 12m, 1 | Joll's Bridge | ★★ Very Good | Tue 3rd Dec 2019 | |||
This is pretty cool! Lost the onsight because I didn't quite commit to the lip of the flake. Good mental test. The top is cool as well. Well worth doing!
|
||||||||
21 | ★★★ Extra G - with Josh Battersby | 18m, 1 | Morialta | ★★ Very Good | Sat 11th Mar 2023 | |||
So stoked to red point this! I sussed out the gear on top rope first, so had the perfect plan for all my pieces. Gets thin on top, so it's a spicy lead, but once you know the moves and where to protect, it becomes a straightforward mission! It helps that when you are really pumped there is a bolt, and the most likely fall at the top is on that...
|
||||||||
20 | ★★★ Power Play - with Emily | 25m | Mountain Quarry | ★★★ Mega Classic | Thu 25th Jan 2018 | |||
On the day before I left Perth I decided to face this beast on lead for the first time, after having top-roped it a couple of times a few weeks ago. I cruised up, protected it perfectly and did it clean, I was stoked. It's less scary when you know you can do it easily on top rope, but super intimidating for an onsight...
|

14 | ★★ Banana Split - with Emily Hoffmann | 30m | Wilyabrup | ★★★ Classic | Fri 12th Oct 2018 | |||

18 | ★★ Boomer Crack - with Emily Hoffmann | 18m | Pinjarra | ★★ Very Good | Mon 5th Apr 2021 | |||
Finally!! My other try at this was so long ago this could almost count as an onsight, but I won't cheat this time... So much fun, but if I remember to keep calm next time I might not fill the 'scream/swear jar' so much.

10 | ★ Caledonian Way - with Robin Fletcher, Zaquan Alizan | 27m | Churchman's Brook | Average | Sun 3rd Jul 2016 | |||
Damn, I was gonna call this an onsight but apparently I seconded it last year. Funny that I can't remember that at all!! It was a bit more fun this time cause I lead it, and had fun practicing placing gear as a newbie... Ok for a first trad lead, but Pink Knickers is better...
|

19 18 | ★★★ One For The Road - with Aparna Ramesh | 18m | Wilyabrup | ★★★ Mega Classic | Sat 5th Nov 2016 | |||
Came back two weeks later to send it — knowing the move out of the roof and how to protect it gave me all the confidence to do it, and it actually felt really easy. A climb that really is all about having the guts to move over the roof!
|
||||||||
18 | ★★★ The Climb - with James, Robin | 23m | West Cape Howe | ★★★ Mega Classic | Sun 15th Jan 2017 | |||
This WCH trip was basically a mission to climb this magnificent route. Despite the fact that the grade is not that impressive, the exposure of this route makes it a difficult mental game for me, I have sweaty hands just remembering it. Definitely one of my proudest ascents ever, and also one of my hardest trad leads. I am sure I'll be back!
|
||||||||
14 | ★ Flight of The Quokka - with Kate | 15m | Kalbarri | ★★ Very Good | Sun 4th Jun 2017 | |||
Liked it more than I expected. I still think leading this is a bit bold, despite every move actually being easy. The start is the trickiest... Not a flash cause I seconded Kate on this a while back.
|

12 | ★ Hipster Crack - with Lizzie | 20m | Statham's Quarry | ★ Good | Thu 24th Aug 2017 | |||
Took Lizzie up this, I love it, but I really wish it was twice as long at least... The 20m here is wrong, more like 12m. The grade 12 is not accurate either, it's a bit harder than that...

21 | ★ Super Exciting Xylophone - with Emily Hoffmann | 25m | Barrenjoey | ★ Good | Sun 22nd Jul 2018 | |||
Incredible desperate ultra delicate start on minuscule crimps. A couple of falls on the first bolt before cruising up on the third try... The pillar is sensational, I think this would deserve more starts if it wasn't so hard to protect in the middle. Scary, make sure to have mid-size cams and little consideration for your own safety.

great onsight of the cruxy start by Ross! I'll log a dog cause I came off early, but the rope stretch almost got me back to the belay, so I still felt like a full clean ascent on second. The old man lets the team down I guess it was never going to be a team onsight cause I'd been on this before.

Bouldery move from the belay, then getting easier and into a stroll... At the end of this is where you can easily end up on the wrong anchors on the left (BBB I think), but if you go around the right of the tree and climb the last bolted block you are heading the right way.

we asked Charlie to link 5 and 6 and he thought it was a buy 2 get 1 free and linked this one too What a beast – I don't recommend it cause when the leader is doing harder moves in pitch 7 the belayer is super far away managing a lot of rope drag (maybe the drag would have caught a fall?)

Bruno Alves Buzatto
yes, finally, this is the shit!! The traverse is amazing and looks so intimidating. But it's all juggy and with a cave you can rest in at the end (or at least knee bar), so it's pretty easy actually. Moving onto the arete on jugs is also easy if you use the rest well — the boys with me probably considered that aid!

Better than I remembered with a bouldery move at the start of the wall (after the easy slab/scramble) and a fun delicate finish. | 280m, 99 | Blue Mountains | Fri 1st Dec 2023 | ||||
Coming back with 2 young guns to do a repeat and get my lead on pitch 8, finally! Was worried about weather but we were super lucky with better than the forecast conditions. Felt way more relaxed on every pitch, but came off while seconding the start of P3 — funnily that went clean first try with Tim years ago, even though I was definitely weaker then. Realized I never led that pitch either, so that's the reason to get back on it!

| 45m, 13 | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Mon 8th Apr 2024 | |||
Not what we had planned for today, but the NP tracks closure (due to 150mm of rain the other day) and the 4 stars of this route in the book got us here. Pretty tricky first pitch, and the belay at the top of it is awkward with the 2 old carrots of TGITM and one new ring 1.5m to the right of it. In my opinion the second pitch made it up for it as it is beautiful, long, and can be made easy with some technique. Great scenery too. Well worth it for the second pitch, but I can see how the first one can be loved or hated... I suspect some people move into The End of the Affair too early — you unavoidable get onto this route at the end by following the most obvious line of new ring bolts after P1, so I suggest not moving right too early if you don't have gear!

Did this a few times to get a top rope on Stolen Glory and Bonking Penguins, then decided to add it to the crag as that traverse on the top is fun. I just need to clean it properly someday cause it gets no traffic and is very dirty with a couple of potentially lose blocks...

It's a very nice warm-up climb at the crag, especially for a "mental warm up" for leading. Most moves are very easy (there is an interesting mantle before the second bolt). For the beginner leader, it might be worth carrying a couple of big cams to shorten the run out at the top.

Putting gear up for Lizzie, Emily and JP. First route of the day, not sure I want to warm up on it again though!

I had to try that first move a couple of times, but it is a great climb, really enjoyed it! A bit scary to clip the second bolt and to top out, but not that bad, the first move is where it's all at!

Really enjoyedit! Second go, and then a third to clip both anchors (just clipped one in the second go). Knowing the sequence, unsurprisingly, is everything...

this doesn't deserve a start I reckon. It's less shit if you go left at the start.

Came back to do this beauty clean with Em; and also with Jorge and Patricia as a second party just below us It was fantastic this time around, and Em got a big exposure experience, with hang belays and all. The bad bit is that I screwed up the approach — remember to walk DOWN the gully after the first abseil, rather than traverse high (which is actually the walk out after the first 3 real pitches). Also it was cold as hell in the beginning and the fingers were VERY numb. Not again in a cold day in the shade...

Finally worked out to do this with Daniel — what a day out. Left Schofields at ~4:20am, carpark at 5:20am, walking in from about 5:40am, starting climbing just after 8am, out of the wall by 2pm, back to car at 3pm, or something like that. This time I found the third pitch trickier than I remembered and the 7th pitch not so bad, just long... It was awesome to lead pitch 6th this time though, what a pitch. What a climb! Perfect weather too, chilly but sunny and no wind

I love this climb! Putting the gear on this time, as on my previous ascent on it I had Andrew's draws up there for me.

Great option for a hot day!! I'll claim this, but I didn't do the whole traverse, I went up where the 22 goes up I think, avoiding the crux of that one I guess...
