26 Sirocco - with Justin Pang Mixed trad 52m, 5 Mega Classic
Totally awesome! After I spent the first day of the trip losing skin trying the crux and then falling off the top on shot, I did it on the next day putting the gear in (very close to pumping out trying to get the bolt at the bulge-crux clipped! A very HB bolt placement). Stoked

Thompson's Point The Pocketed Wall
26 Muscle Hustler - with Marcus Loane Sport 35m Mega Classic
I finally did the top pitch as well!! I'd rpped down it years agoand inspected the funky crux. Today it was very nice to climb the orange head wall in the afternoon sun. Incredible from bottom to top! What a cool journey

The Grotto Cliffline The Hood Area
30 Pimp Behind The Wheel - with Ouita Broadfoot Sport 12m Mega Classic

Sat 18th May 2019 - Nowra
Bomaderry Creek Cheesedale Leftside
30 The Wheel of Cheese - with Justin Pang Sport 30m, 15 Mega Classic
An epic journey since Luke Magill and I were eyeballing these potential lines many years back. This year I got right into training for this beast, I even tried to learn to do bat hangs. In the end it just required getting a bit fitter and a tad stronger. The send finally arrived after quite a few punts from the lip, each time getting that little bit further.. trying to visualise without adding to the pressure, trying to enjoy each burn because climbing is meant to be fun. In the end it was fun, the whole process including training and figuring out the beta. Dangling from the big pockets on the headwall on the final burn is a unique memory, along with lots of great days at the crag with good people. THANKYOU ROCK CLIMBING!!

Katoomba Area Ngula Bulgarabang/ Radiata Plateau The Pit Sector 'Pit Fighter'
27 Mono No Aware - with paul meharg Sport 25m Mega Classic
1st go of the day after dogging it last year. The body remembered everything except the top slab! A lot of resting on small holds, going up then back down until the sequence worked. Luckily held on to the clip the chains of an absolute classic! Feeling light, a great climbing day

 
28 Sword Of Damocles - with Justin Pang Sport 25m Classic
Awesome! Tried last year and came back to do it first go of the day, a magic feeling of lightness. The body remembered the movement better than the brain. Fantastic route at a sick crag!!

 
Mon 17th Sep 2018 - Nowra
Bomaderry Creek Cheesedale Leftside
29 Metamorphosis - with Marcus Loane, Justin Pang Sport 20m, 6 Very Good
Very good once you give it a good dusting. Previous attempts had flailed, today it all felt pretty smooth!! Much easier in dry conditions! I wish the big cheese boulder wasn't so hard so it could keep going...!

The Grotto Cliffline P.C.
29 28 Meet The G (Meet The G (1st Lower)) - with Justin Pang Sport 17m Classic

28 Public Domain - with Paul Meharg and Luke Magill Sport 12m Classic

Bomaderry Creek Cheesedale Leftside
28 Curds of Prey - with Luke Magill Sport 25m, 14 Mega Classic
Yes! I was hoping to find an easier line to the top of the wall and here it is. Still 2 projects to go headin further left, but this line stands alone as a steep prow of quality rock, ground dropping away 'neath your feet the whole way. Unique and fun. I'm very glad this section of climbing is now open for everyone to enjoy- get on it!!
