25 | ★★ Swinging In The Rain - with Lewyy | 20m, 13 | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Sat 11th Apr 2015 | |||
Went easily on the second shot. Well earned after a face full of semi-dry bird poo in the roof.
|
||||||||
25 | ★ Thunderstruck - with Lewyy | 45m, 17 | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Sun 19th Apr 2015 | |||
A great line, slightly tainted by some choss through the middle, but the location doesn't get much better. Second shot today.
|
||||||||
25 | ★★ Taxi Driver | 20m, 9 | Blue Mountains | ★ Good | Sun 26th Apr 2015 | |||
First shot today, executed the crux statically. That move is way harder than Swinging in the Rain, and with a pumpier headwall before hand. I don't like raising grades, but that is the conclusion drawn by a few of today's ascensionists.
|
||||||||
24 25 | ★★★ Madge McDonald | 12m, 7 | Blue Mountains | ★★★ Classic | Sun 25th Sep 2016 | |||
Fell off the last move second shot, then resorted the beta and sent on the third.
|
||||||||
24 | ★★ Communal Spoon | 15m | The Woolwash | ★★★ Classic | Sat 31st May 2014 | |||
Finally vanquished
|
||||||||
24 | ★★ Expectorant - with L. Gliganic | 15m, 4 | The Cathedral | ★★ Very Good | Mon 9th Jun 2014 | |||
There are harder 21's at the crag...imogen (cough). Beautiful sequence to circumvent the dyno. Fun climbing, but not sustained.
|
||||||||
24 | ★★★ The Junkyard Dog | 17m | The Woolwash | ★★ Very Good | Sat 19th Jul 2014 | |||
There are no unique or hard moves, but the position is cool. Stuffed up the the onsight moving to the upper break.
|
||||||||
24 | ★★★ Lean Beef | 15m, 6 | Bonnet Bay | ★★★ Classic | Tue 22nd Jul 2014 | |||
So many dynos, so much foot cutting, had to dial in the throw through the second crux. It reminds me of a harder version of "welcome to the body shop".
|
||||||||
23 24 | ★ Survival Day | 20m, 10 | Blue Mountains | Average | Mon 6th Oct 2014 | |||
That move is at the absolute limit of my wingspan.
|
||||||||
24 | ★★★ Reactorvate - with Heath Black | 13m, 5 | Lucas Heights | ★★★ Classic | Fri 6th Feb 2015 | |||
A super route, and I wish it was longer. Hot tip, just keep punching after the sloper traverse. Just because other people are bringing in the comparison, Lean Beef is definitely harder, but not as technical.
|
||||||||
24 | ★★ Jaqueline Hyde | 15m, 6 | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Sun 1st Mar 2015 | |||
Would be classic if the third bolt wasn't such a task to place the draw. Had a look at the extension... Two easy moves then (?).
|
||||||||
24 | ★★ The Tube | 12m | Blue Mountains | ★ Good | Sun 1st Mar 2015 | |||
Your choice of hand placement on the first move likely determines success. Wish it was ten meters longer. Jugs the whole way.
|
||||||||
24 | ★★ Blowtorch - with Lewyy | 18m, 10 | Blue Mountains | ★★★ Classic | Sat 28th Mar 2015 | |||
First shot today, second overall, stoked. Bomber rock, and nice bouldering moves between great rests. Thanks for hanging the draws Luigi!
|
||||||||
24 | ★★★ Chunk To Chunky | 25m | Nowra | ★★★ Classic | Sat 8th Aug 2015 | |||
Very classy.
|
||||||||
24 | ★★★ Betty Blue | 20m, 6 | Nowra | ★★★ Classic | Sat 8th Aug 2015 | |||
Hadn't been on this in ages, and needed to create new beta for the crux. Top sloper section is kinda shit.
|
||||||||
23 24 | ★★ A Most Profligate Sinner | 18m | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Sun 8th May 2016 | |||
2nd shot after hanging the draws. 1 tough move, but a great route.
|
||||||||
24 | ★★ Ratcat | 14m | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Sun 9th Oct 2016 | |||
Really good climb for a boulderer. 3 cruxes with 2 good rests. Would have sent second shot, but I must have been thinking about the cinnamon scroll in my bag, because I had to redevelop a sequence for the last crux. Sent third shot, and still felt relatively fresh at the anchor. Rubber Lover, Apraxia, Ratcat, and Junket Pumper are all the same...don't pump out then high crimp sequence to glory. Good thing to be tackling them all at once
|
||||||||
24 | ★★ Junket Pumper | 15m | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Sun 23rd Oct 2016 | |||
It took me way to many goes to get this, but marked my progression as a climber. Now it's worked into the Glen warm up circuit.
|
||||||||
23 | ★★★ Los Hermanos de la Denitente - with L Gliganic | 10m, 4 | Mount Alexandra | ★★★ Classic | Sun 8th Sep 2013 | |||
Pumpy, thank goodness for the rest jug after the crux.
|
||||||||
23 | ★★★ Ruthless Babe | 12m, 5 | Bluebell | ★★ Very Good | Sun 8th Sep 2013 | |||
23 | ★ Hairy Horrace - with L. Gliganic | 12m | Blue Mountains | ★ Good | Sun 8th Sep 2013 | |||
23 | ★★ Bitch'n - with L. Gliganic | 12m, 5 | Bluebell | ★★ Very Good | Wed 16th Oct 2013 | |||
Climbs better above the crux than Ruthless Babes.
|
||||||||
23 | ★★ Early Bird - with L. Gliganic | 15m, 6 | The Woolwash | Average | Sat 2nd Nov 2013 | |||
Awesome crux move right off the bat, and a great crimpy finish. In between those sections is pumpy rubbish. Still worth doing if you're already on Negative Funk.
|
||||||||
21 23 | ★★ Imogen - with L. Gliganic | 15m, 7 | The Cathedral | ★★ Very Good | Sat 7th Dec 2013 | |||
A little overrated, but good between bolts 3-5. While belaying my buddy, a brick size footer popped off the extension, and came within 50cm of my face. Close one.
|
||||||||
23 | ★★ Tracksuit Time Warp - with L. Gliganic | 12m | The Woolwash | ★ Good | Wed 29th Jan 2014 | |||
Linking through the mantle took a few tries, which was a consequence of an uncertain clipping position and stuffing up the pocket dyno. It's a very pumpy little number...clipped into one anchor, and the tank was empty. 36 degrees in Campbelltown:(
|
||||||||
23 | ★★ Fifty Shades of Mt Druitt. - with L. Gliganic | 25m | The Woolwash | ★★★ Classic | Thu 6th Feb 2014 | |||
2nd shot. Pumped out hanging the draws first go, next attempt wanted more at the anchors.
|
||||||||
23 | ★ Check out my Junk | 8m, 5 | The Woolwash | ★★ Very Good | Sat 15th Feb 2014 | |||
First shot of the day. How can such a short route be so draining?
|
||||||||
23 | ★★ Sixteen and Pregnant | 15m, 9 | The Woolwash | ★★ Very Good | Sat 31st May 2014 | |||
Surprisingly good, wish it was 10 m longer
|
||||||||
23 | ★★★ Hercules Extension (Hercules Direct Finish) - with L. Gliganic | 22m | The Cathedral | ★★★ Mega Classic | Mon 9th Jun 2014 | |||
Felt so good to send despite the rain, best climb I have done thus far. Running it out is a great motivational tool.
|
||||||||
23 | ★★ Pulling On the Porcelain | 12m | Nowra | ★★★ Classic | Sat 12th Jul 2014 | |||
2 kneebars and a sit on the stone pony...thanks for the armor, Ben. Enter sandman next.
|
||||||||
23 | ★ Penriff girls put out. | 7 | The Woolwash | ★ Good | Sat 19th Jul 2014 | |||
Sequency after the campus. Not hard on second shot, but over very quickly. CG may be a more interesting version.
|
||||||||
23 | ★★ Reigning Steel | 17m, 7 | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Mon 8th Sep 2014 | |||
Warm up?
|
||||||||
21 23 | ★ V Lix The Cat | 15m | Nowra | Average | Sat 13th Sep 2014 | |||
Very contrived, and there are better climbs on the wall.
|
||||||||
23 | ★★ Goats Meat - with Matt Brooks | 25m, 12 | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Mon 5th Jan 2015 | |||
Great ending and nice exposure. Why not double up on midway lower offs instead of a single non locking biner? Best warm up for the harder climbs when you know the moves.
|
||||||||
23 | ★★ Nev Herrod | 12m, 5 | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Wed 7th Jan 2015 | |||
Good warm up if you've been on it before. I didn't bump my right hand up before the crux throw and fell. 2nd shot easy.
|
||||||||
23 | ★ Acceptably Cosmic | 10m | Blue Mountains | Average | Wed 7th Jan 2015 | |||
One of my oldest dogs. Easy moves, but the pump still almost got me at the anchors. 1st shot
|
||||||||
23 | ★★ Split Wave | 20m | Blue Mountains | ★★★ Classic | Wed 7th Jan 2015 | |||
1st shot today, and very enjoyable when you're not already thrashed.
|
||||||||
23 | ★ Truffle Shuffle - with Heath Black | 15m, 12 | Blue Mountains | ★ Good | Sat 21st Feb 2015 | |||
Way easier when fresh, hanging the draws today. Enjoyable, but could be even better connecting this start to Rocky Road.
|
||||||||
23 | ★ Off the Lip | 15m, 7 | Blue Mountains | ★ Good | Sun 8th Mar 2015 | |||
Done hanging the draws
|
||||||||
23 | ★★★ Hot Flyer | 25m | Blue Mountains | ★★★ Classic | Sat 14th Mar 2015 | |||
Fantastic. Stuffed the high undercling crux on the onsite. Second go, no worries.
|
||||||||
23 | ★★ Crime Is Art - with Lewyy | 10m | Nowra | ★★ Very Good | Sat 4th Apr 2015 | |||
Did this back in 12/14.
|
||||||||
23 | ★★ Chain of Fools - with Rob Medlicott, Paul Frothy Thomson | 15m | Victoria Range | ★★ Very Good | Sat 9th May 2015 | |||
First route in the gramps, not much was dry today. Great rock.
|
||||||||
23 | ★★★ Bondage and Discipline | 23m | Nowra | ★★★ Classic | Sat 13th Jun 2015 | |||
I forgot the safe word...and loved it.
|
||||||||
21 23 | ★★ Carnivaughan | 15m, 6 | Nowra | Average | Sat 4th Jul 2015 | |||
Headed for an onsite until a hold snapped. The rock is quite shit around these climbs.
|
||||||||
23 | ★★ Ces poches sont Naturels | 16m, 6 | Nowra | ★★★ Classic | Sat 11th Jul 2015 | |||
This is too classy for Bundy . Spectacular route, techo and a bit burly to start. Would be mega with a few more moves. 2nd shot.
|
||||||||
23 | ★★ Cutopia | 20m | Blue Mountains | ★★★ Classic | Sat 16th Apr 2016 | |||
Great way to get back into thin crimpy sequences, and a good compliment to the adjacent 22.
|
||||||||
23 | ★★★ Lyptus | 23m, 8 | Blue Mountains | ★★★ Classic | Sun 24th Apr 2016 | |||
Totally underestimated this route. It can be very reachy through the crux, and there are a lot of big moves. Sent second shot.
|
||||||||
22 | ★ Lady Ger-Ger - with L. Gliganic, D. MItchell | 15m, 6 | The Woolwash | ★★ Very Good | Sat 12th Oct 2013 | |||
Really great first few moves, and then big reaches above the slab.
|
||||||||
22 | ★ Room With a View - with L. Gliganic | 8m, 4 | The Wastelands | ★ Good | Fri 18th Oct 2013 | |||
Packs a punch, and solid for the grade. Great dyno move to the top ledge. Needed a good brushing, but even then it would be difficult without an incredible ape index.
|
||||||||
22 | ★★ Hercules - with L. Gliganic | 15m | The Cathedral | ★★★ Classic | Sat 19th Oct 2013 | |||
Such a great climb all the way through. I did the route clean, and then unlocked a sequence for the direct finish, but the exposure encouraged a tactical retreat from the final slopers (Runout!). Hang a sling from the extension anchor on the way down from your car. Very happy with this one.
|
||||||||
22 | ★★ 97% McDougall Free - with L. Gliganic | 12m, 4 | Bluebell | ★★ Very Good | Thu 24th Oct 2013 | |||
Reachy and underrated, an initial big throw adjacent to the corner is not the greatest move, but still a very good route overall.
|
||||||||
22 | ★ Meaty Mesmo | 10m | Nowra | ★ Good | Sat 5th Apr 2014 | |||
2nd shot
|
||||||||
22 | ★ Interior Castle - with L. Gliganic | 20m, 8 | Lucas Heights | Average | Tue 6th May 2014 | |||
If you like bird shit, you'll love this climb.

22 | ★★★ Renovators Dream | 20m, 8 | Nowra | ★★★ Mega Classic | Sat 14th Jun 2014 | |||
22 | ★★ Killer Boas | 10m | Nowra | ★★ Very Good | Sat 14th Jun 2014 | |||
Jugs where you need them.

22 | ★★ Murdoch the Horse Fucker | 12m, 5 | Nowra | ★★★ Classic | Fri 20th Jun 2014 | |||
22 | ★★ Electro Rooter | 12m | Nowra | ★★ Very Good | Fri 20th Jun 2014 | |||
This is dialed in now. Might be my new warm up for this wall.
|
||||||||
22 | ★★ Ergonomics | 12m, 5 | The Hide Away | ★★ Very Good | Sat 21st Jun 2014 | |||
I really need to see somebody about this. Pulled out slack to clip the anchors for the onsight, but decided to take a whipper instead.
|
||||||||
22 | ★★ Jack Spaniel | 14m, 6 | The Hide Away | ★ Good | Sat 28th Jun 2014 | |||
Struggled with someone else's techie beta down low. Regrouped, and sent immediately using thug power.
|
||||||||
22 | ★★ A Tufa to Far - with Jake | 25m | Bungonia Gorge | ★ Good | Sat 26th Jul 2014 | |||
Almost got the flash, but anchor access required a sequence and not a blind throw. Got it second shot, cool slab to start, but the top is chossssss.
|
||||||||
22 | ★ Nowra-cised | 10m, 3 | Nowra | ★ Good | Sat 2nd Aug 2014 | |||
I'm not very creative when trying to solve a crux. Easy on second shot.
|
||||||||
22 | ★★ Sister Rosa | 18m, 8 | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Tue 6th Jan 2015 | |||
Hot tip, don't follow the chalk on the first few moves. Sent straight after a beta spray.
|
||||||||
22 | ★ Rocky Road - with Jason Lammers | 15m | Blue Mountains | ★ Good | Thu 12th Feb 2015 | |||
The moves get better in quality above the tough start. Rock quality brings down the rating a bit... Might have flashed if a handhold stayed put, who knows.
|
||||||||
22 | ★★ Daffy | 20m | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Sat 21st Feb 2015 | |||
I surrendered at the low crux to conserve energy for the remainder of the day...uber pumpy. Second shot was a great experience Could be a suitable warm up if you are familiar with the route.
|
||||||||
22 | ★★ These People are Sandwiches | 15m | Blue Mountains | ★★★ Classic | Mon 9th Mar 2015 | |||
Fell at the roof using silly footwork, then straight to the top. Second Shot ticked, and a great way to end the extended weekend.
|
||||||||
22 | ★★ Lardy Lady's Lats (The Lardy Lady's Lats) | 25m, 13 | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Sat 14th Mar 2015 | |||
Great route. Harder slab to start and then an easier (than hot flyer) crux, but very techy (my fail). Second shot.
|
||||||||
22 | ★★ Nylon Happy - with Lewyy | 20m, 8 | Blue Mountains | ★★★ Classic | Fri 27th Mar 2015 | |||
Yeah, those moves were rad. Fell up high by mixing up my sequence. 2nd shot
|
||||||||
22 | ★ Hunted Child - with Lewyy | 8m | Nowra | ★★ Very Good | Sat 4th Apr 2015 | |||
Worked my butt off for this. Just had to tweak my beta at the high crux, sendage.
|
||||||||
22 | ★★ Pissed-Up Porker Stalker | 22m, 9 | Nowra | ★★ Very Good | Sat 13th Jun 2015 | |||
Fell doing a silly throw instead of thinking the move out first. 2nd shot, cruisey.
|
||||||||
22 | ★★ Violent Flemm | 22m | Nowra | ★★ Very Good | Sat 13th Jun 2015 | |||
Brilliant sustained climbing
|
||||||||
22 | ★★ The Other White Meat | 12m | Nowra | ★★ Very Good | Sat 8th Aug 2015 | |||
It's on from the moment you pull on, and trades hold size for pump above the crux.. Not my strength, but I love a good flogging
|
||||||||
22 | ★★ Spread 'em Baby | 25m | Blue Mountains | ★★★ Classic | Sat 16th Apr 2016 | |||
Best climb on the wall, and a good warm up. A bit of a classic at the grade, full weight bearing head height kneebar for victory.
|
||||||||
21 | ★★ Welcome to the Body Shop - with L. Gliganic | 12m, 5 | Bluebell | ★★★ Mega Classic | Sun 8th Sep 2013 | |||
It's hard not to look awesome while climbing this gem, and the crux is a prereq for many of the link ups.
|
||||||||
21 | ★★ Negative Funk - with L. Gliganic | 15m, 7 | The Woolwash | ★ Good | Sat 14th Sep 2013 | |||
Pretty good route. I hadn't sport climbed in ages, so once the cobwebs were gone, and I dropped a knee through the top crux, all was sweet. Heaps of variety in the climbing style with kneebars and fist jams to keep you semi fresh.
|
||||||||
21 | ★ Sin City - with L. Gliganic, | 6m, 6 | The Woolwash | ★ Good | Sat 12th Oct 2013 | |||
It's punchy, and the key is all in the feet. Would have been easier without an injured finger. Still working on the 23 next door.
|
||||||||
21 | ★ Scrambletown - with L.G. | 10m, 4 | The Woolwash | ★ Good | Sun 5th Jan 2014 | |||
Very fun boulder route, but difficult to onsight. The hardest part is figuring out where to clip the 3rd bolt from.
|
||||||||
21 | ★★ Tits and Bits | 10m, 2 | Bangor West | ★ Good | Fri 1st Feb 2013 | |||
Tough start
|
||||||||
21 | ★ Housos | 10m, 6 | The Woolwash | ★ Good | Tue 27th May 2014 | |||
Good, but some dodgy stone exfoliation happening in that roof.
|
||||||||
21 | ★★ Up the Alley | 20m | Nowra | ★★ Very Good | Sat 14th Jun 2014 | |||
Fell trying to mimic beta at the second bolt...sigh, it's all intuitive
|
||||||||
20 21 | ★★ Je Baise Ma Frangine (Je Baise Ma Fraigne) | 12m | Nowra | ★★ Very Good | Sat 14th Jun 2014 | |||
Switches gears at the break.
|
||||||||
21 | ★ Hawk Habitat | 12m, 5 | The Hide Away | ★ Good | Sat 28th Jun 2014 | |||
Should have onsighted this, but there was an insidious pump following the first few moves. Very awkward start.
|
||||||||
20 21 | ★★ Sister Moon | 15m, 6 | Alfords Point | ★ Good | Fri 11th Jul 2014 | |||
Tough nut. Desperate move at second bolt.
|
||||||||
21 | ★★ Bulleit | 13m, 5 | Bourbon Wall | ★★ Very Good | Sat 24th Jan 2015 | |||
Conditions were South East Asian today. Blew off the top jugs after taking my sweet time through the hard bits.
|
||||||||
21 | ★ Lick The Pig - with Lewyy | 10m | Nowra | ★ Good | Sun 5th Apr 2015 | |||
Great with a bit of crack lowering the quality through the middle. It helps to have big muscle strength with strong fingers for the shallow pockets.
|
||||||||
21 | ★★ Word on a Wing | 22m | Nowra | ★★ Very Good | Sat 13th Jun 2015 | |||
Tough to warm up if you don't know the crux sequence or are under six foot. 2nd shot
|
||||||||
21 | ★★ Gorilla Gardening | 15m, 6 | Nowra | ★★ Very Good | Sat 4th Jul 2015 | |||
Give this another grade, and again for an onsite. Don't warm up on this line, it is actually quite fantastic, but is very tricky to read and gives not quarter through a long crux sequence in the middle.
|
||||||||
21 | ★★ A Day at the Beach | 15m, 6 | Nowra | ★ Good | Sat 27th Jun 2015 | |||
Meh

21 | ★ Vague Flake | 15m | Nowra | ★★★ Classic | Sat 27th Jun 2015 | |||
Will get even better...
|
||||||||
21 | ★★ Diprotodon | 22m | Nowra | ★★★ Classic | Sat 13th Jun 2015 | |||
2nd shot. That start move is tough.
|
||||||||
21 | ★ FUnked Up - with Grant Stewart | 12m | GFC | ★ Good | Sun 26th Jul 2015 | |||
Misread the move on the warm up, sent 2nd shot
|
||||||||
21 | ★★ Medieval Remedies | 25m, 4 | The Cathedral | ★ Good | Sat 25th Jun 2016 | |||
Foot slipped before the first bolt at about 4m, and I was caught falling back first by a green totem, my new favorite cam. I was ecstatic to finally cross that mental barrier. I sent right after ,and the route was really good, but contrived up top. You have to choose to do the crux, and find yourself packed in between too many lines.

20 | ★ Fatboy - with L. Gliganic | 10m, 4 | The Wastelands | ★★ Very Good | Fri 18th Oct 2013 | |||
Was going to warm up on the adjacent 17, but that needs a power washer. Definitely possible to onsight now that is clean. This pretty much goes for all the climbs along the Rainbow Wall.

20 | ★★ Sidetrack | 18m, 7 | Nowra | ★ Good | Sat 5th Jul 2014 | |||
Got lost because it goes all over the joint, but added extra style by going over the rooflet with a heel hook, and layback. Skipped the last bolt and ran it out 6 or 7 meters.
|
||||||||
19 20 | ★ Lame Duck - with Jake | 15m | Bungonia Gorge | Average | Sat 26th Jul 2014 | |||
First experience on limestone...yeah, not great. Full on and sequency for a warm up. I said no to the flash pump. Gilding the Lily is a better first climb.

20 | ★ Rock Snob | 12m, 4 | Blue Mountains | Crap | Sat 30th Aug 2014 | |||
Two crux approaches to this pile of choss: 1)tall people to the left, 2)all others to the right.
