Really enjoyed this one. Did it from the proper low start. Hard pulls.
|
||||||
V7 | ★★ Muy Forte Left | 4m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Took a few shots to do the first move again, bunched for tall people. First go once I stuck the left side pull. Lovely movement.

Second ascent after Danny. Quite nice.
|
||||||

V7 Hard | ★★ Talos | 4m | ★★★ Classic | |||

Third try. Quite fun.

Sat 3rd Jun 2023 - Pierce's Creek | ||||||
Laurel Camp Rd Tumblers | ||||||
V4 ~V5 | ★ Verre | 3m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Shame the boulder at the base makes the first move awkward otherwise it would be classic. Unlikely movement which stumped me on a previous session but went first go today.
|
||||||
V1 | ★ Crystaline | 3m | ★ Good | |||
V0 | ★ Beker RHV | 3m | ★ Good | |||
V2 | ★★ Taza (#13) | 3m | ★★ Very Good | |||

Laurel Camp Rd Tumblers | ||||||
V5 | ★★★ Brown Trousers Arete — 2 attempts | 5m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Flashed up to the lip but chickened out without a spotter. Took the plunge. Went okay the next shot with some more mental grit.
|
||||||
Mon 24th Apr 2023 - Nowra | ||||||
The Grotto Cliffline The Grotto Proper | ||||||
19 | ★★ Alien Space Monsters | 25m, 9 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Interesting position on the arete. There are a couple of no fall zones on this.
|
||||||
17 | ★★ L'Arch | 16m, 5 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Interesting movement and features
|
||||||
24 | ★★★ Belgian Tourists — 2 attempts | 21m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Had a great flash attempt and fell slapping for the jug at the end of the crux. This is a superb wall with consistently great movement. (2)
|
||||||
22 | ★★★ Amazon Queens Right Hand (flake) Variant | 20m | ★★★ Classic | |||
After falling off the left version I opted for this version for the send. Nice flake feature and still pumpy
|
||||||
Mon 13th Mar 2023 - Mt Coree area | ||||||
Hollywood | ||||||
26 | ★★★ Weazels Ripped My Flesh | 8m, 4 | ★★★ Classic | |||
Such a great climb. Boulder problem on rope with a fun little outro. (4)
|
||||||
Sun 12th Mar 2023 - Mt Coree area | ||||||
Mount Coree Wind Wall | ||||||
19 | ★★★ Jerusalem | 25m, 8 | ★★★ Mega Classic | |||
One of the best 19's I have ever climbed. Perfect movement the whole way with a bit of spice at times.
|
||||||
18 ~19 | ★ Catabolic | 18m, 7 | ||||
This is hard. There is a loose rock above first bolt that will fall off soon, and this will definitely need an upgrade at that time.
|
||||||
13 Hard | ★ Dance Macabre | 10m | ★ Good | |||
Great position, average climbing.
|
||||||
Fri 10th Mar 2023 - New Nowra - Braidwood Road | ||||||
Tianjara Falls Indian Head (north) Impressionist Wall | ||||||
18 Hard | ★★ Working Woes of a Worried Wombat | 28m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Tricky climb, the top corner is amazing rock and hard to read. Really had to think about the movement whilst climbing.
|
||||||
Fri 10th Mar 2023 - New Nowra - Braidwood Road | ||||||

18 | ★★ Mustard | 30m, 11 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Great position and interesting climbing.
|
||||||
21 | ★★ Chicken Lips | 18m, 7 | ★★★ Classic | |||
What a climb! Diverse movement and great features
|
||||||
17 ~19 | ★★ Occasional Dream | 30m, 9 | ||||
This gets 19 in the guide, I agree. This again is strangely bolted. Starts just right of gilead on an awkward corner feature. Hot in the sun.
|
||||||
18 | ★★ Gilead | 30m, 10 | ★★★ Classic | |||
Great climbing. Far left climb. Strange bolting in this area, hard to follow where the lines go because the bolts dont always follow the obvious climbing. This was probably the best climb on this wall.
|
||||||
Wed 1st Mar 2023 - Mt Coree area | ||||||
Hollywood | ||||||
20 | ★ Chilled Left Eyeball | 10m | ★ Good | |||
Pumpy as a warm up, the sequence isn’t obvious.

Hollywood | ||||||
27 | ★★ Head on a Stick — 2 attempts - with Dave Cook, Sausage | 8m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Stoked to climb this today, worked out some better beta for the top and then had a great time on the send, feeling in a good zone. Tried hard and came away with the tick! First hard(ish) sport climb in a long while. Climbs way better than it looks (3)
|
||||||
Wed 15th Feb 2023 - Mt Coree area | ||||||
Hollywood | ||||||
21 Hard | ★ Flat Head - with william Boult | 9m | ★ Good | |||
Great movement down low. Stick clipped the second bolt from the ground, I recommend you do the same. Pumped out first try at the top searching for holds. Easily second go
|
||||||
17 ~18 | ★ Chilled Right Eyeball - with william Boult | 10m | Average | |||
I got pumped
|

Excellent climb for a short lowball. Crux was the mantle.
|

V1 ~V2 | ★ Soilwork | 2m | ||||
Quite fun and tough for a V1
|
||||||
V5 | ★★★ Vato Rat — 2 attempts | 4m | ★★★ Mega Classic | |||
Foot slipped pulling onto the wall. 'Flashed' it after the foot slip. One of the best boulders I have climbed, pure fun with some amazing features.
|
||||||
Thu 24th Nov 2022 - Pierce's Creek | ||||||
Laurel Camp Rd Playboy | ||||||
V4 | ★ Ronaldo direct — 2 attempts | 4m | ||||
Hard pulling on great, although, manufactured holds.
|
||||||
V6 Easy | ★★ #17 Ronaldo | 3m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Found the last move to be the hardest. Cramped start for my height.

|
||||||
Tue 9th Aug 2022 - Pierce's Creek | ||||||
Western Area North Cohiba | ||||||
V6 V5 | ★★ Kickin' like a Boss Stand | 5m | ★★★ Classic | |||
First try today. Tried the sit start as well but kept on falling off the last move. Its surprisingly far harder as a sit.
|
||||||
Sun 24th Jul 2022 - Gibraltar and Corin Road | ||||||
Corin Road Bouldering George's Boulder | ||||||
V6 | ★★ The Tower | 4m | ★★★ Classic | |||

Laurel Camp Rd Sushi Row Roe | ||||||
V0 | ★ Herring | 3m | Average | |||
Sharp.
|
||||||
V3 | ★ Pickled Herring | 4m | Don't Bother | |||
Sharp and awkward
|
||||||
V7 V5 | ★★★ Salmon | 5m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Apparently a hold has ripped off in the middle. I think it is about V7 now. Sent in about 15 minutes, second shot from the ground. Great moves and solid rock compared to the rest of the area.
|
||||||
V5 | Shark's Arete | 3m | Average | |||
Moved left once my hands were on top of the boulder, couldn't find any holds straight above.
|
||||||
V4 V5 | ★ Hake | 2m | ||||
Not a dyno if you are over 6 foot.
|
||||||
V6 | ★★ Elephunk | 4m | ★ Good | |||
Great feature but sharp and crumbly rock. Second shot. Grunty and awkward at times.
|
||||||
Sat 25th Jun 2022 - Queanbeyan area | ||||||
Black Range bouldering Main Area | ||||||
V3 | ★ Alien Craft | 5m | ★ Good | |||
Took a couple of goes to get the bunched and powerful start.
|
||||||
V1 | ★ UFO ridge | 3m | Average | |||
V8 | ★★★ Zac's Arete | 5m | ★★★ Mega Classic | |||
Does not get much better than this! Had every intention of flashing it but had to settle for a third shot send. Took about 10 minutes to work out. Quality moves on quality rock in a quality location!
|
||||||
Wed 15th Jun 2022 - Pierce's Creek | ||||||
Eastern Area Grand Royale | ||||||
V8 V8/9 | ★★ Madame Lash | 7m | ★★★ Mega Classic | |||
Perfect crimping on great rock in a beautiful location, what more can you ask for? This one went down in under an hour. I tried the different moves for a warm up and then managed to climb it third shot from the ground. V8 for me
|

Sharp traverse on slopers and then high top out.

Hard move to pull on with no feet.

Tue 3rd May 2022 - Gibraltar and Corin Road | ||||||
White Horse Rocks | ||||||
24 | ★★ Blue Velvet - with Ryan Macpherson | 20m, 4 | ★★★ Classic | |||
First time placing gear in about 10 years, felt great to re learn the skill. Had a decent onsight attempt but muddled up the top crux sequence. Found a flow moment second shot and climbed it smoothly. Incredible movement with some technical movement. Thanks for the day out Ryan.
|

Thu 14th Apr 2022 - Queanbeyan area | ||||||
Black Range bouldering The Hill | ||||||
V7 | ★★ Roof Raider Left | 2m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Took me a few shots to figure out the beta; ended up using a toe hook out left to grab the arete. Grunty and powerful on good holds.
|
||||||
Thu 14th Apr 2022 - Queanbeyan area | ||||||
Black Range bouldering Upper Main Area | ||||||
V5 | ★★ Thumb Meat | 3m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Climbs pretty well! I used different beta for the crux. I think V5 is fair. Sharp!
|
||||||
V8 | ★★★ The Mojo Connection | 3m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Classic Boulder. Tried it last week at night and got rained out. Today I figured out the beta and then sent it first try from the start, just… bit of a fight and quite messy and was surprised to find myself at the top. One of my favourite Canberra boulders.
|
||||||

Black Range bouldering Upper Main Area | ||||||
V5 | ★★ Mr Mojo | 3m | ★★★ Classic | |||

Sat 19th Mar 2022 - Mt Coree area | ||||||
Lost Vegas Main walls | ||||||
23 | ★★★ Spliff Odyssey | 32m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Some hard to read sections. No chalk which made it an interesting onsight.
|
||||||
19 | ★★★ Cupola | 25m, 12 | ★★★ Classic | |||
One of the more interesting 19's I have ever climbed. Scary and adventurous,
|
||||||
21 | ★★ Sugar Rhyme | 32m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Awesome movement, shame about all the ledges.
|
||||||
21 | ★★ Loosen Up Children | 25m, 10 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Some great moves on this!
|
||||||
22 21 | ★★ Madame Shelley | 12m | ★ Good | |||
Fell off the start first go, lowered and then sent. 22 in my opinion. Tough crimping
|
||||||
Tue 15th Feb 2022 - Canberra | ||||||
Mount Mugga Mugga The Irish Block | ||||||
V8 | ★★ Factor B | 3m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Climbed this by starting with both hands on the downwards 'fang' starting hold. Definitely a lot easier using the new beta rather than how the FA completed it. I might even be inclined to call this V7 but don't feel experienced enough to make that call. Climbed this in about 15 minutes on a hot, humid morning. Very fun movement.
|
||||||
V3 | ★★ Pet Rock | 7m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Second go. Foot slip first shot
|
||||||
V1 | Lock Stock | 3m | Average | |||
V3 | ★★ Pet Rock Direct | 3m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Very close to the start of Factor B, but climbs nicely.
|
||||||
V6 | ★ Training Wheels | 3m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Took a little while to figure out first move. once I got the heal hook sorted it was ok. Took about 15 minutes to sort out.

Thu 30th Dec 2021 - Blue Mountains | ||||||
Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd Cosmic County Area The Freezer | ||||||
24 | ★★ Unity (Rat$ Direct) | 25m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Made the start way harder than it needed to be by going left and missing some obvious holds. Almost botched the start. The top corner feature is great to climb and quite technical.
|
||||||
19 | ★ Absolute Zero | 23m, 5 | Average | |||
Some suspect rock on this one and one runout that seems out of character to the rest of the climb

Nice warm up.
|

24 | ★★ Snappy Dresser | 15m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Happy to onsight this, first day back in the mountains in 6 years! Had to commit to the mono clip and then keep the pump in check for the rest of the route.
