Just did pitches 1 & 2b then rapped down Heat. The mandatory climbing on the big hollow flake is a bit unnerving on the first pitch, but otherwise pretty good climbing.

Split the first into two pitches to share the lead. The most ridiculous hand crack on the first. Then a surprising amount of face-ish bridging on the second.

★★ Timelapse
- with

22 | ★ Golden Thread - with Anthony | 16m, 7 | Sand River | ★★ Very Good | Sun 14th Jun 2020 | |||
First onsight at the grade. Ice-creams all round! The most surprised person was me when the crux move stuck. Brilliant end to a beautiful winters day.
|

5.11 ~5.10 | ★★ Wild Works of Fire - with Rach, Tom Semple | Indian Creek Canyon | ★★ Very Good | Wed 4th Oct 2023 | ||||
Little tricky off the ground and coming out of the pod. Nice varied styles throughout.

20 | ★★ Satyricon - with Tom | 35m | Frog Buttress | ★★★ Classic | Sun 28th Sep 2014 | |||
First onsight at the grade. Brilliant bridging and jambing. Didn't have enough hex's, takes heaps.
|
||||||||
20 | ★ Paint it Black - with Danielle, Phil | 14m, 8 | Sand River | ★ Good | Sat 26th May 2018 | |||
Nice route. Hard start and balancy finish. Start is definitely harder than Penny Black, but the rest is potentially easier.
|
||||||||
20 | ★ Good Yard - with Katrin | 16m, 9 | Sand River | ★ Good | Sun 9th Jun 2019 | |||
Good option. Probably a nicer way to finish this line. Be very suspicious of the big block to the right of the crack at about the third bolt. Vibrates and sounds hollow. Looks to be held in by mud. Hard to avoid though.
|
||||||||
20 | ★★ Golden Chihuahua - with Kym | 15m, 5 | North West Bay River | ★★ Very Good | Sun 24th May 2020 | |||
Really enjoyable. Felt so good to be back out and working the head and muscles again. Extra points for keeping the rope and feet mostly dry.
|
||||||||
20 | ★ Buried Treasure - with Sarah | 15m, 6 | Sand River | ★★ Very Good | Sun 14th Jun 2020 | |||
Similar quality to Golden Anniversary, but definitely a little trickier. Milk the jambs!
|
||||||||
20 | ★ Slaves | 17m, 8 | Sand River | ★★ Very Good | Sat 4th Jul 2020 | |||
Great climb
|
||||||||
20 | ★★ Emptiness, Eagles & Snow - with Scott Godwin, Rach | 18m | South Sister | ★★★ Classic | Sat 7th Nov 2020 | |||
Packs so much in for a short route. A real test of a variety of crack techniques. Happy to get this after a bit of a battle.
|
||||||||
20 | ★ Good Friends - with Martin | 12m | South Sister | ★ Good | Sun 8th Nov 2020 | |||
Short and tough
|
||||||||
20 | ★★ The Loner - with Martin | 16m | South Sister | ★★ Very Good | Sun 8th Nov 2020 | |||
Bit easier than it looked. Made use of some flexible holds though.
|
||||||||
20 | ★ Reluctance - with Chris Speer | 36m | Mount Wellington | ★★ Very Good | Fri 29th Apr 2022 | |||
Enjoyable moves the whole way, but as others commented, the difficulties are really confined to one sequence. Protection with small cam is ok if the flake stays attached.
|
||||||||
20 | ★★ SDTM - with Erika | 12m, 5 | Sand River | ★★ Very Good | Sun 1st May 2022 | |||
Probably slightly easier than the one to the left.

Didn't have time to climb out the cliff today, so did this to get a sample of the remainder of the routes. Take care with some of the clips before you get higher.
|

19 | ★ Three Card Trick - with Danielle, Duncan | 16m, 8 | Sand River | ★ Good | Sun 1st Sep 2019 | |||
Really nice route if you're tall and can reach between the good holds through the bulge. Otherwise maybe add a grade or two.

19 | ★ Golden Anniversary - with Sarah | 26m, 11 | Sand River | ★★ Very Good | Sun 14th Jun 2020 | |||

19 | ★★★ Something Scurrilous - with Chris Speer | 25m | Lowdina | ★★★ Classic | Wed 27th Apr 2022 | |||

19 | ★★ Tomorrows Dream - with Tom Semple | 100m | Bare Rock | ★★ Very Good | Sun 6th Nov 2022 | |||
First climb with the bro in over 3 years. Nice slabbing on the first, airy positions at the end of the second and totally awesome moves on the third. Great route. I would have used a yellow totem near the start of the third pitch if I had it.
|

19 | ★ Tarzan - with Kyle | 9m, 5 | Sand River | ★ Good | Sat 15th Jul 2023 | |||

Happy to push myself into the unknown a bit with this one. Keeps you thinking the whole way with the moves and gear. More than average hollow rock and a few ledges is a bit of a negative.
|

18 | ★ Straight Man's Fear - with Laura | 13m | Frog Buttress | ★ Good | Sat 3rd May 2014 | |||

17 18 | ★ Trad Wankers Must Die - with Maree | 10m, 4 | Waterworks Quarry | ★ Good | Sun 14th Aug 2016 | |||
Avoided some loose looking rock by heading slightly right at the top before coming back to the chains. Maybe I avoided the 18 move, but thought this was easier than JBMHD.
|

18 | ★★★ Digitalis - with Tom Semple | 62m | Mount Wellington | ★★★ Classic | Tue 3rd Jan 2017 | |||
Awesome climb. Even with slimy cracks after the rain. Lead the second pitch and did the original variant out to the left mainly due to the wetness.

Great exposed route on interesting rock. The jugs just keep coming. Not sure on best way to approach the start, but heading up the chimney/gully directly underneath Lost and Found Dreams is not recommended.
|
||||||||
18 | ★★ All Systems Go | 32m | Mount Wellington | ★★ Very Good | Sun 26th Mar 2017 | |||
Pretty cool. Would probably avoid the first zig-zag next time.
|
||||||||
18 | ★★ Power Over Mind - with Danielle | 25m, 12 | Sand River | ★★★ Classic | Sat 20th Jan 2018 | |||
Another excellently route. Good length, sustained, steep and exposed. Maybe on the hard side for 18, at least the way I did the crux. Ended up maybe going a bit high before the traverse.
|

18 | ★ Feng Shui - with Mick | 23m, 8 | Sand River | Average | Sat 7th Apr 2018 | |||

|

19 18 | ★ Join The Dots - with Danielle | 17m, 8 | Sand River | Sun 22nd Apr 2018 | ||||
Also good. Thin down low then exciting arete moves up high. Harder than Impeachment.
|

18 | ★ Impeachment - with Danielle | 17m, 7 | Sand River | ★ Good | Sun 22nd Apr 2018 | |||
Not bad. Turns out we did the top section of Guilty, as Charged here. Lots of bolts here, really just a matter of choosing your own adventure.
|

18 | ★ Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain - with Danielle, Phil | 20m, 8 | Sand River | ★ Good | Sat 26th May 2018 | |||

Warmup

18 | ★ Gin - with Danielle | 10m, 5 | Sand River | ★ Good | Sun 30th Sep 2018 | |||
Absorbing, reachy moves. Keep an eye out for the peregrines around here currently. They took a good look at us but didn’t seem too pissed off.
|

18 | ★★ Sideshow - with Danielle | 12m | Mount Wellington | ★★ Very Good | Sun 21st Oct 2018 | |||

18 | ★ Annica - with Kym, Steph | 17m, 7 | Sand River | ★ Good | Sun 28th Oct 2018 | |||

18 | ★ Witch Hunt - with Kym, Steph | 18m, 7 | Sand River | ★ Good | Sun 28th Oct 2018 | |||

18 | ★★★ Winning Streaks - with Danielle, Me | 120m, 29 | Freycinet National Park | ★★★ Classic | Sun 11th Nov 2018 | |||
What a brilliant day out. Stunning weather, great climbing and well protected. I lead 1st and 3rd. Dan 2nd and 4th. Quality slab climbing in an amazing location.
Approach notes: After heading left and down at the boulders, walk along under the Suzuki Complex until you reach a sloping polished slab. Push through some shrubs to drop down a little onto the next ledge. Cairn here. Walk south for 10m or so before pushing down through some more shrubs. Left for 5m to a fixed rope around a rock.

18 | ★ Bad Back - with Kym | 12m, 5 | Mount Wellington | ★ Good | Mon 11th Mar 2019 | |||
