Demi Lune
	7b	★★★ Lapinerie — 3 attempts - with Matt King, Catlandia, Elaine	Sport 20m	★★★ Classic
Fell on the jump twice. Think I have it sorted for tomorrow. I reckon the short wall before the overhang is the crux
	6a+	★★ Babylone - with Matt King, Catlandia, Elaine	Sport 20m	★ Good
The worst climb I've done here, and that's not saying much. Tough to read the start
	6b+	★★ Chant de cristal - with Matt King, Catlandia, Elaine	Sport 25m	★★ Very Good
Wed 22nd May 2024 - Céüse
Demi Lune
	6b+	★★ Chant de cristal - with Matt King, Caitlind, Elaine	Sport 25m	★★ Very Good
Went the wrong way at the crux. Chalky pockets everywhere.
	6b	★★ La Revanche du Pingolin - with Matt King, Caitlind, Elaine	Sport	★★ Very Good
	6c+	★★★ El Daü — 2 attempts - with Matt King, Caitlind, Elaine	Sport 25m, 8	★★★ Mega Classic
Felt much better today, sequences dialled then fired it off. Not sure about this converting to a ewbank 22...
Wed 22nd May 2024 - Céüse
Un Pont Sur L'infini
	7a	★★ Livingstone - with Matt King, Caitlind, Elaine	Sport 40m	★★ Very Good
Got the 6b done comfortably enough. The second pitch was a truly transcendental experience. I haven't been scared like that in a while.
Tue 21st May 2024 - Céüse
Demi Lune
	6b	★★ Marylou - with Matt King, Catland, Elaine	Sport 20m	★★★ Classic
Tough crux, nice pumpy coral otherwise as per other routes on this wall.
Tue 21st May 2024 - Céüse
Berlin
	7b+	★★★ Opération houblon P1 - with Matt King, Catland, Elaine 1 7b+ Sport	Sport 18m	★★★ Classic
Really awesome first half into a confounding and tough conclusion. Had to stick clip before I could commit to the move into the undercling.
	7b+	★★★ San Jones Pecos - with Matt King, Catland, Elaine	Sport 25m	★★★ Mega Classic
Astounding line to behold. Very tough for me at the moment, and also wet at the anchor. Was quite gripped at times and took some massive wingers
	6b	★★ Coup De Blues Pour Petit Dom - with Matt King, Catland, Elaine	Sport 20m	★★ Very Good
	6b+	★★ Comme Des Phoques - with Matt King, Catland, Elaine	Sport 20m, 6	★★ Very Good
Sun 19th May 2024 - Céüse
Demi Lune
	6c	★★ Bonnye And Clyde — 2 attempts - with Matt King, Caitland, Elaine	Sport 20m	★★ Very Good
Techy start boulder with a cool thumb hold, into mostly mindless jugging
	6a	★★ Petit Monstre - with Matt King, Caitland, Elaine	Sport 17m, 9	★★★ Classic
	6b	★★ Cannabis ou Nutella - with Matt King, Caitland, Elaine	Sport 20m	★★ Very Good

Awesome climbing to finish the day
Sat 18th May 2024 - Céüse
Demi Lune
	6a+	★★ Couilles de loups - with Matt King, Catland, Aaron	Sport 20m, 11
First climb at Suzie 😍
	6a	★★ Carte noire - with Matt King, Catland, Aaron	Sport 20m	★★★ Classic
	6b+	★★ Harley Davidson — 2 attempts - with Matt King, Catland, Aaron	Sport 25m	★★★ Mega Classic
Got pumped and tried to drive by across my body. Lovely pockets.
	6c+	★★★ El Daü - with Matt King, Catland, Aaron	Sport 25m, 8	★★★ Mega Classic
Woof. Woof.
Mon 13th May 2024 - Ruddalen
Plan 2
	4C	Snedsprickan	Boulder
Cool feature. Couldn't commit to the smeary style feet at first
	4B	★ Kosmos-Donny	Boulder	★ Good
Rounded top outs are squarey
	5B	★ Gånglåten Crew	Boulder
No pad. Imagined the shallow right foot popping and having to crawl back to the tram with something broken.
Mon 26th Feb 2024 - Blue Mountains
Katoomba Area Ngula Bulgarabang/ Radiata Plateau The 24th Dimension
	24	★★ The Infinite Centimetre - with Liv	Sport 30m, 15	★★★ Classic
Following Liv, fell at the top crux trying the crimp-match beta. Still stoked on this wall, such nice rock
Sat 24th Feb 2024 - Bouddi National Park
Wagstaffe - Lobster Cave
	21	★★ Lobster - with Liv	Sport 8m, 6	★★ Very Good
	21	★★ Spider PIG - with Liv	Sport 10m, 5	★ Good
Mantle start this time
	22	★★ Scallops — 2 attempts - with Liv	Sport 10m, 5	★★ Very Good
Struggled at the crux for a while until I tried reaching over the top of my left arm. Briefly really hard for 22. How nice is the rock at the start!
Fri 23rd Feb 2024 - Blue Mountains
Leura Sublime Point West Face (Main Area) Middle Cliffs Iliad Buttress
	16	★★ The Iliad - with Liv 1 16 27 Trad lead by Luke Yerbury Cynics united first pitch. Bit chossy, but climbs well enough. 2 16 27 Trad lead by Luke Yerbury An exciting pitch with minimal (but good) gear. The guidebook says traverse right 5m to base of vegetated crack. If you climb straight up from the peg it is no more than 1-2 meters to the right. 3 16 33 Trad lead by Luke Yerbury Linked last two pitches with many extenders and back cleaning some gear. Drag wasn't a problem. This was the highlight, awesome rock, unique features and fun moves! It was incredibly windy which added some excitement, forecast said 10km/h. Not true.	Trad 87m	★★★ Classic
Nice multi at the grade, but you wanna be confident in your ability to find/place gear and climb well above it at times. The rock improves the higher you get, with some awesome compact sandstone in the last pitch.
Sun 18th Feb 2024 - Blue Mountains
Mount Victoria Area Bardens Lookout Little Triggers Wall
	20	★★ Go Lotto - with David Barrie	Sport 22m, 7	★★ Very Good
	19	★★ Little Triggers - with David Barrie	Sport 25m	★★★ Classic
Sun 18th Feb 2024 - Blue Mountains
Mount Victoria Area Bardens Lookout Rod's Ravine
	20	★ Two Nil - with David Barrie	Sport 25m	★ Good
Inconsistent bolt spacing makes otherwise forgettable climbing more memorable.
Sat 17th Feb 2024 - Blue Mountains
Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd Oronga Crags Banksy Wall
	23	★★ Terra Nullius - with Liv, David Barrie, Jeff Matt	Sport 22m, 12	★★★ Classic
Awesome techie slabbing!
	22	★★ Barrel Blow - with Liv, David Barrie, Jeff Matt	Sport 28m, 16
Awesome! Really liked the whole top half of this route! Agree with another comment - unsure why this one didn't get a halfway anchor like the others, as the character changes abruptly at the same height as polar opposite.
	18	★★ The Polar Opposite - with Liv, David Barrie, Jeff Matt	Sport 20m
	23	★★ Talk Crime - with Liv, David Barrie, Jeff Matt	Sport 23m	★★ Very Good
Really tough before the anchor. Plenty of good rests, but still very pumped.
Sat 10th Feb 2024 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Logan Brae Main Cliff
	23	★★ Wedding Bell Blues — 2 attempts - with David Barrie, Matt x2	Sport 12m	★★ Very Good
No confusion, just pump this time. Second shot
	23	★★ Creep Show - with David Barrie, Matt x2	Sport 18m	★★★ Classic
No dice on the back-to-back
	23	★★ Creep Show - with David Barrie, Matt x2	Sport 18m	★★★ Classic
	23	★★ Creep Show - with David Barrie, Matt x2	Sport 18m	★★★ Classic
	23	★★ Alien Signature — 2 attempts - with David Barrie, Matt x2	Sport 19m	★★ Very Good
Second shot repeat when I got confused and pumped on the warm-up
Sat 27th Jan 2024 - Blue Mountains
Katoomba Area Narrow Neck Farside Main Wall
	25	★★★ Dark Energy - with Giga Crew	Sport 22m, 13	★★★ Mega Classic
Fell a couple of moves lower this second time. Out of juice. For next time, match the narrow rail below anchors.
	25	★★★ Dark Energy - with Giga Crew	Sport 22m, 13	★★★ Mega Classic
Shoulder caution to the wind. Fell one hold from the anchor. What a wild ride!
	24	★★★ Brain Drain - with Giga Crew	Sport 20m, 11	★★★ Mega Classic
Hanging draws, sat quite a bit. Worried about my shoulder being less than 100%
Sun 21st Jan 2024 - Blue Mountains
Mount Victoria Area Mount York Ashes to Ashes Area
	25	★★★ Ashes to Ashes — 2 attempts - with Jared Tyerman	Sport 18m, 7	★★★ Classic
Latched the dyno hold on the onsight with fingertips and held it for a long time without being able to do anything but eventually peel off, whoops! Fun powerful climbing with nice sequences the whole way.
Sun 21st Jan 2024 - Blue Mountains
Mount Victoria Area Mount York Deep Freeze Area
	20	★★ Deep Freeze - with Jared Tyerman	Sport 18m, 11	★★★ Classic
	18	★★ Uncle Amy - with Jared Tyerman	Sport 16m, 6	★★★ Classic
Awesome for the grade. How goods that pocket!!
Sat 20th Jan 2024 - Blue Mountains
Katoomba Area Narrow Neck Farside Main Wall
	25	Kneepad ★★ Captain Kurko - with Matt Clawson, Big Farside Crew	Sport 22m, 12	★★★ Classic
Had to dig deep as I developed a raging pump, but enough jugs and a sketchy kneebar did the trick. Would be good to try and turn this into a laps route
	24	Kneepad ★★★ Brain Drain - with Matt Clawson, Big Farside Crew	Sport 20m, 11	★★★ Mega Classic
Too busy to try and onsight anything today. This thing was mega!
Fri 19th Jan 2024 - Blue Mountains
Katoomba Area Ngula Bulgarabang/ Radiata Plateau The Egg
	24	★★ The Deal with Space - with David Barrie, Tim Winterflood, Chef Matt	Sport 15m	★★ Very Good
Love how non-stop the climbing is for the first four bolts. The jug rest really takes the sting out of the final moves. Stiff 24 or soft 25.
	24	★★ The Deal with Space - with David Barrie, Tim Winterflood, Chef Matt	Sport 15m	★★ Very Good
More warming up and refamiliarising
	24	★★ Red Demon - with David Barrie, Tim Winterflood, Chef Matt	Sport 14m	★★★ Classic
Warming up took a long time today. Was getting pumped between bolts.
Sun 14th Jan 2024 - Blue Mountains
Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd Bell Supercrag Arrivals (Lower)
	21	★★ Jingle Bells - with Liv	Sport 15m	★★ Very Good
Sun 14th Jan 2024 - Blue Mountains

	21	★★ Duck Tits - with Liv	Sport 16m	★★ Very Good
	25	★ Darkwing Duck — 2 attempts - with Liv	Sport 15m, 5	★ Good
The birth of a nemesis. I'm missing something here...
Sat 13th Jan 2024 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Porters Pass La La Land Area
	23	★★★ Legoland - with Matt Clawson	Sport 25m, 9	★★ Very Good
Rpt. Juuuust before the sun. Double Gaston beta is the go!
	24	★★ Escape Velocity — 3 attempts - with Matt Clawson	Sport 20m	★★★ Classic
Thought this was better than la la land, and probably a bit easier too. Foot slipped at the first bulge to end the onsight early. Found some nice bump beta for the crux, but changed this to a nicer static beta after bumbling the second attempt. Very sweaty today. Strangely experienced some send jitters after the crux
Sat 13th Jan 2024 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Porters Pass Dogs, Cats & Apples Wall
	19	★★ Powerbra Rangers - with Matt Clawson	Sport 23m, 8	★★★ Classic
Rpt
Sun 7th Jan 2024 - Blue Mountains
Leura Sublime Point West Face (Main Area) Middle Cliffs Ben Trovato Wall
	23	★★ Reigning Steel - with Liv, David Barrie, Dec, Issy	Sport 17m, 7	★★ Very Good
	25	★★★ Vespasian's Wall (Pitch 1 only) - with Liv, David Barrie, Dec, Issy	Sport 25m	★★★ Classic
More sustained than I had initially expected to reach a good rest. Had a good throw for the first edge, but no flash today. Figured out that I liked getting high feet, frog hips, up right to shallow pinch, then grab edge. Another day
Sat 6th Jan 2024 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Heathcliff
	22	★★ Bad Blood - with Big Crew	Sport 45m, 17	★★ Very Good
Really nice climbing with a crux up the top of pitch two that wasn't hard for the grade. Could lower on an 80 comfortably.
	23	★★ Leighsageezer - with Big Crew 1 22 23m Sport 2 23 25m Sport	Sport 48m	★★ Very Good
Thought the grades could be reversed on the first two pitches. Linked and had to rethread on the 80
	22	★★★ Thing 2 P1 - with Big Crew 1 22 17m Sport	Sport 17m	★★★ Classic
Awesome feature, some great movement and cool holds. Classic!
	22	★★ Pumpkin Puree - with Big Crew	Sport 50m, 10	★ Good
Linked both pitches, 80m rope was enough but gotta let the tail pop through the gri gri
Sat 30th Dec 2023 - Blue Mountains
Mount Victoria Area Bardens Lookout Historic Wells
	23 ~24	★★★ Alive 'n' Kicking - with David Barrie, Matt King, Liv	Sport 25m	★★★ Classic
Took at the first bolt trying to go direct. Stemming worked much better the second time around. Onsighted the rest of the route. Pulled a number of sequences out of my ass on the upper wall. Thought this was quite a stiff little unit, probably still would feel stiff even if you knew the moves. Very worthwhile! The name seemed appropriate, as I "kicked" up a high right foot at least 3 or 4 times
	20 ~19	★★ Funkytown - with David Barrie, Matt King, Liv	Sport 10m	★★★ Classic
Super fun! Shame there's not more of it
	21	★★ Casper - with David Barrie, Matt King, Liv	Mixed trad 25m, 5	★★ Very Good
Quite a bit of climbing at the grade, and getting through the crux was quite surprising given the large amount of blankness.
	21 ~20	★★ Tree Beard - with David Barrie, Matt King, Liv	Sport 10m
Great rock, not 21
Fri 29th Dec 2023 - Blue Mountains
Mount Victoria Area Mitchells Ridge Grace Gully
	24	★★ Mogambo - with David Barrie	Sport 16m	★★ Very Good
Warm-up to the biner below the roof. A nicer warm-up than the 20
	25	★★ Codeine — 4 attempts - with David Barrie, Jason Capenecas	Sport 15m	★ Good
Good flash go with beta from Dave. Managed to fluff it around the same spot (the mono) two more times though before sending. Nice climbing in the lower half (though a bit grainy) which is quite on, then the top wasn't too bad but quite dirty, even with a brush (and always will be).
Sun 24th Dec 2023 - Blue Mountains
Mount Victoria Area Mitchells Ridge Grace Gully
	24	★★ Mogambo - with David Barrie, Chef, Thirsty	Sport 16m	★★ Very Good
	24	★★ Mogambo - with David Barrie, Chef, Thirsty	Sport 16m	★★ Very Good
Surprisingly good flash attempt, fell with hand on anchor jug, just didn't go deep enough to properly get it
	20	Oh! Shut up! - with David Barrie, Chef, Thirsty	Sport 15m	Average
Isalright
Mon 18th Dec 2023 - Mount Keira
West Face
	20	★★ One Blank Wall and 3 Bloody Rooves - with Liv	Sport 12m, 5	★★ Very Good
This rock climb requires rock climbing
	16	★★ Getts Up and Goes - with Liv	Sport 12m, 5
Second bolt recess leverages the biner on the rock just below
Sun 17th Dec 2023 - Point Perpendicular
The Lighthouse Rex Hunt's Area
	20	★★★ Bad Luck Streak - with Liv	Trad 30m	★★★ Mega Classic
Felt like I had no endurance today, I'm gonna blame it on covid. Very tough, insecure jams in the finale, which in classic perp fashion was quite balls to the wall. Managed all the moves at the top in the ABTR-style (Always be top roping).
	22	★★★ Northern Exposure - with Liv	Mixed trad 30m, 6	★★★ Mega Classic
Got a bit pumped and greased off a slopey hold. Probably would have dropped it at the top anyway. Mega pockets at the top, though one section felt quite reachy, slopey and pumpy. Used a 0.4 between bolts halfway, but you could also not place anything if you're brave. Keen to have another go at this at some stage.
	21	★★★ Rex Hunt's Love Child - with Liv	Sport 30m, 10	★★★ Mega Classic
Classy
Sun 17th Dec 2023 - Point Perpendicular
The Lighthouse Red Riding Hood Area
	18	★★ Hooray for Hippies - with Liv	Sport 28m	★★ Very Good
Sat 16th Dec 2023 - Point Perpendicular
Seaside Windjammer Wall
	17	★★★ Grey Mist - with Liv	Trad 30m	★★★ Mega Classic
I found it kind of surprising that this was the first route done at the point when you consider how much more "obvious" some of the cracks/corners are around here. That said, this route is an absolute classic! Well picked! You could just about climb this route on nuts only, I nearly used all of my single set.
	16	★★ Man Overboard - with Liv	Trad 26m	★★★ Classic
Really nice, found the top crack a bit awkward
	19	★★ Drunk And Disorderly - with Liv	Sport 20m	★★ Very Good
Sun 3rd Dec 2023 - Blue Mountains
Medlow Bath Pole 28
	21	★★ Path to Paradise - with David Barrie, Matt King, Catland	Sport 15m, 10	★ Good
Got down and seems I did a hit job on my already feeble pulley. Time to stop ignoring it
Sat 2nd Dec 2023 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Centennial Glen Main Wall
	27	★ Unplugged - with Many	Sport 8m	★ Good
Quick inspect, fun moves up to a much harder boulder. Didn't manage all the moves, but have an idea for how it must work. Might be interested to try this again without a taped finger
	24	★ The Disintegrator - with Many	Sport 7m	Average
Bit of fart-arsing around trying the moves again. The tight slot is very hard to get well. With a high left heel and deep back flag I can actually get it alright, just felt a bit tough to move feet afterwards. Got the jug and kept my foot on when fingers were set well in the slot. Ran out of inspiration to keep trying it today.
	25	★★★ Madge McDonald - with Many	Sport 12m, 7	★★★ Classic
Warm-up, sat at last bolt quite pumped and confused
	24	★ Iona - with Many	Sport 12m	★★ Very Good
Quite good, not too hard at the grade and the finish wasn't thaat shit. Probably seen someone on this before, but didn't help one iota
Fri 1st Dec 2023 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Centennial Glen White Linen Wall
	26	★ Nappies Patrique? - with David Barrie	Sport 10m	★ Good
Snuck it in before a dog bit my face.
Fri 1st Dec 2023 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Porters Pass Sail Away Wall
	25	★★★ Wipe Out - with David Barrie	Sport 30m, 8	★★★ Mega Classic
A pleasure!
	25	★★★ Wipe Out - with David Barrie	Sport 30m, 8	★★★ Mega Classic
Nice and windy today!
Fri 1st Dec 2023 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Porters Pass Dogs, Cats & Apples Wall
	19	★★ Powerbra Rangers - with David Barrie	Sport 23m, 8	★★★ Classic
Lovely conditionas
Tue 28th Nov 2023 - Blue Mountains
Mount Victoria Area Corroboree Walls Fashion Area
	24	★★ Work Cover - with Liv	Sport 20m, 9	★★★ Classic
EOD draw retrieval mission, got to first anchors and then took to the air when the hold I was resting on breathed its last.
	19	★ Pushover Pinnacle Direct - with Liv	Sport 20m, 9	Average
The start boulder is fun (x4 bolts is a lot of bolts for this), but the top is bongo drum pox.
	21	★★ Queen Bitch - with Liv	Sport 15m	★★★ Classic
Awesome feature which was quite cryptic at the start and especially so at the finish.
	24	★★ Work Cover - with Liv	Sport 20m, 9	★★★ Classic
The original route is classic. Excellent rock (even arapilesian down low) and classic mountains crimping. Was incredibly pumped in the top half where the rock gets a bit dirtier and the moves less classic.
	23	★★ Fashion - with Liv	Sport 15m, 7	★★★ Classic
Tough little unit, very cool
Sun 26th Nov 2023 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Centennial Glen White Linen Wall
	26	★ Nappies Patrique? — 2 attempts - with Matt King, Catland, Lachlan	Sport 10m	★ Good
Took a couple goes to figure the moves out between 3rd and 4th. Not a bad little route to do when youve done all the classics. Will have to return.
Sun 26th Nov 2023 - Blue Mountains
Blackheath Area Centennial Glen Wave Wall
	25	★★★ Rubber Lover - with Matt King, Catland, Lachlan	Sport 20m, 5	★★★ Classic
Spooged off in the crux
	21	★★ Jaws - with Matt King, Catland, Lachlan	Sport 15m, 4	★★ Very Good
