25 Rose Pink Cadillac Direct Mixed trad 20m, 3 Mount Wellington Mega Classic Sat 3rd Feb 2024
My favourite single pitch route on the mountain, just so damn classy. Led with a pre placed microcam at the bottom of the crack

24 Talk is Cheap - with Mitch Scanlan-Bloor Mixed trad 220m, 99 Mount Brown Main Face Mega Classic Sun 25th Feb 2024
A full value adventure, with big time exposure, hero moves, roof pulling, corner shimmying (wishing I'd brought my TCs as a less down turned shoe tbh) and a generous sprinkling of classy moves on every pitch. The final 21 pitch felt solid (and pumpy) for the grade. Was pretty gripped for the first couple of pitches near the ocean. Fantastic day, cheers Mitch, and Garry and Simon for equipping.

24 Impulse Trad 18m Frog Buttress Mega Classic Wed 15th Jun 2022
Phew. Got it first shot of the day before the sun rolled around. I was so close on my 3rd attempt and knew I just needed to be fresher for the top section, so the send today felt great!

23 Deliverance Trad 45m Frog Buttress Mega Classic Wed 8th May 2024
I chose to do the Devil's Deliverance option- first half of Devil's Dihedral up to the small stance at the bush, then step right into the corner of Deliverance and continue from there. So although not the original line, it's a much more enjoyable and 3 star option! Awesome gear all the way and an exciting finish. We cleaned out the pin scars in the lower section of the original on the way down, unearthing a large army of ants and muck. Pretty happy to have avoided all that.

One of the more pure sustained crack lines on the mountain. Felt easier than Icarus though.

22 Double Dozen Trad 11m Launceston (Cataract) Gorge Classic Tue 27th Feb 2024
Awesome route. Did a silly and put myself in a precarious position trying to get the second piece in, with the crowds gathering to watch me deck. Much to their disappointment, I sagged onto my hurriedly placed nut, lowered to the ground, then went up again with a micro cam to add to it, and then launched up to victory. Disappointed I couldn't make it an onsight, but so it goes. Packs a sweet punch for a short route.

20 Easy Space Cowboy Trad 30m Mount Wellington Classic Fri 1st Mar 2024
Very well protected, airy and superb climbing. Felt easy for the grade, perhaps there is an easier and a harder way to do it, but it would feel strange doing a slightly harder move where an easier one would suffice. I didn't know there was a lower off rap station, I didn't see that before! Means only a 60m rope would be needed to rap the face rather than going down Linda chimney

22 Yankee Go Home Trad 26m Frog Buttress Classic Mon 3rd Aug 2020
As far as 22's go, this one felt fairly straightforward. Bomber gear, good stances, short cruxes and not too sustained. It was great fun

20 Sky Rocket - with Mitch Scanlan-Bloor Trad 60m Mount Wellington Mega Classic Mon 30th Jan 2023
I was thinking this was going to be overhyped, but nope, it was awesome all the way. A micro cam when traversing around the arete made things feel more sane. Hollow and loose flakes abound but very thoughtful and interesting climbing the whole way. Done as one pitch, which feels like the best way to do it.

19 Lone Stranger Trad 78m Mount Wellington Mega Classic Wed 18th Oct 2023
Led all 3 pitches. I climbed this back in 2020 as well but didn't log it. All 3 pitches have something to offer, P1 is great to warm up for the main dishes of P2 and P3. It was nice having 3 x 0.4, doubles to 2, didn't use the nuts

Great fun. It's like an easier, shorter version of Orestes at Arapiles. Fun movement, stemming and the gear is all there.

20 21 The Stars Look Down Trad 18m Frog Buttress Mon 12th Jul 2021
Superb face climbing and movement. RP's were very handy to have (thanks to Jen for letting me borrow them). Felt like being back at Araps. She ain't a 21 though, the guidebook has this at grade 20, which feels more right. Even then it's quite a bit easier than Devils and piranha. Either way it's a mega classic that I wanted to have another lap on afterwards

20 Piranha - with Sam Pearson Trad 45m Frog Buttress Mega Classic Sun 27th Jun 2021
Spent quite a while hanging on my arms feeling hungover and sorry for myself trying to summon the courage to commit to the first few moves off the deck above Sam's ball nut, but once I got to the start of the chimney the first climb of the day nerves (and upset stomach) disappeared and it was a fairly cruisey yet thought-provoking ride up to the top. The micro cams were handy! Climbed and rapped on a single 70m no problems. Excellent!

20 The One That Got Away Trad 35m Frog Buttress Classic Fri 11th Jun 2021
Thought provoking stemming goodness, took me a while to ponder some of the moves but it's all there thankfully definitely more of a 20 like it is in the guide

21 Light Fingered Maddison Trad 15m Freycinet National Park Sun 24th Apr 2022
It's a tough pumpy number. Fell off after I over committed myself to going for a high hand, but lowered and got it 2nd shot. Technical and a touch on the hard side of 20

Straightforward, excellent gear and an enjoyable climb. Got our ropes stuck on the descent in a notch so I had to reclimb the route again to rescue it.

22 24 Ceiling Your Fate Trad 20m Nowra Classic Fri 7th Aug 2020
Pink pointed on Max's gear. The right facing corner crack felt 18 and then the traverse left was the crux at 22. Cool climbing, the crack is stellar turning from hands to fingers up high, but with good stems.

Retro tick from a while back. I suffered through the crux roof in the sun- felt very cramped and awkward. Long legs did not help here- probably scummed with my knees. Eesch. Not in a hurry to repeat that again

We split it into 2 pitches at the red tat (thanks to whomever sorted this out). Led P1, 2nd P2. I was a bit wobbly and uncertain in the bottom chimney sections (felt hard for 14!) but the top half provides the goods.

16 The Spartan - with Nick Whitelaw Mixed trad 50m, 4 Blue Mountains Mega Classic Tue 15th Sep 2015
Well that was awesome. Struggled a little initially trying to extricate myself from the chimney in P1 (no joke, I couldn't push my biceps up and out of one part, "I'm too massive for this pitch!"). The money pitch 2 was a tad frightening in the off-width, and being 6'3" my head was basically buried in my crotch for the traverse so the only exposure I got was in my groin. P3 was a bit burly. Awesome climbing
