---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
23 | ★★ Split Wave | 20m | Blue Mountains | ★★★ Classic | 2003 | |||
HARDEST ONSIGHT TO DATE!!! Cool climb! Good holds, powerful moves, steep wall! Possibly a little soft ...
|
||||||||
22 | ★★ Murdoch the Horse Fucker | 12m, 5 | Nowra | ★★ Very Good | Thu 25th Dec 2003 | |||
Lots of fun! Not too hard for the grade either!
|
||||||||
22 | ★ Cheesy Noblicker | 5m | Nowra | ★ Good | Sat 19th Jul 2003 | |||
Pretty darn easy! First dyno is basic, and it's all jugs. Soft tick.
|
||||||||
22 | ★★ Killer Boas | 10m | Nowra | ★★★ Classic | Mon 21st Apr 2003 | |||
Great climb! First bolt is a little high. Top jugs next to anchors are VERY dirty. Bring a shovel!
|
||||||||
20 22 | ★ Do Androids Like Duckos | 12m | Blue Mountains | ★ Good | Sat 28th Aug 2004 | |||
A bit tough for 20.
|
||||||||
22 | ★★ Moan Groan Dial Tone | 15m | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Sat 28th Dec 2002 | |||
Technically quite easy, just strenuous! Nice laybacks and a bit of everything. Had a cool "leg-swing" move!
|
||||||||
6b+ 6c | ★★★ Orange Chandeliers | 75m, 28 | Ao Nang Tower | ★★★ Mega Classic | Sat 27th Sep 2003 | |||
One of my all-time favourite climbs! So unique out of the long-tail and up the awesome orange rock!
|
||||||||
21 | ★★ Starman | 25m | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Sat 3rd May 2003 | |||
Graded 21 in Pircher/Carter's latest, and I agree with that grading. A very nice climb, with the crux down.
|
||||||||
21 | ★★★ Wallyard Arete | 18m, 7 | Mount Keira | ★★★ Classic | Sat 2nd Nov 2002 | |||
Cool climb! Had extreme weather. Crux is thin and scary - but super fun!
|
||||||||
21 | ★ Shy Romantic | 5m | Nowra | Average | Sat 19th Jul 2003 | |||
Hasder than "Cheesy" in my book, and not as fun.
|
||||||||
20 21 | ★★ Broken And Barbed | 18m, 6 | Nowra | ★★ Very Good | Sun 20th Apr 2003 | |||
Quite a good climb! Nice technical beginning, then easy ramble up slabby arete.
|
||||||||
21 | ★★ Girly Germs | 15m | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Mon 27th Jan 2003 | |||
Quite fun. Made hard work out of it, but it was never really difficult. Opening moves were a little strange - probably because I was trying to avoid the dirt.
|
||||||||
21 | ★★ Jaws | 15m, 4 | Blue Mountains | ★ Good | 2003 | |||
Nice! Feels like a gym climb. A bit of a crank-fest.
|
||||||||
6b+ | ★★ Muay Thai (Muai Thai) | 15m, 5 | Railay | ★★★ Mega Classic | Thu 25th Sep 2003 | |||
Funky stalactite moves! Pretty strenuous and slick!
|
||||||||
20 | ★★ Backtrack | 18m | Nowra | ★ Good | Tue 13th Apr 2010 | |||
20 | ★★ Beavis | 15m, 6 | Nowra | ★ Good | Thu 25th Dec 2003 | |||
Quite delicate. Entertaining.
|
||||||||
20 | ★★ Spinning Blades of Steel (Eat My Spinning Blades Of Steel, Motherfucker) | 9m | Nowra | ★★★ Classic | Sat 22nd Jun 2002 | |||
A classic! Lots of heel-hook rests, and a hands-free ledge!
|
||||||||
17 20 | ★ Landmines for Line-Dancers | 12m | Blue Mountains | Crap | Sat 28th Dec 2002 | |||
Warmup. Pretty cruddy - a sign of things to come from New York...
|
||||||||
18 20 | ★ Not As Steep As Some | 8m | Nowra | Average | Tue 13th Apr 2010 | |||
20 | ★★ Throbbing Pole Of Love | 15m, 7 | Nowra | Average | Tue 13th Apr 2010 | |||
Pretty tricky.
|
||||||||
19 20 | ★ Change Junkies | 20m | Blue Mountains | ★ Good | Sat 3rd May 2003 | |||
Meant to be the warm-up for the day, but was surprisingly technical for a 19. Cold weather made things difficult.
|
||||||||
19 20 | ★ Muriels Wedding and Russells Divorce | 12m | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Sat 18th May 2002 | |||
Nice, crux is semi-difficult vertical crack with small holds.
|
||||||||
20 | ★★ Layoff | 15m, 7 | Nowra | ★ Good | Sat 30th Aug 2003 | |||
Thin and interesting start. Juggy and boring finish.
|
||||||||
20 | ★★ Crawdad | 12m, 5 | Mount Keira | Average | Sat 3rd Aug 2002 | |||
Pretty thin for a 19. Easy enough up and over bulge. Quite run-out!
|
||||||||
6b | ★★ Short and Savage | 8m, 2 | Railay | Average | Thu 25th Sep 2003 | |||
Pretty uninteresting and short.
|
||||||||
6b | ★★ Massage Secrets | 37m, 13 | Railay | ★★★ Mega Classic | Thu 25th Sep 2003 | |||
Nice, easy climbing. Pitch 2 is fun.
|
||||||||
19 | ★ Fizzbomb | 13m | Nowra | ★★ Very Good | Sat 9th Aug 2003 | |||
Good climb with exciting and strenuous move over bulge.
|
||||||||
19 | ★★ Alien Space Monsters | 25m, 9 | Nowra | ★★ Very Good | Tue 13th Apr 2010 | |||
Interesting start off the pinnacle, then pretty straight forward.
|
||||||||
19 | ★ Silence of the Cams | 15m, 5 | Blue Mountains | Average | Sat 28th Dec 2002 | |||
Not bad! Straight up, easy holds. Quite delicate!
|
||||||||
6a+ | ★★ We Sad | 25m, 8 | Railay | ★★★ Mega Classic | Fri 26th Sep 2003 | |||
My favourite route on the cliff! Easy, but long. Cool start onto stalactite.
|
||||||||
19 | ★ Jester | 20m | Nowra | Average | Sat 10th Aug 2002 | |||
Nice & cruisy. Comfy holds.
|
||||||||
19 | ★ Exploding Budgies | 15m | Blue Mountains | Don't Bother | Sat 28th Dec 2002 | |||
OK, but definitely harder than "Cams". Big rising traverse means lots of drag - probably why it loses a star ...
|
||||||||
6a+ | ★ Nuat Hin | 15m, 7 | Railay | ★★ Very Good | Fri 26th Sep 2003 | |||
Not a bad little route.
|
||||||||
19 | ★★ Gun Barrel Highway | 25m, 10 | Nowra | ★★ Very Good | Sat 29th Mar 2003 | |||
Really good! Grade is about right, and it's nice and sustained.
|
||||||||
19 | ★ Billy Bunter | 15m, 5 | Blue Mountains | Don't Bother | Fri 25th Apr 2003 | |||
Junk! Basically 2 mantles and a simple jug-haul to the top. Didn't help that the rain made the route into a waterfall!
|
||||||||
19 | ★★ JinX | 25m | Blue Mountains | ★★★ Classic | Sat 21st Aug 2004 | |||
Very enjoyable! Good variety moves!
|
||||||||
19 | ★★★ Vanderholics | 25m, 8 | Nowra | ★★ Very Good | Tue 13th Apr 2010 | |||
19 | ★★ The West Face of the Mirrorball (The West Face of the Mirrorball (19 var.)) | 120m | Blue Mountains | ★★★ Mega Classic | Fri 23rd Jan 2004 | |||
Awesome! Led 1st, 3rd, 4th pitch. Tom lead 2nd. Thought 4th pitch was hardest. Really exposed climb! Walk-in is a bitch.
|
||||||||
6a | ★ Schlingal Moritz (Pahn Taalod) | 15m, 6 | Ton Sai | Average | Fri 26th Sep 2003 | |||
Warm-up route.
|
||||||||
6a | ★★★ The Groove Tube | 25m, 11 | Ton Sai | ★★★ Mega Classic | Wed 24th Sep 2003 | |||
Fun climb entirely on threads! Nice exposure.
|
||||||||
18 | ★★ Hello Dolly | 30m, 9 | Point Perpendicular | ★★★ Classic | Thu 22nd Apr 2004 | |||
Cool climb in a superb position! Well protected.
|
||||||||
17 18 | ★ Fingers | 12m, 5 | Mount Keira | ★ Good | Fri 5th Apr 2002 | |||
Contrived. Did without natural gear except for a nut at start. Not bad.
|
||||||||
18 | ★★ Johnny's Jalopies | 20m, 7 | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Sat 28th Aug 2004 | |||
Very nice! A bit loose and sharp in places, but very cruisy.
|
||||||||
18 | ★★ Korca | 24m, 7 | Nowra | ★ Good | Tue 13th Apr 2010 | |||
Beautiful climb up airy arete, top section pretty ordinary.
|
||||||||
18 | ★★ Schwing | 46m | Blue Mountains | ★★★ Mega Classic | Wed 25th Dec 2002 | |||
Been eyeing this ne for ages. Swung leads wih Dave. First pitch is best, top pitch is still great though.
|
||||||||
18 | ★ Flood | 11m, 4 | Nowra | Average | Sat 21st Dec 2002 | |||
Pretty easy, despite mega Nowra grease! Dirty, and not that great ...
|
||||||||
17 18 | ★ Llewdicrous | 25m | Blue Mountains | ★ Good | Sat 21st Aug 2004 | |||
Not bad. Not great either.
|
||||||||
18 | ★★ Old Salt | 18m | Blue Mountains | ★ Good | Sat 18th May 2002 | |||
Simple, but with one balancey move.
|
||||||||
18 | ★★ Depleted Gonad Circumference | 20m, 9 | Nowra | ★★★ Classic | Tue 13th Apr 2010 | |||
A Nowra classic! One cruxy bit, but not too hard.
|
||||||||
18 | ★ The Bandoline Grip | 18m, 6 | Blue Mountains | ★ Good | Mon 27th Jan 2003 | |||
Very poorly protected in middle slab section, but it doesn't really matter. Top section is ... OK.
|
||||||||
18 | ★★ Everything But The Wasp | 25m | Nowra | ★★ Very Good | Tue 13th Apr 2010 | |||
18 | ★ Backdraft | 22m, 7 | Nowra | ★★ Very Good | Sat 9th Aug 2003 | |||
Pretty good! Exciting top section.
|
||||||||
16 17 | ★ Blossom | 10m, 4 | Mount Keira | ★ Good | Sat 2nd Nov 2002 | |||
Easy peasy. Nice holds. Good warm up.
|
||||||||
14 17 | Reefer Headed Woman | 5m, 4 | Rat's Crag | Crap | Sat 9th Nov 2002 | |||
A warm up. Nothing more, nothing less.
|
||||||||
17 | ★★ Hermione | 25m, 8 | Blue Mountains | ★ Good | Mon 10th Jun 2002 | |||
Run-out, loose, but easy as ...
|
||||||||
15 17 | ★ Space Trucken | 10m, 4 | Mount Keira | Average | Mon 30th May 2005 | |||
Not great.
|
||||||||
17 | ★★★ Flake Crack | 53m | Blue Mountains | ★★★ Mega Classic | Sat 15th Nov 2003 | |||
Super climb! Did in in 2 pitches, purely because I wanted my medium cams retrieved. Swallows a lot of medium gear. The small roof is ... exciting!
|
||||||||
17 | ★★ Butt Head | 15m, 7 | Nowra | ★★ Very Good | Mon 21st Apr 2003 | |||
Good warm up. Jug city!
|
||||||||
17 | ★★ Hang On | 15m, 6 | Nowra | ★★★ Classic | Sat 19th Jul 2003 | |||
This is an easy classic! Very interesting all the way up, well protected - a comfy lead!
|
||||||||
17 | ★★ L'Arch | 16m, 5 | Nowra | ★ Good | Tue 13th Apr 2010 | |||
15 17 | ★ Piece of Piss Direct | 9m, 4 | Mount Keira | Don't Bother | Sat 17th Aug 2002 | |||
A piece of pxxx! Pretty short, & more trouble getting the gear off than it's worth.
|
||||||||
16 | ★★ Strong Arms | 14m, 8 | Mount Keira | ★★ Very Good | Sat 17th Aug 2002 | |||
Nice! Too short. Nice jump for start jug, then pretty cruisy up smooth, clean rock. Good views.
|
||||||||
13 16 | ★★ Travail | 20m, 11 | Mount Keira | ★★★ Classic | Tue 13th Apr 2010 | |||
Awesome exposure and superb views. Easy climb, but more like a 16.
|
||||||||
16 | ★★ Mezzaluna | 25m, 8 | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Sat 18th May 2002 | |||
Nice, easy climb up sustained wall. Rock is not the best.
|
||||||||
15 | ★ Self Raising Flower | 6m | Point Perpendicular | Average | Fri 9th Apr 2004 | |||
Easy warmup to steady the nerves!
|
||||||||
15 | ★ Crashing Poodles | 10m, 4 | Nowra | Average | Tue 13th Apr 2010 | |||
15 | ★★ Jaunt | 45m | Mount Keira | ★★★ Classic | Sat 2nd Aug 2003 | |||
Probably the best on the South Face. Quite an interesting & varied adventure with exciting traverse high on pitch 3!
|
||||||||
15 | ★★★ Tombstone Wall | 30m, 3 | Blue Mountains | ★★★ Mega Classic | Mon 25th Apr 2005 | |||
Great! Has it all: tricky mantle, balancey slab-moves, steepening climax! Very tasty!
|
||||||||
15 | ★★ The Carthaginian | 33m | Blue Mountains | ★★★ Classic | Mon 25th Apr 2005 | |||
Do this if you want to practise fist-jamming. It's perfect!
|
||||||||
14 15 | ★ Pitang Pitang | 12m, 6 | Blue Mountains | Average | Wed 25th Dec 2002 | |||
3 year anniversary of outdoor climbing! This is a warmup, but crux was definitely more than 14!
|
||||||||
14 | ★★ Gently Mine | 50m | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Mon 4th Oct 2004 | |||
Very nice, with plenty of solid pro.
|
||||||||
14 | ★★ Joseph | 46m | Blue Mountains | ★ Good | Wed 25th Dec 2002 | |||
FIRST TRAD LEAD! Easy climb, lots of drag! I don't think it's 2 stars though...
|
||||||||
14 | ★ No 1 Crack | 6m | Mount Keira | Don't Bother | Sat 8th Feb 2003 | |||
Trad leading practise. Ultra short and pretty boring. Could have solo'd it no probs.
|
||||||||
14 | ★★ Urban Spaceman | 27m | Point Perpendicular | ★ Good | Mon 28th Mar 2005 | |||
Fun climb. Quite atmospheric.
|
||||||||
13 | ★ Ra | 44m | Blue Mountains | Average | Mon 9th Jun 2003 | |||
Very few bolts, and not much natural pro if any. Kept wandering onto this while doing H.P. I'll count the tick anyway!
|
||||||||
12 | ★★ The Eyrie | 45m, 3 | Blue Mountains | ★★★ Mega Classic | Mon 4th Oct 2004 | |||
Excellent! Very enjoyable & cruisy. Spaced pro down low, but comfortable anyway.
|
||||||||
11 | ★ Gum Tree Wall | 10m, 4 | Mount Keira | Don't Bother | Tue 13th Apr 2010 | |||
Easy as pie, but still undergraded. I would say 14/15.
|
||||||||
9 | ★ Great Unwashed | 20m | Blue Mountains | ★ Good | Sat 24th May 2003 | |||
Good for getting trad practice. Worth doing...
|
||||||||
8 | ★ Nursery | 10m | Mount Keira | Average | Fri 18th Apr 2003 | |||
More trad practice. Pretty boring, but lots of comfortable stances to put in gear!
|
||||||||
8 | ★ Faith | 52m | Blue Mountains | ★ Good | Mon 25th Apr 2005 | |||
First pitch is easy/pleasant/clean. Pitch 2 & 3 aren't great. Bit dirty.
|
||||||||
10 8 | ★★ Hocus Pocus | 49m, 15 | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Mon 9th Jun 2003 | |||
Did it as a climb-out in single pitch with packs. LOADS of rope drag = sore legs. If a sport climb, very run-out, but easy.
|
||||||||
22 | ★★ Hang onto Yourself | 20m | Blue Mountains | ★★★ Classic | Sat 3rd May 2003 | |||
Pretty damn nice! Gets a "classic" because of excellent exposure, interesting climbing, and good protection. However, it is NOT a 22, crux is maybe a 21 if that (especially since I did it with frozen fingers and still did it quite easily.)
|
||||||||
22 21 | ★★ Lady Stardust | 21m, 6 | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Sat 3rd May 2003 | |||
Quite true to it's grade. Has some tricky little moves, and is more sustained than anything I've done at Barden's, but alas it is still a soft tick.
|
||||||||
19 | ★ Wall Thing | 12m, 3 | Berowra | ★ Good | Fri 14th Nov 2003 | |||
Convenient warm-up. Pretty thin up top.
|
||||||||
17 18 | ★ Bombtrack | 24m, 9 | Nowra | ★ Good | Wed 14th Jul 2004 | |||
Crappy start but a nice journey up top half. Exposed, but full of 'Gym-Jugs'.
|
||||||||
18 | ★ Lefty | 10m | Nowra | Don't Bother | Mon 28th Mar 2005 | |||
Start is a little hard for 18, but really fizzles out quickly.
|
||||||||
18 | ★★ Diddy Kong | 24m, 8 | Nowra | ★★★ Classic | Sat 20th Apr 2002 | |||
Definitely a classic! Really nice and sustained, pretty good rock, and well protected.
|
||||||||
17 | ★ Woderwick | 15m | Nowra | ★ Good | Sat 19th Jul 2003 | |||
Good for a warm-up. Don't remember much about it - probably a bit boring ...
|
||||||||
17 | ★★ Yesterday's Heroes | 12m, 4 | Berowra | ★★ Very Good | Fri 14th Nov 2003 | |||
It's Nowra. Quite nice.
|
||||||||
22 | ★ Ants In Your Pants | 7m, 7 | Rat's Crag | Average | Sat 9th Nov 2002 | |||
Was first outdoor climb (25-12-99). After 3 year, I finally returned with Pooks and red-pointed it first attempt! Years of regret - the monkey is off my back!!
|
||||||||
21 | ★★★ Sex Haunt | 30m, 13 | Mount Keira | ★★ Very Good | Sat 23rd Nov 2002 | |||
Fell off during onsight attempt 3/8/02 when I grabbed sandy hold on crux. But today I nailed it! Yeah!! Good 21 with nice exposure!
|
||||||||
21 | ★★ A Day at the Beach | 15m, 6 | Nowra | ★★★ Classic | Tue 13th Apr 2010 | |||
21 | ★★ Shifting Sands | 15m, 5 | Nowra | ★★★ Classic | Mon 21st Apr 2003 | |||
Great rock, great exposure, great climb. Nervous crux high and run-out. Awesome!
|
||||||||
20 | ★★ One Blank Wall and 3 Bloody Rooves | 12m, 5 | Mount Keira | ★★ Very Good | Sat 12th Oct 2002 | |||
Stuffed up the onsight! Tricky crux lunging for crack off smooth wall. Top roof section is easy but pumpy!
|
||||||||
20 | ★ Extra Terrestrial Turkey | 7m | Mount Keira | Average | Sat 17th Aug 2002 | |||
More of a boulder problem than a climb. The start is a thinker, but the top is garbage.
|
||||||||
19 | ★ Original Hot Flyer (Weekend Warrior) | 15m | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Tue 13th Apr 2010 | |||
19 | ★★ Jack High | 20m | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Tue 13th Apr 2010 | |||
My first outdoor lead! Enjoyable & sustained.
|
||||||||
18 | ★ North Crack | 13m | Stanwell Tops | ★ Good | Tue 13th Apr 2010 | |||
Nice climb with good foot jambs.
|
||||||||
19 18 | ★★★ The Eternity | 22m | Blue Mountains | ★★★ Mega Classic | Sat 24th May 2003 | |||
25/12/02 - First second on trad gear. Wish I led it, but would probably be too scared. 24/5/03 - Planned to go round to Flake Crack, but couldn't go past this thing! Truly an awesome line! Totally enjoyable! First 'real' trad lead ( > grade 14!!)
|
||||||||
17 | ★★ Sunday the 13th | 13m | Stanwell Tops | ★ Good | Tue 13th Apr 2010 | |||
Enjoyable climb up nice crack, very picturesque!
