FFA. Wow that went a little easier then I expected, the starts thin but its all about the footwork. Climbs on the left side of the arete the whole way (I climbed onto the right at one point and the rope around the arete was scary.)
Such a mega line up big arete, proud indeed.
Thanx for the catches Paul..

Wow taipan rocks!!! First shot putting the gear on fell at the crux, sent second shot pumped out of my mind. I resorted to using any and all of my body part to stay on the wall as my hands weren't working.

21 | ★★ Polkagris | 15m, 4 | Evans Crown | ★ Good | Sat 14th Apr 2012 | |||
Yep this is a hard little climb, fell at the second bolt so I down climbed back to the start for the send.

24 | ★★ Kanoon | 12m, 4 | Coffs Harbour | ★★★ Classic | Sun 22nd Dec 2013 | |||
Rad steep juggy corner with a great loft crux. Top is no give away either.
I didn't commit to the throw and popped off, easy second shot. The lone mini fixed should just be replaced by a bolt.

28 | ★★★ Venom | 60m, 4 | Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre | ★★★ Classic | Sun 14th Oct 2018 | |||
Project one tick.
Felt pretty hard first lap, punted if after the traverse second shot, sent the no pressure shot on the 3rd.
Some incredible holds on this one, bit spooge today.

25 25 R | ★★★ Medusa | 35m, 3 | Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre | ★★★ Classic | Mon 4th May 2015 | |||
Wow that's a pitch and a half.
I tried getting all the gear in the right places with long runner but the rope got stuck in the first flake, mega drag
Sent second shot but was really working up top and that first run out is very gripping!!

25 | ★★★ Henry Bolte | 30m, 3 | Arapiles | ★★★ Classic | Fri 8th May 2015 | |||
What a way to finish the trip...
Messed up the Onsight but dialed it down for the send. Sweet route if you like slope crimps and mono's.

Back dated
Got all hot and bothered on my first shot, cleaned it up second. Climbs better then it looks and is really good fun. It was a bit tricky to fine the holds the first time. |

13 | ★ Tanner's Leap | 20m | Evans Crown | ★ Good | Sat 14th Apr 2012 | |||
The best way to the summit to watch the sun set. Check out the anchours when you get up there.

Not real worth trying in for.

E2 5c E2 5c | ★★★ Fern Hill | 18m | Peak District Limestone | ★★★ Mega Classic | Mon 6th May 2013 | |||
The climb I came here to do.... Fell off the start and hit the ground, but only lightly. Then plugged a bit more gear (6 placements in 2 metres) and then to the top.
Stella route and some of the best grit I have been on. Super

HVD | ★ Nailsbane | 18m | Lawrencefield Quarry | Average | Tue 7th May 2013 | |||
Up to try and free a cam, climbed to the top for a bit of fun.
Dead easy.

VS 4c | ★★★ Hargreave's Original Route | 16m | Stanage | ★★★ Classic | Wed 8th May 2013 | |||
The highest thing I have soloed but pretty easy. Perfect arvo climbing after rainy morning.
|

E1 6a | ★★ Punklet | 9m | Stanage | ★★ Very Good | Wed 8th May 2013 | |||
Thin start to a long reach then good breaks to the top.
|

HVS 5c | ★ Pedlar's Slab | 11m | Stanage | ★★ Very Good | Wed 8th May 2013 | |||
Solo problem so why even bother tie in. Trick start then easy.
|

E1 5c | ★★ Pedlar's Rib | 11m | Stanage | ★ Good | Wed 8th May 2013 | |||
I pushed the boat out a little bit to far on this one and gave myself a fright. Last solo of the day and pretty gripping, the only gear on the route is after the crux so solo it is.
|

★★ Heather Wall | 16m | Froggatt Edge | ★ Good | Thu 9th May 2013 | ||||
This would be considered a descent climb at many Aussie crags. Pretty easy but fun moving on rock. The peak would be a great place to learn trad, so many easy trad routes.

24 | ★★★ Impulse | 18m | Frog Buttress | ★★★ Classic | Tue 27th Aug 2013 | |||
I finally got the chance to try this classic. Every year I have been up here I have want to climb this and today was the day.
Fell two moves from the top in a common spot on the onsight, sent second shot and donated a green C3 for the next ascensionist. Wicked and sustained climbing with thin but adequate gear.

24 | ★★ Rhinocerotic Crack | 20m | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Sat 12th Apr 2014 | |||
Dang it so close on the onsight, put all the gear on to the top of the crux then tried climbing back to the knee bar cave to recover. Didn't recover when I climbed back and pumped off.
Felt a couple of grades easier once the gear is on. Good fun.

22 | ★★★ Yankee Go Home | 26m | Frog Buttress | ★★★ Classic | Fri 8th Jan 2016 | |||
My Onsight finished with my right hand on the jug at the end of the second crux... A massive flapper and a shot and a half later I got past and into my own personal crux in the steep V groove about. 5 days on and hitting the wall.

So glad to finally free this old dog. Scene of one of my biggest trad whipper of all time a few years ago. Felt fine today with solid moves and bomber gear.

A great easy way to finish a great gramps trip with friends.

Great to do this again after being rained off 20 years ago.
