Two nice pitches of climbing. Route finding en route a bit hard just using the 2015 guidebook. An easy rap in and climb out, pretty efficient for narrow neck

Blackheath Area Porters Pass La La Land Area
23 Legoland Sport 25m, 9 Classic
My first 23 clean lea. Couldn't belive it when I looked up and the next clip was the anchor! A nice rest below the crux to de-pump. I took a direct sequence through the crux, pulling straight through on the left sidepull up to jugs, missing the right leaning sloper. Lots of fun moves, well protected. a classic.

17 Here and Now Sport 20m Very Good
If you're short you'll here it! Move out of scoop at the top is low 20s if you're under 6 foot. But as a tall I thought this was a classic

 
Thu 5th Apr 2018 - Blue Mountains
Katoomba Area Narrow Neck Rhum Dhu
19 Dirty Rotten Pig Sport 130m Mega Classic
A classic. The atmosphere begins with the exhilarating rap in. Pitchs #1 & #2 are great moves in airy positions, lots of fun and soft-ish for the grade. The description on Crag needs to be updated: abseil#4 is not 40m, more like 25m. Totally fine on a single 60m rope. And comments re: funnel web spiders on pitch 2 totally un-warranted. It's typical Blue mountains climbing, fantastic but exposed to the usual dimensions of nature. Go climb this.

Blackheath Area Pulpit Rock Bellbird Wall area
18 Bellbird Wall Sport 100m, 16 Classic
Terrific climb. Strong westerly winds badly effected narrow neck and boar's head, however Bellbird Wall quite protected. Pitch #2 & #3 are great fun with lots of exposure. For a quick outing consider skipping 49m pitch #1. The whole climb is really well protected.
