Thompson's Point Orca Area | ||||||
15 | ★ Mossy Climb RHV - with Alvin Ong, Lucy, Dan, Niki B | 22m, 7 | ||||
Decided to go easy on the finger, very fun, runout was good practice for head game, no fall zone.

14 | ★ The Towering Inferno - with Patrick Chambers, Amanda Chan | 18m, 11 | ★ Good | |||
Looked wild from the deck - some nice 3D climbing marred by choss in the middle. Engaging move to the anchors.

13 | ★ Guantánamo bay - with Christian, Sammy, Niki, Sam | 24m, 9 | ★ Good | |||
Spaced bolting is not ideal if you're at the grade, but makes for a fun, thoughtful warm-up.
|
||||||
Sun 14th Nov 2021 - GFC | ||||||
Angry Ant Area | ||||||
18 | ★ Harem - with Sammy, Sam | 10m, 6 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Looked intimidating due to steepness, ended up just being fun!
|
||||||
17 | ★ Overly Optimistic - with Sammy, Sam | 12m, 7 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Nice climbing - good warm-up with a fun solid move to start.
|
||||||
16 | ★ Bolt It And They Will Come - with Sammy, Sam | 12m, 7 | ★ Good | |||

Mon 18th Oct 2021 - Bangor West | ||||||
19 20 | ★ Flash as a rat | 12m, 3 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Soft as putty, though exited out the crack. Height helps too?
|
||||||
Sat 13th Mar 2021 - Blue Mountains | ||||||
Mount Victoria Area The Soft Parade The Right Hand End | ||||||
14 | ★ Okipoki - with Sammy, Xab | 10m, 5 | ★ Good | |||
Good climbing but some hollow rock at and below the horizonal band.
|
||||||
11 | ★ Honk On - with Sammy, Xab | 10m, 4 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Actually quite a nice beginners bolted route, wouldn't recommend the greenpoint as some of the rock was quite hollow.
|
||||||
14 | ★ George's Perspiration - with Sammy, Xab | 12m, 6 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Intersting climbing, thoughtful. My favourite of the day?
|
||||||
16 15 | ★ Sensitive Freight - with Sammy, Xab | 8m, 5 | Average | |||
Warmup, turned out to be quite hard and thin.
|
||||||
Sat 6th Mar 2021 - Blue Mountains | ||||||
Blackheath Area Megalong Valley Crags James Bond Mr Big Area | ||||||
15 | ★ Flying Circus - with Dario | 14m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Nice little climb, would make a good warm-up next time, with a head-game move for me to bolt 3.
|
||||||
Sat 20th Feb 2021 - Mount Alexandra | ||||||
Vox Populi Wall | ||||||
20 | ★★ Three and a Half Thousand | 16m, 7 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Surprised myself with this - lead would be a very different... Great climbing on some very thin holds!
|
||||||
Sun 14th Feb 2021 - Mount Alexandra | ||||||
Central Area | ||||||
15 | ★ Parents in Pain - with Matthew Notarangelo, Lucy | 20m, 6 | ★ Good | |||
Fun - went left at the bulge and used a nice sidepull.
|
||||||
Sat 16th Jan 2021 - Stanwell Tops | ||||||
Stonehaven | ||||||
15 | ★ Floating World - with Amanda Chan, Matthew Notarangelo | 20m, 10 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Good long warmup.
|
||||||
17 | ★ I Carried a Watermelon - with Amanda Chan, Matthew Notarangelo | 11m, 6 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Different than the other routes here - overhung and 3D, enjoyed it a lot.
|
||||||
Sat 17th Oct 2020 - Stanwell Tops | ||||||
Stonehaven | ||||||
18 | ★★ Soul Searching - with Catherine Deng | 18m, 9 | ★★★ Classic | |||
So good! Excellent warm-up that doesn't give itself up for an easy tick. Underclings, jams, crimps, and an amazing variety of moves on mostly good holds lends itself to a fantastic climb. Excellent start to a day committed to challenging myself.
|
||||||
Sat 10th Oct 2020 - Elanora Heights | ||||||
Heist Wall | ||||||
18 | ★★ Entrapment | 12m, 7 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Surprisingly thin crux which I found much harder than the other 18's on Feather Wall - felt good to fully commit. Fun throughout with lovely easy climbing before the distinct crux.
|
||||||
Sat 29th Aug 2020 - Mount Alexandra | ||||||
Central Area | ||||||
13 | ★ In the Inn of the Sixth Happiness - with Amanda Chan | 20m, 10 | ★ Good | |||
Meant to do Alpine, and think I ended up doing it's crux before accidently ending up on this?
|
||||||
18 | ★★ Dora the Explorer (and the lost crack of gold.) - with Amanda Chan | 30m, 10 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Soooo long and so fun - just keeps going, long enough to make your feet hurt. Also thought it was a 15 (Mt Alex is pretty confusing tbh), which led to some interesting moments mid-climb.
|
||||||
Sat 29th Aug 2020 - Mount Alexandra | ||||||

First two pitches have a lot of broken holds and the climbing isn't great apart from the crack on P1. P3 and P4 make up for it, with consistently great climbing on interesting terrain.

The Slabs | ||||||
18 | ★★ Sexsion Conexsion - with Matthew Notarangelo | 10m, 4 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Really cool, powerful foot jam-hand traverse combo down low leading into easy arete up high
|
||||||
18 | ★ Castle of Glass - with Matthew Notarangelo | 10m, 4 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Same start as Sexsion Conexsion, then easily up lovely arete
|
||||||
18 | ★ Laid Back Luke - with Matthew Notarangelo | 8m, 2 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Burly start then nice face and traverse. Wonderful kneebar then up easily to anchors.
|
||||||
19 | ★ Balz Zack - with Matthew Notarangelo | 5m, 2 | ★ Good | |||
Really nice move getting past first bolt.
Edit: to match new grade, was marked 18 when onsighted |

16 | ★★ Whale of a Time - with Dad | 50m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Good, with an exposed traverse that climbed better than it looked. Lovely view from the cave!

Alfords Point Main Area | ||||||
15 | ★ Sideline Jack - with Amanda Chan, Vince Luu | 14m, 6 | ★★ Very Good | |||

Lower Teir | ||||||
17 | ★ Still Cannot Fix this Broken Machine | 12m, 4 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Loved this, some solid crimping and committing moves above the bolts - felt a bit hard for 17 (in a good way), proud that I powered through without 'the fear' striking. Great climbing.
|
||||||
16 | ★ Once Bitten | 10m, 3 | ★ Good | |||
Fun climbing on the right of the cave - thoughtful on thin hands and feet, then jug haul to the top.
|
||||||
16 | ★ The End is Nigh | 7m, 2 | ★ Good | |||
Excellent balancey moves between 1st and 2nd bolt - wish it was longer.
|
||||||
16 | ★ Get a Little Bit Like Ganghis Khan | 8m, 3 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Interesting, thought provoking climbing in a shallow corner - surprisingly strenuous at times.
|

Sun 24th Nov 2019 - Dural | ||||||
Lower Teir | ||||||
19 | ★ 6-Foot Something - with Amanda Chan | 12m, 4 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Drop a grade for height but add two for the numerous funnel webs in crucial pockets (seriously be careful) - somehow made it work on some truly terrible holds!
|
||||||
19 | ★ No Brain, No Gain - with Amanda Chan | 10m, 4 | ★ Good | |||
Jammed my right hand up the crack but according to comments here that's not the 19 - bit contrived, felt very natural to use the crack based on bolt position.
|
||||||
16 | ★ Lah Lah Beep Quack - with Amanda Chan | 12m, 4 | ★ Good | |||
Found the first section bloody stiff and the rest super easy
|

15 | ★★ Deathwalker - with Amanda Chan | 10m, 3 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Loved the steep section, proper pumpy fun!

Fun! Just wish it was longer...
|
||||||
15 | ★ The Meaning Of Life - with Jenny, Mira | 11m, 4 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Also very fun, delicate and thoughtful with good feet. Loved the two slabs here.

Medlow Bath The Sunbath | ||||||
11 | ★ Kedumba Sisters | 12m, 7 | ★ Good | |||
Enjoyed the bouldery start, rest of the climb is cruisy jug hauling.
|
||||||
4 | ★ Kaboomba Brothers | 10m, 4 | ★ Good | |||
Group consensus, definitely not a 4! Quite an enjoyable romp regardless, but may be the most sandbagged route I've ever been on.

16 | ★ Science Friction - with Amanda Chan, Joshua Yang | 13m, 5 | ★★★ Classic | |||

|

16 | ★ Assault Your Senses - with Amanda Chan, Joshua Yang | 13m, 6 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Also great fun but not as varied as routes above.
|

15 | ★ Synchronize Your Dogmas - with Amanda Chan, Joshua Yang | 14m, 5 | ★ Good | |||
The most mediocre of the four climbs I did, but still fun.
