23 | ★★ Imogen - with Anton | 15m, 7 | ||||
climbed this to attempt the extension, but seeing as i got this clean, im ticking it! esp considering my shocking attempt the other day. moves from second bolt to third are probs my second fav sequence at the Theej
|
||||||
24 | ★ Anticoagulant - with Anton | 15m | ||||
wow first go today! pretty stoked but i do believe its a tad easier for the taller folks. would love to hear some beta from shorter folks - what on earth do you do up there?! great final sequence - maybe my fav crux sequence at the Theej?

21 | ★★ The Dynamic Duo - with Tom Bes | 18m | ||||
wahoo! stemmed and hand jammed to clip the 6th bolt. then a few moves in the crack before coming back onto the face. maybe 21 this way? or easier? was i meant to do more of the overhanging crux face? maybe? but could i? no way so why bother

19 | ★★ Birthday Bolts - with Tom Bes | 20m, 9 | ||||
It goes on gear with reasonable protection! Pretty fun plugging all those horizontal breaks! Totes felt harder though, even though I knew what to do!

Main Crag | ||||||
24 | ★★ Boffin in a Coffin - with Tom Bes | 12m, 4 | ||||
Wow cannot believe this one. Very proud of this ascent. A near onsight grovel and Tom's words of encouragement meant we came back to it after lunch. Despite the already open wounds on my back, I had to try. Not sure about this 'sport climbing crux' business. It's offwidth all the way for me. Fyi one bolt anchor. And let's get a quick shoutout to Merlin.

glad my foot slipped onto the non-existent footer below the crystal, which unlocked everything. was stoked to turn this into a mission alongside mr buns
|
||||||
23 | ★★★ Hercules Extension - with Tom Bes | 22m | ||||

21 | ★★ Ode to a Nuclear Scientist - with Tom Bes | 15m, 6 | ||||

Snake Rock Lower Tier | ||||||
19 | ★ Puff Adder - with Liam Reed | 7m, 4 | ||||
thought I was on the 18. Probs was really. I think I skipped the crux. Following the world thinnest crack/corner was probably the way

19 | ★ Brown Hornet - with Tom Bes | 15m, 6 | ||||
linked into brother son in search of gear. failed greenpoint attempt with a desperate clipping of the second bolt. turns out there is a jug ... there always is
|

Thu 18th Nov 2021 - Earlwood | ||||||
23 | ★★ Hopit - with Tom Bes | 8m | ||||
wow. attempted this once when mikl was bolting nearby and failed, bringing shame upon me and my family (and tom's family). But finally sent it, so hopefully my family and tom's family will speak to me again. also when i eventually start a climbing academy for toddler hard nut test piece crushers of the future, night climbing will be one of my most sought after, yet eccentric training methods (alongside 'feet where your eyes are'). There is no crux if you can't see it.
|
||||||
21 | ★ Whistling in the Dark - with Tom Bes | 9m, 3 | ||||
another of those cruxes around here that looks insane, you do it, come down, and it still looks insane.

Alfords Point Main Area | ||||||
24 | ★★ Sweet Charlotte - with Tom Bes | 15m, 6 | ||||
this will mean nothing to anyone, and t don't really care to explain. but this climb had the most intense (albeit imagined) deadline, burdening me with sleepless nights throughout lockdown. tonight, i shall rest easy. and mr. carter, wherever you may be, you too may now rest easy - i got it done.

failure is no longer my friend. or it is? and now we're good mates and everything in the past is now just water under the bridge? hard to tell
|
||||||
20 | ★★ Mr Squiggle - with Tom Bes | 15m, 5 | ★★ Very Good | |||
easily one of the best climbs here! GET ON IT! its clean and dry and waiting for your filthy mitts and slippy slabtastic feet. And for some extra flavour try on gear! (until final bolt)

24 | ★★ Go Go Gadget - 2010 Remix - with Tom Bes | 10m | ||||
few attempts to clean the sand off, find the holds, and remove the draws for the tru rotpunkt. nighttime connies were a dream

22 | ★★ Hercules - with Tom Bes | 15m | ||||
turns out if you say the phrase, 'I think this is the longest project I've ever had', right before an attempt, you are statistically more likely to to have fat crack become the next proj, and regret ever saying the aforementioned phrase

19 | ★ Brown Hornet - with Tom Bes | 15m, 6 | ||||

greenpoint* adventures with greenzo, who as much as they wanted to be involved, was utterly useless. cute intentions tho.
*clipped the one bolt for a hot sec bc i refuse to die at a Sydney crag |
